Is this the game where Jordan faced up Stith near the top of the key, took one hard dribble left, spun immediately around him back to his right, then went up for a finger roll but was fouled by McDyess? It was either against Denver or Golden State; not sure if it was this game. Amazing move. You'd think after Pippen got about 10 baskets off the backdoor cut from the corner when the post was fed, that the Nuggets would catch on lol.

haha you getting all this just from memory?? i had a look - couldnt find it on the game - maybe i missed it

[Rodzilla97]

because the goal of a basketball game is to win. 50+ doesnt matter. if you end up with 50+ playing smart team basketball, cool. but players shouldnt go out and hotdog it gunnin for 50+ for their ego, like kobe does

Thanks for posting this! It's about time Pippen got some love!

It should be alot easier to score when MJ is on your team and he's drawing attention from every player on the other team.Scottie is an all time great true but he's no where as good as Jordan. He reminds me alot of Lebron great in the open court, slashing,dunking and defense.Scottie had flaws too he was an inconsistent shooter and had no go to shot just like Lebron. Unless you count his off the glass shot which was similar to Tim Duncan's. Only thing he was consistent doing was locking ppl down!

jordan was like i don't even have to be here Pippen to HOT lol

MJ n Scottie. best combo ever

[mbrown187]

I really thought Ron Harper fit nicely on this team with his great passing and shot selection. Definitely one of my favorite under-discussed players. And I think Scottie Pippen is a close-second for best Bulls players behind MJ.

this team is so beautiful to watch. that's real basketball right there!

love how Jordan finished with 12 assists while letting Pippen go for 47, and I believe 5 or 6 other Bulls had double digit points.

and how could one person dislike this? must have been Bryant Stith.

this team is so great ... a lot of role players .. look at rodman all he have to do is to rebound and make a screen for his team mate ... als0 kerr for 3 bomb kukoc ... and longley .. harper tough defender for PG ... the greatest team in NBA

[BIGBOSS1983100]

1 person was a nuggets fan, lol. Pippen should have went for 70 pts.
