LMAO!! THE ONE COMMENTATOR SUCKS!!! LOL!!! NO!! EMOTIONS AT ALL & WOULD CONTRADICT HIS SELF ABT EVERYTIME HE OPEN HIS ANNOYING MOUTH....
today basketball is 10x better
I like this commentary
1:32:32 "Utah has to now deal with the fact that Jordan has re-entered the basketball game. In fact a rested Michael Jordan. MJ:"I'm inevitable"
I remember being at that game one of the best days in my life
greatest intro of any sports team ever !!!
chills
damn what a team
That shot by Steve Kerr!! didn't hit the ring the shot was so smooth!!and end up by still and a dunk!!and a champion!!WOW
1:51:09 Scottie Pippen's pass to Toni Kukoc. I bet Kukoc mumbled, "Hey Pip, where was that pass to me in Game 3 against the Knicks in 1994?"
I honestly believe they would have had 7 straight if Michael did not leave
So weird...i paused it and looked it up and it was bison from the crime shows. What a beast.
Jery slone good guy man and grate coach back then. Rip man love the guy
I'm 56 and still wish I was blessed like that, Mike is a freak of nature.
I'm 38, and still think I could be like Mike.
Well played Jazz, maybe next year 😛
Michael Jordaaaaannnn
Impresionante la cantidad de tiros errados por ambos equipos, Kerr y Kukoc para ser buenos tripleros lanzaron muy poco!
I love how the Bulls have never once changed their logo. Stuck with it all these years
The good old days when the world was great and the nba was still nba, JORDAN THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME!
I'll never forget that last steal by pippen and pass to kucoc. What a moment. You had to see it live
The jazz still waiting for restart the game...still 0.06 in clock time...
charles barkley vs dennis rodman
nba players have evolved nowadays. these players just look inferior to what we witness today. this era is overrated. look at whos defending jordan.. russell and hornacek!! WTFF. MJ never faced a player that can drop 50 on a given night. nowadays u have lillard, durant, kyrie, jimmy butler, lebron, luka, giannis etc etc .. talent like this simply didn't exist in the 90's.
@Ned Schneebly Players were not taller then. And there was def 3 seconds then. What are you talking about? Then you name a bunch of guys who didn't play Jordan's position 😂 And what was Dominique doing in 1997? That's the problem with the 90s era; a bunch of old 80s stars still dominating. Just proves how weak the competition was.
Troll fail. Ewing, Barkley, 'Nique, Bird, Olajuwon, Shaq, Robinson, Malone, and Drexler all could drop 50 on any given night. Please. Players were taller on average in that era. MJ had more impressive physique than anyone playing today. There were hall of fame centers clogging the lane and protecting the rim. You could play physical defense. There was no defensive 3-second, and zones were not allowed. The 80s and 90s were so much touhger than today it's hilarious. That's not even to mention how you can get away with 4 steps today lol.
1:39:15 blunder of the century
@Sparsh Kapar he has a defender on that one. The first one he's all alone but still do the stupid reverse
1:46:01 is even worse :')
players are far more skilled today fasho lol not even close.
@GramOfAdderall u still stuck in the 90s old man.. its okay to accept that time evolves everythhingy
Players are clearly better today. Watching this makes me appreciate today's game even more.
@GramOfAdderall there is no spacing because there was no good shooter back then
@QobSha Static defense, haha. Is that why the best players on each team are having to shoot fadeaways and hooks all game? They’re the only shots that are neigh unguardable, but hardest to hit, and it’s out of necessity. Rodman is leaning into Malone the entire game to keep him out of the paint. This is a finals game score in the 80 point range, first 5 minutes like 4 total points scored. The defense on both teams is insane. You don’t see that sort of pressure anymore, because half of it isn’t allowed.
@GramOfAdderall comon the defense here looks completly static, no movement
Jordan made the right play. The difference is Jordan support case was and will always be better then lebrons supporting case. When lebron makes the right play and his teammates don't pull through he gets criticism from the media turning it into the wrong play lolol smh
Im here cuz i was so fortunate to watch this amazing team. Now even lakers here up 3-1 over the Heat is not the same anymore. Chicago Bulls forever. \m/
The heat would beat this sorry ass Jazz team
What a joy watching the games of the Chicago era... none like this in today’s game!
Fr the game was played so much differently it was way more aggressive
What a difference maker Rodman was. His defense and picks setup Chicago to take the lead and win.
Houston Rockets could beat that team. Bulls had no answer for Hakeem.
Yeah probably.. sadly they couldn't reach the finals when MJ was playing. It would have been interesting. I'm also a Hakeem fan, but it will still be the same result I think, no team had answer for MJ too for the entire stretch of the 90's. You could argue that Rockets had better head2head against the Bulls during the regular season, but you know what makes MJ+Pip great? Their numbers and performances always get better in the Playoffs, cant say the same for the Rockets players.
I remember this game . I had 3 min to make it to work lol. I lived close so i made it but the last plays stuck in my head over the yrs . I miss the Bulls of the 90’s . The game hasnt been the same since Jordan retired
THAT was THE defence. first 4 minutes and just 2 point for each team...
If u notice something about the 1997 and 98 finals the bulls were always down but managed to return and win
Defense
By the intro alone utah lost the game! Man i feel weird when i hear that voice and that song!
