Oh brother! The 90’s had some of the worst teams in history. That was no gem of an era; the 80’s was. The only thing propping up the 90’s is MJ worship. One of the biggest floppers in the history of the NBA is Dennis Rodman and he did get calls. You have always had players who would bait others. What’s the big deal about a no charge zone? Cigarette Sponsors!!! influencing people to smoke and get lung lung cancer. Nothing good about that. Players adapt to the era they play in. The current crop would have been just fine in the 90’s. The irony is the league got “soft” to protect MJ. If you blew on the man it was a foul. Why can’t we just enjoy the game and not compare all the time. If anything these are this is the most talented set of players I have ever watched, across the board that is. The addition of so many great international players is also a great joy.

I saw a regular season NBA game between the Sixers and Lakers in 1982 that went to OT. Kareem had over 40 points. As I watched I realized why I barely watch the games now. The 80's and 90's were incredible. The 3 point shot has over time ruined the game. I think the court has to get bigger or they've got to eliminate the corner threes; something to end this 3 point contest that it's devolved into.

Players are too highly paid. You have Duncan Robinson making more on his last deal than most of these guys made for their entire careers. Do you think they actually give a fuck if they win or lose? Does LeBron even look like he cares if he wins when he is taking at least a dozen defensive plays off in an elimination game? Players really only care about their stat sheet, and the way the game is handled facilitates stat padding to keep those players happy.

Oh brother! The 90’s had some of the worst teams in history. That was no gem of an era; the 80’s was. The only thing propping up the 90’s is MJ worship. One of the biggest floppers in the history of the NBA is Dennis Rodman and he did get calls. You have always had players who would bait others. What’s the big deal about a no charge zone? Cigarette Sponsors!!! influencing people to smoke and get lung lung cancer. Nothing good about that. Players adapt to the era they play in. The current crop would have been just fine in the 90’s.

Just the league and presence of big men in the paint back then....Lebron as big as he is. ....guys would have got In his face an let him know in those days.

@@CS-np2oo The point is Lebron only has moments when he can just make things happen and take the win. Jordan did it constantly, and other than the first run after he came back after baseball, he never failed the big moments. He just didn't. The the game was brutal back then. Lebron has had the advantage of a far less physical NBA, and he's still only looking up at Jordan.
They were so much bigger, stronger and faster. That's why you had finesse players like Jordan, Pippen, Payton and Olajuwon. Skill players like Magic, Kobe Stockton and Kidd; and over the top players like Bird, Miller and Mullin. The bigs... Olajuwon, Ewing, Robinson, Shaq, Mourning, Mutumbo, McCale, Parish, Kareem, Walton, Kemp, jeeez and that's not all.
Yep I agree. Kobe is the only one who could fuck with Jordan.
LeBron is nowhere near top 6 😂😂
After watching this again, Jordan’s fadeaway is truly the best amongst any other players, it takes a lot of skill to consistently hit those and make them look easy. Unfortunately I don’t remember this as I was a baby however I will never forget the 1998 bulls championship and how the city went crazy celebrating after Jordan hit the most highlighted shot in history.
That feeling that we knew we were going to win, no matter what happened. Because we had MJ. I've never had that feeling in sports since.
We had 1 year in Phoenix like that with Barkley
Same!
ESPN's 30 for 30 series needs to highlight the Bulls/ Knicks rivalry. The ratings would be off the charts. The 30 for 30 show highlighting the Pistons bad boyz era was great...had me rolling
This is the NBA I remember!!!! Amazing!
7:50 is the reason jordon is the GOAT so competitive..
90’s knicks vs bulls were the shit. The best nba series ever in history!
Only twice in the championship seasons did the Bulls go to a game 7, here against the Knicks, then against Pacers in 98 eastern conference finals. The 94 playoff series between them was a great series. I really thought the Bulls were going to be able to win that series. 90's playoffs rivalries between Bulls/Knicks, Knicks/Pacers, Suns/Rockets, Rockets/Sonics were great times.
