Chicago Bulls vs Portland Trail Blazers 1992 Finals

[nissansentraglx]

ahhhh....the memories! when basketball was fun to watch.

[frankrizzo51]

Had the opportunity to be at both a Bulls NBA Finals game and a Blackhawks playoff game just after the Gulf War started. The Bulls intro was AWESOME....BUT the national anthem at the old Chicago Stadium complete with sparklers (don't know how the fire marshall let that happen) was SPECIAL.

[kasfami]

its so loud i cant the bulls theme!

[dave0z96]

When I was 8, and 9 years old went to some games at the old Chicago stadium, during the starting line the noise was comparable to top fuel dragsters .

[jairocast21]

It can't get any better !!!great memories

[hookups]

i'll always remember the significance of this by 'at forward...from clemson...'

it never felt right when scottie was introduced first. this lineup will always bring me back.

[titomoreno]

@hookups im not agree, the second three peat team beat the shit out of the first three peat team

[VancouverChokers]

@hookups I identified more with the first three-peaters too. Didn't seem right when they had Rodman.

And the 1992 Bulls are closer to the 1996 team than people think.

[spa99squirt]

anouncer ray clay is my gym teacher

[alluvialedaempfer]

i remember they shown the 1990 - 1993 finals during the NBA lockup on that channel.

[Nacho773]

Damn the old Chicago stadium was loud as fuck

[mcord21]

Bulls need a new announcer, one better than Ray Clay, the Miami Heat announcer looks perfect, he has an incredible voice and is really emotional.

[portBlazerfan1]

I was a Blazer fan but I have to say this intro was breath taking.

[cg05bobo]

The Lakers have the most boring announcer ever. we need RAY CLAY!!!!!!!!!!!

[jmua04]

The Madhouse on Madison: greatest NBA arena ever

[kazdamanify]

1 person is a trailblazer fan

[Fallin80Free]

awesome

[zemmvr]

1992: The year legends were born!

[pharcyd00]

No place ever got louder than the old Chicago Stadium.

Still get chills watching this.

[juanburke74]

chrissinewman Play basketball? Then you need to see this - 50 inch vertical (dot) com. I highly recommend it! I m 5 5 and started dunking quickly after 4 weeks of the program!

[LACrfg5]

isiah thomas look out!!! its bill cartwright!

[JertBalls]

Epic DOUBLE SPIN MOVES by the bench players as Paxton enters 1:00 and Jordan enters 1:07 !!!!

[pharcyd00]

@JertBalls amazing catch! Looks like Stacy King and Cliff Levingston

[Gdayguy36]

Wow I wish the crowd was still as pumped today as they were in the good ol' 90s. Chicago needs a spark for the Bulls! GO BULLS!

[sumaran72]

@Gdayguy36 me to, you got to love those old arenas some how they seam a little louder than today venues.

[soulgirl66]

Ray Clay....best PA announcer EVAH!!

[DJA216]

someone plz tell me who made this song. been lookin for it forever

[bb6f44]

@DJA216 "Sirius" by the Alan Parsons Project

[absalom0412]

@DJA216 Alan Parsons Project - "Sirius"

[jmacfadyen]

Drexlar getting ready to be put in his place - distant 2nd.

[Speakup84]

So fucking Epic!

[sportsmania21]

Not much of a basketball fan but this is always amazing like the national anthems here. Its a shame that luxury suites had to run the hawks and bulls outta the Stadium. Events like this in the new buildings arent the same.

[darkshadow955]

MJ = GOD OF Basketball!

I dont give a shit about what anybody says about kobe or James, there will never be another Michael Jordan and team like this! - and im a blazers fan

[martinracn06]

chills every time

[CrazyCubsFan10]

That lone champs banner at around 0:18 would soon have some company next to it.

[patg316]

Hair still stands up when this is on.......the music, the team, Ray Clay, the Stadium crowd.....EPIC!!!

