[ItsLebronsHairline]

Those the Space Jam XI's not low tops. @jaboo82681

[waterjordan2]

JOrdan's career and life is too story book perfect to be true. Early Failures in life and than ability to overcome those failures to become great.

[tkcwu]

@waterjordan2 its his WILL power that separates him.

[jaboo82681]

Low Top XI's baby!!!!

[MrRamto13]

there's no I in team!!!!!!!

[wornoutshoes11]

the nba and the players of today are over hyped and speaks a lot for themselves with nothing to show for while the nba of old never had to pretend they were great coz the teams and individual talents spoke for itself. the nba lost its glamour when the last true dynasty broke up and the league as we know it is dead!

[KQH8]

This was real NBA basketball, todays league falls way short. Desperate Houswives has higher ratings than todays league, now thats pitiful.

[MrFrsh2010]

the best starting 5 orlando magic ever had

[AvEryBadApPLe]

The Bulls made spectacular plays on both ends of the court.

[petergeczy]

GREATEST TIMES OF THE NBA

[RAV52]

Jordan and the rest of be Bulls simply would not allow Orlando to become a dynasty and Shaq would have to wait until MJ's coach came to LA before he could hoist the hardware...Penny was amazing back then though...Blue Chips!!!

[blessing67]

man the arena's were loud back then....... sometimes i be thinking the arena's are dead even when they are loud

[bullzman23]

I love how Rodman celebrates after everything he does. Wish he was still playing.

[songeet]

Watch the play Pippen makes at 2:43. Gets a block, pokes the ball away from Penny and then contests the shot. Amazing defender!

[wagutoxD]

Man, how I miss those times... REAL basketball!!!

[bigben1986]

it's unreal how back then they were saying how old jordan is. meanwhile they took the world by storm and jordan was at his strongest. ever!!!!!!!!!

[kdoggjr]

I don't care what dumb analyst say, this Bulls team was the best ever and they would be owning Boston or LA in da finals.

[magicman1215]

is that matty goukas I hear??

[Snoopydude13]

Phil screaming at Tony Kukoc. If I saw Rodman behind Shaq giving away at least 6" and 75 lbs. I'd go double team too, even if I'm 9" shorter than Kukoc:)

[jayrskie05]

all i could say is if this team (chicago) could play the generations of today...uhhmmm uhhmmm no 1 would beat them...not on this line up......w/ great defense + great offense = GODLIKE.....

[priest4486]

these were the teams of the 90s. thanks for posting this video

[uberathlete]

Best offensive player in the league is teammates with the best defensive player of the league. But best offensive player in the league is also arguably the best defensive player in the league. Not fair lol.

[theloniouskey]

2:43

Sit back down, Darrell Armstrong. lol

[tambol1978]

WHAT A GAME !!!

[Paragon231]

8:57

Orlando Magic: Have not scored in last 5:00

OUCH!!!!!

[kohan34]

Nick looked like he went to sleep after the foul lol 9:03

[thomasinc]

39 seconds jordan is wide open. wow

[schism206]

1:12 - The reason why Jordan was the best :) Steal, NASTY ball fake, jump shot and swish. Defense, fundamentals, offense, and some showmanship all in one.

[shiziest]

rodman with the mid range shot

[jayskeeos]

severe weather update.. pippen brings the rain!!

[Ninety2q]

all the players say, Pippen aint easy

[TheKingOfRuckus]

"Severe Weather Update" for both Pippen and Jordan.

[tigerwoods232000]

The 90's Bulls were such a great and disciplined team. They would kill the Lakers of today. Rodman would make Gasol wish he was still in Spain.

[schism206]

the bulls would rape the lakers of today 1000x over.

[Loomes23]

you do not see games like that anymore - thats a fact....

[cirexlab]

I remember those PlayOffs. Orlando was a hot team

[1234567890dc3]

1:14 nice play by jordan

[venitian23]

shaq runs slow but has lots of power

[frusionnn]

venitian23: yeah, that's why he's argueably the most dominant center ever in the NBA =]

[moose030406]

This Orlando team was way better then the 2000 to 02 lakers but James is the next Jordan and Howard is the next Shaq

[Nebel64]

So the Sonics, who pushed the Bulls to six games in the finals must have been one of the greatest teams of all time?

[TheRatedIX7]

The Pacer team who pushed to Bulls to 7 games in the 98 ECF were better than the 2000 squad who faced the Lakers in the 2000 Finals.

[Nebel64]

I agree, and I was rooting for that Pacers team hard

I dont think during the entire six title run by the Bulls were they so threatend as in 98 by the Pacers

[TheRatedIX7]

That was a good squad too. But they were facing the G.O.A.T.

[PorterforMVP55]

good vidd

[itb1023]

my top two favorite teams of all time.

