You can say that the pistons made Jordan better. The "Jordan Rules" made Michael Jordan use his teammates more, pass more. It also made Pippen better, he became more mature and more focused. The rest of the Bulls were inspired to play better they gained the confedence to win.
As much as I always despised the Pistons they were the obstacle that forced MJ to bring his teammates into the game. Those years were so much damn fun.
@WatchVenusSpa That team beat Kareem and Magic, ended the Celtics dominance, and held MJ back for 3 years (not MJ personally, but kept his team from winning).
If Shaq played this team with the rules in the 00's, maybe Shaq has the advantage. Put them in the 80's and Shaq gets swarmed, brutalized, and misses 25 free throws a game.
"if you had james, kobe, wade, and gasol ON the same team jordan will still destroy them"....whoever wrote that shit need to kill they fucking selves....I mean jordan was great but he aint super dam man.....you people need to realize, these guys are not that bad....ole school was great, but these new school guys are good too.........
If Isiah did the 8:32 foul to anyone in the NBA today, he would've gotten ejected and the player that was fouled would be crying about it and getting in Isiah's face. Instead, MJ just walks it off like a true champion.
@dorkod ya and we would hear mark jakson and stan van gundy crying about it in the commentators box.. the nba is just not as intense as it use to be..
@roderick9ful hey dude, I know you are fucking Kobe fans, just admit the reality that shaq carry the 3 rings, he was unstoppable at that prime...Kobe??? hmmm! I think he is unstoppable to, unstoppable on missing a shots...LOL
@roderick9ful hey dude, I know you are fucking Kobe fans, just admit the reality that shaq carry the 3 rings, he was unstoppable at that prime...Kobe??? hmmm! I think he is unstoppable to, unstoppable on missing a shots...LOL
@wornoutshoes11 I TOTALLY agree with you. Kobe is super overrated. He gets all the credit for the first 3 peat championships but it's was really Shaq carrying the teams weight. I didn't even think he should have won the finals MVP in 2010. Pau Gasol was spectacular in the finals and I freaking hate the Lakers. Kobe is great but he gets TOO much credit
@Renzythegreat91 Riiiiiiiiight. Keep telling yourself that, dude. If you're dumb enough to think that Shaq won those championships all by himself, then you're more of a lost cause than I thought. It's funny to me how every time there's a Jordan video, idiots like you take the time to masterbait all over Jordan. By the way, what the hell did Shaq ever win WITHOUT a hall of fame-level guard? About as much as you've ever won--jack squat!! Kobe had 24 points and 15 boards in Game 7 against Smelltics
@roderick9ful Wow your and idiot. First of it's spelled Masturbate you giant retard. And if I masturbate to Jordan then You have Kobe's nuts in your mouth and you Would kill your own mom just to jack him off. Shaq averaged 30 or more points in the finals when the Lakers had their 3peat. Kobe played Second banana to Shaq. And if you weren't to busy being a Kobetard then you would kno. Shaq was the leading scorer in his prime years in L.A. After he left then Kobe really started to take over.
@roderick9ful I didn't say that Shaq did it all by himself, your jus putting words in my mouth. I said He carried most of the weight. He basically averaged 30 PTs or more during his prime years in L.A, people give Kobe too much credit when it's a TEAM sport. Nobody ever really gave Shaq or Gasol as much credit as they do Kobe.
These were games, the crowd, the defense, no bullish calls, trash talking, the intimidation factor, the rough play, I would love to see today's star go through this!
LOL! Watching this is awesome especially comparing it to today's game. If any of today's teams went up against the Pistons of the late 80s-early 90s, the refs would call the game on account of murder. Man I hated those Pistons. I like playing a physical game, but the Pistons and Knicks were just plain thugs in those days.
So Kobe is actually the best winner among the losers in the league, if that is how he gets his stats and how his greatness is made, he can have it. Just got swept by the Mavericks, you cant talk shit to me, My Bulls never got swept by anyone, look it up, homey. Plus the Lakers had Karl Malone, Gary Payton, Shaq, and Kobe and still lost in the finals, how the fuck could that happen. 4 future hall of fame players in the starting line up and still lose in the finals, just plain pathetic.
@KQH8 if you're great, you will exceed in any era...your skill will adjust to the style of play and eventually, you will do what your skill level gives you potential to do....if you're gonna knock KOBE'S rings, you gotta knock SHAQ'S rings too, since they won 3 titles together...a champion is a champion period....derrick rose, you mean to tell me he couldnt' ball in the 80's and 90's?..
First of all, the Lakers are winning in a washed up era. He scored 81 against a Toronto Raptors team that just plained sucked. How can you suggest with a straight face the Kobe is even on the same level as Jordan when in fact the league and its talents have gone in the dumpster since Jordan left the game. David Stern begged Jordan to stay because of the ratings he produced. Desperate Housewives and the Apprentice has higher ratings than todays NBA, deal with it, homey.
@KQH8 this league ain't washed up, that's a disrespect to everyone who's playing now....and if you really want to break it down, the real golden era of the nba didn't occur in the 90's, it occured in the 80's, in particular, up until the 89-90 when the nba began it's lastest round of expansion which diluted the talent, so arguably you can say, the competition level across the board had declined, which it did...even dennis rodman said the 95-96 bulls team wouldn't have won 70 games in the 80's.
@KQH8 yes, the league suffered a serious lack of skilled play after the lakers 3peat in 2002, but in the past 5 years, the league has experienced a major resurgence where games are intense, awesome play..so I won't disrespect the players of today but will always remember the golden age of the nba.....Tim Duncan, David Robisnson, 2 bonafide hall of famers, KOBE destroyed the both of those cats during the 2001 wcf where he took both those cats to the rack and broke their collective will
