Michael Jordan’s Bulls Dynasty: 1995-1996 | NBA Highlights on ESPN 

After you forced Rachel Nichols out I’m honestly shocked you’re still capable of semi decent NBA coverage. As a pretty liberal Democrat I want to say congrats on being so woke that you destroyed a white woman’s and a black woman’s careers. Thats equal opportunity if I’ve ever seen it.

Unfadeable19 I've heard the TV doesn't do it justice. Stories of seeing him up close and every vein in his leg popping out

This 95-96 Bulls team is also the greatest team in NBA history. They won 72-10 in the regular season. Then swept in the 1st round Miami Heat with Alonzo Mourning & Tim Hardaway. 2nd round they beat NY Knicks with Ewing, Starks, Oakley, Mason in 5 games. ECF’s they swept Orlando Magic with Shaq O’Neal & Penny Hardaway. In the finals the Bulls beat a 64 win Seattle Sonics team with 4 former All Stars in Gary Payton, Shawn Kemp, Detlef Schremph, & Herzey Hawkins. They used a 9 man rotation of Ron Harper 6’6 Michael Jordan 6’6 Scottie Pippen 6’8 Dennis Rodman 6’8 Luc Longley 7’2 6’3 Steve Kerr, 6’10 Toni Kukoc, 6’11 John Salley, 7ft Bill Wennington as their bench. They could score with anybody and defend any team in history.

@@Unfadeable21 Not the 2017 warriors

Damian Presha They would beat the Warriors easy because they could defend them. Jordan on Curry Harper on Klay Pippen on KD Rodman on Draymond Luc on Bogut. Warriors don’t have anybody that can guard Jordan. Warriors don’t have anyone that can outrebound Rodman. Pippen is arguably the most athletic guy on the floor and best defender with a 7’3 wingspan.

Michael Jordan and the Bulls eliminated 20 NBA playoff teams with over 50 regular season wins in the the playoffs. For context Lebron has played 17 seasons vs Mj’s 14 seasons and has only eliminated 12 playoff teams that’s won 50 games in the regular season. Learn the game and Long Live the GOAT! 🐐

Greatest musical introduction in sport ever: Chicago Bulls 90s.

@@vitaliyhoncharov3349 Agreed!!! Game me the chills every time!!!

Nope the DreamTeam was the greatest basketball team ever. But of course, the current NBA GOAT team is the 96 Bulls no doubt about that. They would anihilate any team even the Warriors with KD.

ADD.....Greatest Rebounder ever: Rodman, Greatest 3pt% ever: Kerr, Best perimeter defender ever: Pippen, Greatest coachs ever: Jackson/Winter, 6th man Kukoc(not best ever :)

​@@SunnySTX phil jackson when he entered the bulls championships 0 phil jackson when he left 6 champion stopp coming out with this bs that he was the greatest coach ever he wasnt and wilt was the greatest rebounder ever not to mention rodman was washed and plus he didn't score any points pippen was made by Jordan without Jordan pippen wouldn't be who is today he was moulded by jordan lets not talk ab lescore8pointsinafinal my goat in fact the GOAT wouldnt do that in a final u can shove anyone in mjs way the flu most physical teams and he will win no matter what no to mention jordan is a better defensive and offensive player he had everything in his bag he had not one flaw james cant defend cant shoot three throws crumbles under pressure scores 8 points in a finals gets clamped up by jason terry and embarrassed by jj barea and gary payton is the best perimeter defender (THE BEST EVER :)

Looks sooo dope I was a teenager when those kicks came out the best looking Jay's ever in my opinion 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Christopher Holden I do like them but the threes all black are beyond legendary to me.

These are higlights of the concords imo🤣

@@flat_life750 white cement 4s! But those 11s are definitely iconic for anyone who was young n watching him. Destroyed the league that year. N u knew he was gonna after the early exit the year b4.

Bred 1 and/or 11s?

I lived in Chicago through all 6 chips. Nobody like him. MJ FOREVER GOATED

Yeah. Just more tactival player. But I think he put on too much weight that year. The last two years I think he got lighter and he was quicker.

MoneyBall weird because from what I see he was still athletic and bouncy in ‘95-96 but kind of lost a step athletically his last two seasons after that.

@@Balal8281 yup he was still athletic but not like 80's MJ. But yeah his last year or 2 he did lose another step but was still the best player in the NBA

@@zpacify i think that's because he was trained to be a baseball player. It certainly changed his muscles and movement..

@@azharfikri8446 No, when he came back in 95 during the season he was still thin despite playing baseball and going back to the NBA during the season. In 1995-96 during the 72 win season he bulked up to play more in the post. But it went too far and robbed him of his quickness and hops. But last two years he was older and lost a step but I think he wasnt as bulky compared to 95-96 despite being older.

It's confusing. I remember watching him play, win or lose, and it was a work of art every time. Watched him become global as a brand, a player, a person, and as a team. I can't believe it takes everyone staying in, the year 2020, no Kobe (the closest thing to MJ), and Brady going to the Bucs for everyone to finally really understand just what MJ meant.

Nah I’m good

@@dadame2423 nah I’m good

The greatest basketball team ever.

That's greatness right there 💯 Yet still not enough for Jerry Krause. What a foolish GM

KERR best 3pt % EVER

@@vitaliyhoncharov3349 Right behind the Dream Team :)

In the upper body but his 91-93 physique was balanced strength and quickness. Have you seen his battles against the Knicks in the first 3-peat? He was ripped and dunking on anybody.. That famous Ewing poster included.

This was old man Jordan. His prime was between 88-93 imo.

yjkg bybtb that was his athletic prime , but he was smaller then , this was his physical prime in terms of his strength and the physique of his body

@@yjkgbybtb4462 95 - 98 was when he was his most skilled.

