Chicago Bulls Introduction 1997 NBA Finals Game 6

[dtjesus]

I grew up in the 90's watching NBA. I miss those days

[srgtfx]

i cant stop to see

[HawksVols44]

Do they still do this introduction at the United Center?

[Rodan16]

@HawksVols44 Same song but a little different and it doesn't have the N64 like graphics haha

[Rodan16]

If this doesn't give you chills you aren't a bulls fan

[GunsNRosesbitches]

@Rodan16 No, if this doesn't give you chills you aren't a basketball fan

[strings715]

@GunsNRosesbitches If this doesn't give you chills you aren't a sports fan

[GunsNRosesbitches]

@strings715 If this doesn't give you chills you are not human

[strings715]

@GunsNRosesbitches If this doesn't give you chills you are not an organism

[strings715]

@GunsNRosesbitches ok seriously, i am celtics fan, but this really gave me the chills.

this theme song along with the introduction of MJ is just legendary. :D

[GunsNRosesbitches]

@strings715 Idk, but I'd rather have 6 championships and Michael Jordan, than all those 17 championships and the superstars of Celtics rich history :/

[strings715]

@GunsNRosesbitches so MJ is worth the superstars of celtics all together..

[GunsNRosesbitches]

@strings715 I feel that way.

[tgrosse31]

@FreshWesss

I'm sorry to inform you but here is the full game, with even pregame.

just search 1997 NBA Finals Game One [1 of 12] and put in the corresponding number to see each one.

Hate to say it but Mr. Edelstein was right!!!

This is Game 1!!!

[FreshWesss]

@tgrosse31 YES, AND IN THAT VIDEO, LUC LONGLEY IS RUBBING HIS HANDS TOGETHER FACING THE CAMERA AT 9:36!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IN MY VIDEO ABOVE, HE IS RUBBING HIS HANDS TOGETHER WITH HIS BACK FACING THE CAMERA AT 1:28... LIKE I'VE BEEN SAYING ALL ALONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry for the all caps and the exclamation points, but you guys don't seem to be listening to me about the subtle differences!!! Of course the intros overall are going to look the same, you have to find little things here and there.

[tgrosse31]

@FreshWesss

I apologize AGAIN.....you are right, Ron Harper does some excited clap in this video which he does not do in the video I found for Game 1.

Congrats Sir, I should have never jumped off the bandwagon!

[FreshWesss]

@tgrosse31 Thanks for the apology. Hopefully L1v3C4m will apologize as well for causing all this grief, but if not, oh well.

[shel2185]

Best sports team intro ever!

[FreshWesss]

Let’s put an end to this nonsense once and for all. I’ve uploaded both intros. The video is entitled "1997 NBA Finals Introduction Comparisons", and it can be found here:

youtube.com/watch?v=POZXHR5HuJ­o

Now at 4:39 you see Longley rubbing his hands together facing the camera in Game 1. At 5:03 you see Ali between the camera and Phil Jackson in Game 1.

At 9:42 you see Longley rubbing his hands together with his camera to the back in Game 6.

[tgrosse31]

@FreshWesss

Man I backed you so hard, how could you lead me down a dead end road. I hate to say it but it looks like our teacher Mr. Edelstein is right. This is Game 1. I just watched the full game and it is game 1. You might want to re-vist your collection and change the title.

[FreshWesss]

@tgrosse31 Check out the video entitled "1997 NBA Finals Introduction Comparisons" to see for yourself.

[L1v3C4m]

@FreshWesss youtube.com/watch?v=IbbIUlrBZ1­g and youtube.com/watch?v=awqQyd_4hS­­w Again,all so damn clear for everyone!!!Good luck P.s in game 6 passed m.monroe not ali!! Lol

[FreshWesss]

@L1v3C4m @tgrosse31 YES, AND IN THAT VIDEO, LUC LONGLEY IS RUBBING HIS HANDS TOGETHER FACING THE CAMERA AT 9:36!!!!!!!!!!!

IN MY VIDEO ABOVE, HE IS RUBBING HIS HANDS TOGETHER WITH HIS BACK FACING THE CAMERA AT 1:28... LIKE I'VE BEEN SAYING ALL ALONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry for the all caps and the exclamation points, but you guys don't seem to be listening to me about the subtle differences!!! Of course the intros overall are going to look the same, you have to find little things here and there.