@KQH8 see, I go where there's proof in the pudding, JIM CLEAMONS, assistant bulls/laker coach said himself out of his own grill, JORDAN/KOBE in their prime going one on one, there would be blood left on the floor....horace grant said they are on par basketball skill wise,...same w/ron harper...these cats ain't just gone make a statement like that and play the role....yes, jordan is the greatest ever just from the sheer magnitude of his game, Kobe is top 5 greatest ever..period..
Kobe winning without Shaq is out of the question, Kobe obviously has won without him. The reason the Lakers are even champions is because of Phil Jackson and how he arranged the organization. Ron Artest is the new Dennis Rodman, Pau Gasol resembles Toni Kukoc, and Lamar Odom reminds me of Horace Grant and Cliff Levingston. But the Lakers had the best big man in the game in Shaq and let him go after he won 3 championships. Oneal was the leader on that team. 3 Finals MVP's dont lie.
@KQH8 what you said about phil jackson building the lakers in the same model of the bulls is true.....that's all good...if it produces championships....but since phil played for the new york knicks, we can make an argument that phil built the bulls based on how the knicks teams of the 70's was structured, people don't deviate from past success....
I respect Kobe for his talent, but I believe that he has organized his game around Jordan, just look at how he plays. He is the number 1 imitator of Jordan, he has mastered imitating Jordan. I hate the Lakers and Kobe Bryant, but I respect the back to back titles, but they just got swept, and sent Phil Jackson home a loser. Jordan never let Phil lose, only Kobe did.
@KQH8 I never said that Kobe didnt' pattern his game after jordan, who wouldn't want to, especially if you played the same position, but just as kobe patterned his game after jordan, jordan was heavily influenced by the likes of david thompson and julius erving, who was influenced by elgin baylor....but eventually, in order to play this game, you have to have your own game....and KOBE has proven w/out a shadow of a doubt that he's one of the top 5 greatest players in the history of this game.
The Celtics of the 60's have this Bulls team beat but what they did to the Pistons before they even won a title was one of the greatest ass kickings in the history of ANY sport!
Jordan played among the all time greats, which set the stage for him to be named the greatest of all time. I cannot fathom how anyone can say that Kobe Bryant is on the same level. Kobe is just another imitation, he owes his entire game to Jordan.
@KQH8 JORDAN is the greatest ever...but my boy KOBE is not an imitation....now KENDALL GILL was an imitation, had the look, mannerisms, walk that jordan had but lacked the game..KOBE had amazing skill set, the greatest skill set the game has every seen for anyone coming straight out of high school...you ain't an imitator when you have 5 rings...even JORDAN said himself that KOBE was a more advanced basketball player at 19 than he was at the same age.....KOBE, one of the top 5 greatest ever
@scorpionJB I will give your boy Kobe some credit for coming out of highschool and maturing the way that he did, but he owes his entire game to Jordan, and anyone with a I.Q. level above room temperature can see that. He has the exact same mannerisms, finger waving, hell he even sticks his tongue out. But unlike Jordan, Kobe just got swept by the Mavericks, Jordan never got swept trying to defend the championship, Jordan never got swept at all, only your boy Kobe did. He sent Phil out a loser.
@KQH8 yeah, we got swept, but it don't take away the back to back titles we just won, what everyone else is trying to get.....KOBE's 32, still has time to win yet another championship....my thing is, I've always viewed jordan as the best ever when he deserved that distinction...what makes kobe great, what defines his greatness is that he has the guts to try and surpass jordan that's the root of the hate....not only that, we just went to 3 straight finals, can't sneeze at that w/a straight face
@KQH8 people will say KOBE didn't win w/out SHAQ, that's such a crazy argument considering the fact that it takes a team to win it anyway....KOBE'S game wasn't dependant on SHAQ, his game has been the same since SHAQ left the lakers.....when the bulls lost to the magic in 1995 playoffs, I said at that moment, if they ever got dennis rodman, they would win 70, what happened that summer, they signed RODMAN, and commenced to winning 72 games...RODMAN set the stage for the 2nd 3 peat to be possible
@scorpionJB KOBE IS THE MOST OVERRATED PLAYER IN THE HISTORY OF THE GAME. THE NBA HAD TO CREATE A "JORDAN PERSONA" IN HIM TO FOOL EVERYONE THAT THE GAME IS STILL THE SAME AFTER MJ LEFT. REMEMBER, DR.J PASSED THE TORCHED TO MAGIC AND BIRD, EVENTUALLY FROM MAGIC TO JORDAN... MJ NEVER PASSED IT TO ANY RIGHTFULL SUCCESSOR. WHY? BECAUSE THERE WAS NONE! THE GREATNESS OF KOBE IS A MYTH CREATED BY THE NBA... HOW CAN HE BE ALONGSIDE MJ IF HE'S NOT EVEN THE GREATEST LAKER? END OF STORY...
@wornoutshoes11 man, I'm so tired of hearing that crazy ass point of view...this dude been playing basketball for 15 years, and has 5 rings, that's such a stupid comment, and before you or anyone else say that KOBE won 3 w/SHAQ, MAGIC won ALL 5 of his rings w/KAREEM and WORTHY, nobody wraps their mind around that..MAGIC never won a championship w/out either one of those guys and both are the greatest 50 ever w/KAREEM being the best center ever...that don't diminish MAGIC'S game,
@scorpionJB how old are u boy? do u really wanna know why people dont talk about magic's rings while having kareem and worthy on his team compared to kobe? let me educate u boy... magic's laker team is a legit team! magic, worthy, cooper, green were "DRAFTED" by the lakers while scott was aquired thru draft day. kareem played for 14 years for the lakers. rambis played his entire career as a laker... IN SHORT... THE CORE OF THE TEAM WAS INTACT TILL IT DIED A NATURAL DEATH MAKING IT A LEGIT TEAM.
@wornoutshoes11 first of all, I ain't no boy so check yourself, second of all, I'm a grown man who watched the showtime lakers during 80's when I was a teenager, so the info you shelling out, I already know 10 fold....it doesn't matter if these players were drafted or traded, or signed by free agency...as far as KAREEM, he did NOT play his entire career in LA, he was "TRADED" 2 years before MAGIC got there, plus they had NORM NIXON, JAMAAL WILKES, and MICHAEL COOPER before MAGIC got there