@@myncraft1 peak jordan

@Sherron Davis it was just a regular channel we got with cable like TBS and TNT. Looking back I wonder why they made it available but at that time there were the Cubs games too who also have a big following down here.

do you know what steve kurr named his son??????????????

He was called the GOAT by some broadcasters before the Bulls completed their first Three-peat. And even back in the 80s, coach Bobby Knight said he would go down as the greatest player of alltime. If you watched Jordan in realtime it made sense. He did things that haven't been seen before and after him (Kobe didn't have his creativity). Lets keep in mind that not all the games he played are available. There's highlights that were only seen by players, fans and broadcasters at games. For example there is no known footage of Jordan's 360 hangtime dunk over David Robinson that Magic Johnson said is the greatest move he has ever seen in basketball. And Magic said it best, when he said that people should get VHS tapes and record Jordan while they could, cause they would never see some of the things Jordan did in games again. How right he was. There's some moves I've never seen replicated again by any player. The creativity and degree of difficulty of many of Jordan's moves is beyond compare. Jordan was the Michelangelo of basketball. The scale of his creativity was astonishing, and then you add everything else that he had in his game....

yur response shuld be in the main comment section , so that bron fans will stop comparing

Except Jordan has compared himself to Kobe

Kobe comes after... And is not an influense to Jordan.

KOBE WAS HIS LITTLE BROTHER AND THEY HAD MASSIVE RESPECT TOWARDS ONE ANOTHER IN TERMS OF COMPETITION.

Weedy Guitar Studio Lebron fans are weird

They’re both goats, just respect greatness

CableGaming you can respect both players and not compare them but how can you say they’re both goats

Lebron James

Real Is Real You sound like the type of guy to ditch class and go vape in the bathroom while listening to lil pump.

Championship Boxing If sidekicks drop 60 points in a game sure call him what you want

@@iamcatjesus999 well he was a great second banana to Shaq.

at first I thought it was jordan talking... then I was like... it's Kobe.

Ignaxius O. 73 and no ring crybaby

there was a point in 1997 the bulls were 150-22 in their last 172 games including playoffs....thats a 7 to 1 win ratio..insanity

Imagine if they ever had a above average center!!! lol

It's done to every legend, not just Jordan. People nitpick and tear players down trying to rank them mostly.

@@TyroneNBAFan true. People love to discredit Jordan because his team was the Golden State Warriors before the GSWs. If your an all time great player that should reflect on your team and how well you lead them. Nowadays, it's seen as bad to be dominant, but we both know why they is.

It's true! but 73 win means nothing without a ring

L shut up dork

edentaylor211 Facts. I hate how a certain fanbase tries to make it seem like Jordan and the Bulls didn’t face any good teams just because they dominated everyone

and in Scottie and MJ they were the leagues best 2 way players

Yessir

A guy who chooses a player over MJ just increases his chances of losing.

That fake King can't do 99% of that stuff MJ pulled off that season. Mind u this was like 96 after 12 years MJ in the league. He mainly shot the jumpers here. We not even talking about 87-93 Jordan. That Jordan was another galaxy level from everybody else in the history of the game.

They also be like: our queen can't even defend

Lebrown has air balled multiple FT's over his career. imagine ANY Top 10 goat players missing the *entire rim* lmao.

the bulls from 1995-1997 went 72-10 15-3 in the playoffs then 68-10 so they were 155-23 and whats funny about that is they were up 3-0 in the 96 finals then lost 2 in a row so they really could of lost 1 playoff game in 96 and in the regular season of 96 they lost a couple games due to guys being out and in 97 they lost a lot of games cause main guys were out so in reality that bulls team could of gone like 76-6 if not better in 97 and 75-6 in 96 ..they were insanely better than anyone else those three years and really only injuries slowed them down to rodman pippen or toni...thats how they win a finals game by 42 and hold the jazz in 98 to 54 points 28 by malone...the rest of a finals team had 26 points total some in garbage time vs scrubs...they had under 18 before then...crazy pros we talking about....held to 54 points in a finals game

AND they had Rodman

lebroin is my king 👑👑👑👑👑👑👑

lebron is my god that move at 5:38 was inspired by my goat he did it before mj was even a thot in anyone's mind

lebron wouldda wiped the leage back then

But yet Kareem is number 1 on the all time scoring list and got the same amount of rings and one more MVP then Jordan 🤷🏾‍♂️ while using that same ol sky hook shot

@@terrezharris5262 Kareem is the only other name that could be used in that GOAT debate. Even though IMHO, MJ is the GOAT. But Kareem is legit to be mentioned in the convo. Unlike Bron... He has no business being in that convo. BTW, the reason I believe Kareem does not get his due, is he played with Magic. Who is considered easily a top 5 player of all time too.

Kareem played for 20 seasons, Mj only played 14 seasons and retired twice in his prime. The first time because someone murdered his dad and the second time because the game was too easy after going 6-0 in the championship game.

Unfadeable19 not accurate at all 😂. He wanted to play baseball since he was in high school. Sure, he did it for his dad but he’s been wanted to. Second, he knew the bulls weren’t going nowhere after the ‘98 season so he basically respectfully ended their dynasty

Mj retired on 1998 because he doesn't see himself playing for a coach other than Phil Jackson. If Jerry Krause didn't pulled off one of the biggest blasphemy in sports history (firing of Phil Jackson and dismantling of the Bulls roster), Jordan could have played more seasons until somebody beats them.

Facts. This doesn’t even touch the surface of what I witnessed..💯

Because at the time the NBA was in a legal battle with Jordan Brand. So, they weren't allowed to use Jordan's intellectual property.

My son born 91 loved playing with no 99 and those black jerseys too.

Still 🔥🔥

Right, he was a short nappy head dude but he'd get you buckets 🤣