[L1veC4m]

Even a retarded!!! At te fucking end of the intro pip goes to phil eith williams at the back ,exacr same intro,exacr same moves,words etc,your ends with the intro,mines continues with all the rest all teh damn game1..lime i said even a retarded can understand it!!! Everyone got it case i received pms mina ago with SORRY!!! From now i stop answeat cause i just got that u are a truly noi. And not even a man lime i tough!!

[FreshWesss]

@L1veC4m And Muhammad Ali passes between the camera and Phil Jackson in game 1 in the intro... he was only there for game 1!!!!

[FreshWesss]

@L1veC4m Muhammad Ali seals the deal for me... another knockout by the Greatest!!!

[FreshWesss]

@L1veC4m In the uploaded clip here that's in question, you see Pip coming towards Phil Jackson, and then it's over. Watching the rest of it on the hard drive, they don't talk to each other in game 6. In game 1, Pip comes over and does talk to him. Please watch Luc Longley when he rubs his hands and see which way he is facing the camera in games 1 and 6 - game 1 -- he is facing it, in game 6 - his back is towards it.

It's hard to pick out little differences, but this gives proof.

[L1veC4m]

@FreshWesss LOL, AGAIN

youtube.com/watch?v=IbbIUlrBZ1­g and

youtube.com/watch?v=awqQyd_4hS­­w

as i said..GAME OVER..try again

[L1veC4m]

@FreshWesss youtube.com/watch?v=IbbIUlrBZ1­g and

youtube.com/watch?v=awqQyd_4hS­w

BANG!!!! it hurst ah? SHHHHHHHHHH..it hurts ah???

[spurfan82]

Enough said just bring the trophy out Stern. Still best player intro in pro sports history. BTW thanks New England Patriots for ruining the second best player intro's The Super Bowl intro. Now everyone has to come out together like a damn college team. One of the perks of making it as a pro and to the Super Bowl used to be getting your named called out to millions on that Sunday.

[D0peB0Imagik]

You can tell by the graphics in the intro video that this was 1997, lol looks like something off a Nintendo 64

[julian12961]

Greatest team of all time mj greatest player of all time fuck off lebron fans come back when he has 6 rings

[str8trippinnnn]

This gives me goosebumps every time I watch this.

[defaggie]

If they ever build a time machine, they can drop me on the court side of that game right before this intro! Goosebumps all over!! :D

[iDrAmA214]

@Janusmannen To be world champions you have to have a championship team. Which means, you have to have teamwork ad dedication, not just talent and two or three guys that are the best.

[maniac9565]

These were the days man god damn these were THE FUCKEN GOOD OL DAYS!!

[MistrEgg]

@maniac9565 Yeah. Basketball ain't the same.

[Tsuzuja]

If the current day Miami Heat were in the presence of this, I think LeBron wouldn't be the only onw no-showing on the 4th quarter.

[dinobravo23]

The 12 haters must be knicks fans

[LeChatDeNoir13]

Haha Phil Jackson's face at the end

[MidnightWonderer69]

tht is sick



[wwuburg19]

Not gonna lie, i get goosebumps every time I watch this and have ever since I was a kid and saw this.

[lshocket]

Top comment #1 "intdtro"

Top comment #2 "Luke" Longley

Is the key to a top comment bad grammer and an utter lack understanding of the subject?

[golf520man]

@lshocket I'll put a thumbs up for your spelling of "grammar"

[MisakiLeasim]

love it how coaches always act like they dont care sh*t about their intros haha

[maniac9565]

@janusmannen America sucks all the talent out of the world in all fields not just in Basketball. Scientist, Engineers, asian whores, Athletes, etc etc etc. The best are recruited by the best, therefore If some chinaman called Yao makes it to the NBA or some dude named mano from Argentina or a guy named Parker from France then rightfully so american teams can be called WORLD CHAMPIONS just like asian woman can be called whores and not be so far off

[kumatyranus]

I already marked it as favorites, and liked it, post it in FB, and I dont know how to say how much I like this :DDDDDDDDDD

[jimg0007]

i guess 6 people are jazz fans and 5 are knicks fans

[Janusmannen]

I don't want to pick a fight.... But isn't it a little wrong to call them "World Champions"?!

I mean.... The world has MORE countries than just USA..... ;-)

[greasycorndog]

@Janusmannen the worst nba team would easily sweep any other team of any league...

[Janusmannen]

@greasycorndog That might be true..... But still... A world champion should only be named as such when they really DO beat teams from other countries..... If we go by "teams on paper" only, then such things as - for example - "miracle on ice" NEVER would have happened.....