@scorpionJB if your a grown man like u said u are then wtf are u arguing about kobe not being the most overrated player in history!? YOU SHOULD KNOW BETTER!!! kobe is for the 15yr olds dude... grow up!
@wornoutshoes11 2nd of all, the championships the LAKERS won in 85, 87, and 88 were realized because of "key" acquisitions, such as signing BOB MCADOO, bringing in MYCHAL THOMPSON during the 86-87 when they went 65-17, those acquisitions were just as important as the core unit itself because LA made those acquisitions to surpass BOSTON when LA didn't win the title the years the celtics did...so it wasn't all just MAGIC...
@wornoutshoes11 MAGIC had more "help" than KOBE did, MAGIC had BOB MCADOO (one of the greatest scorers of all time) coming off the bench as a 6th man, BYRON SCOTT 18-20 ppg scorer...yes, the 80's were teh best era of all time in the nba, even better than the 90's because of all the expansion took place, but I ain't gone piss on today's generation of players just to prove that was fact...
@scorpionJB what about kobe's lakers?? well they need to get shaq out of orlando. and still they cant win shit, so they hired the entire coaching staff of the champion bulls including harper thus making use of the triangle offense. the point is...the lakers had become desperate to win a championship during kobe's era. after kobe bitch slapped shaq out of L.A. the desperation never ended and they just kept surrounding kobe with good players that does the job for him while he takes all the credit.
@wornoutshoes11 this is another lackluster comment because your'e twisting the reality of the situation....bringing the chicago bull coaching staff, hiring phil jackson because of KOBE?...that's flawed, if anything, that should be said they did all that for SHAQ since he was the focal point of the team prior to the LAKERS winning the 2000 championship......the reason the lakers didn't win the title up until that point is the same reason the bulls failed to prior to 1991, lack of team maturity.
@wornoutshoes11 why the hell do you think teams hired successful coaches for in the first place?....to make their team better....why did the chicago bulls hire tom tibadeau for?...because he's a better coach than vinny del negro.....so I don't even know why you brought that up to begin with.....SHAQ was in the league 4 years earlier than KOBE was to the argument, since you brought it up, is that the LAKER made all those moves for "SHAQ"...that's who lackluster this argument is...
@wornoutshoes11 BIRD had allot of fuckin help too...he played w/the greatest frontcourt in the history of this game...that frontcourt propelled the BOSTON CELTICS to four straight appearance in the finals...KEVIN MCHALE, the best post moves of all time, yes, best post moves, that's where HAKEEM OLAJUWON patterned his moves after...ROBERT PARISH, a staple at center...DANNY AINGE, one of the premier shooting guards in the game period..DENNIS JOHNSON...one of the greatest defensive guards ever
@wornoutshoes11 so don't give me this crap and dare say them cats did it by themselves because they didn't...were they the best on the team throughout the course of a season, yes, but KAREEM nba final mvp in 85, WORTHY nba final mvp in 1988, by the time the lakers repeated in 1988, byron scott was the leading scorer on the team....
@scorpionJB magic's lakers played "team" basketball thats how they won their 5 rings. and what about kobe??... he plays hoops for himself alone and the rest of the team's responsibility is to bail him out of his shit hole! and guess what... if they win he takes all the credit but if they lose... he puts his finger to someone else! how the hell would u respect that!!! KOBE= MOST OVERRATED PLAYER EVER TO PLAY THE GAME! that will be his legacy when he retires... END OF STORY!
@KQH8 the main reason I consider KOBE in the conversation, not just because of his skill set....but because of what JORDAN himself said back in 1998...JORDAN said "yeah, kobe is a more advanced basketball player at 19 than I was at the same age"...JORDAN said that out of his own mouth, he never said that about anyone else before or since..not lebron, not any of the "next jordans" back in the day, only KOBE. the truth don't lie man..KOBE right now, one of the top 5 greatest ever to play this game
This is true basketball! Now the best players want to join together to get championships but nah at this time there was a star for each team. Oh and i say the need to make a NBA Live with nothing but old school players on it.
Never saw MJ talk as much as he did in this particular game. He wanted to make a statement early and he and Bulls did just that.........and then some!!!
I remember this series when the bad boys got swept after owning the Bulls for several years. And how ironic though is though the Pistons have beaten the Bulls the three previous seasons in the playoffs, they 'never' swept the Bulls in a series. The Bulls did in '91 as sweet revenge.
@thelastdom do you what we piston fans have on you.. they changed the rules so jordan could win.. couldnt win without the rules change.. jordabn had said that the the pistons are bad for basketball.. i would be pissed too.. but you dont appreciate that.. the rules were changed so jordan could win.. so in a way.. the pistons win.. pussies
if you even breathed on Jordan back then they called a foul on you. not to mention that you could probably count on two hands the number of times that he actually fouled out of a game. with that being said, hes the greatest, and i really miss the old NBA
People don't realize how tough to beat those Detroit teams were. Not only were they physical, but they wore teams down with their depth. They had an 9 player rotation of Isiah Thomas, Bill Laimbeer, Joe Dumars, Vinnie Johnson, Dennis Rodman, Rick Mahorn, John Salley, Adrian Dantley (traded eventually for Mark Aguirre), and James Edwards. Once the Bulls got past them, nobody really challenged them in that way ever again. That's why they won 6 championships.
@cpj06 they tried it with the heat. 3 superstars with big egos, and it failed. as for the bulls, it was clear that mj was the leader, a loud-mouth one, pushing everybody to their li its. scottie was a silent guy, who led by example