@@Gabriela1Acevedo Jordan wasn't there in 94 playoffs, it's Pippen who brought his team to the 7th game, if Jordan was there, quite sure the Bulls will win that series...
@@Gabriela1Acevedo Don't forget those Heat/Knicks rivalries in the late 90s.
@@thedirtybubble9613 definitely. Every series went to the final game.
@@Gabriela1Acevedo to the final second. 😭
You tell me I have 1 game I have to win I’m taking MJ all day long. Guy was a killer. Absolute killer.
That's when basketball used to be fun to watch
Please, Knicks was crap.
w4ste nba was trash back then. Bulls were the only good team. And of course Magic Johnson & the Lakers.
Reggie Miller Isaiah Larry Bird the Ralph Sampson the twin towers Vinny Johnson coming off the bench shawn kemp Seattle the mailman and Stockton Barkley the wease good times.
Chris Cantrell you sure did name a lot of people who don’t have any rings lol. Ralph Sampson?!?!? Shawn Kemp is just a nostalgia name. All he did was dunk i.e. Blake Griffin.
@@ZaZaBlue811 you know why they dont have a ring? Because Jordan eliminated them!
I miss this era
I think Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen were the greatest NBA tandem of all time. For that matter maybe the greatest tandem of all time in all of sports!!!
I was too young to realize Pipen's greatness as well. Damn... HEART The whole team had heart.
Pippen one of the greats,perfect team man.Horrace Grant was very valuable as well with defense,boards and scoring.
Wait til you see them when they had Rodman, Kukoc, and Kerr..
rosselliswilkinson What?! He quit in game 3 vs the Knicks in 1994. Flat out quit. If that makes him great than you need your head examined
What greatness? Quitters don’t have any greatness
The bulls bench will destroy any girly team today.
They say Jordan only wins championship because he plays with allstars. He didn't. The team was just that good. They were trained to become more competitive and one of the biggest influence is MJ. They said he played practice game like its nba finals game 7. That hunger for victory sure made its way to his teammates mentality. You can see in this video how hungry they are. If they wanna fight they will and they will go toe to toe. Game 7 against a very dirty physical Knicks Team. Who would have thought. But still MJ and the Bulls managed.
bastardjustice Pippen, Grant, and Rodman were the only All-Stars Jordan ever played with on these Bulls teams. Hodges and Kerr both competed at All-Star Saturday for the 3-point contest(Hodges was a 2-time winner I believe), but they weren’t All-Star selections.Kukoc was an All-Star, but didn’t become an All-Star until he left Chicago. LeBron’s list of All-Star teammates include Love, Irving, Wade, Bosh, Allen, Chalmers, Haslem, Shaq, Jamison, and Zydrunas Ilgauskis.
..
The Knicks weren't dirty. Laimbeer was dirty.
Pippen was the only all star player he played with. Grant played in the all star game when Jordan was retired and Rodman was an all star in Detroit.
@@bigeric1030 have of them were out of their primes but kinda facts
The NBA was AMAZING back then. OMG. The physicality of the game. That's a man's game you're watching here. What happened today?!
I didn’t know it back then, but I was watching the best of the best play basketball ! These videos bring back great memories. Thanks for putting them up.
I saw a regular season NBA game between the Sixers and Lakers in 1982 that went to OT. Kareem had over 40 points. As I watched I realized why I barely watch the games now. The 80's and 90's were incredible. The 3 point shot has over time ruined the game. I think the court has to get bigger or they've got to eliminate the corner threes; something to end this 3 point contest that it's devolved into.
What a terrifying moment... you have to drive around Xavier McDaniel and then get double-teamed by Patrick Ewing and Charles the boss Oakley, Jordan has to be the toughest player ever!
You forgot about Anthony Mason
@@alaskan2001 yes, he stands his name
DID NOT BOTHER MJ.
And was not foul! But is was Jordan. Refs protected him. Poor Knicks.
Detroit made him that way & Detroit had Dennis Rodman back then
Jordan's move at 10:10 is pure poetry
The NBA on NBC was the best. These were great times.
