Bulls vs. Rockets: 1996 (72-10 season)

http://youtube.com/Scottie33Pippen

Scottie Pippen scored 28 points and added 12 boards to lead the Bulls to a victory over the Houston Rockets to improve their record to a record-breaking 39-3. Michael Jordan had a miserable shooting game but still chipped in baskets off the offensive boards while Kukoc and Kerr had strong games off the bench. Hakeem Olajuwon (31 points and 9 boards) and Clyde Drexler (23 points, 5 boards, and 5 assists) carried the Rockets for as long as they could but Rodman's strong defense was able to hold Olajuwon to 2 points in the final quarter as the Bulls pulled away.

if this is really you and your channel Mr. Pippen i just wanna say that i still wish to this day that the 96 bulls had played against the 95 rockets. That would have been one of the greatest finals of all time. And i'm talking about jordan vs olajuwon in there prime.

@blove8201 I hate to say it but the 96 bulls would have roflstomped the 95 rockets just as hard as the 96 rockets. To be perfectly blunt. The only reason the 96 finals even went 6 games is cause Jordan really wanted to win that one on Father's Day,

A lot of the players today and superstars for that matter would have had much trouble playing in the NBA in the 70s, 80s, and 90s. I think the mentality of players have changed. The rules have changed over the years too. One is no hand checking, which makes it almost impossible for a defender to guard his man one on one, and the other the offensive foul in the lane... ever since Vlade Divac. Sometimes I just wanna say "play tough d and stop crying to the refs all the time."

@Doc1point21gigawatts i know man, we can only watch these golden years of basketball from the 70s, 80s and 90s. it ended after that. and your right about basketball players acting like movie stars with their tattoos and shit. like the old days the only person that was "out" there was Rodman. But like people should look at the Legend MJ and see that he had no marks on his body. He worked and studied hard and was determined to be the best.

@nigmafrost I could not agree with you more man..I too miss old school ball, ball now a days just does not have that flavor that ball back in the day had...The players today act like fucking stuck up movie stars...still good ball, just does not have the same feeling..

[nigmafrost]