Also, around 4:10 Rodman and MJ get into it -- then when MJ is on his way to the free throw line Rodman gives him a pat on the rear and MJ then does the same to Rodman -- and Marv Albert says "Jordan just gave Rodman a pat on the rear, as if to say let's forget about it." Those were abrasive slaps, as if to say "alright lets go to war" -- it wasn't a symbol of peace. I think the refs and announcers were a little out of touch with some of the nuances going on between these teams...
LeBron wants to be the greatest of all time, he wants to be a global icon, he wants to be the King, yet he has shown no evidence that he wants to put in the work to really achieve those things. Instead of spending this offseason working on developing a low post game, or a midrange offense, he spent his time developing his media machine. He knows the key to being an all-time great is winning titles, but he thinks there is a shortcut to getting there.
Where did the battle in games go? I see them fighting here for every play and now not even in the finals you get the sence that they're giving everything they've got to win the game.
Thank you for this video. It takes me right back to watching these games as a kid in Chicago. What a truly great era for the NBA and for the game of basketball (not to mention for 13 year-old me).
LeBron had a chance to do this for Cleveland.
He is his own man, with the right to make his own decisions but... Wow, what an opportunity wasted.
kOrOne79 seriously if I, could dunk, then even you can, I am just 5ft 7inchs seriously! Pretty much just follow a real training program like the one at | 50 inch vertical [dot] com |, it will expand your jump/rebounding and your first step in basketball.
Wow if this game happens today the Detroit would have at least 20 flagrant fouls. Look at the physical defense by the Detroit Pistons over MJ. The Golden Era of NBA. Today's players are a bunch of sissies and Sterns spoiled babies, touch them and you will get a foul or even worst a technical flagrant foul
You know how they used to say that Dennis was a master of getting into people's head mentally? I disagree. I think MJ was the master of that. Look at the play 3:34 . Dennis had fouled MJ in the previous baskets. on that play MJ blows by Dennis and puts it in the hoop and comes back telling him all about it. On defense, Dennis already lost his mind and is looking for physical contact with MJ and pushes him and gets in his face. MJ doesn't back down either..
Detroit had no chance in this series; they knew it was over prior to it starting. This series was actually the worse of the previous 3 (1988-1990). Detroit never showed up. Take a look at the 1990 series vs. this series and pay attention to how Detroit played. They were hungrier the year before and here they are so passive. It's like they never wanted to play.
cant believe you are still around. i admire your loyalty. i think detriot had enough rings. they won two and they almost wanted to quit playing basketball, what a boring game for them.haha
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i really like dhis video of urs. because it is all about; 'The Chicago Bulls'! which is an back in the day of 1991, where the game of (Bulls v.s. Pistons) ;) if you know what i'd mean.. right? even the .:NBA ALL STATR GAME:. [Mj]!! uh u know what i'm saying?? will to tell the true un *sigh* i've have a {disability-problem} :( sad isn't it? so anyway i'm going to give it a 4-POINTS!!!! :)
mike even said that joe dumars locked him up better than anyone ever did. the pistons knew what to do but it was the bulls turn to take over just like the pistons had to take it from boston.
I hate how people downplay the Bulls by calling this Piston team old. The Pistons were still great defensively, had won 2 rings in 89 and 90. the 91 team was a bit weaker due to isiah's injury but the bulls absolutely dominated them. isiah was still an all star caliber player, joe d was in his defensive prime etc. Bulls just needed pippen and grant to mature and grow. MJ took care of the rest.
the pistons run started in 1986 they played the lakers in the finals in 1988 and they had to get passed the celtics so this pistons team was on the end of the road it was mike's turn.
Thank you for the videos!!! Brings me back to when I tried to copy every single move MJ and Scottie Pippen made! I didn't say I did them like they did, I said "I TRIED"! LOL!
".....going at each other".....a phrase Marv Albert does not have to use anymore because the intensity has gone down so much. I could not believe my eyes when I saw Lebron's Cavs just go down like that....no fight, no hard fouls, no messages sent....nothing !!! Just watching the game fade away !!!
Hah, at 1:38, MJ just bounces off Laimbeer like that and no complaining (which probably would have sent many players today crashing and crying) leading to a 'type 2' flagrant. Folks, this is how its supposed to be played (not flailing your arms at every play)
You could see it in the Pistons faces: They knew they werent going to win this series. They were still a great team that year and would have 3-peated except the Bulls were there now.
Plus Rick Mahorn was stolen from them by Minnesota before the season. Only to be traded not back to Detroit but to the 76ers. That definitely had an effect on that team psychologically.
You said it thunderstruck. The Chicago dynasty and surrounding teams were the greatest to ever compete. I'm so tired of hearing about Kobe and Lebron. They and their teams would literally be physically beaten to tears by any of these players.
I agree. those born yesterdays. think of the Bulls in the 2nd 3 peat run. They think the Jordan was great because of great support. True, but they lived up to expectations I mean, 72-10. 69-13, 60-22(w/o Pippen for half of the season). Anyways, Point is that the first 3 peat run, there were only two all stars for the Bulls: Jordan and Pippen. Kobe always have a talented center to play with.
@eadymike I agree completely. I think that basketball isn't the only sport where the average skill level dropped. I think its sad that its all about the money now, where before it seemed like it was more for the love of the game.
You can say that the pistons made Jordan better. The "Jordan Rules" made Michael Jordan use his teammates more, pass more. It also made Pippen better, he became more mature and more focused. The rest of the Bulls were inspired to play better they gained the confedence to win.

