And the fact that the Bulls took the first two games on the road and everyone thought the series was over, but the Suns (having already come from 2 losses at home to win their first round series against the Lakers), actually won two of three in Chicago to retake home court advantage. And of course, the fact that Michael Jordan set an all-time NBA Finals record with 55 points (that still stands to this day 27 years later) in Game 4 to give Chicago a commanding 3-1 series lead right when it looked like Phoenix might be about to mount a comeback. Either way, I agree. One hell of a series, and one hell of a playoffs that year!

Even with this game 6, if they had just made a few different decisions and Bulls not get as lucky, they would have won this Game 6 and possibly the game 7 which would also had been in Phoenix.

If Ainge stayed on his man like Westphal told the team to do it in the timeout Grant and Paxson wouldn't have gotten the opportunity for that play. Grant just happened to pass it out the exact moment Ainge was gonna foul him it was more luck than anything.
Total team effort*
Oh yeah never mind jordan scored every fucking point in 4 th quarter until paxsons 3
How could Phoenix leave John Paxson open for the title winning three, Barkley gambled and no one stayed with Paxson, and then Horace Grant who struggled came through when it mattered the most to win the third championship. Everyone can say that it’s all Jordan- WRONG, he had a supporting cast that did the little things. 6-0 Finals Record for Jordan vs 3-6 for Lebron, nothing else to it.
True, the defense of the Suns was bad….
@@TheDignam Right Marjerle was not suited tp guard MJ on any given day
@@christianraines3032 The Suns did a great reular season, but their defense sucks and the Bulls had much more experience...
And a prime Pippen not with a broken back, like against Utah....
Because Barkley gambled n go his team out of position defensively u didn’t watch?
Horace Grants block….. lost in history, but it’s a huge moment!
Anyone else notice BJ Armstrong falling on his back right in front of Sun's bench just as Paxson hits winning shot?
Ive been watching this for years and years and my only thought on that was he was thinking "COME ON... I'm open and I could have hit the game winning shot and he's going to miss it!" 😆
I just finally noticed that too lol
He's obviously using body language to try and will Paxson's shot into the basket.
Yeah at 8:40
1:59 Pippen facial on Barkley
pause
😂 I never noticed before how BJ Armstrong fell to the ground in celebration as soon as Paxson received the pass from Grant. He hadn't even made the shot yet.😂😂😂. Clowns who say Kobe faced better competition in the finals are blind fools. Magic, a young Drexel, Barkley, Gary Payton, Shawn Kemp, Malone and John Stockton vs a one man team in Philadelphia (Iverson averaged 35 ppg and Kobe 15 ppg/facts) an old Pacer team, and the Nets. Dwight Howard and Paul Pierce. Please. And you would have lost to Pierce twice if not for the team. Kobe shot 6-24 in game 7 vs Boston in the finals 💯
Rip Paul Westphal
I love the commentators said about Paxson and BJ armstrong 2 different guys same result with the 3 point shot. This what champion team about no need expensive players for back up but trust each other and play hard with high spirit to win champion trophy.
When Pax drained that 3, the air went out of that arena.
I’m here trying too see the playoff 8s Jordan wearing 😂😂😂😂 cause I hit that shit on SNKR 💀
back when basketball was fun to watch. so much more contact was allowed and fierce competition in the league.! Now NBA SUCKS
Now it's stupid and bad.
In this kind of game, you can see the Bulls are not a " 1 man team", they've got Pippen, Grant, Armstrong, Paxson, Cartwight, Scott Williams, a great bench... a Real True Team.
Yup had two all 75 players, a double double stud, damn good role players and the greatest coach of all time. Super Team!!!!
This suns team gave the bulls yhe 2nd most difficult of their 6 titles....(1997 jazz) was #1 to me
I'd have to say your right. They walked all over the show time Lakers for their first. Portland did a little better but not by much. Sonics, meh. Jazz fizzled by the 2nd time they met in the finals. And if the Suns had just won at least one of the first two home games, they very well could have pulled off the finals victory against the Bulls. In my mind, they were SO CLOSE!!! Even with this game 6, if they had just made a few different decisions and Bulls not get as lucky, they would have won this Game 6 and possibly the game 7 which would also had been in Phoenix.
This was their most difficult one IMO because they won the first 2 on the road and the Suns refused to go down easily. A defensive lapse was the only reason there wasn't a G7.
The '98 Jazz gave the Bulls their toughest run for their money
@@FlyAwayChiwell, if John Stockton made the game winning shot. They go to game 7 in 98.
@@hectorlopez1069 Ok.....
Jordan was torching KJ 😂😂😂
yeah that was a dumb match up . jordan easily shoots over KJ
That suns team would dominate in today’s nba
At least 125 ppg.
A couple of interesting stats from this game 6: Free Throws- Suns 30-36 Bulls 11-20, 3-point FG's- Suns 4-11 Bulls 10-14
Foreshadowing today's game, where 3-pointers make a crucial difference.