Get my point?

And again.... I did NOT say this to pick a fight... :-)

[PoisonOP]

@Janusmannen Players from all over the world play in this league. If other countries wanted to, they could become a part of the NBA. So it is appropriate.

[Janusmannen]

@PoisonOP Well.... I DO know how you mean.... But I still disagree about the term "world champion"...

In America they win the NBA-title.... :-)

And about "joining" the league..... Who decided that USA is the one to set terms for the rest of the world...?!

[lshocket]

@Janusmannen The USA/NBA doesn't set the terms for the rest of the world. That would be FIBA. The NBA just happends to be the oldest league with the most history and the best players.

[Janusmannen]

@lshocket I DO get your point....but I still don't think "world champions" is a proper title...

[operationmiller]

@Janusmannen I think they call it the world champions because it's the highest level of professional basketball. Most NBA teams have a few foreign players, even this team had Luc Longley from Australia and Toni Kukoc from Croatia. And they've gotten even better than before like Dirk Nowitski and Pau Gasol who are both all-stars and champions.

[Tsuzuja]

@Janusmannen To be honest, was there any team in the world that could compete with these Chicago Bulls?

[Janusmannen]

@Tsuzuja Either you guys don't get my point....or you don't WANT to get it....

To be "world champions" requires to win the world championships!

So instead of so stubbornly claim that you're the best in the world in all your answers.....can you PLEASE get my point now?!

Because I DO get YOURS...

[Tsuzuja]

@Janusmannen Didn't read about "your point" and I believe you didn't understand mine either. I meant that if the so called "Miami Big Three", or any modern team were to be on the visiting bench while this entrance ocurred, they would break down. Quickly.

[BurnInTheLight]

minecraft at the beginning

[indygsr]

Watching this still gives me the chills

[orangekrushcool]

The dislikes must be Jazz fans. :-p

[steelerman1974]

This video should be named Goosebumps. Cuz that's what I still get every time I watch it!

[naniel93]

The Bulls NBA Finals intros should've been at least 15 minutes long

[jasoncsh]

loved it when the crowd goes: Luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucccc­!!!

[bulldog190]

[numberwangs]

[VinmanMJ23]

At guard...from Nooorrrttthhh Carolina....brings me chills because I amd from North Carolina.

[WJZ13]

When you heard this (at the beginning of the game)... it was already over!

[Mrbaltimore2001]

The bulls were already up by ten before tip off with their indtro

[princeofdarknessxyz1]

@Mrbaltimore2001 well said...to answer the 2k12 game of which team was the best ever...it would be 97 bulls and 90's

[xXxFB4LxXx]

@Mrbaltimore2001

They could have left the court, and won the game automatically.

[JordanSanders1991]

@23oscarmania

[ihopeugaggin]

is it just me or did they not emphasize jordan enough...

[rhettrorocket43]

The things I would do to have been born in the 80s......

[AggieNephew]

Im a mavs fan and i say -- best intro ever!!!

[fluffynoses]

three hall of famers in one starting lineup. how fucking awesome is that

[GoalHornDude]

@fluffynoses Thats exactly why they went 72-10 the season before '97 and 69-13 in '97 they had the best lineup, and the best bench.

[thehopscotchhero]

this song even makes Luke Longley seem like the most badass player ever

[fluffynoses]

@thehopscotchhero lmfao

[icefrappe]

@thehopscotchhero he's best australian player ever. fuck andrew bogut. longley got 3 rings

[davidp899]

@icefrappe lol andrew bogut would win 3 rings with michael jordan too

[icefrappe]

@davidp899 i was trying to be sarcastic with this whole "ring" argument LOL

[dlawson688]

@thehopscotchhero lol

[ShyteKreek46]

That's back when the Bulls were still kickin' ass!!!!!!

[Halo3Arbiter]

@ShyteKreek46

They still are.

[pulkitsaini04]

thumbs up if the heat sucks

[bulloman1]

La migliore presentazione di tutti gli sport per la squadra più forte di tutti i tempi!!!!

[MrFunky1996]

@bulloman1 METTE I BRIVIDI!

[pcorf]

At forward from Central Arkansas, 6 7, Scottie Pippen

A 6 foot 6 forward from SE Oklahoma State, Dennis Rodman

The man in the middle, from New Mexico, 7 2 LOOOOOOC Longley

A 6 6 guard from Miami Ohio, Ron Harper

From North Carolina at Guard, 6 6, Michael Jordan!!!