@wornoutshoes11 I TOTALLY agree with you. Kobe is super overrated. He gets all the credit for the first 3 peat championships but it's was really Shaq carrying the teams weight. I didn't even think he should have won the finals MVP in 2010. Pau Gasol was spectacular in the finals and I freaking hate the Lakers. Kobe is great but he gets TOO much credit

About as much as you've ever won--jack squat!! Kobe had 24 points and 15 boards in Game 7 against Smelltics

Shaq averaged 30 or more points in the finals when the Lakers had their 3peat. Kobe played Second banana to Shaq. And if you weren't to busy being a Kobetard then you would kno. Shaq was the leading scorer in his prime years in L.A. After he left then Kobe really started to take over.

@roderick9ful I didn't say that Shaq did it all by himself, your jus putting words in my mouth. I said He carried most of the weight. He basically averaged 30 PTs or more during his prime years in L.A, people give Kobe too much credit when it's a TEAM sport. Nobody ever really gave Shaq or Gasol as much credit as they do Kobe.

I like playing a physical game, but the Pistons and Knicks were just plain thugs in those days.

So Kobe is actually the best winner among the losers in the league, if that is how he gets his stats and how his greatness is made, he can have it. Just got swept by the Mavericks, you cant talk shit to me, My Bulls never got swept by anyone, look it up, homey. Plus the Lakers had Karl Malone, Gary Payton, Shaq, and Kobe and still lost in the finals, how the fuck could that happen. 4 future hall of fame players in the starting line up and still lose in the finals, just plain pathetic.

