penny was a heck of a player back in his prime. sort of a combo magic/michael like bron only not as athletic or big. if penny hadn't gotten injured would he have been better than kobe (i.e. better shot selection not as much of a jacker/more of a playmaker=more efficient)? i guess we'll never know. it's too bad this series didn't go longer to watch a prime penny/shaq go at da bulls.
@g0ldbuG had the bulls been champions the previous year i don't know if they would've won as many games (72) w/ teams all giving them their best shot every night. jordan had rest too coming off his retirement and early exit from the playoffs the year before to the same team and he was not to be denied.
@g0ldbuG why didn't those old great celtics/lakers teams win 70+? if 60s celtics can win 8 championships in a row yet they can't win 70? what gives? they would've had sheer intimidation factor on their side by winning so many titles, too.
In 1995 Nick Anderson told to everybody that the 23 was better than the 45... He was right the 23 swept him in 1996. Jordan 6 NBA CHAMPIONSHIPS, Anderson 0....
I would like to save Jordan's DNA and clone him as his younger self... THAT would be tight with today's HD cameras and all... WHOO! Subscribe! :) He would do different moves too with different people guarding him and different situations on the court!
I figured after the Orlando Magic eliminated the Chicago Bulls from the NBA Playoffs in the previous season that Michael Jordan would show the league no mercy this year. I wasn't surprised with the Bulls run 1996-98. The Magic had to see this coming, Michael Jordan would personally POUND points through the baskets on teams, then when you try to collapse on him defensively, he finds the open man immediately. That dreaded Fade-away jumpshot was unblockable because he would fade back SO FAR, MJ#1.
The 1995-96 Magic were the winningest team in franchise history with 60 victories, but MJ & the Bulls made those 60 wins irrelevant, just like the 64 wins Seattle had. This would be Shaq's final game in Orlando, few weeks later he signed with the L.A. Lakers, after the Hornets traded Kobe Bryant for Vlade Divac. That would lead to the Shaq and Kobe show, but Shaq & Co. were swept by Utah in '97 & '98 and San Antonio in '99. Then Phil Jackson came along, and Shaq would be finally get his rings!
@kcthatsawinner Exactly. This series might have had the most impact on the future of the NBA than any other series in recent history. If Orlando wins this series then they win the title - Seattle was good but not good enough. There's no way Shaq leaves a team that just won it all and has a chance to win a few more. Even if they still lost but made it a competitive 6-7 game series I think Shaq thinks twice about leaving. Instead he gets embarrassed and flees to LA, they trade Vlade for Kobe...
@gf4670 Shaq wanted to stay but the Magics didn't want to give him "a lot of money", so he choose the Lakers... Result he won 4 titles and the Magics never since he left... Very bad Management !
I remember this era, when the magic the hottest kids on the block, Shaq and penny. But like every other pretender, Jordan made them come back to earth.
Who was the coach who stated that the Orlando would beat the Bulls in this series. There was talk about the 1996 Bulls being one the best teams in history. A former coach (either Vancouver or Toronto), scoffed, "Best team in history?? They're not even the best team in the league. Orlando is the best team in the league. When they get down to the conference finals, who's gonna guard Penny, who's gonna guard Shaq." Well seems like the Bulls did a pretty good job. I wish I knew the coach's name.
It was a Toronto coach since they beat the Bulls once during this season. Brendan Malone was a coach for three of the Bulls rivals, the Pacers, Knicks and Pistons prior to his one year tenure as Raptors coach.
He was eventually replaced by Darrell Walker, a Chicago native that shared 1st team rookie honors with MJ and a one-time Bull with whom he won a title with in 93. I don't think he trashed his hometown team since he was the 96-97 coach for Toronto.
That description is so sick because it's true...Despite what the numbers show, anyone who had seen Jordan's play previous to his retirement knew that he wasn't himself in 1995, especially during the playoffs. That drove him to regain his powers-- Kind of like when Superman turned himself into a mortal so that he could be with Lois Lane, but then Zod and his minions attacked Earth. MJ had to regain his powers. It began by switching back to the #23. It ended by winning a 4th NBA title.
