Barkley, KJ and The Suns vs Jordan, Pippen and The Bulls: NBA 1995-96

[thatdudecozz89]

NBA when I was a kid>>>>NBA when I am now an adult...Best jerseys, court designs, best shows, best video games (although I love NBA 2K12), you name it.

[MadDog243]

Whiny bitchass bulls announcers.

Yeah Im a Suns fan and this was a great time of basketball. And Jordan is the greatest of all time. So why do the bulls announcers act like the shit team from detroit (in this era)?

[dvdmag34]

I've been looking for this footage of Barkley's monster dunk and celebration for 15 years. I remember I intended to tape this game but took a nap and forgot to start the VCR and just watched it from the 2nd quarter till the end. Man if only I knew what that game wouldve been like. Totally awesome upload, thanks a million.

BADAZZ BARKLEY

[tylerretro83]

Those were the days NBA was real..GO SUNS!

[hettyray]

barkley's 3 elbow shots to the kidneys of rodman.

[victorjulio15]

if i remember correctly, kukoc went off this game

[victorjulio15]

i love barkley just randomly elbowing rodman. that's one player who rodman coudn't psyche out

[BourbonAndCocaCola]

The NBA is garbage now. The players don't respect the sport. 84'-96' will go down as the golden era of the NBA as a whole.

[triklops]

Great intensity... !!!!

[SwingMan1937]

What a game - I had this baby taped & it was eaten up in a buddy's VCR just 4 short days later. :(

In case no one's aware, this Chicago team was the one that went on to win an NBA record 72 games - and the Suns beat 'em this night, giving the Bulls their first losing streak of the season (they'd lost to the Nuggets in Denver the night before).

[ShopforCFcom]

Rodman taking a 3 with 34sec left? What a dummy. hahaha

[rafikz77]

Bulls announcers = biased homers

[joekiddlouischama]

@rafikz77 They still knew the game, though. You can hear them praise some of the Phoenix players in this video.

[PJHunterTJ]

Man Finley was good back then. Man, that was pretty much a rivalry in the 90's.

[PJHunterTJ]

Man Finley was good back then.

[killbill111]

lol 3:35, what the hell was barkley thinking?!

[ARZCARDINALS]

Man do I miss Sir Charles, KJ, and the Suns of Old and I will especially miss this guy 8:43 (Cotton) RIP coach...

[Defender80s]

Sir Charles!

[jbh2385]

WOW!!! I actually remember watching this game live when I was a kid. Charles Barkley was & always will be my favorite player and I can remember how awesome this was when they beat the Bulls that night since they were damn near unbeatable that season.

I especially remember the steal Chuck had @ the end to seal it. I was jumping around my living room the same way he was after the dunk as I watched with my dad. I was 11 yrs old. Always fun to revisit childhood on youtube.

thanks baldheadkid

[ctx60]

damn barkley raped him good

[robsareli]

barkly suck's he don't know how to play that goog like jordan and only cause he win the game that don'd means's he is better than jordan

[ry3304]

@robsareli

stfu u fuckin tiny lil baby weird ass lil chode dicked retard.

lmfaoz.

barkley was wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better than pippen, and as late as 93 ppl thought he was better or on par as lil gurli ass mj.

injuries slowed him down but he was always competitive, n a better all around player than mj, even pippen maybe too.

u see again - mj only dominated offensively.....sometimes on d.

barkley culd do it in so many ways - scoring rebounding passing n even d sometimes.

[hbksteve2002]

@ry3304 Wow terrible statement. Just terrible.

[joekiddlouischama]

@ry3304 Jordan marked a great all-around player on both ends of the floor. Barkley proved more dominant on the glass, but he also constituted more of a ball-stopper and his defense proved inconsistent at best.

[Drtbaggae]

LOL. I take it these were bulls announcers

[jumpnam]

OH what a pass by The Waiter at 3:59. Right on the money, delivered perfectly to Pip who was surrounded. What a finish too.

[andriusssska]

Big speed by MJ at 2.45

[lilcrow82]

Sir Charles all day everyday!!!! Chuck wagon would hoop all over Duncan!

[goldenapple91]

I'm still trying to figure out what the Suns were thinking getting rid of these great jerseys they wore through the 90s for the boring and crappy jerseys they wear today.

[jellyreds]

what a play by KJ at 1 min

[AceroySangre]

Charles doubled and tripled the whole game

Best PF Ever!

[TheEntertainmentonly]

The Nuggets suck that year. The Bulls must've had an off day.

[kOrOne79]

I always loved those Suns jerseys.

Jordan, Barkley, Pip, KJ... lot's of greatness, lots of emotions. I had mad respect for them back then.

[thesly25]

i was always amused watching these mortal teams celebrate like they just won a Gold Medal when they beat the Bulls. funny how a minor hiccup for History's Greatest Team will turn into a story that other guys will tell their great grandchildren.

[popeyeisgood]

i agree. it is almost like a joke just to see how happy they are. kind of reminds me of reggie winning shot in the playoff a little bit. by the way i couldnt stand elliot perry a lot. that guy's style is hideous.

and that footrace at 2:48 is amazing. first the tip was hard and the ball is flying far fast, mj just accelerates in less than a second and ran pass the two guys and catch up with the ball, and still be is able to maintain his balance after the quick braking at the end and attempt.

[samoanseb8]

That is because this game was a big rivalry matchup for this time in NBA history, especially since the bulls only defeated the suns in the finals two years prior. This is the period in the NBA where there were a lot of awesome rivalries because teams traded less, chemistry was better, and lots of intense battles between team's that had their core players maintained for several seasons. Made for much better viewing than today's lamer brand of Bball

[jeditwinz]

LOL

5:46. Typical MJ and Barkley. He gives he a little shove after the foul.

[chrisguy90]

What a great upload. I love 90s bball. They knew how to play the game, defensively and offensively. Poor Kerr never could play much 1 on 1 D tho. Lol.

[spitnificent]

MJ beat KJ in a foot race...a beast.

[char4ever]

i am amazed how fast MJ was at 1996, especially he got the motivation from playing against barkerly. He will evaluate his game.
