Lakers Vs Bulls 1991 NBA Finals Game 5 (Part 2) 

Random considerations) - only watching whole games you realize how good of a PG Magic was ...definitely the best ever, and it's not even close. It's not only about assists nor his height; he just had it. Take Magic+4, and you reach at least the Finals - I didn't remember Michael still a bit unripe in 1991 ... Some of the usual great moves, but many situations badly read and that dump travelling with 1:30 left in the game - only watching whole games, you realize the importance and the quality of Pippen. That being said, he used to kill games only in the 2nd or 3rd periods, when teams started rotations of the squad and the tension was released a bit. Never ever do I remember Pip marking the difference in the 4th periods; never was he able to take shots with the defenses well places in the crucial moments. That marks all the difference between him and the all time greats, and that's why Phil choosed Kukoc for the last shots the year in which there wasn't Michael. - as a teenager from Italy supporting MJ since 1989, I wished Lakers could score every action in this game .... with Scott and Worthy out for injury, the game risked to be a massacre. Instead, Campbell and Smith made the game of the life, keeping it alive. But the sensation was always the Bulls could escape away in every moment - Paxson literally won 2 of the first decisive three championship matches for Chicago. His 3 pointer in Phoenix in 1993 is historically underrated. - Chicago's longs battery in the first 3peat was kind of an Addams Family ....Perdue, Williams, Livingstone, Cartwright could barely play in Europe, in middle rank teams. I don't remember why Horace Grant was so little used by Phil Jackson in this game - impressive that Magic lost his 5 last Finals games at home, and 8 out 9 in total - this series, anyway, was tighter than what it seems .....Lakers won game 1, so that there was much pressure in game 2 for Chicago. In game 3, only a very tight Jordan 's buzzer beater avoid Chicago the defeat; and we have seen this one without Byron and Worthy. As I said earlier, take Magic +4 ... Anyway, we all knew Bulls were going to win, and they knew it too. It was just in the air, that gave them that confidence. - overall .... this is so iconic❤ It's now 33 years ago, incredible. We still remember everything. Incredible. Also the colours matching of the two teams was perfect. The electricity in the air, the vibe, the sense of history we could breathe. Those years were just different

Marv Albert announcing an NBA game, especially on a Sunday afternoon, is the best

Watching From North Cotabato Mindanao Philippines 12 - 09 - 22

Best era in NBA😊

Scottie scored 25 he was the best player in this series with all around game

I remember this game, watching with my Dad in our Chicagoland home and he commented " They did it" sweet

The dethroning of an old King and the emergence of a new one . The glory days of the NBA.

Great Game,MJ and Pippen were amazing !!! Thanks for Posting !!!!

Damn i was 8 yrs old still young and free

La era dorada del básquetbol, éramos felices y no lo sabíamos.

Wow love to see them still young..

une super final 91 je m'en souvient comme c'était hier... i love MJ

Our first ring..Thanks MJ!! Shout out to the Chi🫡

Too have paxson on fire and almost always unmarked down the stretch was gold. Without pippen or Jordan , paxsons shots would have been so much tougher

It's more beautiful to watch NBA games in the past 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 its amazing, today's NBA are just giving twist on what they made before

Damn, Magic had no help. Had Big Game James not gotten injured it would have been a more competitive series.

No question and no doubt about it the denis Rodman is an amazing fun player to watch the dude is...LEGEND

47:36 read Scottie's lips: "Hey, it's time... it's time"

Look what i loved was Mj playing against his two best friends from College Sam and James and jordan got the best of them!!

This game (and maybe the series) feels like the Lakers have to do everything right just to stay even with the Bulls, while the Bulls can pull away whenever they're on top of their game.

Great video 👍

thnak for the post man, i can sit and watch the 90' nba the whole day .today nba is more like and1 basketball too much flop, too much step, too much soft

I was 10 years old when they won their first ring. I remember watching this game. They dominated the playoffs that year.

Bull vs Lakers+ ref

After years of getting close MJ closed the deal!!! 🐐

Michael jordan the great ligend may idol

Jordanzz my love it's Kevin c Williams and jamaran devvvvvlv and Kevin dev team Lakers good. Rip Kobe Bryant and his family chitown. Magic

The bulls at their best 🙂!

The style of play from 1991 to 2023 is unreal. The 90s- back to basket type play, mid range shots, more driving to the basket. 2023 more 3pts, more spacing, less defense

John Paxson takes over in the fourth quarter

They hardly ever shot 3 pointers. It's amazing to think this was 32 years ago. Maybe I'm old fashioned but I still see the sense in taking shots closer to the basket more often.

Miss those Bulls Lakers games in the old Forum. Bulls are my team but that Lakers squad was quality! Vintage Magic Johnson

Even though this series only went 5 games it was still entertaining. It was great seeing Michael vs. Magic.

I love Phil Jackson

I watched somewhere that after losing to Detroit in game 7 ECF back in 1990, most of the Bulls' players were back in the gym a week after. That was a great Bulls team and one heck of a playoffs run. Eventually winning the first of six chips.

NEbody else notice that MJ bounces the ball "6" times before he shoots at the line???(key word/number: "6").... No? Watch, and pay attention, this time!!.... "6" is your lucky number, today😉🙃

Los mejores Juegos..!

