I don't watch much sports :(

Looks like Jordan was MVP in 95-96

the main character of the movie Thomas Ian Nicholas who played Henry Rowengartner - neither of which show up in the 95-96 season roster

The rookie of the year for the NBA in general was Damon Stoudamire from the Toronto Raptors; I can't find who the Bulls thought their "rookie of the year" was specifically though...

(yes, i saw it was a "sql query" but i thought there was more to it; like try to find out who the actual rookie of the year was for the bulls)

or... am i over analyzing this?

Haha! That was totally over-analyzing but I love it!

The Easter Egg was actually really simple. At the bullet point for "impeccable attention to detail" I reference the '93 Bulls. But earlier in the job posting it's the '96 Bulls that are really referenced :)

How is that an Easter Egg?

Closest thing I can come up with is the reference to Pokemon possibly correlating to a stamina level, like how Pokemon have a stamina attribute that goes up as they level up? Edit: Got it, "see the 93' Bulls reference."

You're hired!

If working remotely is an option, I'd happily apply.
