that we would go dancing at in the suburbs, and the waitresses would call him No Tippin Pippen and told us he'd only tip if they were black. I mean, this was over 30 years ago. I saw/heard it myself, didn't know it was a well-known thing! Previous MessagePrevious Message
In a move that drew criticism of bias toward his hometown teams, Pope Leo XIV officially canonized the 1996-98 Chicago Bulls.
The legendary NBA championship team that has long been discussed as arguably the greatest of all time received an honor far beyond that of any other sports team, as the pontiff venerated the entire roster.
"It will no longer be ‘Air Jordan,' but ‘Saint Jordan,'" the pope said in his proclamation at the Vatican. "For the truly amazing accomplishments of MJ, Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman, and the other members of the team, we now enshrine them among the greatest heroes in the annals of the Catholic Church. Blessed be the 1996-98 Bulls."
Though many were caught off guard by the canonization, Vatican insiders said it was a foregone conclusion. "They were a lock for sainthood," one source said. "His Holiness personally attested to witnessing multiple miraculous events performed by this team. Seventy-two regular-season victories, defeating the Sonics in the 1996 NBA Finals, the ‘Flue Game' — clear evidence of divine intervention."
Pope Leo confirmed that critics of the decision would face excommunication from the Church. "Pontiff don't play," he told a group of cardinals, according to sources.
Relics from the team — a game-worn pair of Jordan's sneakers, a lock of Rodman's green hair, and Pippen's Gatorade cup — were set to tour parishes worldwide.
At publishing time, the Vatican had confirmed that Pope Leo had also issued a proclamation requiring all Catholic Cubs fans to convert to cheering for the White Sox.