@KQH8 if you're great, you will exceed in any era...your skill will adjust to the style of play and eventually, you will do what your skill level gives you potential to do....if you're gonna knock KOBE'S rings, you gotta knock SHAQ'S rings too, since they won 3 titles together...a champion is a champion period....derrick rose, you mean to tell me he couldnt' ball in the 80's and 90's?..
scorpionJB 9 months ago
First of all, the Lakers are winning in a washed up era. He scored 81 against a Toronto Raptors team that just plained sucked. How can you suggest with a straight face the Kobe is even on the same level as Jordan when in fact the league and its talents have gone in the dumpster since Jordan left the game. David Stern begged Jordan to stay because of the ratings he produced. Desperate Housewives and the Apprentice has higher ratings than todays NBA, deal with it, homey.
KQH8 9 months ago
@KQH8 this league ain't washed up, that's a disrespect to everyone who's playing now....and if you really want to break it down, the real golden era of the nba didn't occur in the 90's, it occured in the 80's, in particular, up until the 89-90 when the nba began it's lastest round of expansion which diluted the talent, so arguably you can say, the competition level across the board had declined, which it did...even dennis rodman said the 95-96 bulls team wouldn't have won 70 games in the 80's.
scorpionJB 9 months ago
@KQH8 yes, the league suffered a serious lack of skilled play after the lakers 3peat in 2002, but in the past 5 years, the league has experienced a major resurgence where games are intense, awesome play..so I won't disrespect the players of today but will always remember the golden age of the nba.....Tim Duncan, David Robisnson, 2 bonafide hall of famers, KOBE destroyed the both of those cats during the 2001 wcf where he took both those cats to the rack and broke their collective will

scorpionJB 9 months ago
Kobe winning without Shaq is out of the question, Kobe obviously has won without him. The reason the Lakers are even champions is because of Phil Jackson and how he arranged the organization. Ron Artest is the new Dennis Rodman, Pau Gasol resembles Toni Kukoc, and Lamar Odom reminds me of Horace Grant and Cliff Levingston. But the Lakers had the best big man in the game in Shaq and let him go after he won 3 championships. Oneal was the leader on that team. 3 Finals MVP's dont lie.
KQH8 9 months ago
@KQH8 what you said about phil jackson building the lakers in the same model of the bulls is true.....that's all good...if it produces championships....but since phil played for the new york knicks, we can make an argument that phil built the bulls based on how the knicks teams of the 70's was structured, people don't deviate from past success....
scorpionJB 9 months ago
I respect Kobe for his talent, but I believe that he has organized his game around Jordan, just look at how he plays. He is the number 1 imitator of Jordan, he has mastered imitating Jordan. I hate the Lakers and Kobe Bryant, but I respect the back to back titles, but they just got swept, and sent Phil Jackson home a loser. Jordan never let Phil lose, only Kobe did.
KQH8 9 months ago
@KQH8 I never said that Kobe didnt' pattern his game after jordan, who wouldn't want to, especially if you played the same position, but just as kobe patterned his game after jordan, jordan was heavily influenced by the likes of david thompson and julius erving, who was influenced by elgin baylor....but eventually, in order to play this game, you have to have your own game....and KOBE has proven w/out a shadow of a doubt that he's one of the top 5 greatest players in the history of this game.

@KQH8 JORDAN is the greatest ever...but my boy KOBE is not an imitation....now KENDALL GILL was an imitation, had the look, mannerisms, walk that jordan had but lacked the game..KOBE had amazing skill set, the greatest skill set the game has every seen for anyone coming straight out of high school...you ain't an imitator when you have 5 rings...even JORDAN said himself that KOBE was a more advanced basketball player at 19 than he was at the same age.....KOBE, one of the top 5 greatest ever
scorpionJB 9 months ago
@scorpionJB I will give your boy Kobe some credit for coming out of highschool and maturing the way that he did, but he owes his entire game to Jordan, and anyone with a I.Q. level above room temperature can see that. He has the exact same mannerisms, finger waving, hell he even sticks his tongue out. But unlike Jordan, Kobe just got swept by the Mavericks, Jordan never got swept trying to defend the championship, Jordan never got swept at all, only your boy Kobe did. He sent Phil out a loser.
KQH8 9 months ago
@KQH8 yeah, we got swept, but it don't take away the back to back titles we just won, what everyone else is trying to get.....KOBE's 32, still has time to win yet another championship....my thing is, I've always viewed jordan as the best ever when he deserved that distinction...what makes kobe great, what defines his greatness is that he has the guts to try and surpass jordan that's the root of the hate....not only that, we just went to 3 straight finals, can't sneeze at that w/a straight face
scorpionJB 9 months ago
@KQH8 people will say KOBE didn't win w/out SHAQ, that's such a crazy argument considering the fact that it takes a team to win it anyway....KOBE'S game wasn't dependant on SHAQ, his game has been the same since SHAQ left the lakers.....when the bulls lost to the magic in 1995 playoffs, I said at that moment, if they ever got dennis rodman, they would win 70, what happened that summer, they signed RODMAN, and commenced to winning 72 games...RODMAN set the stage for the 2nd 3 peat to be possible