[amandaNO457]

If I was on the other team and I saw this intro... knew my team was facing the Bulls... Id ask to forefit... and the 90s Bulls would straight up own every team in the NBA now

[keineke1]

Old Chicago Stadium got loud thats for sure. You could only hear cheering and sirius very little until ray clay started announcing the lineup.

[Mah81]

When MJ is anouced, it is just Like when The Rock's mucis comes on - the crowd goes wild.

[dieselslick34]

That intro was legendary!!!!!!! The game was over before it started. Still gives me chills to this day! Hands down the best intro in sports history. It has all the components...........Great announcer, Epic music, They were the first team to turn the lights off during intros, and of course the best team ever was involved. Memories!!!

[tntchef]

Still gives me the chills.........

[edgarwebs79]

wooo yo chrissinewman that's neat if you want to start dunking you have to check this out - 50 inch vertical (dot) com

let me know if you're interested #VIDEOPOSTERID#

[WatchVenusSpa]

This intro, the music and the announcer, is simply iconic.

[jorgewong56]

chrissinewman great video, reminds me of someone I know - me - heh. I'm 5 7 and I can double pump dunk. I used the famous training workout that that even Kobe and Ray Allen both used. If you want more info about the program, check out - | 50 inch vertical [dot] com |

Chicago Bulls vs Portland Trail Blazers 1992 Finals

[huskerfan50]

Chicago Stadium!! Boy do I miss it!

[Greatest1981]

Aaaaah, the Good Old Days

[commonsense787]

dog-shit niggers

[monex5]

*sigh* the old chicago stadium..every chicago native who has been there will agree with me...there was just nothing like it..

[laxguysc]

Seeing the Bull light up on the scoreboard gives me chill bumps

[imoretull]

Damn, Horace Grant....old school goggles, awesome

[technokol007]

Nobody beat chicago!!

[budlite8]

i remember how mad i would get when they didnt put this on tv before bulls games and they would put the matchups instead.

[dave0z96]

Ive been to the United Center, Madison Square Garden, and Quicken Loans Arena, and none of them come close as far as Noise

[dave0z96]

I went to this stadium at 8,9, and 10 years old when Jordan came out everybody screamed at the top of thier lungs. You would have to scream to people sitting next to you to talk thrue out the entire game, and even then it was hard to here.

[mmx327]

bad ass fuck, go bulls

[FrsBigeasy]

The best team intro in sports history.

They couldn't of picked a better song.

[keithstah]

now this was real Finals basketball.......not this flopping all over, soccer match that we have going these days.....love the 92 bulls....my respect for the Bulls and the NBA, slowly went downhill after this.....

[SSW8040]

It is interesting to see Rick Addelman and Phil Jackson coaching against each other in 1992 and they are still coaching against each other in 2009. Addelman is with the Rockets and Jackson with the Lakers.

Go Lakers 2009 NBA Champions

[EmperorKagato]

As soon as you hear FROM NORTH... You know MJ has entered the stadium

[frenzyrocks1020]

a legendary team..

[HFsX]

Easily the best intro for a team if only because we saw it so often. Almost every team in the NBA does an open like this but this one (like the team on the court) beats all comers. I don't know if it was the music, or the star power of the lineup, it was just simply better.

[patg316]

It's all of that. It didn't hurt that the crowd went out of control at the end when Jordan was announced.

[yeormany]

I wish Pippen and Jordan were still around, they tore up. Rodman too.

[crazyjoey83]

The announcer was Ray Clay and he was the man!

[o14ed]

I'm a Knicks fan, and when we saw that glowing Bulls sign we already knew we were beaten.

[lvhaag]

Later years? He was there until 2002.

[dangerdeej]

Anyone else notice how Phil Jackson used to look like Alex Trebek?

[altown34]

perfection...

nba on nbc

the bulls intro

when the NBA was perfect

[HuskerFanatic]

And the old Chicago Stadium.

I heard someone remark during the Blackhawks playoff run this year - and I do assume there are Blackhawks fans looking at this vid - that the United Center as compared to the old Stadium has no soul. And I couldn't agree more with this assessment.

