Bulls vs Knicks ending the NBA on NBC

[mikesmoove49]

Those Knicks jerseys were ugly. i miss the old school ones.

[ElTrain61]

Whoa, Van Gundy has hair! Damn!

[xover76]

Nick Anderson was a marquee player???

[laurenandmac]

@xover76 hahahahaahahah lol hahahahahahaha he def up there like he was putting 27 up every night lol

[86henry]

Back when Basketball was legit.

[MrCHITOWN247]

Glad im not the onlyone that thinks NBC rules and Espn sucks ass when it comes to the NBA and college football and monday night football and,,etc

[b800ful]

I MISS THE 90's!!!! I want my childhood back.

[FutureNewsAnchor]

0:34-0:39 It's "Sabrina the Teenage Feminist," tonight on NBC!

[magicoke1]

abc theme song for can never beat nbc theme song for NBA

[btone31]

@magicoke1 Should be ABC themes since they used different ones before the current one. NBC had one, and that beats ABC/ESPN themes.

[AntonSlizzardhands]

The 90's!!!

[thatdudecozz89]

NBC and CBS were the BEST networks to cover NBA Basketball. TNT/TBS were/are pretty good, but ABC/ESPN needs to bye-bye.

[redskins2k]

@thatdudecozz89 on one likes ESPN and their on air talent

[snappy452]

Jeff Van Gundy was the only man in human history to go without sleep for 9 years

[advancedc2]

hell yeah i agree with u PEPEelZAPATISTA

[statboy08]

Bring back NBA on NBC. you know you want to David Stern. Here's the thing - Costas has always been a straight shooter. Would Costas call out Lebron and Kobe like he has with several players and teams his monologues during halftime of the NFL games? I think he would and I dont think Stern would want to take the risk of that happening to his great marketing chip right now. Also, if the CBA negotiations go too long will the TV partners back out of their deals like the TV partners did with the NHL?

[Nebel64]

Why dont you suck MJ's nutts, Bob Costas

[JeterSwisherFan88]

ESPN is ESPN in my book, not this "ESPN on ABC" stuff.

[nybigboy57]

NBA on NBC was the bomb. ABC sucks balls. ABC should have kept bowling, boxing, and auto racing. ESPN on ABC my ass.

[hswieca]

did anyone watch "silencing mary" with melissa joan hart?

[pop2k10mb]

Great way 2 exit the world most famous arena.......

[Trinidadian125]

Watching this is like opening up a pack of basketball cards and getting a MJ auto. Yes, it's that good.

[MrSayitagain]

NBC = National Basketball Channel

[geeisthisnametaken]

Silencing Mary lol

[NJDevils015]

Roundball Rock theme song....ABC/ESPN are you listening?

[HFsX]

Regional coverage... ABC are you listening?

[horatiocaine1988]

That riff at the end is the SHIT.

[cmurph2845]

we need marv albert back!

[PEPEelZAPATISTA]

NBA on NBC in the 90's... some of the best times of my life!

[realtalkjohnny]

i feel you man..bob costas and albert gave me chills

[bronxrell]

Ewing was injured throughout the year but NY had heart and made the playoffs and made it to the 2nd round

[guiqui5]

I remember when the NBA was on CBS, and then one day there was a headline in the newspaper that read, "NBC steals NBA from CBS"

[BallinNQnz]

The NFL is still big. The NBA was definitely was the most popular in the 90's. Like hip hop, the NBA has gone down since then. The NHL was also popular until the mid-90's but then went into a rapid decline. MLB has made a solid comeback since the 90's, but is still #2 to the NFL.

[redskins2k]

Sports suck now a days. College ball is 10 times worse due to athletes leaving early

NFL sucks due to the salary cap.

NBA sucks due to leaving NBC

NHL sucks due to leaving ESPN

[BallinNQnz]

The salary cap in the NFL creates for unpredictable seasons, which makes for high ratings. The NBA sucks bc the talent is not there anymore. The NHL jus does not promote the sport like it should.

[masterfreestyler187]

well said, nba on nbc was what is was all about

[maddenmaniac5]

man u can never replace the 90's, the nfl and nba were the two bets things ever created. Thats wen ppl actually played for the love of the game but nowadays its all about money and if u even injure your damn finger your out for like 3 weeks, wtf bring back the 90's

[donjabroni]

the 90s suck, thank god it's dead.

[roflcopter117]

Back in those days people loved the NBA and the NHL. The NBA was close to being #1 among the "big four" leagues.