@scorpionJB KOBE IS THE MOST OVERRATED PLAYER IN THE HISTORY OF THE GAME. THE NBA HAD TO CREATE A "JORDAN PERSONA" IN HIM TO FOOL EVERYONE THAT THE GAME IS STILL THE SAME AFTER MJ LEFT. REMEMBER, DR.J PASSED THE TORCHED TO MAGIC AND BIRD, EVENTUALLY FROM MAGIC TO JORDAN... MJ NEVER PASSED IT TO ANY RIGHTFULL SUCCESSOR. WHY? BECAUSE THERE WAS NONE! THE GREATNESS OF KOBE IS A MYTH CREATED BY THE NBA... HOW CAN HE BE ALONGSIDE MJ IF HE'S NOT EVEN THE GREATEST LAKER? END OF STORY...

@wornoutshoes11 man, I'm so tired of hearing that crazy ass point of view...this dude been playing basketball for 15 years, and has 5 rings, that's such a stupid comment, and before you or anyone else say that KOBE won 3 w/SHAQ, MAGIC won ALL 5 of his rings w/KAREEM and WORTHY, nobody wraps their mind around that..MAGIC never won a championship w/out either one of those guys and both are the greatest 50 ever w/KAREEM being the best center ever...that don't diminish MAGIC'S game,

@scorpionJB how old are u boy? do u really wanna know why people dont talk about magic's rings while having kareem and worthy on his team compared to kobe? let me educate u boy... magic's laker team is a legit team! magic, worthy, cooper, green were "DRAFTED" by the lakers while scott was aquired thru draft day. kareem played for 14 years for the lakers. rambis played his entire career as a laker... IN SHORT... THE CORE OF THE TEAM WAS INTACT TILL IT DIED A NATURAL DEATH MAKING IT A LEGIT TEAM.

@wornoutshoes11 first of all, I ain't no boy so check yourself, second of all, I'm a grown man who watched the showtime lakers during 80's when I was a teenager, so the info you shelling out, I already know 10 fold....it doesn't matter if these players were drafted or traded, or signed by free agency...as far as KAREEM, he did NOT play his entire career in LA, he was "TRADED" 2 years before MAGIC got there, plus they had NORM NIXON, JAMAAL WILKES, and MICHAEL COOPER before MAGIC got there

@wornoutshoes11 that was stupid what you just said......
scorpionJB 8 months ago
@wornoutshoes11 2nd of all, the championships the LAKERS won in 85, 87, and 88 were realized because of "key" acquisitions, such as signing BOB MCADOO, bringing in MYCHAL THOMPSON during the 86-87 when they went 65-17, those acquisitions were just as important as the core unit itself because LA made those acquisitions to surpass BOSTON when LA didn't win the title the years the celtics did...so it wasn't all just MAGIC...
scorpionJB 8 months ago
@wornoutshoes11 MAGIC had more "help" than KOBE did, MAGIC had BOB MCADOO (one of the greatest scorers of all time) coming off the bench as a 6th man, BYRON SCOTT 18-20 ppg scorer...yes, the 80's were teh best era of all time in the nba, even better than the 90's because of all the expansion took place, but I ain't gone piss on today's generation of players just to prove that was fact...
scorpionJB 8 months ago
@scorpionJB what about kobe's lakers?? well they need to get shaq out of orlando. and still they cant win shit, so they hired the entire coaching staff of the champion bulls including harper thus making use of the triangle offense. the point is...the lakers had become desperate to win a championship during kobe's era. after kobe bitch slapped shaq out of L.A. the desperation never ended and they just kept surrounding kobe with good players that does the job for him while he takes all the credit.
wornoutshoes11 8 months ago
@wornoutshoes11 this is another lackluster comment because your'e twisting the reality of the situation....bringing the chicago bull coaching staff, hiring phil jackson because of KOBE?...that's flawed, if anything, that should be said they did all that for SHAQ since he was the focal point of the team prior to the LAKERS winning the 2000 championship......the reason the lakers didn't win the title up until that point is the same reason the bulls failed to prior to 1991, lack of team maturity.
scorpionJB 8 months ago
@wornoutshoes11 why the hell do you think teams hired successful coaches for in the first place?....to make their team better....why did the chicago bulls hire tom tibadeau for?...because he's a better coach than vinny del negro.....so I don't even know why you brought that up to begin with.....SHAQ was in the league 4 years earlier than KOBE was to the argument, since you brought it up, is that the LAKER made all those moves for "SHAQ"...that's who lackluster this argument is...
scorpionJB 8 months ago
@wornoutshoes11 BIRD had allot of fuckin help too...he played w/the greatest frontcourt in the history of this game...that frontcourt propelled the BOSTON CELTICS to four straight appearance in the finals...KEVIN MCHALE, the best post moves of all time, yes, best post moves, that's where HAKEEM OLAJUWON patterned his moves after...ROBERT PARISH, a staple at center...DANNY AINGE, one of the premier shooting guards in the game period..DENNIS JOHNSON...one of the greatest defensive guards ever
scorpionJB 8 months ago
@wornoutshoes11 so don't give me this crap and dare say them cats did it by themselves because they didn't...were they the best on the team throughout the course of a season, yes, but KAREEM nba final mvp in 85, WORTHY nba final mvp in 1988, by the time the lakers repeated in 1988, byron scott was the leading scorer on the team....

