Top 10 Nba Finals 1997

[mtj8]

I LOVE Jordan kicking Stockton down on that game winner in Game 6. Otherwise Kerr get's a very contested shot. Stern allowed MJ to get away with anything he wanted. Joke.

[JhayMNOP]

when i see Karl Malone i also see LeBron James ... but when i see lebron james i also see a karl malone TRYING HARD TO BE LIKE MIKE.

[Juiceish1]

@JhayMNOP When i see Lebron james i see Magic johnson.

[143jetblack]

0:24 Picture Perfect!!!!!

[yooutubemoment]

90s, when NBA didn't stand for Not Ballin Anymore..

[Juiceish1]

@yooutubemoment Fuck u talkin bout ?? We still ballin today.

[youngdeamonta]

Damn man how unlucky can you be. Stockton and Malone make it to the NBA finals two years in a row and both times they run into a guy named Michael Jordan.

[hellahotdude]

how good is steve kerr!!!

[hakunamate]

where the hell was the game 1 game winner of MJ?

[Skoolkidsproduction]

@hakunamate number 4

[kanguesso]

Steve Kerr; shitty commentator, shitty General Manager and shitty executive. The only thing he was good for was shooting the ball.

[stewiegriffin31094]

@boredfun91 Wait.....yeah, you're right, my bad. Bulls are the only team to ever do it. Three times at that. Must've been tired when i wrote that.

[stewiegriffin31094]

Kukoc, Paxson: only shots to ever clinch a championship. Gotta love Chicago :D

[boredfun91]

@stewiegriffin31094 uh..What? MJ's final shot in the 98 Finals clinched the championship.

[Samaro1986]

MJ thats a bad man on the basketball court no doubt the greatest period!!!!

[Maidenhead1996]

No. 2 is better than No. 1

[TheAveryEdwards]

#2 shoulda been #1

[majavama]

las mejores finales que he visto en mi vida uron la de los jazz con los bulls....ufffff

[Junkosei]

Great performance by the role players on both teams

[josesince82]

#2 should've been #1

[mitakabgg]

chicago bulls ftw

[arniebarb123]

thats when basketball was basketball

[mitakabgg]

@arniebarb123 yes i agree

[10Guinao]

What is the Bulls Coach in Season 1996/1997?

[zacj15]

@10Guinao phil jackson

[10Guinao]

@zacj15 Thank you boy. I Love Bulls.

[manuknapatai]

those days were the best of NBA~

[SuperBebe1983]

que estrellas del basquet del pasado y siguen vigentes en nuestra mente i love you jazz utha¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡los mejores karl y stockton los mejores de la nba

[halfhoosierhein]

how was #2 a better play than #3? it was just a terrible pass and pippen is good. should have been #1: Jordan's game 1 winner, #2 Stockton full-court pass over Malone's shoulder, #3 Kerr's game 6 winner -- i mean, if it's best plays. if it's "most important plays" then they got it right. but if it's best plays, they didn't get it right.

[funkykriz21]

great series- great memories, when I look back upon this series :) Now and 13 years ago- nba Where at 3 00 o clock in the mourning standing up and watching nba happens :):)

[FromDaHooDBoiz]

2nd action is awsome/amazin most tragical im ever seen damn!

[FilipinoBacon]

Epic Series.

[AriLouisShow]

Really #4 was the most important. It set up the double team in game 6 which allowed Kerr to hit his shot (#1) play and Scottie's steal and Kukoc's dunk (#2) play. Scottie played great in this series, Jordan himself said he (Scottie) was his m.v.p.

[jayflo41]

Nr. 6 is nasty

[peaksideprince]

number 5 was great, but it also was a carry

[Naraku95]

That's not a carry, he picked up his dribble and took the steps he's allowed before putting up the shot.

[peaksideprince]

he was holding the ball, jus watch it again u see he dribbles then takes the ball under his arm then goes for the fade .

[Naraku95]

It doesn't matter what you do with the ball once you pick up your dribble, as long as you shoot or pass after your second step. Check the rulebook.

[Oftenezeefachezee]

not even remotly close to a carry

[PEPEelZAPATISTA]

you retard... that was not carry... i spam you muahaha

[Loomes23]

what A series... THATS NBA BASKETBALL

[moemoney111]

Is it  just me or did all their games go down to the last wire, very entertaining series.

[rjm22nd]

I remember a year ago I had a really bad stomach virus where I missed 2 days of work and couldn't get out of bed. For Michael Jordan to do what he did in the Flu Game is the most unreal and un........ .. damn can't think of any other words, xcpt Jordan's wasn't human

[chrisuncleahmad]

IMO, Utah would have beaten any team in the East other than those Bulls.

[Clone0005]

im not saying the bulls dont deserve all those titles they won they were great but the 98 finals the jazz would have won if the reffs werent idiots stocktons 3 pointer was so in the air by the time the buzzer rang and that was a push at the end the bulls deserve their glory but the jazz deserve more glory then their remembered for.

[JohnMUTDMazzawi]

true, but how do you know the jazz woul've won game 7?

[peaksideprince]

even if that game didnt count, the bulls would have still won the series

[pokemonrules159]

serving up a facial!!!!

