I dont know if i'm broken as a person, but I SWEAR when i watch older games from the 90s like this....they looks so much more organized and professional than todays game. Watching this its like everyone moves at this perfect professional speed, i cant describe it better than that. The modern game does not move like these classic games......it just doesn't have the same premium feel that it did back then
You not wrong at all. The league is so much younger now players don't have the same polish and fundamentals. Everybody in this game played at least 2 years of college, most 3-4.
Glenn Rice was such an Awesome perimeter shooter, great to see he won a ring comin’ off the bench with the Lakers, along with Mitch Richmond, another awesome shooter respectfully, those 2 dudes were consummate professional’s 💯
I remember emulating his form as a teen growing up, he was one of my fave. players ever. Beautiful shot and perfect form, Rice was a beast especially when he was hot
@@carlosvazquez5196 Pip had nothing to do with it. In fact Pip got roasted the games prior against Glen Rice and rest of the games. Bulls were below .500 Then all of a sudden MJ returns and owns it. Pips entire career is fully credited to MJ. without MJ pip wins nothing. But MJ was winning regardless with or without Pippen after 1990. Dominique Wilkins almost became a teammate. This is from his own mouth in person with me in Hawaii together. Pip avg 10 ppg his first 2 seasons didn't even start. Jordan owned it from day 1. Playing with coke heads. Meanwhile everyone else had hof players ad teammates. What about that time Grant Hill cooked Pippen in 1998? Jordan comes in and slows him down literally and wins the game. What about Jordan locking up VC in his prime to zero points way past his prime. Pip never did that. How many defensive players of the year Pip has again?
@@hitek9too255 Super Fun Fact: troll lies, Pippen 7.9 ppg, 10 ppg his first 2 seasons. NO impact didn't start, mostly during that same stretch. Charles Oakley was the second-best player then playing with crack-coke heads. (Cocaine Circus). Mj avg over 35-40 ppg. 1991 and 1998 no all-star. Mj dragged him and won it all. We were around then. You weren't.
Even if they bring back the nba on nbc…there will never be an era like the 90s…it was just a magical time for nbc to cover & it was great time for all of us as youths. Great players & games! Will never be recreated in this era of nba bball!✊🏾🫡🤙🏾
Awesome upload! Glen Rice, among other players, like LJ and so on…. Took on 2nd/3rd player roles just to win championships. Didn’t let their pride get into the way! Rice was a beast!
I rem this game like yesterday. I rem being pissed that Glen Rice passed MJ's top scoring mark of 55 pts that season. When Glen Rice was on he was fun to watch
8 year old me was at this game with my Dad(RIP). One of the few times in the pre-Pat Riley we got a national televised game, let alone the Sunday NBA on NBC game
Glad to see a Glen Rice performance for his career-high 56! I only used to know this feat in NBA trading cards, and apparently it's way lot better witnessing it even just in condensed presentation. This game, or his 1994-95 performance overall, raised his stock into a key trading piece for Alonzo Mourning. Nice to see Khalid Reeves making clutch shots as well.
@@yellowduck-2024 I understood it perfectly well. Then again, even if I didn't understand Korean, I wouldn't be nearly as proud of my own ignorance as you appear to be.
I remember this game. Being a 16 years old Heat fan from Greece in 1995 - can you guess how? - expecting an article and photo from the game in the newspaper next day. Unbelievable to watch footage after all these years. Thank you very much MDBball. You're a treasure of a RU-vid channel.
@@hitek9too255. No. He was a deadly shooter with size and strength (6-8” 230). He had a quick release and could get his own shot. 85% FT shooter also. Played in a tough defensive era not like today’s pick up street ball NBA. Where nobody plays defense and teams routinely score 140 pts a game.
@@kristianolliviere9045 But the Hornets traded him to the Lakers when he was in his prime. Otherwise he could have been a hall of famer. He basically became a journeyman after he left Charlotte
This was the first NBA game I ever went to. Supposed to have upper deck seats but ended up 4 or 5 rows behind the basket. Place was electric in the 2nd half.
I was at this game 1st NBA I ever attended, big Magic fan back then all I remember was the Heat PA announcer kept saying Glen Rice 3Threeeeeeee the whole game lol
anyone notice how audible the cheerleaders are? i never heard that in any nba game before...in fact most nba cheerleaders don't really cheer during games
90s NBA on NBC and MJ made me fall in love with basketball…it’s almost depressing that I can’t even watch a full game these days because the NBA product is trash now 😑 Oh well, still have YT for the classics!
I always hated the Orlando Magic when I was a kid in the 90s. But that’s because I was a born and raised Chicago Bulls fan. And when MJ came back they were our biggest rival for two years there. Especially with traitor Horace Grant deciding to leave us to go play for them. That being said……I always loved the Orlando Magic uniforms. In particular these black ones and those electric blue ones. They seriously should switch back to those as their regular uniforms.
@@MDBBallThat is fair. What about these games. My final list: Spurs vs Clippers 12/25/92 Sonics Blazers 4/24/94 Sonics vs Nuggets 12/25/94 Rockets vs Knicks 2/19/95 Jazz vs Hornets 3/19/95 Hornets vs Pacers 4/9/95 Suns vs Blazers 4/9/95 Rockets vs Spurs 2/18/96 Suns vs Mavericks 3/3/96 Spurs vs Lakers 4/7/96 Suns vs Lakers 4/14/96 Lakers vs Sonics 1/26/97 Hornets vs Knicks 2/2/97 Sonics vs Lakers 2/16/97
He and Mitch were different types of players. Mitch could shoot but he could also play iso ball. Rice was more of a move without the ball pure scoring jump shooter.
I stopped watching consistently after the Lakers beat the Celtics in the 2010 NBA Finals after that I would watch it sometimes but not all the time now I barely watch it anymore in 2024
I couldn't stand the Orlando Magic that year. I was happy that Miami beat them in this game. I was also happy that the Houston Rockets swept them in the finals.
notice how much you heard horace grants name. this is why shaq brought him to LA to win a chip in 2001. the same thing he did for michael in chicago. giving you a 60% fg% double double on 11 shots. Thats why he is going on the "no bull tour" and he has a right. that man had 13.5 points a game and 7.8 rebounds on 68.9% shooting in the eastern conference finals when they finally beat detroit in 1991. no way they beat detroit that soundly if he doesn't play like that. even in this game shaq got a wide open dunk because they were doubling penny hardaway and watching grant right below the three point line lol
Billy ownes traded for seikaly. I couldn’t wait to see the warriors 4 - 0 start that year without Webber and see Tim hardaway spree and cwebb. Ahh the rest is history fucking nelly