[Kito343]

No way... I agree 1000% with u eadymike... LeBron aint got no shit on MJ, Im sick of all the media saying how great he is and drawing comparison to all past legends who had a much harder time back then, and the NBA is being played way too sissylike, which benefits crybabies like lebron and kobe.

[Ltron9]

I agree! MJ had to get his ass whipped by Oakley and Laimbeer. The NBA back then was HARD!!! MJ battled all of that beating and still led his team to 6 rings! NO ONE has MJ's swagger, his career was nothin short of storybook, a TRUE legend who's influence was and will always be felt...Great Comment!

[francoisgrenier]

@Kito343 its been 6-7 years now that lebron is playing. no ring and he got traded from a team who beleive in him.

[eadymike]

No bullshit. Every comment I've read is 100% correct. No team these days would stand a chance against the Bulls dynasty. People need to get over Kobe and Lebron. I can't believe Lebron even has the gall to wear the number 23. Pathetic.

[Ltron9]

Lebron is the Basketball God's apology for MJ beating their team all the time. With that said, Lebron is NO Where NEAR MJ! I agree with you!!

[Nebel64]

right, not just the Bulls either...the Sonics were an explosive team that played crazy lock down defense, this Magic team, the Pacers, Rockets, etc etc etc etc!!!

[googleyueroy]

true

those guys said kobe cant win except shaq

what did shaq achieve before he met kobe?

retard

bulls rules

[flopdanuts23]

I think this magic team is comparible to the lakers of 2000-2002 and a lot of the teams today.

This just shows you how bad the bulls would have beaten these teams today.

[iiaea]

This team was just unbelievable. We don't get to see teams play at such a high level like the bulls these days...too much and1mix tapes haha. You have to admit it, more of them skipping college so they don't develop good fundamentals, basketball would be a lot better if you had to go to college for 4 years.

[kutap07]

the best team ever,teamwork

[JohnMUTDMazzawi]

how can you score agains this lineup: Jordan, Pippen, Rodman, Longly, Harper?? it's impossibe, the magic can't be blamed

[Frank87]

Best defensive team ever I think.

[tdvu]

i recall kids my age at the time (12) wearing shaq and penny jerseys. they weren't wearing them because they were winners obviously, getting swept by houston in the 95 finals and then by the bulls in the 96 ECF...

[Upgrayedd2Ds]

dude yeah I remember that too. It was the "cool" thing to do back then at my school. I was only 12 when this happened as well. Most of my friends at school were cheering for the Magic (even though this was in IL). I was sticking with the Bulls. Forget the Magic. I was so happy when the Bulls swept them. Jordan > Shaq & Penny.

[tdvu]

I guess those kids/posers were thinking a new dynasty was coming in the form of the magic...that was until jordan came back!

[mymanjay]

That was a sad 4th quarter that they had and Shaq and Penny knew that. The defense that the Bulls had was too much I mean Pippen, Jordan and Rodman are 3 of the best ever in the game. That is hard to beat man when you have a great inside outside defense like because when they are able to trap all the corners and both sides of the floor there is no offensive rhythm. That is what the Bulls had a inside-outside defensive attack.

[brian05fubu]

nba was the best sport to watch

[feelingpogi]

ow, what a fake!!!

[DJSK7shot]

during the dynasty years, most people forget that Pippen was pretty much like another Jordan most of the time. That's how good Pippen was! It's not like Michael Jordan was waaaaaay better than Scottie Pippen. Pippen was a DAMN amazing player. Almost as good as Michael.

[kOrOne79]

I love Pippen, but let's not forget his disappearing acts during several playoff series.

Pippen was a way more complete player on the second 3-peat team.

[lakeshow499]

i think what you mean is he sometimes disappeared offensively... scoring around 10 points as opposed to his usually 18-20... but he has ALWAYS been an incredible ALL AROUND PLAYER... the guy stuffed the staff sheet all the way down to leading the league in steals several times... you could argue he was the best ALL AROUND player in the league during the Bulls dynasty era...

[kOrOne79]

What I meant was that Pippen sometimes lacked the cojones when the opposing team defended him a bit rougher than usual, he was easier to intimidade on the first 3-peat team. The Knicks for example did an impressive job on him in 1992. Also, Pippen was never really clutch when you think about it. At the end of games when it mattered the most, the formula was simply 'get the ball to Michael' and that was it. Jordan was a born leader and non-replaceable, he handled the pressure and delivered.

[dj021680]

I think ppl believe Scottie disappeared bc his point output wasnt as high as Mike's but he stepped in diffent ways and in a lot of big playoff series. 91 vs. Pistons, 91 Finals vs Lakers, 93 ECF vs. Knicks, 97 & 98 Finals vs. Jazz. He stepped up in different ways. He alway guarded the best player and would shut them down. He also ran the triangle. I think Scottie was bball genius. IMHO..

[kOrOne79]

It's a myth that Scottie always defended the opponents' superstar. Watch the '91 finals again, Jordan defended Magic at least as often as Scottie did, if not more. When Jordan was in foul trouble, Scottie jumped in because they needed MJ at the end of games. That's pretty much the story.