[supremecist]

how the fuck is pippen's dunk on malone at #10? the order of the plays is just downright retarded.

[bashmo]

the bulls is the most legendary team to ever play in the NBA i swear!

But for real John Stockton is the man, especially with Malone on his side.

[Naraku95]

That Stockton/Malone combo was a deadly one. Two of the best of that era. They just had the misfortune of having to deal with some guy by the name of Michael Jordan. :D

[andyk6925]

Agreed, Stocton and Malone definetly deserved a title, but im glad the Bulls won.

[robbizial]

I think that the Bulls had that mental edge over their opponents. Thats what made them so good.

[at1212b]

Yup... they also destroyed Shaq and KB.

[Naraku95]

The Bulls never beat that combination in the Finals. When the Bulls played the Lakers in the '91 Finals, neither guy was even in the league.

[at1212b]

Sorry, I was referring to MJ and Pippen beating Stockton and Malone (whom subsequently destroyed Shaq and Kobe twice). Those were heavyweight matchups. I really wanted Stockton to win one before it was all over. Too bad he played in the Magic, Bird and Jordan era.

And sure, it was Kobe's younger years, but either way, the record still stands.

[gioulesalonika]

@Naraku95 what about Scottie Pippen...????Stockton/Malone had to face jordan and pippen...two of the greatest(if not the greatest) of that era.....

[MichRockHop81108]

@Naraku95 thats why I love that era, cause the guys that didnt win championships were amazing and just as cool

[linkinparkrocks123]

@Naraku95 they were really good :D but it wasnt MJ all by himself. Pippen also needs his credits for his plays too :D

[LALkobebryantLAL]

i dun tink its the big 3, its the big 4!

kerr is the 4 .

mj, scottie, rodman and kerr .. unbeatable !!

[SergioRenatoReyes]

bulls!!!.. pippen and jordan are great players^^..

[kadry93]

damn man mj was the best in that series

[XXALLSTAR007XX]

DUH!!!

[Skilllzzzzzzzzzzzzzz]

@kadry93 What series is he not the best in?

[ginwai]

I managed to miss this series. I genuinely thought Jordan was going to cramp up and dribble shit down his leg for number 5.

[snuffwitch]

I MISS THOSE DAYS

[dimedropper1992]

DONT ONLY THANK MJ THANK THE WHOLE BULLS TEAM!!! PIP HARP LONGLEY KUKOC KERR BUCHLER ALL THOSE GUYS BILL WENNINGTON ALL THT SHIT!

THAT MY FRIEND IS THE BEST TEAM EVER ASSEMBLED! bullz Jordan era

[wiredshock]

wow! goosebumps!

#5 (game 5): the flu game. jordan's most amazing game! sheer will & determination!

#1 (game 6): during the timeout, kerr told jordan that if you need me i'll be ready.. what happens next? jordan gets doubled then finds kerr for the shot-clock beating jumper that gave them the lead with 5 sec left

#2 (game 6): the pippen steal, then dive pass to kukoc for the dunk with the clock winding down! oh man, so many memories! lol

what a dynasty! thx mj for all the memories!

[kinfolk441]

The flu game should've been #1.

[pcorf]

This was one of the best NBA Finals series' ever.

[nypacers]

anybody kno the same of the song????

[labestia14]

that dunk at #10 changed the curse of the flu game... Pippen played a very important role for the Bulls... awesome.

[maurogidu]

thanks!!!, those games were unbelievable,

[joshtheking2345]

jordans flu game is for sure the best but wtvr everyhting ahead of that in this vid was awesome too

[Warmanns]

This is one of the worst order's i have ever seen! In what order will Jordan's flu game, one of the best games in NBA History, be number 5?!?! Ridiculous! Great vid though - luv Pip's facial on Malone - POSTER!!!

[jarodsimon]

Agreed, a stockton pass to malone is better than the flu game? Pathetic.

[ricer4300]

the jazz were definitely were worthy adversaries in the 1997 finals that year... it wasnt a case of the bulls out-playing the jazz.. but in most situations a matter of bad luck!

i love the bulls though!

[jordanesquemike]

pippen's dunk at #10 was sickkkkkkkkkkkk!!!

[dipship31]

The order at the top is horrible. Should've went #4 Pippen's steal, #3 Kerr's game winner, #2 Stockton to Malone, #1 Jordan's GW in Game 1.

[hornean]

Michael Jordan's buzzer-beater in Game 1 came at #4; Stockton's long pass to Malone in Game 4 came at #3; Pippen's steal in the final seconds of Game 6 came at #2; moments earlier, Steve Kerr's game-winner came at #1

[jordanlover23]

I've been looking for the musical theme played during highlight #7 FOREVER. Any idea who the composer is?

[diegoris23]

Sorry..i Dont know...see ya!

[Comalies1986]

@jordanlover23  I believe it's Sam Spence...A New Game

[jordanlover23]

@Comalies1986 Thanks dude, but I'm not sure. I just searched for and listened to that song on youtube and while it sounds very similar in terms of the notes used, the instrumentation sounds very different. Maybe this one is a remix of it or something?  There's also another NBA related song I'm dying to find the composer of - it's heard on the video "Airtime: The Jordan Years" during the highlights of the 1992 Knicks/Bulls series. Wish I could find it.