I'm a fairly new basketball fan and have tried hard to get into the new guys and stay up on the modern players, but I keep finding myself coming back to the old school stuff every time. Too many rules and regulations and distractions in today's game honestly.
Today's NBA is sissyfied (no offense).
this is what rivalry games look like damn these were the good days
I agree.. today's NBA players a f-in pussies!
Bizzo Brigante they only play for cash not for a ring
David Horton Most of them do..
hell yeah hard in the paint.. no flooring.. just run-gun
no floping haha miss this physical game. most ate competitor not until today many are cry babies wahaha
As a bulls fan this series was grueling to watch start to finish. The Knicks really did take them to their limit. Once they got past the Knicks it was smooth sailing to another championship.
The Knicks were Joe Frazier to the Bulls Muhammad Ali.
@@3912James knicks won 51 game's in reg season so more like foreman vs ali. Frasier beat ali once.
respect as a knicks fan!
@@Jayhova89 and respect to the knicks for always giving mj trouble.
@@smokymcpot5917 always my ass
Forever classical and fun time's to watch.
The urgency is unreal. How can we get some of this back? The shoes, style of play , all of it.
Players are too highly paid. You have Duncan Robinson making more on his last deal than most of these guys made for their entire careers. Do you think they actually give a fuck if they win or lose? Does LeBron even look like he cares if he wins when he is taking at least a dozen defensive plays off in an elimination game? Players really only care about their stat sheet, and the way the game is handled facilitates stat padding to keep those players happy.
There are great players, and then there’s Michael Jordan
James B and the greatest
@Pepper Pots lol.... you're an idiot.
All day.
@Pepper Pots "his own people" lol what
To look at it a simply politics is short sighted. It was about opposing racism. One does have to be a politician to do that. The excuses made for Jordan are embarrassing. This is past fandom, this is worship.
It gives me goose bumps to see Michael Jordan step up to Xavier McDaniel! You can feel the intensity.. and it did motivate Michael to get in the Knicks ass.
People forget how good Horace Grant was . Watching these highlights Horace was spectacular especially on defense..
Shout out to Ewing. My favourite player. Man never stopped fighting and never quit on NY. Only HOFer on the squad and didnt change teams every two years like guys do now. Loyalty. Respect. Legend.
NBA in 1990's was fucking incredible. I not going to sit here and say that the 1990's was the best era, because I think anyone can have a solid argument for any era. But man, I can watch and be entertained by these videos over watching some of the NBA games of today.
mitube4u Actually the 90's was the best era of the NBA nowadays the NBA is not the same but it is what it is I'm glad I was born in the 80's and had the honer of watching this cool enjoyable games
@Joel Villarreal 90's*
90’s! Not even debatable.
@Joel Villarreal Nope. 90's
Я Русский и Ты прав НБА 90-ых лучше !!!
I remember being lucky enough to be at that game ..atmosphere was so fierce the cussing was crazy lol good times!!!
this was an amazing time in chicago. just has never been the same since then
Definitely. Also miss NBA on NBC. NBC really knew how to pump you up for a game.
Before KoBe, Duncan, Dirk, Iverson, Pierce, Spreewell Paul, Curry, Harden, Irving, Durant, The World & My ERA was Watching: Jordan Bulls, Stockton Jazz, Payton, Sonics Penny Magic, Miller Pacers, Ewing Knicks, Robertson Spurs, Morning Heats, Isaiah Pistons, Mutumbo Nuggets, Haseem Rockets, Bird Boston Magic Lakers Barkely Suns, Drexler Blazers Priceless Time for the love of the game.
Over 20 years old and you can still feel the intensity of this game.
I LOVED the Knicks back then, truly hardcore NY strong, but the Bulls had my RESPECT. You knew that a Knicks/Bulls matchup was going to be awesome.