@mistanderson stop exaggerating please...but i will say kobe's % is the worse out of jordan kobe and lebron..mainly because he takes ill advised shots but also in the last 3 years he has injured his fingers and hands one way or another,..
Ooow waaah, i want a plaace too say, get yo booty on the floor toonnight, make my day: pump up the jam: pumpit up:why yo feet r stompin:and the jam is pumpin:look at it got the crowd jumpin: pump it up a lil more:get the party goin on the dance floor:see cause thats where the partys at:and ur fine dinin to bad:ooow wahaah!
Only Jordan could carry a mediocre team (aside from Pippen and Rodman) to three straight titles in the mid to late 90's!!!! Imagine if his teams were stack like the 80's Lakers or both Celtics dynasty teams.
@Xavier1215 Your winning championships with two mediocre players (Bill Wennington @ Luc Longley at Center). One dimensional Steve Kerr (whose a three point threat), wash-up Ron Harper, @ Randy Brown (very mediocre) at guard!!! Not to mention mediocre Simpkins and Caffey @ Forward. The only player with All-star-like talent off the bench was Kukoc!!! (And if you want to count) Parish and Williams in '97!! Believe me, without the triangle offense, these guys wouldn't be in the league!!!
@TheEntertainmentonly i feel you on that..did Parish even play in 97 b/c I thought he was gone by then. Hell he was one lucky guy playing with the 85-86 Celtics (with that 40-1 home record) and part of the Bulls.
@Xavier1215 P.S. The early 90's Bulls (unlike the late 90's teams/ and not counting Jordan or Pippen) were loaded. They had Bill Cartwright (who was a 20/10 guy in NY), Grant (who was among the best 4-men in the game), Paxson (underrated player) Armstrong, Levingston, Williams, and Hansen in 1992. The only mediocre players were Hodges, Perdue, and King. Now those teams were among the best in league history!!!
@TheEntertainmentonly You're an idiot...Cartwright was way past his prime when we got him and there are two reason we did. First was because Oakley was whining and bitching about all the plays being run for MJ early in his career and Cartwright was a more mild mannered I don't need to shoot 20x a game and second was we needed a tall big body to bang against Ewing, Daugherty, Parish and others in the late 80's early 90's who could get fouls and wasn't a huge part of the offense.
@TheEntertainmentonly Levinston and Hansen were very mediocre at best and I believe Hansen was like the 10th or 11th guy coming off the bench pretty much out of the rotation. At the time Hodges was the best 3 point shooter in the NBA at that point and King and Perdue while not living up to the hype were the first guys off the bench to give Cartwright and Grant a breather. So I am not sure what the hell you were watching back then but it wasnt the early 90's Bulls.
LOL! Joe Wolf and Jon Koncak on the same team. All the magic needed that year was to replace a. hardaway, n. anderson, and s. o'neal with marty conlan bobby hurley and john crotty and they would have been the washington generals of the NBA
lol I notice that they changed the paint configuration at the Orlando arena between 95 and 96 (they made the point primarily blue instead of primarily black).
MICHAEL JORDAN AT HIS BEST!!! Everyone kept on talking about how he chocked in the 95 finals. I remember this game very clearly. WHAT AN A## W##ping. One last thing i have to say is that, Once Michael dominated the game there was no stoping him! NOBODY. I have not seen a player DOMINATE the game like he did.
Honestly I think the reason the Bulls Sonics series went to 6 was cuz the Bulls weren't really trying hard in those games. The Bulls I think coulda swept their way right through the playoffs if they went 100% every night.
The Bulls just simply FLATTENED everyone in their way in 1996; this 4-game sweep of Orlando merely provided the exclamation point. Seattle did push Chicago to 6 games in the Finals, but there was no way the Bulls would be denied. Side note...this proved to be Shaq's final game with the Orlando Magic.
i loved that year because they had jordan as a scrub againts haradawy due tot he elimination a yr prior. jordan came back and beat his assssssssssssssss.
Orlando arena was such a great place, its a crying shame that it will be gone in a few years. It certainly wasnt the most luxurious arena, but it had so much character.
These new arenas these days are so bland, they all look the same and they have no atmosphere.

