MJ played all 82 games in that 2nd repeat and all playoff games. People say pippen carried mj . And that may be true, minimally. But dont forget dennis and scottie missed alot of games during the 3peat . The goat did what a goat can only do, and thats carry the team and win at all costs
2:19:07 got to love the Bulls broadcasters. They’ve seen 5 titles in 7 seasons at this point and they still get fired up for a huge play by the great one like this
@@AGregBergThing They got 3 rings without Rodman. Rodman replaced Horace Grant, so basically they just needed someone who could rebound and play defense at that position. Could have been Rodman, Grant, or any one of many big men.
This is one of my favorite series from back then to watch, even though it was 3-0 sweep you could see the league starting to change right before the bulls and its super interesting to see how they dealt with a young team that was moving much faster, had alot of athleticism and alot of space and was basically precursor to how nba teams play today
the bulls almost lost all of those games. Till this day i dont know how the bulls won in 98. They just seemed old and had to work so hard that entire playoffs.
I think the Dwight Howard/Stan Van Gundy Magic was the “pre,” to how they play today. If they could have done a little better on roster construction, they could have won a few championships. Because Dwight was dominant on defense and solid enough on offense that you can play the 4-1 spread, him low post and 4 3-point shooters in the open spots. Even with limited post moves, Dwight was such a specimen that there wasn’t to many centers in the league that could hold him 1 on 1 in the paint. Turkolug and Pietrus were not consistent enough 3 shooters for the defense they played. Especially Hedu. Other guys that maybe could hit more but were even more of defensive liabilities than the two I just mentioned.
Dang, well I just looked, my favorite 6’10” spread the court player Rashard Lewis 39% Hedu and Pietrus both 38% for 3 on the playoffs. I semi stand. Corrected, except that others getting important minutes are low 20% if even that. So they weren’t quite ready.
The Bulls averaged 6 more points per game than they did during the regular season and Rodman averaged almost 14 rebounds a game. Nothing was disrupted. The Bulls were just bored which happened a lot during their dynasty run.@@cheryzheng
Yeah, those 96-93 overtime games where MJ took 26 free throws while shooting mostly fade aways were so much better than today’s game, where 7 footers can handle and shoot like 6’3” guards.
@@chaunseybillings5381 I’m 49 years old. I came up on watching 80s and 90s basketball. I get nostalgic for it; the way I get nostalgic for the Super Nintendo. But I got a PS5 now, and I like it more.
People keep speaking on that Bulls team like they had no competition. I don't even have to pull anything up. I am looking at the Celtics, the Lakers, and the Pistons. How many hall of fame players played on those teams? How many hall of fame players played in the league during Jordan's era? How many played during that other guys time? Majority of top fifty players in Jordan's era, mind you that it has been stated that the guys playing during this time have been called the greatest class of all time?
At 45:45-46:14, the realest Bob Rohrman car commercial during Chicago Bulls basketball broadcasts (from 1998) should have the roaring lion with a costume 'lion mascot' face. Or is it just me? LOL. Those commercials just say, championship Chicago Bulls Basketball.
No. Luc missed the last few weeks of the regular season with injuries. He missed this series (not like the Bulls needed him since they swept the Nets) & a couple games of the 2nd round vs the Hornets.
After 5 days off, the Bulls were obviously iced in the beginning. Something caught my eye though, which Bull caught your eye the most? Another Question, which Bull probably partied all night and showed up late? Some of you know exactly where I'm going with this.....what a beast!
83 -86, bulls lead then foul..1 freethrow plus tip in basket by the netS and yet the score is 85 -86 lead by the bulls?maybe some one can explain to me about the score?
this is the series the great sherman douglas torched duh bulls geriatric backcourt for 18 ppg on 52% shooting. imagine what today's guards would do to these slow moving dino's lol.
