Man, the Bulls had it all. Elite offense in Jordan/Pippen/Kukoc, great defense from Jordan/Pippen/Harper/Rodman (maybe four of the best ever at D), and great utility/role players in Kerr, Longely and Brown.
The atmosphere is so much better than today and there is some actual defense.. I watched pelicans vs rockets last night n I saw half a dozen missed open layups and two dunks blown.. no defense being played 3 times players hit their own guys in the back with the ball throwing the ball out of bounds on the inbound after a shot it’s just pitiful to watch
He has rings with Magic and the Lakers, so he will be fine. I know he wanted one BAD in the 90's though, against Jordan. He wanted to dethrone the shit outta MJ! lol! But I think it was mostly against Phil Jackson. They have a competitive history together.
Riley was not the coach of the Knicks in 96. Jeff Van Gundy was the coach, and the Bulls and Knicks didn’t play each other in the playoffs in 97. They should’ve, but that was the year the Knicks and Miami had that brawl and the players came off the bench and got suspended which changed the course of that series.
Final scores in this best of 5 series: Game 1- Bulls 102 Heat 85(Bulls missed 11 free throws) Game 2- Bulls 106 Heat 75(Bulls missed 16 free throws) Game 3- Bulls 112 Heat 91( Scottie Pippen had a triple-double... 22 points 18 RB 10 Ast)
there is absolutly no team in NBA history that could have beaten THIS Bulls Team in a 7 game series...not even close... only 2 teams i can think of that could take it to 7 maybe, would be the 2002 Lakers and the 2017 Warriors...and throw in the 2013 Heat.. for GOAT arguments sake... )))
He may not seem “very athletic” compared to some other NBA players but he is very athletic compared to the normal person. You have have to be a great athlete to compete the NBA period.
The 96 Bulls didn’t beat up on a bunch of scrubs in the playoffs. They knocked out the Heat (how the hell were they an 8???), the Knicks, the Magic, and the 64 win Sonics. Only lost 3 times.
Oh no doubt u r right on about that… 92 heat series was his best overall performance.,86 vs Celtics and 88&89 vs cavs is close but overall is Miami in 92… 45 10 7 on 61 percent shooting and 46 percent from 3… just beast mode
According to an abnormal percentage of present NBA fans, the Bulls played during a weak NBA….I must have missed that fact watching the NBA from about 1984-2000
Comparisons are always made between past and present teams, claiming one is better than the other. I’m a Celtics fan. The 80s Celtics were among the best in NBA history. Even though I’m partial to Boston, the 90s Bulls were arguably the best team to ever step on the court.
Curry is by far the best 3p shooter ever ... but to compare the Bulls vs best season GSW that would be a LeJoke .... MJ / PiP / Kukoç / Harper / Kerr / Brown , i mean they all rate from .403 - .540 on 3p% ... Nouff Said
For three seasons beginning in 1994-95, the NBA attempted to address decreased scoring by shortening the distance of the line from 23 ft 9 in (7.24 m) (22 ft (6.71 m) at the corners) to a uniform 22 ft (6.71 m) around the basket. Thats why everyone was shooting lights out. They were making 2 point shots.
@@themispavlitsas5748 those gsw no defense even with durant on it..remember they almost lost to james harden and his role players defense...this bulls was something
Bulls had too much Firepower 🔥🔥🔥 Harper Kerr Kukoc Pippen Brown Longley Rodman Jordan and more Hardaway and the Heat were a pretty Good Team not to mention sonics magic and knicks. And they say 90’s were a weak era 🤦🏽♂️🤣🤣 Bulls were on a different level 💯💯🔥🔥
Hypothetical.. What would it have done to Jordan’s legacy if in this particular year they suffered a monumental meltdown and choked in this first round getting knocked out by the 8 seed? Even if he still won the other 5 titles?
That's song was so funny when the player and head coach of MIAMI HEAT got ejected and fouled out of this game...does anyone know what the name of the song ?
BUT DONT GET ME WRONG JORDAN HAD A BOMB ASS 56 POINT SERIES VRS HEAT IN FIRST ROUND IN 1992 WHICH WAS THAT SHIT!!!!!! GLEN RICE , STEVE SMITH, AN BILLY OWENS