The head coach for the Bulls is Phil Jackson ......

[chale111111]

The best intro in all of sports

[Markdguarin]

yup i'm rooting for the bulls and MAVs too.. so even though bulls loose to the heat still happy bec mavs became champs!! it's been a long time coming for the mavs.. a lesson learned from miami is that the best players doesn't mean best team... now NBA teams will think twice b4 making a big three, big 4 whatever... that's why i respect the 80's and 90's era.. coz for them there is no shortcut in basketball but only hardwork!!

[rez1257]

I love this Bulls team now (NOT YOU BOOZER) but this still gives me chills. Damn proud I was able to be at these games.

[kasfami]

@rez1257 LMAO not u boozer. yeah he def needs to step up his game

[TheGreatest456]

the greatest and the most intimidating intro in all sports. anyone else agree

[kasfami]

@FreestylezKilla got you. my bad. so many heat bandwagoners on here kinda got u in the mix

[kasfami]

@FreestylezKilla haha 4-2 mavs. no ring for lebron.

[MrOggieboogie5]

imagine if Michael Jordan And Derrick Rose were on the bulls in the 90s

[boredfun91]

@MrOggieboogie5 Rose would get his ass worked in the 90s. Pippen was a much better distributor than Rose is.

[scarblade234]

Luc Longley - AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE OI OI OI!!!

[sivret20]

They needed Jordan to come out in a plume of smoke.

[MMFreak21XX]

the Bulls today need to mature more before they reach this caliber

[teddyd2009]

one of the greatest line-ups in sports history

[iceman32290]

I love how they're all business. No stupid pre-game antics, jumping up and down and doing all these stupid handshakes like most players do these days. They have their game face on, just a fist bump and they're ready to get to business

[lemi619]

why is scottie pippen talking trash about jordan :/?

[Obrantley]

Only the Detroit Piston's intro comes close to it

[TheCivilengr]

love the scene at 1:42

[rmelgar9]

i still get goosebum`s from this !

[MrBlackhawksfan]

Anyone else just get shivers throughout the whole 2 minutes?

[princeofdarknessxyz1]

why isn't there a nba documentary of the chicago bulls of the 90's? if so let me know...they were some team

[DjAdamSandoval]

@princeofdarknessxyz1 There was a 1 hour documentary made for each title winning season. They were all compiled in along with 1 game from each of the finals series in 2004 for a 4 disc DVD set in the NBA dynasty series. I bought mine when it came out for 50.00, but i think they are out of print now and the cheapest used one on amazon is 150.00.

[Soribbady]

I was the only one in the world supporting Jazz... but this intro are pure shivers

[scando1988]

when basketball was real... :)

[princeofdarknessxyz1]

@scando1988 what ever happened to those two chicago bulls mascots? why did they change them?

[zGunShiiii]

This shit still gives me chills

[ARyesMP]

One of my favorite childhood memories. Watching the Bulls win2 3-peat. Like all of kids growing up in the 80s and 90s, we had the privilege to watch perhaps the greatest team in NBA history. They are one of the most cohesive team, well put together. Jordan might be the captain, but it was a team effort to reach and obtain those 6 Rings/Championships.Thanks for the upload.

[LiKASO1]

can anyone else say fail on the opening animations, its amazing how much technology has evolved.

[birdman4birdlegs]

@LiKASO1 I've yet to see an animation paired with a song that has given me goosebumps the way this one has though

[AC1583]

O and Heat Suck!!!! Go MAVS

[AC1583]

This song in the beginning is intimidating even if the team is the NJ nets the song is naturally intimidating

[jlkology05]

Bulls in 2012

[TheGreatest456]

I don't care what anyone says, this is the greatest introduction in basketball. it was so intimidating to opponents.

[FerrariSorry]

The GOAT team of any professional sports ever.

[mandy26lez]

ray clay rules!

[frobrofityfoe]

i dont give a fuck about a short guy that can dunk

[JordanSanders1991]

@frobrofityfoe

5'5? i;d rather watch Muggsy Bouges dunk at 5'3 :D

AND GO BULLS!!

[ro42023]

How can u concentrate for a game when u got that intro and seein Michael Jordan on the court ready to take his place where only gods go when the conquer their enemies.

