Bulls vs. Lakers - 1996 (72-10 season)

[ClaymoreThe]

2:11 ...Mike Miller got nothing on this guy

[showstoppa01]

Na this is 95-96 season magic didnt play n 96-97..n this da stretch where bulls won 18 straight

[drewbear1096]

I Think this is the 1996-97 NBA Season like the video game NBA Live 97 For the PlayStaiton from October 31st 1996 and it's Developed by EA Sports.

[aaaaaagg2a]

@drewbear1096

This is the 1995-1996 season because 2Pac was at this game. 2Pac wasn't alive during the 1996-1997 NBA season.

[delfra70]

Man was that Bulls team was special, 41-3 after this game at that point, they just absolutely ran roughshod through the NBA that entire season, unbelievable. I remember watching that game on TNT on a friday night, with Magic returning to face MJ,Pip,Worm and the Bulls, it was absolutely electric. Magic paying homage to the Bulls during that interview saying how the Bulls squad reminded him of the 80's Celtics and his Showtime Lakers squad, showing nothing but class and respect man.

[moneyman237952]

damn this bulls team is the greatest of all time

[Koonap2]

Lil Penny!!

[ironman3920]

God I wish the NBA was still like this!

[Luigidude64]

Kobe wasnt with the lakers.becuz vlade is there

[theclawism]

@Luigidude64 In fact, Kobe didn't enter the league until a year later.

[skacaface59]

They made it look so easy..and really had 3 HOFers and a bunch of guys who would never be caught dead wearing an All-Star uniform...

[daimon7]

The current Miami Heat wish they had this type of chemistry.

[aaaaaagg2a]

2Pac was at this game.

[moneyman237952]

@aaaaaagg2a lol i was looking for him in the crowd. Didn't him and Suge have courtside seats?

[aaaaaagg2a]

@moneyman237952

I think 2Pac was sitting somewhere behind the basketball goal.

[moneyman237952]

@aaaaaagg2a can you see him in this vid?

[aaaaaagg2a]

@moneyman237952

I can't see him in this video but i seen a picture of him at this game and it looked like he was sitting in the seats behind the basketball goal. There is also a video right here on Youtube of 2Pac leaving after this game. If you wanna see that video just type in "2pac at lakers game".

[ro42023]

did Lil Penny say i had to go outside and do tai chi to calm the fuck down at 4:53?

[rob23molina]

Da Bulls. Simply the greatest team ever.

[mijheldrummer]

rodman vs magic.. best part!!!! go bulls!!!!

[showstoppa01]

PiPPen > Lebron

[m1k3y0011]

how old is magic johnson on this game...

[jlroberts2006]

AWESOME JORDAN!!!

[Zoxxxon]

Pippeeeeeeeen!

[Legendofzoom]

Lakers fan here ..but the 96 Lakers with Magic >van exel....eddie Jones.......weren't playing defense ....they deserve to get beat by one of the best teams ever.........wish this bulls team played the 86,88, 2000 or 2001 Lakers teams.......too many watered down teams that year.....even though rockets were defending champs, they got beat by a supersonic team w/out any center

[showstoppa01]

@Legendofzoom

Ya ok like the teams of 2000 n 2001 werent watered down. Plzz Bulls would of skooled kobe n Shaq. its all about defense. .Da only hot teams those years were lakers n Blazers n Kings..So dont talk about watered down 95-96 season.. u can say it would be very different in da 86 and 88 season

[momosso]

scottie you're the best

[ruru80]

magic posting up rodman....sweet matchup...

[ta4life27]

u have too deal with mj or pippen defense determernation

[DaSkillet713]

"Good defense by Ceballos" Never thought I'd hear those words, though it was Opie Ainge.

[dzaf07]

What's with Bill Wennington's nut-huggers?

[showstoppa01]

you gotta love da Bulls playing on da road.

[Synthysizer]

sinbad would definitely need an introduction now

[jenruchito76]

magic johnson is the Best Laker ever ,  kobe bryant never will be before magic

[leia072306]

@jenruchito76 I hope you are right I dont want kobe to win more titles I hope lebron stops him!  JORDAN THE GOAT!!! MAGIC GOAT IN THE POINT GUARD POSTION!

[bennyhill1900]

AT 6;46 PIPPEN DOUBLE BUT YOU CANT CALL IT HE'S TO GOOD.

[teddet87]

is that chris rock voice of little penny ?

[DeathFr0mAfar]

This is like the 4th game I've watched from the '96 season where Pip scored at least 30 points in 3 qtrs and then sat down in the 4th for garbage time. The Bulls really put the daggers in quick.

[kaliaelizabeth]

@1:06 Eddie Jones eats his shit.. lol... MJ

[TheWorldKing21]

One of the Most memorable game...

The Legends come back....

[80s90sRealBasketball]

you got to love magic, he's such a frikkin CLASS ACT!!! he isn't afraid to give other great players and teams their props!! need more like him!!