Chicago Bulls @ Orlando Magic | 1996 Playoffs | ECF Game 4: Jordan seals the sweep
that jordan dunk over penny, while penny ducks away from mike was a classic senerio, but man that move that shaq did to make that dunk is something you would think only exist in NBA Live LOL
i was 10 yearz old, remember this series well, i was sooooo happy MJ redeemed himself after the shocking 95 embarassment, the magic were madd cocky & were talking madd shyt too, a sweep was sooooooo satisfying!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Penny has knee braces and is noticeably slower than in the series against the Bulls a year before. That was the beginning of the end for him coming in only his 3rd season, what a shame. Penny was on track to be as good as Jordan being a candidate for MVP in only his second season.
Phil Jackson owned Brian Hill and I believe the Magic had the better team. Jordan was in a zone and Bulls barely won that game.
Jordan would've still scored his points but Penny with sore knees and Anderson out, the Magic had no one to get in front of Jordan. The quickest healthy player they could put on him was Anthony Bowie? Not shocked he got 45 points!
Watching these videos never gets old. The Bulls were the best team of all time. Everyone knows they have a great offense and the best player of all time. But this was the best, quickest, most disruptive defense of all time. Jordan, Harper, Pippen, Rodman...I mean they just shut down teams whenever they want to in the clutch. I love watching this when the NBA was great.
Those are all regular season games though. He didn't score 60 in every game, but then again he didn't get the jumpshooter free throw star treatment Kobe does.
Jordan averaged a lot of free throws in his earlier years, but that was a time when he attacked the basket on every opportunity. Here are some playoff shooting stats btw: 20-34 (59%) vs Philly 1991 15-18 (83%) vs LA Lakers 1991 21-34 (62%) vs Miami 1992 20-30 (67%) vs Miami 1992 18-30 (60%) vs New York 1993 21-37 (57%) vs Phoenix 1993 16-23 (70%) vs Orlando 1996 22-35 (63%) vs Washington Bullets 1997 16-22 (73%) vs New Jersey 1998
19-31 (61%) vs Orlando 1990 19-28 (68%) vs Charlotte Hornets 1990 23-37 (62%), 20-34 (59%) and 20-29 (69%) vs Cleveland, New York and Miami in succession 1990 21-29 (72%) vs Boston 1990 18-28 (64%) vs New Jersey 1991 19-29 (66%) vs Milwaukee 1991 17-22 (77%) vs Golden State 1991 19-29 (66%) vs Milwaukee 1992 21-32 (66%) vs Cleveland 1992 19-30 (63%) vs Washington Bullets 1992 21-32 (66%) vs Cleveland 1992 (again) 18-30 (60%) vs Golden State 1992 21-35 (60%) vs Charlotte Hornets 1993
To be fair, Jordan had some nice shooting games himself: 20-29 (69%) vs Indiana 1986 22-32 (69%) vs Philly 1987 19-27 (70%) vs Indiana 1987 20-31 (65%) vs Cleveland 1987 19-27 (70%) vs Sacramento 1988 21-34 (62%) vs Portland 1988 19-32 (59%) vs Boston 1988 21-27 (78%) vs Detroit 1988 18-27 (67%) vs New York 1988 24-29 (83%) vs Philly 1988 19-27 (70%) vs Denver 1988 18-30 (60%) vs Cleveland 1988 19-31 (61%) vs Cleveland 1989 18-29 (62%) vs Dallas 1989
twmetal4ever: Im glad you understand what I´ve been saying for a long time. Bryant is crap when it really matters in the playoffs/finals. but Jordan was always dominant
People wonder why smaller gaurds gaurded MJ. You can see here what he do when bigger players try to gaurd him. Dennis scott was bigger and taller than Jordan and MJ was just way too fast for him. Your best chances of defending him was to use a speedy gaurd to body him and force him to shoot jumpers.
oh you don't know..... well manigault as in earl manigault was the best player of all time. nicknamed the goat, Greatest Of All Time. know your shit boy.
Yes he does LMFAO!! He's a draft bust picked no. 5 overall in 1985 over Hall of famer Joe Dumars and future hall of famer Karl Malone. And over many other solid players and all-stars like Detlef Schrempf, Chris Mullin, Charles Oakley, Terry Porter and A.C. Green.
jus this game alone shows how much kobe has copied MJ's game. The jumpshot, the facial expressions before and during an interview. Its insane to hear him say he idolized magic
7:03 AMAZING rebound and pass by Rodman. And amazing finish by Pippen. The 96' Bulls were the best team in the entire NBA history.
Great game for Jordan... I taped this game too. NBA on NBC with Marv Albert rules!! Screw ESPN/ABC - they suck so bad! Nothing beats NBA on NBC theme music.
they should make a box set dvd on the top 50 (or more) of Michael Jordan's greatest games in HD with Marv Albert/Matt Goukas commentary!!! I am still waiting for something like that. because it's honestly just a shame that he could not watch the world's greatest in High Def!!!
love how they chant defense..but then MJ cans another jumoer, but theres still very loud cheers. and damn penny was good. i hope d-rose turns out to play like him
actually in fact you can compare MJ to LeBron as LeBron is one of the greatest players of our generation, but obviously MJ is the best. No matter what though cause LeBron is still young and we have alot more to see of him.
45 points...16-23 shooting, better than Kobe the other night, as a 33 year old, on a sprained ankle and with a stomach virus. That's why the man's the GOAT!
Rule #1: In the 90's...you shall never eliminate Jordan from the Playoffs. In doing so you'll only make him angry and he will sweep you with in vengence the very next year. First the 91' Pistons...now the 96' Magic.
the magic have better starters like shaq oneil

