Nba history, what happened in 1998 and there was a short season?

1. there was a labor dispute that wasn't resolved until January or February i think, and it ended when the Players' Union and the NBA Management entered into a new Collective Bargaining Agreement...

2. the NBA had a 50 game season, wherein not all teams faced each other

3. The Chicago Bulls were history... the dynasty ended when Phil Jackson left as coach, Michael Jordan retired (for the second time), Scottie Pippen went to the Rockets to form the Hakeem-Barkley-Scottie Big 3 which ended in a 1st round loss to the rising Lakers, Dennis Rodman was unsigned, until he played a few games with the Lakers, Longley went to the Suns, Kerr went to the Spurs (and became the first non-Celtic to win 4 NBA Championships in a row)... Kukoc was left to lead the Bulls with Harper, and they finished with their worst record ever... (i pitied them when i watched their game on TV... the Sonics were clobbering them)

4. The Kings were a fast rising squad led by Webber... they almost pulled an upset against the then-very strong Jazz

5. Joe Dumars called it a career, as he played his last NBA game in the deciding Game 5 of the 1st round against the Hawks, with the Pistons losing the game and the series...

6. The Jazz's 2-year reign in the West came to an end... they lost in Game 6 to an also-rising Portland Trailblazers squad in the West semis, propelling the Blazers to the Western Conference Finals for the first time since 1992, and ending the Jazz's 3 consecutive West Finals appearances...

7. The New York Knicks became the second 8th seeded team to beat the top-seed, as they beat Miami in the first round in 5 games thanks to Allan Houston's 0.8 shot... they went on an improbable playoff run by sweeping the 4th seed Atlanta Hawks in the semis, then beat the #2 seed Indiana Pacers in the East Finals in 6 games (highlighted by the LJ 4 point play in Game 3) to become the 1st 8th seeded team to enter the NBA Finals

8. The San Antonio Spurs won their first ever NBA championship by mercilessly crushing the injury-depleted Knicks in 5 games... courtesy of Twin Towers Duncan and Robinson

Due to a lockout, the season didn't start until February 5, 1999 after a new six year Collective Bargaining Agreement was reached between the NBA and the National Basketball Players Association. All 29 teams played a shortened 50 game regular season schedule, and the 16 teams who qualified for the playoffs played a full post-season schedule. The season ended with the San Antonio Spurs winning the franchise's first NBA championship, beating the New York Knicks 4 games to 1 in the 1999 NBA Finals.
