1997 NBA Finals Jazz vs. Bulls Game 6 (part 1)

It seems most people prefer the 1993 Suns/Bulls final to the 1997 one, but I have to respectfully disagree. The 1997 classic between the Jazz and the Bulls was full of high drama. You had Michael Jordan's game-winner in Game 1, John Stockton's steal and pass in Game 4, the flu game in Game 5 and Steve Kerr's shot in Game 6. You had the league's MVP playing against the game's greatest player. You had close games. You had two teams that would never again be as good. They did meet again in 1998, but that wasn't nearly as much of a series.

This is Game 6, and oops, I kind of gave away the ending. Enjoy.

I miss the days when tuning in to NBA on NBC was the usual. people actually played defense. The games really gone down the tubes recently.

Eh, 98 was good, but there was the huge blowout in Game 3 which made it less competitive.

Also, there really wasn't much of a chance for Utah to win. They won Game 1, but when they fell behind 3-1, it really hurt their chances. In 97, the series was tied at 2 before the flu game. It was anyone's series at that point.

@sunshinebutmorerain Other than New York or Indiana, Jordan was pretty good at making sure the series never got to a game 7 since 1990.

@JZ2001JC Are you kidding me? Stern's boys let Rodman get away with murder in both series.

@JimenezLeon Noo, this is when basketball was good, less whining and complaining and go play defense and offense and work as a team and quit being ball hogs as they have them today....Kobe,Lebron and etc. There both good players, but Lebron will never win a title and Kobe is so cocky and is so concieted and thinks he is the best ball playe rin NBA history, lol that's hilarious comparing Kobe to Jordan, that is a funnk joke to me. :)
