Bulls vs Hawks - 1996 (72-10 season)

[Oxcyde]

Those passes by longley were perfect!!

[flyyyer]

The most underrated player on this team was Luc Longley. I honestly believe Sonics very well could have beaten them in the finals if they had switched centers.

[iurhviusdfavhi]

There passing as a team was disgusting.

[kanguesso]

@motherpader At the end of the day, Pippen was a guard. Most GMs and coaches in the NBA would take a big man like Shaq over any guard, including Pippen. If i were starting a Team and they gave me a choice of picking A prime time Shaq or a prime time Pippen, Dude i would Jump on Shaq.

[nikeskater416]

90's > now

when's the last time you've seen a team get 120+ points in a game? or dunk more than once or twice? I can't even watch basketball now, every single play is a foul, it's ridiculous how business has killed the NBA.

[KennedyCorey]

Pipen was AMAZING!!

[kanguesso]

@motherpader Dude i don't know what argument you're trying to make here. My point was that I would take Shaq over Pippen any day of the week if i were starting a team. I know how good Pippen was and how well he defended but in the Pippen vs Shaq thing you will not get too many people who would pass on Shaq . That is just insane. It's not about Pippen's background, it's about the fact that if you WERE STARTING A TEAM AND YOU HAD TO GO WITH PIPPEN OR SHAQ, YOU'D BE INSANE NOT TO GO WITH SHAQ.

[piez4132]

@kanguesso Im insane, I would go with PIP

[kanguesso]

@motherpader I guess it is just a matter of preference. But i know one thing, even with all the bad qualities about Shaq, if i were starting a team and there was A young Shaq and Pippen available, i would jump on Shaq as fast as humanly possible. You can keep Pippen all they long. Big man like Shaq don't come around everyday. There are many defensive Guards like Pippen who are talented in Many areas. But a Center like Shaq comes around once every 20 years or so. That's who i would choose.

rhe good times

[kanguesso]

I still think the 90s Bulls are one of the most underrated teams is basketball history. What they were able to accomplish is simply beyond words. The Bulls were basically a small team. Jordan and the Bulls were the only team that were able to dominate and win multiple Championships without a dominant big man down low. Name one team in the NBA that won multiple championships without a dominant big man in the middle. There is NONE. Can you imagine if Jordan had a young Shaq instead of Pippen?

[BIGBOSS1983100]

Pippen>NBA of today.

[doule76]

this bulls team would have beaten any other team 2day.pip and mj were maybe not so atheltic as lebron and wade...but so much smarter playing the game. it was almost a perfect team then.dennis, luc and all the roleplayers knew exactly what to do on the floor what to bring to the bulls teamplay. it was a joy to see them play then. and to david stern and his folks: dennis must become a hall of famer!! he is probably the best defence player of his era. a 6,7",who, in his prime, could shot shaq down!

[wornoutshoes11]

@doule76 i know your post is a year old but i just cant help it... what makes u think that lebron and wade are more athletic than MJ & PIP? if u can defend your statement which i think u cant but still... enlighten us!!!

[doule76]

@wornoutshoes11 ok,first of all:you right;-).mj is not as tall or as"heavy"(=less muscles)as lebron,but that has nothing to do with his athletisim or his athletic skills.mj was very athletic and very strong-almost every player,who defended him throughout his career,said so.pip,on the other hand,is more skinny as for example wade or lebron.so:less athletic,somehow.but again:he 2 was a athletic beast!i just thought of the 91`finals,when he took a taller and stronger magic out of the game!greets

[JwebGuru]

The '96 Bulls were just unfair.

[mikerosemary]

Luc Longley was important piece in the Bulls system...look at him at 5:46 and 5:51...the bulls passing was poetry in motion

[Fripitto]

7:44 - If they had tried that on purpose it probably wouldn't have worked.

[MyTipsi]

nba and its new players dis days suck ass! pippens era are way better and more scintific in their approach of the game. players dis days are nuthin but AND 1 show offs whos all bout scoring....sad sad turn of events!

[showstoppa01]

Da Bulls Road Games in 1996 was the best shows to watch. Look how smooth and casual they play while whipping the opposition on there own home court

[bulls7123]

Ah, good memories. Thanks for the upload, 90's Bulls forever!

[glawz]

I loved those Atlanta Hawks uniforms.

[BlackSted]

@glawz  lol so do I, especially the away uniforms

[spitnificent]

Scottie Pippen aka Mr. Get That Shit Outta Here, lol...

[KobeSpawn]

Too bad the ratings are at its highest during the Kobe years.

[romadkern]

@KobeSpawn are they? last time the stats were in the NBA's rating have continued to drop.....too bad you cant supply any facts

[davd1986]

2:57-3:01, play of the game, perhaps?

[romadkern]

i tell u, people who come on here and say these Bulls teams couldnt handle today's teams are complete idiots and obviously didnt watch the NBA back then...MJ,Pippen, and Rodman always did their thang

[manuknapatai]

@romadkern that's true man. and there is yet to have any formidable and toughest trio in the NBA nowadays which is comparable or at least could be at the same class with the Chicago Bulls trio of MJ-PIP-DR.

[andyk6925]

Man watching this, this isnt fair for the rest of the league....

[rb2181]

Jordan could of won the dunk contest in 1996.

[EddyCartoon]

Damn, Stacy Augmon gets embarrassed big time at 6:56.

[chipdouglas03]

pip's layup at 6:09 is a thing of beauty

[dv122]

pippen > lebron

[bigboss25262]

@dv122 pippen>Jordan

[Cwm368]

Pip @ 3:00.. I tell you...

[spitnificent]

Jordan always owned Augmon...

[jaa0702]