[collin711311]

as much as i hated danny ainge as a player, i liked him as a color analyst.

[shanto719]

this has to be the best team ever

[weward]

the penny hardaway comerxal stole the coverage.LoL

[bballmemories]

Eddie Jones started this game hot, with a couple of spectacular dunks.

[willylopez1]

Cracking vid, cheers for posting. Nostalgia, The Great Western Forum pisses all over the Staples Centre

[Rasuke11]

scottie pippen in his prime is just to much for 90 % of the greats.

[GoingOn9Lives]

Amen glorious bastard. For lebron to even be compared with great SF such as Bird and Pippen he needs to work on his basketball IQ. I find this game a little fitting in the revenge department because all those years MJ played against Birds/Magics stacked team for the first time in Magics career he had to go up against something like that. being a lone man is tough ask 88 MJ and Lebron now.

[OneGloriousBastard]

And 1:21 is Dennis just being Dennis. He welcomes Magic back in his own way lol. And the cool thing about that is Magic completely understands and doesn't get upset about it. Dennis respects that and gives Magic a little tap @ 1:32.

When Rodman was doing the same stuff to guys like Alonzo Mourning and Karl Malone back in the day they were losing their composure

[collin711311]

amen brother. was just about to comment the same thing.

[OneGloriousBastard]

Pippen put on the full display of talents in this game. The outside shot, the post game, the spectacular moves. When his game was on he was a beautiful player to watch. The post move at 1:39 is so smooth it's ridiculous. The headfakes, the footwork. This is the kind of shit Lebron needs to be watching and developing.

[LeBronIsTheRealKing]

lmao at penny commercial

[diehardBULLSfan]

Great video. It sounded like Da Bulls were the home team.

[jaboo82681]

My goodness when Pippen is on his game he's almost just as dangerous as Michael!!!!

[andyk6925]

LMAO is LIL PENNY Chris Rock?

[ace11rothstein]

Yes, you are correct sir.

[bernardobond]

yo creo que magic no debio de a ver jugado contra los bulls pese a que los bulls ese ano cortaban a cualquiera por que ese ano era dificil de ganarles y con grandes estrellas como rodman, pippen y jordan entre otras estrellas de el equipo yo fuera magic lo pensaria dos veces antes de haber sido ridiculisado en la cancha una super estrella como el lo fue, error no debio regresar tras 4 anos de inatividad que tubo en la NBA,

[Blasterbreakguy]

Batman and Robin at their best.  Nuff said!

[diawwade23]

Anyone noticed the Weird thing At 7:26 ? Pippen wants to HighFive Harper, but Harper give him nothing and look angry and Pippen took it pretty badly.

It Seems that the road to 70 wins was not without some lockroom issues.

[TripleThreatUS]

Um... Harper high fives him with his right hand.

[ace11rothstein]

Sinbad needs no introduction????

[andyk6925]

LMFAO

hahahahha

[jaboo82681]

well back then yeah...

[ace11rothstein]

Really, even back then?

[jaboo82681]

Oh yes especially back then!!

[ace11rothstein]

Does lil'Penny need an introduction? LOL

[ace11rothstein]

What I loved was the Rodman guarding Magic bit. Rodman was just asking if Magic could donate some HIV!

[kareem87said5]

Bulls have always had problems with LA Lakers during that period.I remember I watched Lakers-Bulls game,I think it was 1998,Lakers were very dominant and Bulls had no key for their offensive style.

[jaboo82681]

I wouldn't say that had trouble with them since 87 regular season they are 12-12 against each other and in the 91 Finals Bulls won the title. I would say L.A. always had trouble matching up with Chicago because Scottie Pippen would kill the Lakers whenever he played against him...

[ksmall82]

Magic has the best quotes.

[Bigturns33]

Jordan, Pippen, Rodman. SHould be in the hall right now just put them in its just sillyness

[barny325]

best 1st half i´ve ever seen in a basketball game!

[AgentCirrus]

dang the game was over in the 3rd, Pip with 30, Worm with 21 rebs lol

[Bigturns33]

Ya Michael leaving those years really develop pippen into a complete player i mean he was but even more so. Phil put him in the post where he use to put michael and he developed that lil jump hook and with his length he was unstopable down there. With Michael back, he went out there and developt that 3 pointer they really were unstopable.

[AgentCirrus]

lol Sinbad looks like the late Brian Williams who played for the Bulls in 97

RIP Brian Williams, later changed to Bison Dele

[AzahG2007]

and damn scottie was hot that night :D one of the smartest players i know. was that chris rock's voice in hardayway'S nike ad?

[chipdouglas03]

chris rock did lil penny's voice

[AzahG2007]

thx for sharing. great fun to watch these games again :) they were unstoppabulls that season way too many options...also the bench was great kukoc, kerr etc. + the greatest off all time :D

[najanator]

great game... bulls steamrolled thru everyone that season... loved how u included that penny commercial!
