The Blazers crowd was rocking back then. My first game was in 1999 and the crowds back then just seemed like they had more energy and excitement and they were LOUD.
1:28 SEQUENCE MAILMAN PLAY POSSUM IN HIS 40 YEARS THEN SHOWED WHY HE IS BEST PF IN HISTORY HIS SPEED AFTER PRONE NOT MOVING GIVE AND GONE AND LAYUP WAS INCREDIBLE.
U MEAN AGAIST RIGGED REFS IN VEGAS PIPPEN IS CHAMPION TO ME JUST LIKE WEBBER AND DIVAC. 2 RIGGED RINGS OF LAKERS MEANS NOTHING I KNOW WHAT I SAW IN PLAYOFF PIPPEN CONTROLLED GAME RUN OFFENSE AND DEFENSE, SHAQ UNSKILLED THROWING ELBOWS GETTING SOFT CALLS.
Gimme a break. The refs didn’t make the Blazers miss 13 straight shots in the 4th qtr and made Scottie shoot a pathetic 3/10 fg while getting his ass busted by Kobe Bryant in the 4th qtr.
@@Theterminato2013Exactly and the Kings blew game 4 and game 7. That's there faults not the refs. Especially when Peja in game 7 missed a wide open 3 2 win the game.
Defense and intensity were really high. And there was probably a foul by Wallace on the last play ! History fact, this was the last game of the great career of Jeff Hornacek.
Fans were shaking the basketball stanchion on Russell's free throws in the final seconds. That's why he ran up to the officials after he missed the first one.
@@lovenlightman U CANT BE STRONG IF U R 40 YEARS BARELY WALK LIKE SABONIS OR PIPPEN DOZEN SPINAL SURGERY OR SMITH PASS PRIME OR SCHREMPF 1 YEAR TILL RETIRE. THATS NOT STRONG THATS NAMES ON PAPER.
If you look at it, this Blazers team had better talent than the Bulls except for MJ. Sabonis better than Longley, Rasheed not quite the defender Rodman was but more talented and much better offensively, Damon Stoudamire better than Ron Harper offensively but not on defense. But the bench of Portland was even better with Schrempf, Brian Grant, Greg Anthony.
@@Marlowe10100 they were definitely old but all together at an age with some young up and comers like Wallace where they weren’t too old. Amazing squad.
@@Daewonnni My point is you switch Pippen for MJ in that Blazers team and they win the championship. Pippen scored 12 points in game 7 against the Lakers, we know that's not happening with Jordan.
@@Marlowe10100 NOPE. SABONIS WAS OLD WITH NO LEGS PIPPEN INJURED. ONLY REAL TALENT IN PRIME WAS SHEED AND MIGHTY MOUSE. IT LOOKS GREAT BY NAMES ON PAPER BUT SMITHY DETLEF PIP SABAS AND ESPECIALLY SHAWN KEMP WAS WAY OFF PRIME DAYS OR INJURED.
Portland had so many great players. I did not remember they played againts Utha- for Utha it was over- They where at there prime in 1997-1998 . John s and Karl malone had a great run and should have won a championship -so much effort for so many years.
To think Malone and Stockton went against a completely different Blazer squad in the early nineties with Drexler, Porter, kersey Williams and got beat by them at least a couple of times in the playoffs, now 8 or 9 or ten years later, they're both still there getting beat by the same team with completely different players, I don't think Trail Blazers are words Malone or Stockton ever want to reminded of.
Several thoughts 1. Portland was the much better team. 2. Utah was lacking offensive weapons. 3. Bryon had a good game but he sure choked at the most important time. He only had to make 1 basket. 4. The Jazz were on a decline at this time.
the Jazz had undersized guards where Stockton and Hornacek were too small compared to the blazers guards. I thought they had a chance to steal game 5 and bring game 6 back to the Delta Centre
Why? Wallace was their best offensive weapon. He was so damn good. His post up and turnaround jumper were tough to stop. He was still a great defensive player. I like Jermaine too but Wallace was an elite player in 2000 and 2001
It’s because Pippen’s been a choker throughout his entire career. Much easier make a game winner when ur team is up 3-1 than when down 0-2 and in a game 7 in the Conference Finals 😂🤣.
@@Kig_AmaSure he did. That’s why your boo was 0-4 in playoff series all time vs Kobe Bryant from 1999-2002. Kobe was more efficient, scored more and out assisted your boo Pippen in all 4 playoff series, ya bum. Easier to have more team success when you team hop the stacked Rockets and Blazers teams than playing with the shitty Wizards, goofy 🤡🤣😂.
Looking at this Blazers roster is proof of how bad the NBA is rigged. This team would have walked right through the league if it wasn't. Unfortunately Portland Oregon is just not a big enough market
oh snap, pippen beat the jazz without jordan. that jazz team had no chance vs the 97,98 bulls. this is what i mean by jordan didnt have much comp. his first 3peat was the easiest 3 chips ive ever seen. and his 2nd 3peat was even more easier once they picked up rodman. jordan fans get so mad that i come with facts. they talk crazy and when i talk crazy back they run to the social media police and file complaints. why report someone if jordan fans are the most disrespectful fans ever. if you can dish it out why not take the dish that gets thrown back at you? i got banned from youtube so many times. banned from facebook a few times. the delusional disrespectful little bettys dont like it when you win the debate. im mr facts mr basketball and jordan fans dont like when i kick facts. jordan fans reporting me just shows and tells me i won the debate by a landslide. 😁🙏🏼🙌🏼
Pip with sabonis and prime rasheed wallace though against 40 years old malone and stockton...he cant beat shaq and kobe even he had barkley and olajuwon in rocket team
Jazz beat the 4 allstars team of lakers and beat duncan and spurs in 1998...they also went to game 7 against dirk, nash and finler in 2001...pippen only went to a strong team but cant win any rings without jordan
@@shiningking and how old was pippen? and if its like that then no jordan fan can bring up, ray allen dwight melo ben wallace shaq rondo cause they were all super old. 😊
@@shiningking pippen did better with no jordan than what jordan did with no pippen baby girl. jordan couldn’t even get out the 1st round with no pippen. pippen almost made it to the finals with the bulls with no jordan. when they both left, jordan couldn’t even make the playoffs without pippen. pippen made the playoffs without jordan. pippen made it to the playoffs with the blazers. jordan couldnt make the playoffs with the wizards. jordan had huges, stackhouse, christian laitneer. stackhouse was averaging 20ppg. 😂🫵🏼😂
