    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">When the Bulls defeated the Lakers in the 1991 NBA Finals, they had some inside information, according to former coach Phil Jackson.

    He said on his Sirius Satellite radio show that Mike Dunleavy, then the coach of the Lakers, and his staff would diagram plays on a notepad, tear the pages off and throw them underneath the bench. "Our ball boy, who was actually 65 years old, brought them to [assistant] Johnny Bach, and said, `Is this any value to you?'" Jackson said.

    The Bulls had lost Game 1, and after an assistant deciphered the notes, some strategic changes were made, Jackson said. A key one was having Scottie Pippen guard Magic Johnson. The Bulls won the next four games and their first title.</div>