Paxson open jumpers won the game, great game from the goat Jordan and Pippen.

look how small mj compared to magic... you can just imagine how big lbj agsinst mj..

i bet Chicago Bulls $999 trillion

Paxson is the man for this win.

This was just the beginning of the 90’s. Bulls dynasty.

At the 47:25 mark of this video you see Magic Johnson standing up following a timeout. Just over his left shoulder you can see a young guy wearing a black Nike tank top who notices Magic and quickly takes his picture. That's me!

CArtwight was always a clean player, as i remember!

They can't beat my idol he's the best player of all time

Critics of Jordan being the greatest have referred to him winning his 1st championship against Magic Johnson on the downside of his playing abilities.. if 16pts, 11 rebs, 20 assists triple double in this game is his downside??? They crazy!

Now I know where nba 2k got the commentary algorithm from

What team drafted Sam Bowie ahead of Michael Jordan? I forget which team it was but it was a very costly error in judgement.

Top wow ang galin😍😍😍🕺

Just think if these guys could travel like they do today !!!

I really miss these days 😢

Was hames worthy injured?

paxson had no nerves

I love this series from the first championship.... Just shows it wasn't just about Jordan... Team work wins championships

I'll always remember watching this game and appreciating how, after the Lakers had pulled within two with a minute left and everyone in the world expecting MJ to take the clutch shot, he proved what a great fundamental and team player he was by passing off the drive to the hot man for the open shot (48:36).

Lakers were my team ...hurt me bad back then. (still does kinda) 😂 BUT...Jordan's the GOAT ❤ I had to give it to him!

Jordan. Pinnacle.

Fin del estilo y era de los años ochenta e inicio de la era jordan y los noventa la mejor época del baloncesto ❤

Na alala qo pa ang game five na ito kami ng pinsan qo sa black and white nilang tv salit salitan kami pg ikot ikot ng anthena ng tv sa likod bahay nila hirap ng sgnal noong unang panahond kagaya ngayon nka big screen pa

46:23... Remarkable over the shoulder backwards bank shot by Michael Jordan. Too bad it didn't count. 🏀

damn ... what if byron scott and james worthy played the whole series

This was when the best players played defense against the other teams best..... for the entire game. Not just the last 3 minutes i.e. labron

The look on Magics face seems like he knew the bad news already....🤷🏽‍♂️

This is the problem with deviding the league in half more often than not the finals are more or less a sweep. Totally sad to watch.

Those players from Lakers missed open looks and uncontested 3s but you will hear people say the 90s defense was something else. Stop the exaggeration

46:24 Whistle blows, MJ's like, F it, tosses it over his shoulder - and it goes in!

Chicago Bulls beginning to celebrate. 🏆🍾🧢

That's the great play to my best NBA player goat Michael Jordan .

Jeez this game is so much more entertaining to watch than today's NBA where it just stand around and shoot 3

Waoo pero como Michael Jordan no hay nadie en el mundo

90 was a great years of nba now this days nba suck

The real NBA

im a bulls fan.. and i LOVED this... . their first ring

Great series and great game. The bulls were just too athletic for the slower lakers. Also the injuries caught up with LA. Too many key players gone, or it would have made for a more interesting series

Paxson, yes! John Paxson again!

The real GOAT-MJ23

As a Bulls fan, I was hoping they would lose this game so they could win the title at home in game 6. I knew they were the better team.

A bit off-topic perhaps, but you can really hear the voice of Lakers P.A. announcer Lawrence Tanter the background throughout this video. While I'm not exactly a Lakers fan, I've long considered Tanter the best in the business (SHOUT-OUT to him). While that '91 series was already his 10th season, he's still going strong today. His smooth cadence and baritone voice still sounds the same and is "way more cool" than the rest... many who sound like they're free-falling w/out a parachute (overdoing the "enthusiasm").

0:30, oh man that was sweet 🏀

When the NBA played defense.

Master good pm po.frm tacloban po.ung sure win nman po.pra manalo Po ako

A good game indeed when basketball 🏀 was real let the players play the game

Thanks Marv Albert for that Horace and Harvey Grant fact

This series despite the hype Magic vs Jordan was a disappointment. I think Portland would have made this series more interesting. It was Magics last harrah being in the finals. Sad to watch.

I🎉s showtime my idol team lakers😊😊😊😊

wow Nice❤️🏃🏼‍♀️

There isn’t a player on this earth that could Stop Michael Jordan from Scoring 1 vs 1

Refs were so bad back in this day.. now that I think of it, they still are and instant replay confirms it..

No Kareem, Worthy, Cooper...no chance.

long live Scottie Pippen.............30pts and 5 steals

my 91 bulls

1991 bulls team could be warriors and this is when they were still young😅

Michael Jordan My favorite 💞💞😘😍 everyday only 😍

Peterclune is the first i saw. Doug Collins was the only one who made Him great. He would call him out in practice. We kniw you can score 37 a game. But until you learn to play with the team you will never win. Game 5 Jordan just went to drive and kicked it to paxson. A realky goid catch a shoot guy. Paxson was 5 - 6 in 4th. Scored 12. That was When jordan became great. He had 5 assists just to paxson.

❤😂 respect 🎉

Wow no comment! 😍😍😍

Michael Jordan beat magic Johnson for Chicago first NBA champion

Best ! Ever Finals Game !

46:27 M.Jordan woow