[RandyS1982]

The UC, even though it is a really nice building and holds more people, does not compare to the atmosphere that the Stadium had. It was so much louder in the Stadium. I miss the old barn!

[redfanrod]

Man, I still get shivers from that intro... and I'm a Blazers fan!

[SSW8040]

What about game 7 of the WCF of 2000 and the alley hoop from Bryant to Shaq! That was awesome and watching Rasheed Wallace act like a crybaby!

[Jarek4]

up until last year the blazers had sucked since after the drexler days ended, but if they keep up what they are doing now those days will be back!

[SSW8040]

They will lose to the Lakers when Andrew Bynum is healthy. Go Lakers

[Jarek4]

lakers suck, and the blazers have already beat the lakers this season

[SSW8040]

Wait until what happens in the post season!

[Jarek4]

lakers had their glory with immature players, they are no longer worth anyone's time

[SSW8040]

They have Pau Gasol! The Lakers have the best record in the west!

[Jarek4]

woo hoo, and the blazers are the most talented team in the NBA for their age. They are the youngest team, look at roy and oden

[SSW8040]

I will trade Roy for Lamar Odom!

[DTownBBall07]

LOL Pau Gasol... softest big man in the NBA, did you see him get abused by Garnett and Perkins in the Finals last year?

[SSW8040]

Yes he is a baby but Bynum isn't..

[DTownBBall07]

Thats true, plus Anderson Varejao, a washed up Ben Wallace, Joe Smith, etc. won't be as tough to handle as KG and Kendrick Perkins.

[TeganX7]

I can't believe how young Phil Jackson and Red Kerr look at the end .... I can't believe so much time has passed.

[woowee53]

gives me chills!

[thatmikeshow]

Pip should've been MVP in '94. He proved he was a great player after MJ left. He made a stupid mistake for 1.8 seconds, but he was still one of the 50 greatest of all time. Can't take that away!

[Grapes428]

This team was lucky to have Ray Clay be their announcer. That old stadium had the funky horn, no arena now has a horn that sounds like that.

[jmb048nym]

These were the days... player introductions didn't need pyrotechnics, or over-sized trophy things or in this case even a video. As a Knicks fan I never loved the Bulls, but this intro is absolutely classic and classy.

[dfelts2323]

I remember leaving a game from the old stadium. I was a boy at the time. I remember taxi cabs wouldn't even stop to pick you up because it was like one of the worst parts of Chicago. It was cold as a well diggers ass in the Ukon too. We had to walk for blocks. Sweet memories.

[dfelts2323]

It's not as dark in the stadium as it appears to be on t.v.

[PEARLJAMANDJCASHROCK]

the place was small and intimate compared to arenas today. it was all brick and steel, metal.  noise just bounced off of everything. the seats were sticky with beer and old gum...maybe even piss on the floor of the standing room only section in the 1st balcony. so authentic. seemed as tho there wasnt the wealthy, shiny asses at the stadium that u see today at the UC. that place is like a funeral home

[PEARLJAMANDJCASHROCK]

good memories. my pops got me one ticket to the bulls vs. knicks game 7 in 1992. it was so freakin loud and fun...he was outside during the intros and said the building literally shook a little

[spyder79z]

the MADHOUSE on MADISON .... there will never be a louder venue in the NBA ever!!!!

[mclaxman19]

or NHL

[smoke117]

I would go far as to say that Pippen was the 2nd best player on the court in that series. Some of you might say Drexler...but besides scoring what was Drexler better at then Pippen? nothing. And he wasn't even as good as he was in the late 80s. The Bulls won because they had the two best players on the court on their team.

[davidp899]

true, but don't kid yourself. we all know what pippen was like without mj, and he wasn't the same player on his own

[lancej281]

Actually, Pippen was still great without Jordan. Check out his '94 season where the Bulls only lost 2 more games than the '93 Bulls. Plus, they got cheated by Hugh Hollins against the Knicks in the playoffs.

So don't use an out of his prime and old Pippen as an example of him without Jordan. That's like me saying look at Jordan without Pippen when he was with the Wizards and didn't maket the playoffs.