No easy basketball pure hassle neither teams won't give up
Watching Jordan makes u realize how untalented shaq was . Every shot Jordan takes is so hard , all skill and all Shaq did was bully his way in wit his big size and dunk . Zero skill . Can’t make a free throw or jump shot to save his life .
Shaq had great footwork. However, his Lakers teams were "favored" a little too much, the Sacramento Kings were cheated twice, in the playoffs, against Lakers and crooked officiating.
yes and you can never see those skills in lebron
I understand what your saying.Not many players period will have the arsenal that MJ had let alone shaq.But in shaq's favour he had size,strenght and power and he was very mobile.That's what he used and that's what made him great.He'd be a fool if he tried to emulate MJ.You got to play to your strengths and that's what he did!
Shaq was extremely skilled there was many big centers who didn’t do much in their career because they were unskillful just because someone can’t shoot doesn’t make him unskillful
Shaq was skilled ,watch his feet. And try to post in real life
1:53 SEC THATS BULL SHIT LMAOO
I quit watching after the breakup of the Bulls in 98'. Back then, and before (Johnson/Bird), was when the game was amazing to watch.
They have a promising future now
same exactly!
I stopped watching 2... I think I started watching in 01 afterwards
The nba still is amazing to watch, although the league is more 3 point oriented, there are still really fun players to watch
This Chicago Bulls team was stacked as fuck. If the N.Y. Knicks top guys like Starks, Oakley, Buck Williams and Charlie Ward didn’t get suspended in that years brawl with P.J. Brown and Alonzo Mourning and other Miami Heat players, I think this Knicks team of 1997 absolutely would’ve given this Chicago Bulls team an absolute run for their money.
Lol Jazz Coach snubbed pippen after they won. Wouldn’t hug him.
I was at the bar at the time with my best friends watching the game. 17 at the time and we were yelling loud af for DA BULLS!
The Real GOAT in the NBA history as a Bulls player.
bad game by Luc Longley but Brian Williams is there!
Its steve kerr game championships... part that change the game...but chicago bulls as a team...pippen on the early quarters...utah jazz played it for three rounds until they collapsed...video feels like its 1997.. i can still feel it...
1:48:40 The best of the best..
Costumes aren't the same anymore!
los toros de chicago es y seguiran siendoo una dinastia de todas todas y con el mejor del mundooo michael jordan era un buen equipo pipen,jordan,kukoc,rodman y longley
マローンがここまでフリースローはずすとは！それが勝敗に影響したのは否定できませんね
The jazz NEVER had a chance!
did you see that??? fourth quarter 4:28 left, series of depression following with a force of conquer!!!
All I see at 4:28 left in the 4th quarter is a foul on russell lol
Kukoc deserve to be his number retired and inducted to NMBHOF
Стив Керр стал.. .
Родман красавчик. Терпит.
I forget who the other commentator was, but is it me or did he keep saying Utar?.
It was Bernard King, he played for the Knicks.
Jazz were the last old white guy team I ever saw get this far.
2011 Mavs ? ?
MJ the GOAT
Stockton to mailman最高
wow. shandon anderson really blew it for utah. jerry sloan had no other options?
@BuckyTheBull didn't know that. that's unfortunate.
If there's anything to blame in Utah's game, it will always be Malone's freethrows. He's been in the league for so long and never got better.
Shandon at the time had lost his dad only a few days/weeks ago. To an extend, his performance could be justified by the mourning of his dad.
Dennis Rodman♡♡♡
Brian Williams playing for the Bulls in this one, and winding up getting a Championship ring. Nobody ever mentions that he would go on to change his name to BISON DELE after this season, and wind up being murdered at sea by his older brother, who also murdered Williams' girlfriend and the ships' captain. Miles Dabord ( William's brother) would wind up slipping into a coma, and dying as well.😫😫😫
I remember that
@LTATJ's JaYs You don't know what the fuck you're talking about... Brian Williams changed his name to Bison Dele, just like I said... and only had one Championship win with the Chicago Bulls before being murdered by his brother. Get the fuck out of here
Wow, all these years I've forgotten how much of an awful start this game had
Utah's last play should have been a typical Stockton-Malone play. What bumbling.
We tried that in 98 and look what happened 👀
For hoopers... floaters, step back, fade away, hook shot are all unguardable
only real ones know.
Dont forget the finger roll george "iceman" gervin was an absolute master at that!!!
I like Jordan he's my man
@Harold R. Bettencourt III yeah true
If u notice something about the 1997 and 98 finals the bulls were always down but managed to return and win
Song s name 1:48:00 ?
@BuckyTheBull More precisely, it's a song by Gary Glitter - Rock And Roll. One part of it is just "Hey", the other is with the text. I give a link to a video where they are listed together: ispast.info/losk/v-deo/bICAYGfU2XqZrZw.html
@jj peters You are awesome man! Been looking for this since 1997!
@BuckyTheBull I finally found it. The Hey Song
I believe these are arena specific songs to hype up the crowd. Tried looking for it, but unfortunately I don't know. If anyone knows, please post it
The Zen Master Phil just laughing in the sideline like nothing is happening. Hehe!