[thopkin12000]

We all loved the NBA on NBC. But ABC has a deal with the the NBA until 2016. Fuck!!

[XXGB34]

but even if they do bring it back it wont be as great as it was obv, just the nba is not that good now

[42gameover]

I agree. But it would still be good to get it off ABC.

[chrismzac]

yeah, u right... but it's starting to get good again...that iverson/marbury/kobe/me me me era fucked the league up... now its getting good again.

[Highflyerone]

I was such a basketball fan back then, the NBA had it all, the players, the rivalries, the TV deal (NBA on NBC)....those were the days.

[jbench14]

the nba on nbc was the best for nba basketball i wished they bring that back!!!

[jbench14]

michael jordan was the greatest chicago bull player ever!!!

[MHballa88]

the biggest duhhh statement of all time lol

[Domini478]

fuck that...MJ is the greatest...period!!!

[Geolink2349]

LOL at Isiah Thomas commentating at the Garden no less

[AnishaD23]

Silencing Mary= Classic

[televisionjunkie]

Man, I wish they would bring back the NBA on NBC, that would be the greatest thing

[hPeAiUdLe]

i miss that tune. the best there was.

[FreshWesss]

No, all I meant was that it was an NBA on NBC ending. I know NBC's last game was in 2002.

[Pitino4Pres]

This is far from the end of the NBA on NBC. It's Jordan's last game at the Garden as a Bull.

[slimtony06]

i have to beg to differ to that

[thopkin12000]

Hard to believe this was almost 10 years ago.....

[essquared24]

damn great quality

[jerseyboy18]

i dont kno wat u r talkn bout chinhood but the bulls won & thats all that matters

[chinhood]

one more thing dummy if you are allowed to "guard" the ball, how come games aren't 170-169 every night, since the attackers will have their hand out all day shielding away the defenders, there would no more steals, oh i know, how about they push also, since they move away the defenders any time. idiot

[chinhood]

dummy u make no sense. you can guard the ball with your off hand AS LONG as you are not deliberately using it to move the defender away from the ball, because they have as much right for the ball as the attacker.

[chinhood]

you're probably one of those "fans who was a bulls fan in the 90's, but decided to flip flop once they sucked. can't take you seriously

[austin316ns]

chinhood stfu your allowed to guard the ball

[agentk1986]

Knicks fans were always upset that they didn't have MJ. Instead, they were stuck with Patrick Ewing and the "no rings" Knicks dynasty of the 90's. And the Knicks were always known for being dirty so frankly Jordan's "left arm" was nothing compared to the crap Riley had his team do. aggressive defense my behind!

[XtodaZ]

THE BETTER TEAM WON

[tmoney519]

Watch the play again man, Ward got turned up and out, Jordan didn't push him at all. He put the juke on and Charlie was done haha.

[chinhood]

since when did it become legal dumbass? thats like giving a moving screen to yourself when you use your arms ILLEGALLY. oh yeah but of course jordan didnt push byron russell to get seperation in the finals right? take jordan out of your mouth alright.

[sfhguibnbhq]

that wasn't a blatant push you fucking moron. He put out his guard arm which is perfectly legal. How old are you, 12?

[chinhood]

shut the hell up! because i saw something with my own eyes like a blatant push i've never played basketball before. get off jordans dick.

[pooper1212]

Congrats Chinhood. You've never played basketball in your life.

[austin316ns]

lamoooo

[chinhood]

Nice job by Jordan using that left arm ILLEGALLY to shield charlie ward. damn jordan could punch someone in the stomach to get the ball and there still wouldn't be a foul called.

[JZ2001JC]

@chinhood. Oh my goodness you think that the play that started at 0:47 is a Pushoff on MJ??? HEck I don;t think MJ even touched Ward there. You must have rules mixed up---in todays NBA they call that a foul since the rules turned pansy. BAck then they let you play a tough man's game. And LOL MJ pushed off on Russell in the 98 FInals??? If that is a foul then BAsketball is ruined. HEck even in todays Pansy rulebook of the NBA that wouldn't be a foul (MJ final shot over made vs Russell).

[WorldOfSnakes]

@JZ2001JC Next time tell them MJ's move on Russell is called an Ankle Breaker, maybe they'll learn something.

[WAGNER012786]

1998

[jerseyboy18]

wat year is this?

[celticsboy07]

michael destroyed new york

[rsxtreme]