[davidp899]

im not saying he wasn't great. but pippen wouldve been lucky to even win one ring without jordan, michael made him look alot better then he was. pippen was shit in the clutch. from missing those free throws in game 4 of the 98 Indiana series, to his meltdown in the New york series, pippen didn't have the balls that michael did. and he was still a great player in 2000. the year he led his team to one of the worst meltdowns in NBA playoff history against LA in game 7. He was a choker, accept it

[lancej281]

Good points. This is why Pippen was a #2. Not saying he was anything above that. He's fortunate Jordan was on the team, but so is Jordan. It worked out perfectly for both.

[davidp899]

I'll agree with that

[nochey78]

yep...with out jordan, pippen wouldn't have 6 rings..

and vice versa...

[smoke117]

Pippen in this finals:20.8ppg 8.3rpg 7.6apg 1.5spg 0.6bpg 3.8topg .483fg% .785ft%...guy really deserves more respect then he gets, but when I guess when you play next to MJ getting out of that shadow is hard, but look at those stats? 21ppg, 8rpg, 7.6apg? the guy was everywhere and doing everything. In game 6 it was Pippen and the 2nd team that brought them back from that huge deficiency...while Jordan was on the bench. He came back when it got close and then got all the glory though of course.

[silentkillah07]

lol @ paxson

[gurukilla2]

omg the blazer suck hardcore xD

[patg316]

UC is pretty loud, but nothing like the Chicago Stadium.....loudest arena anywhere.

[trev17ian]

I was at the United Center for a Bulls game 11 years ago and it was never like this.

[patg316]

Good entrance for a bad team now, but amazing entrance back then, especially at the old Chicago Stadium....place got so amazingly loud.

[g187]

especally when mj came out on to the court

[ace11rothstein]

The standard by which all modern NBA intros are judged. Ray Clay had it down, exciting without being ostentatious.

[encierro75]

What's the name of the song? I like how the players high-five the mascot.

[msnicoleb74]

TAlan Parsons Project - Sirius

[krushalum1]

Best Intro ever! Gives me chills!

[norsemustang]

Imagine an NBA team of today playing against that team in that stadium. Half the teams would probably be psyched out before the opening tip.

[zp0o]

Am I the only one with gooseflesh? The hair on my arms rise up.

Love the intro and love the speaker's voice.

[Demonridesthemoon]

I'm the same way

[petejayhawk]

Thanks for posting that. Really took me back. The only Bulls game I ever saw in person was at Chicago Stadium - we (me and my 2 other 6th grade friends) hit James Jordan in the head with a paper airplane made from the Dominicks/M&M handouts.

[Martinl792002]

Haha I was 12 then!!!! Fuck choked me up watching this!~ We'll never have another team like this again!!!!! Nor will we ever see one like this!

[Bouncecellist]

I was the halftime act at this game and the stadium was AROCKIN!!! during that intro

[im264shirt]

You don't say

[Sunchaser13127]

What a 5...

[Grapes428]

Every home game of that series, that crowd was LOUD during introductions!

[MJ232323232323]

Hey man hast du die Spiele auf Video ? Meld dich bei mir. UnforgettaBULLS 4 ever...

[chingyme]

I Miss the old bulls stadium it was the loudest ever especially when they about to say michael jordan you could barely hear his name cuz it got extra loud. Chicago Bulls was the denisty of the 90s "6 championships"

[bto4]

Ray Clay Kills

[HuskerFanatic]

"The Chicago Bulls welcome the World's Greatest Fans to Chicago Stadium!"

[getcrunk1345]

woww we suck this year

cant be like them back then

[bto4]

yyeah i know

[technodazed]

The Bulls are the fathers of what modern basketball is all about-MJ started the long shorts, the United Center started with the epic intros with the awesome song, the laser light shows, and the cool animation, Nike would not have been as popular if it weren't for MJ. Since then all other teams became copycats.

