1996 Playoffs - Jordan clutch against the Knicks.

Jordan brings his heroics back once again, displaying his ever present drive and ability to win. He sends this one to OT with a deep, off balance three and some nice plays to close out an 8 point deficit with a minute and a half to play.

It's the playoffs in the 1990's. Not "touch me and it's a foul".

I have to agree with the notion that Stern ruined the game. In the 90's teams werent afraid to play rough. You could hand check on the guards and the physical style of gameplay was real basketball with real rivalries. Not this crap now days where ABC and ESPN try and make the current day Lakers and Celtics the same type of rivalry that those two teams were in the 80's. Its all a ratings game rather than the authenticity of the game. It is very sad

@bridogg23 Couldn't of said better myself

@delfra70 true that.

@frusionnn This why MJ is the GOAT, this man never quited, no matter what. The Bulls made have lost this game, but they never gave up being down 13 points late in the 4th quarter.

[frusionnn]

ten points, in just 2:21. that is just INCREDIBULL! < notice how I spelled that. finished the game with 46 points.

[delfra70]

@frusionnn You're right about that. The Bulls did'nt have that big explosive punch coming off the bench for them in this game, and still nearly won it. MJ and the Bulls were amazing, and as you can see here, they were never out of any game and they made up deficits really fast. But yeah, if Kukoc did not miss this game, the Knicks would have been swept as opposed to getting taken out in 5 games.

[FanOfTheDoraemons]

fuck man, MJ wasn't afraid to go for the steal, and both teams played hard. Today everytime you go for a steal it's always a reach-in foul for some reason :P

[frusionnn]

everybody knows the Bulls lost this game because Toni Kukoc was out with an injury that happened during practice before game 3. or else the Bulls would have swept their way to the finals in the '96 playoffs seeing as this was their only loss before the finals. just like the '01 Lakers swept their way to the finals.