Horace Grant assist and block to win the game 💪🏽
Never understood y the suns put kj on jordan defensively
KJ can keep up with mj footwork speed, but Jordan has the height advantage he simply just shoots over KJ job done, when it majerle ainge or Dumas, Jordan kills them with speed
Because Dan Majerle had no chance of guarding Jordan. That's why!
They used several guys n kJ at least had a prayer of staying in front of him 93 Jordan was quicker than small point guards having him elevate over kJ on a jumper is better than him blowing by dumas ainge or dan who was a good defensive player
All i saying mj must of been loving it being guarded by kj. He was torching majerle and ainge. I would of kept dumas on him as he got length. Tbh michael was on fire who ever was guarding him was at his mercy
@@chrisbano9216 Yep, in Game 4 when Jordan scored 55 points, anytime Ainge or Majerle was guarding him, he just blew by them for layups.
LOL@ Marv Albert pronunciation Horace grant (HARACE GRANT!!) right at the start of this video!!
Lol, I never thought about that before but now that you mention it, is funny.
Danny Ainge failed the mission, got caught up trying to help when there were already 2 defenders there… the rest is history
He got put in that position with Chuck overplaying and gambling instead of face guarding Pip.
Ainge was terrible defensively at this point in his career, really slow, he didn't start and shouldn't of been playing as much as he did.
Now the Suns are back in the NBA Finals 28 years later
They lose to the Bucks.
*Horace Grant comes up with the block to conclude matters.*
1998 Rockets, what a shame
june 1993-2023 happy anniversary
This was the first finals i remember
It would have been only 4 games If Bulls had Rodman that time
Damn so Jordan needed Rodman as well to stop Barkley & Kevin Johnson… 🤣🤣🤣 man ya MJ fans are hilarious…
@ 5:08... a precursor of the game-winner
1:48 the guy took 3 steps "OBSTRUCTION"
Brothers phone nba three two good guys See play barker & Jordan .Lakers all brothers doing see help sever mens .JohnnyL.Berry.4589.
they didnt show KEVIN JOHNSON cross over that DROPED JORDAN in the first quarter, lol
Was it Game 1 or Game 6, where BJ Armstrong hit a 3 from the corner, and raised his arms up right after?
Armstrong was my favorite point guard of that era.
@@hectorlopez1069 I was born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up. Sonics and Blazers fan. (So, I got to see Armstrong KILL my teams, but also fortunately beat the Suns, who I hate). I shot some BJ Armstrong 3-pointers at shootaround at the health club!
Paxson and Horace Grant won that Championship game for the Bulls
Good players for the bulls dynasty.
Huh? MJ scored 9 out of the 12 4th quarter points. Had he not scored that many since nobody else was able to at that point, Paxson and Grant wouldn't have been in position to do what they did.
Are those empty seats I'm seeing in the last 3 seconds??? You'd expect to see that in garbage time of a finals game today.
8:39 - I was wondering how BJ Armstrong fell. I saw it out of the corner of my eye when Paxson shot the game winner and though somebody pushed BJ. Naw, he fell on his own. LOL.
would Chuck get his first ring, had Paxon not scored?
No, suns still lose in game 7.
Yoo who was that on the bulls that just falls on the floor by the suns bench at 8:40 when Paxton goes hits the3😂😂
BJ Armstrong? 😂🤔
What am I watching this defense is absolutely horrible. Every single time someone put up a shot no one was even near the person. People hype up these days like everyone was a lockdown defender
They’re highlights dummy. Go watch the full game if you want full context . Looks way better than today’s small ball Inflated era
Bro they done removed the part when KJ crossed Jordan.
who tf does a turnaround fadeaway jumper from 20 feet?
Paxson was the villain this time... XD
The better team doesn't always win. That's what happened here. Had Cotton stayed on as coach we would certainly have won. Westphal just wasn't ready and it cost us. And two of the all time greats, Barkley at small forward and KJ, possibly the greatest scoring point guard of all time, they end up retiring without a ring. So sad.
KJ was possibly what ?
@@dc-mw9fd PG
Are you high or just that damn insane?? PLEASE!! LOL
Jordane too
Horace Grant is the great defender
A good shooter too.
Y'all know good well that Barkley Kevin Johnson wasn't good enough to beat Jordan and pippen bulls they were good enough to complete against the bulls but wasn't a great team to beat the bulls for the NBA championship in 1993.
The suns actually had a deeper team
Exactly dudes be comparing Charles Barkley & Kevin Johnson to Duncan, Parker, Manu w guys like Bowen, Finley, and Mcydess and the goat coach.. Jordan ain’t play a team who’s 3rd or 4th best player was the caliber of Kawhi.
The same kawhi who averaged 17 pts for a finals mvp and the same kawhi who always getting injured. Kawhi wouldnt survive in the 90s@@jazzroyale7260
Cedric Ceballos
Charle barklet
Scotty pipen
Best ever GOAT.
😭😭😭👍