[jmo8yfo]

damn I'm not even playin.... watchin this still gives me the chills!!!! GO BULLS!!!

[RockeyJesse20]

I want Bulls beat the Heat Derrick Rose,Joakim Noah and Carlos Boozer is the key players hopefully make Miami work. Man I want the Bulls destroy Wade, Bosh and James.

[TKollaKid]

@RockeyJesse20 I know, me too. Lebron James is overly proud of himself especially considering that he has not even won a title.

[thegiftedmedia]

@TKollaKid So what if he hasn't won a title? It's the game stats which matter. At his age, he is on his way to break all records.

[TKollaKid]

@thegiftedmedia You're right, stats are important but after everything is said and done, a player's legacy is based on number of championships earned. Having won 2 MVPs doesn't sound as great as having won 2 NBA championships. Michael Jordan would not be as legendary as he is today if he hadn't won a title. But you are right, there is more to the game than championships.

[thegiftedmedia]

@TKollaKid Thank you for realizing that. LJ's all set to earn his first ring anyway.

[24jhunory]

@TKollaKid I totally agree that MJ is the legend that he us today because of the title's he brought to the bulls along with Pippen...but for me personally I've been an MJ fans since I watch him play in 1996...and up to this moment I still watch a lot of his videos almost everyday..what he has aside from sheer talent is his passion and love on what he is doing reason why he is GREAT in what he does.not to mention the charisma that he has during his time and the ability to dominate the GAME.

[Zer0721]

@RockeyJesse20 Didnt and wont ever happen.

[Apocalypse3434]

@RockeyJesse20 Sorry it didn't work out for the Bulls, but at least my Mavs had your back and beat those losers.

[DMBreppin517]

@RockeyJesse20 but it didnt happen

[tysontom1]

@RockeyJesse20 get rid off noah lets get dwight howard on our team

[dpmaster32]

@RockeyJesse20 to bad they didnt HAHAHAHHAHAHAH

[kippstarwra]

@dpmaster32 Fuck tha Heat, bunch a faggs man LBJs a bitch GO BULLS

[TheDXarmymember]

@RockeyJesse20 LEARN ENGLISH DUMB FUCK

[notagain001]

@RockeyJesse20 maybe next year,

[aydol23]

@RockeyJesse20 sorry man it's just a dream to destroy that team man..lol

[GG604]

[PrkchpsNaplsaws]

Hey honey, im going to be gone for a few days

No - ill be bringing about 800 other people with me

[chrisx2k6]

Boy!...Scottie's got his WARFACE on comin' outta that line...Oooooh wee!...Goosebumps.

[mhirschb]

8 people should be shot for disliking this

[OLDELK95]

When the Chicago Bulls make it to the NBA Finals, I want Ray Clay to do the opening intro's.

[JuliusC1973]

Wow, it didn't get any better than this. I miss this team. Those were great times. It was a great Era in The NBA.

[titomoreno]

thats not even fair, pippen, rodman and jordan, fucking bad ass!!!

[jairocast21]

The Greatest intro and team of all time!!!!!!.

[princeofdarknessxyz1]

if you compare the bulls of the 90's and the lakers in the 2000's...phil had a better time with the bulls...would u agree?

[JRangerCR355]

@princeofdarknessxyz1 Definately, Phil NEVER went through the tough times w/ the Bulls than he did w/ the Lakers. Especially those 2004 Lakers.

[lexSFC]

@princeofdarknessxyz1 i agree. Phil did have a better time with the bulls. The 90's Bulls were much better players, and the nba players at the time, could not counter the triangle offence that Jackson and the bulls revolutionized. By the time of the 3peat with the lakers, the rest of the league had about 8-10 years of studying the triangle, which made things harder for Jackson. Also, he didn't have divos on the bulls like he did with the lakers.

[princeofdarknessxyz1]

@lexSFC really...teams were studying the triangle?

[princeofdarknessxyz1]

since lakers are eliminated from playoffs in 2011...bulls will return to finals

[Rr6004]

@pepsikola4 yeah its called sirius by the alan parsons project

its in 2k11 i dunno if its somewhere to download

[pepsikola4]

Does anyone know the name of the bulls intro/who or what band performed it/is it available for download anywhere

[shortcake99]

back when basketball meant something and best intro of all time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrThejbusy]

best intro

[Tony19C]

0:32 I GOT GOOSBUMPS!!!! I WANNA HAVE THAT FEELING AGAIN THIS YEAR!!!