Orlando arena was such a great place, its a crying shame that it will be gone in a few years. It certainly wasnt the most luxurious arena, but it had so much character.
These new arenas these days are so bland, they all look the same and they have no atmosphere.

Penny has knee braces and is noticeably slower than in the series against the Bulls a year before. That was the beginning of the end for him coming in only his 3rd season, what a shame. Penny was on track to be as good as Jordan being a candidate for MVP in only his second season.
Phil Jackson owned Brian Hill and I believe the Magic had the better team. Jordan was in a zone and Bulls barely won that game.

Jordan would've still scored his points but Penny with sore knees and Anderson out, the Magic had no one to get in front of Jordan. The quickest healthy player they could put on him was Anthony Bowie? Not shocked he got 45 points!

Watching these videos never gets old. The Bulls were the best team of all time. Everyone knows they have a great offense and the best player of all time. But this was the best, quickest, most disruptive defense of all time. Jordan, Harper, Pippen, Rodman...I mean they just shut down teams whenever they want to in the clutch. I love watching this when the NBA was great.

People wonder why smaller gaurds gaurded MJ. You can see here what he do when bigger players try to gaurd him. Dennis scott was bigger and taller than Jordan and MJ was just way too fast for him. Your best chances of defending him was to use a speedy gaurd to body him and force him to shoot jumpers.

Still Jordan explodes on the that dunk though. On a photograph it looks like Afernee is ducking for his royal airness, because he knows. LOL!!
But he just tried to play the refs cause he knew he was outnumbered and that was the only way he maybe could prevent the easy basket.....