@scorpionJB magic's lakers played "team" basketball thats how they won their 5 rings. and what about kobe??... he plays hoops for himself alone and the rest of the team's responsibility is to bail him out of his shit hole! and guess what... if they win he takes all the credit but if they lose... he puts his finger to someone else! how the hell would u respect that!!! KOBE= MOST OVERRATED PLAYER EVER TO PLAY THE GAME! that will be his legacy when he retires... END OF STORY!
wornoutshoes11 8 months ago
@KQH8 the main reason I consider KOBE in the conversation, not just because of his skill set....but because of what JORDAN himself said back in 1998...JORDAN said "yeah, kobe is a more advanced basketball player at 19 than I was at the same age"...JORDAN said that out of his own mouth, he never said that about anyone else before or since..not lebron, not any of the "next jordans" back in the day, only KOBE. the truth don't lie man..KOBE right now, one of the top 5 greatest ever to play this game

People don't realize how tough to beat those Detroit teams were. Not only were they physical, but they wore teams down with their depth. They had an 9 player rotation of Isiah Thomas, Bill Laimbeer, Joe Dumars, Vinnie Johnson, Dennis Rodman, Rick Mahorn, John Salley, Adrian Dantley (traded eventually for Mark Aguirre), and James Edwards. Once the Bulls got past them, nobody really challenged them in that way ever again. That's why they won 6 championships.

Also, around 4:10 Rodman and MJ get into it -- then when MJ is on his way to the free throw line Rodman gives him a pat on the rear and MJ then does the same to Rodman -- and Marv Albert says "Jordan just gave Rodman a pat on the rear, as if to say let's forget about it." Those were abrasive slaps, as if to say "alright lets go to war" -- it wasn't a symbol of peace. I think the refs and announcers were a little out of touch with some of the nuances going on between these teams...

LeBron wants to be the greatest of all time, he wants to be a global icon, he wants to be the King, yet he has shown no evidence that he wants to put in the work to really achieve those things. Instead of spending this offseason working on developing a low post game, or a midrange offense, he spent his time developing his media machine. He knows the key to being an all-time great is winning titles, but he thinks there is a shortcut to getting there.

You know how they used to say that Dennis was a master of getting into people's head mentally? I disagree. I think MJ was the master of that. Look at the play 3:34 . Dennis had fouled MJ in the previous baskets. on that play MJ blows by Dennis and puts it in the hoop and comes back telling him all about it. On defense, Dennis already lost his mind and is looking for physical contact with MJ and pushes him and gets in his face. MJ doesn't back down either..

Detroit had no chance in this series; they knew it was over prior to it starting. This series was actually the worse of the previous 3 (1988-1990). Detroit never showed up. Take a look at the 1990 series vs. this series and pay attention to how Detroit played. They were hungrier the year before and here they are so passive. It's like they never wanted to play.

You could see it in the Pistons faces: They knew they werent going to win this series. They were still a great team that year and would have 3-peated except the Bulls were there now.
Plus Rick Mahorn was stolen from them by Minnesota before the season. Only to be traded not back to Detroit but to the 76ers. That definitely had an effect on that team psychologically.

What I liked about this series was that the winner played the Lakers. Either way (Bulls-Lakers or Pistons-Lakers) would have been fun to watch.

You said it thunderstruck. The Chicago dynasty and surrounding teams were the greatest to ever compete. I'm so tired of hearing about Kobe and Lebron. They and their teams would literally be physically beaten to tears by any of these players.

I agree. those born yesterdays. think of the Bulls in the 2nd 3 peat run. They think the Jordan was great because of great support. True, but they lived up to expectations I mean, 72-10. 69-13, 60-22(w/o Pippen for half of the season). Anyways, Point is that the first 3 peat run, there were only two all stars for the Bulls: Jordan and Pippen. Kobe always have a talented center to play with.

Exactly. Just look at the overnight improvement in team dynamics everytime KB has gotten a talented center to play with.

@eadymike I agree completely. I think that basketball isn't the only sport where the average skill level dropped. I think its sad that its all about the money now, where before it seemed like it was more for the love of the game.