7:53-8:06 - "Here's Jordan splitting through! Jordan with the steal! And then it's stolen by Starks. McDaniel, chased by Jordan; (Crowd goes wild) it's a CLEAN block!! Marv Albert with the call - couldn't have done it any better!! What a sequence by Jordan!
I started watching basketball in 1990 at 7 years old. Growing up watching this era of basketball was a literal honor
Watching this is better than the 2017 NBA finals!!
By far
Ronald Allen Preach!
WAYY BETTER
Tub girl is better than 2017/2018 finals !
#FACTS
Bulls vs Knicks rivalry was so epic in the 90s. Even in MJs 2nd prime in 96 I loved when they played eachother. So much passion and physical play. Starks made some ridiculous shots whenever he played the Bulls lol
Alot of so- called great players today, really would not even be "great" in this(Jordan's) era of basketball. I'm just glad im old enough to have watched " real" basketball, once upon a time....
What?💀 put a player like demar in this era, he’s averaging as much as Jordan. Put an even greater player like Lebron, he’s averaging a 49 point triple double. Especially since players were less skilled and athletic, and zone defense was illegal
The physicality and intensity of 90s basketball. No BS tick tack fouls. It was beautiful... I miss it very much..
this here was the epitome of 90's NBA basketball, super intense defense, nobody's backin down, gettin in each other's face, it's was truely competition at it's purest, back then everybody had that competitive nature.
damn the fire in the crowd is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!
Labum lasts 5 minutes at this pace. This is the highest level of basketball that will ever exist. No question! Blessed to have grown up in this era. Watched all these games live and to see these players put all their soul into their sport seriously shaped me as a person.
You sound dumb af
these 2 teams had great games against each other, very physical and epic. Marv's announcing and Magic's famous saying "who's game is it, it's Michael Jordan's game"🔥
7:52 Relentless! Michael doesn't take a shot and relaxed. He chases down the ball even after he lost it. Let's teach this to the next generation - Be committed. Give your all at all times.
I mean,so does flight
Those are the intangibles that separate him from someone like James Harden
Horace Grant was one incredible force!! 🤓💥....yes he was 👏✌
great power move to the basket- very quick!
pmdl23 👌
The Bulls lost a true PF and shot-blocker in Grant but traded with versatility
Horace grant is severely underrated.
The game was this intense in the FIRST QUARTER!
Unbelievable
This was the real finals of the season
tama unlike ngaun pre hehe..
stop comparing this man to anybody #MJGOAT
@Mentor Tairi same I'm only 14 but I live MJ
THERE WILL NEVER EVER EVER EVER!!! BE ANOTHER MICHAEL JORDAN!!!! HE IS AND WILL ALLWAYS BE THE GOAT!!!!!!! END OF STORY!!!
@@adampruitt9211 case closed!!👍
@@adampruitt9211 u cant predict the future like that
@@calebdejoun939 JORDAN RULES!!!!! CASE CLOSED!!!! THE END!!!!
Man I miss this era of basketball! So blessed to have been able to watch MJ play in person many times!
I was at that game. Turning point was the incredible MJ sequence where he scored, stole the inbound, got stripped, chased down X and knocked the ball away. The energy in the building went through the roof. My nail biting subsided a lot.
"Fuck you!"-MJ LMFAO
STFU and play lmaooo Beast mode
Who else is watching this 2020?
I am :)
Present
Me
Lebum🤣
Hopefully that ESPN joint leads more people to do their research and find out what we already know... MJ is the best of all time. Without a doubt. He was not human!!
Man those were the days, what a blast to watch.
Pigpens was a beast and Jordan’s jump shot is such a beautiful thing to watch
7:51 - 8:03 defines MJ as the GOAT. No Contest.
The best of the best.. I’m not from Chicago.. but the bulls were the shit in that era..
Bro the whole environment back then was just completely different.. Night and day difference.. The game and experience is just unforgettable.. I am so glad I got to experience the late 80's and 90's NBA as a kid.. I was able to see MJ vs the Knicks at MSG 5 times.. Never forget those experiences.
This was good aggressive basketball - will never be seen again. Just fantastic..