[creez34]

im sure even ppl that aren't bull fan will agree that MJ is way better than LeBron

[drc1981]

Yea it's pretty easy to say a 6 time champ and a player regarded as the best ever is better than some 21 year old kid who hasn't won jack.

[spunkycubster]

OMG LeBron and the stadium.. You're a liar! flat out liar. I dont believe that once, you need to find a hero for your city as fast as you can to make people follow a sport, where he hell we talking about again? Cleveland? haha ARE YOU SERIOUS!?  Cleveland? LeBRON IS GOD!! RIIIGHT

[qTRUq]

lmao @ you idiots sayin LeBron is better than MJ. must be out ur minds, he's nowhere near as good as MJ was!!!

[HuskerFanatic]

LeBrick is better than M.J.? No, and it's not even close.

[tomkb11011]

LeBron's is way better than MJ ever was. Also, I've been to Cavaliers stadium and Chicago's on business, Cleveland is way louder, you need ear plugs.

[themurph2000]

Yeah, and I love those NBA champion rings that LeBron has. Oh, that's right. He doesn't have any. I forgot, sorry.

[rubytubesdays]

First of all, the loudness of the stadium has nothing to do with the comparison.

Also, MJ's statistics in his 1st 4 years were much better than Lebron's.

Lastly, without multiple championship rings, MVP's, all defensive player awards, etc., your claim has no credibility.

[scottb3034]

haha tomkb11011 your a traitor and part of the rebel alliance(to the authorities) take em away!

[vmwilkie]

There is no Chance that is possible. The Bulls intro is by far the Best in the NBA. Ever since the Bulls started doing the intros with the lights off and introducing the starting line-up, everyone has now tried to copy it. When The Bulls were doing them at the old Chicago Stadium it was really loud there. My family has been a season ticket holder with the Bulls since 1984(MJ's first year). Plus I have my own season tickets with the Bulls since 1991

[TetsuyaIT]

Man i wish i was you

I swear

[mikemiker]

LeBron's is already better than MJ.

[DynamiteKid33]

CHILLS!! Legendary team

[YouCantStop85]

it always got so damn loud when mj was introduced, you really couldn't hear anything but the crowd. I'll never feel a crowd get like that again. This truly was the best team ever

[MyWorld108]

The best team ever!!!

[MyWorld108]

fuckin legendary!!!!!

[flueva1]

Chicago sports and Chicago fans will always be the greatest! Chitown baby!

[epcheerio]

i had the luck of going to my first bulls game ever at the old chicago stadium. in person you cant hear the names inside the stadium. on tv and video you can hear the names because i guess how they feed audio into the telecast. but i have never been to a stadium or arena where i leave with a headache like the old stadium U.C isnt shit compared.

[Hypebusta]

lol

[geeisthisnametaken]

Phil's like "what? why wasn't MY name announced with the lights out?!?"

[dickeysimpkins023]

man i miss the stadium.

[crazyclubber]

Best, and loudest intro EVER!!!

[budlite8]

i went to the united center in 96 and i bet the spotlight intros wasnt as good as the ones in chicago stadium

[HuskerFanatic]

Classic stuff (and I'm a Rockets fan).

Love me some "the Man in the Middle, from San Francisco, 7'1, Bill Cartwright!"

[Disthaman]

this vid alwayz pumpz me up alot!! :o

[destinigma]

bulls for ever

[lerocket]

that intro got Chicago stadium rockin' brings back memories and i still get chills

[drc1981]

Still the best intro any NBA team has ever used.

[kmalloy11]

Ditto, although I'm bitter they beat my Sonics in 96.

[Disthaman]

damn right i think tha Chicago Bulls into back when they had those great playas and the Detroit Pistons intro today r 2 of the best intros ever

[SPMJ]

Now that's what you call LOUDDDD! Nothing compares with Bulls' introductions.

[cracksmokervideos]

Michael Jordan... Oh man we had the Babe Ruth of basketball. God that was fun.

[casaiello]

No...The Yankess had the Michael Jordan of baseball

[draciel80]

i miss the old benny the bull. the new one scares me.