[kOrOne79]

Jordan guarded Isiah, Joe D, Reggie, Starks, Drexler, Richmond, Penny, Hill, Harper, Ehlo, etc. All great offensive players on their own. Jordan wanted those matchups so he could shut them down, he took pride in his defense.

[asterner]

Pippen didnt need to score to beat a team.. Alot of people dont realise Pippen Ran the offense,Rebounded,Sick assists,set up so many open shots by posting near the key and passing to three or slashing/dishing, Sick D .first 3 Peat was 91-93 ,Pippen entered the league in 88.. thats only 5 years!! He was still learning the game Physically and Mentally.Come 2nd 3-Peat. I think Pippen shoulda been Finals MVP 98 &Jordan knew as well.. was either 97 or 98 When Jordan SAid Pippen would get the MVP Car

[kOrOne79]

I can't believe I'm doing this, oh well.

Pippen is easily on of my favourite players ever and I more than willing to give credit where credit is due. But Pippen was and will never be near Jordan's status. He was probably the best second banana ever, but even that is debatable. In 1999 "Ultimate Sports" ranked the Top 50 players of all time and Pippen was placed at #29. Here is what they wrote at that time:

[kOrOne79]

"The most versatile forward since John Havlicek --- and of late a consistent whiner --- Scottie Pippen possesses a singular combination of skills at the small forward position. While Havlicek was the better perimeter shooter, Pippen is a great open floor player and probably the greatest defensive forward of all-time, being honored six times with First-Team Defense awards."

No one but fanboys view Pippen in the same realm as Jordan.

[kOrOne79]

By the way, Jordan gave his car to Pippen in 1997 and gracefully said they were both MVP's of that finals series. You know, the series where Jordan hit a game winner in G1, dominated G2 (almost a triple d with 38pts, 13rbs and 9ass), won G5 almost by himself (with the flu) and dished out the game-deciding assist to Kerr in G6. That series.

Pip was the front runner for Finals MVP a year later till Game 5 which the Bulls lost. Then came Game 6 and we all know what happened there.

[kOrOne79]

They could've given the award to Rodman in 1996, but other than that there was no doubt who should be the Finals MVP for the Bulls.

[jeanrollan]

@kOrOne79 I agree. Rodman was the MVP of that series against the Sonics.

[chrismzac]

@jeanrollan huh, well, there's no way the bulls win that series without mj, so hard to say that... without rodman, an above average pf- bulls still had a chance... becuz of MJ...

[smoke117]

Uh...no matter what Pippen did scoring wise, he was the best defensive perimeter player of all time, he was the teams PG. He was invaluable to the team. He is easily one of the 30 greatest players to ever play this game when taken as a whole, and it was PIPPEN who had a terrific 93 series vs the Knicks when Jordan was having a terrible series.

[AgentCirrus]

i still say to this day that MJ and Pip's defense is still underrated. its more than just great 1 on 1 defense, its steals, blocks, and having that defensive mind set. MJ was on the All-Defensive Team 9 times, Pip 10 times, why because they had the total defensive package. nowadays those kind of stats you dont see anymore

[KendrickJobe1]

YES, TOTAL DEFENSIVE PACKAGE !

Mike and Pip could not only guard multiple positions but they were exceptional team defenders and rebounders. Defending involves more than staying between your opponent and the basket.

[fedefertil777]

the only "dificult to watch" in this video is the first player at 0:00,

please welcome Jon Koncak,one of the worst players i ever seen...

real nba!,nice video!

[Julia405]

2nd only to jack haley the highest paid cheerleader

[LeeDiddy990]

The Bulls have to be considered the best defensive team to ever win a championship. no disrespect to the badboys but the bulls always played a suffocating defense and they never once took a play off.

[ab40]

at 1.17 was just nasty that fake just works everytime if you can palm a ball try it:D

[bigmrbrew]

This is awesome....even though im a magic fan, still really cool to see the real nba.

[isaiahb2000]

MJ took these type of shooting days personal, by making a statement the very next game (45pts 16/23 fg%)

[scir91]

NBA on NBC theme!

[fabiop82]

can someone give me the four game series in dvd?

how many dollars?

[meetyuju]

Scottie Pippen. What a player.

Please keep up uploading. Thanks

[ProGalaxy]

The move at 1:28 my god we only wish we could,,Its moves like that which makes me say Kobe or Lebron will never be mike and mike did this on a regular basis.

[ForEmily23]

hey cool...I have this game, too...nice post

[alaskanmarine1]

Thanks for the post, always apprecitate them. Will you put up game 4, I know hoops has it, but maybe there's more stuff that could be shown, that's not in his.

[kOrOne79]

Yes, I'm working on it. And it certainly will differ from Hoops edit, around eleven minutes I guess.

[milesd6]

thanks, great video
