my grandfather passed away the day after this game... this was the last thing that we did together... we watched this game at my grandparents house in palos hills, IL

I just love it when Rodman claps and laughs after he breaks out from an impending fight. He knows he got into the opponent's nerves.

Tony Kukoc, the idol of my dad. He said without Rodman and Kukoc bulls will never 3peat again back then. The most underrated players in nba history.

The best part of this was easily when Michael and Scotty had to hold back Dennis. Good lord what an era this was. So amazing.

I love how Scottie is just laughing during all the skirmishes.

Pippen and Jordan taking Rodman to floor is the coolest thing I ever seen

I totally remember watching this game live in 1997 (I was 17) and laughing my ass off when MJ and Pippen tackled Rodman to the ground like that LOL.

They were worrying about Jordan... They were worrying about Pippen... They were worrying about Rodman.. ....But they forgot all about Kukoc!

Superman, Batman and Rodman.

This was the pinnacle of the glory years in the NBA.

If you notice the crowds back then,it was a working class crowd. People that worked hard all week and then went to a game and gave their all to root for the team they loved. Now tickets are so high they are for the rich that are only ther just because. Very quiet crowds that really dont care.

Dennis with 2 points, 18 rebounds against Shaq and Elden Campbell !! ( and no Luc Longley - probably injured ). What a player.

Toni Kukoc!

2 points, 18 boards and incredible defense on the most dominant big man probably ever. THE WORM!

This Lakers squad was scary and loaded with talent. Just goes to show how underrated those '97 and '98 Jazz teams were when they went 4-1 and 4-0 against these Lakers in '97 and '98.

Kukoc is so underrated. He was great obviously.

The magic and passion of this era. Grown man basketball! Whoooo!!

Kukoc is incredible!

I remember watching this game live. The greatest regular season game I ever watched.

One of the BEST NBA games ive ever watched! On a night where MJ's shot was off everyone stepped up! Kukoc living up to 6th man!

This was my favorite non playoff game ever. Kukoc and pippen were amazing

Dennis Rodman was such a boss. He was the "hold me back guy" you actually had to hold back. I love the show he's putting on at the end with the FTs. The NBA would never tolerate that today.

It was a privilege to grow up watching these teams

Kukoc and Rodman absolutely amazing...

I miss theez dayz growin up in chicago, the good ol dayz, Mj, Scottie, Kukoc, Rodman, ahhhh i miss the 90's...

dennis is a one heck of a role player. he doesnt care about scoring. he's doing his job, monster on the rebound and hustle hustle hustle. younger players care about ankle breakers, crossovers etc etc. but look how the old, veteran guys play. its like no pressure at all.

What A game! Jordan, Pippen, Rodman, Shaq, young Kobe. Big moments - R.Brown sick dunk, Van Exel dancing after 3s, fight, epic Rodman interview by legendary Craig Seger, and big Toni Kukoc!!! Epic game

I could watch the 90s finals on repeat. There is so much fricking excitement in the air for these years.

That was the time when I stay awake to watch basketball.

Another game where without Kukoc the Bulls wouldn't have won. He just didn't want to lose whether playing for his national team, in European leagues or in NBA. I was checking out my old game tapes and there were many where the Bulls were trailing in the 3rd or 4th and suddenly Kukoc starts taking threes. People don't realize what a huge impact he had on the Bulls record. Thanks for the upload and even bigger thanks for including Toni's highlights!

All those Bull's games had a playoffs atmosphere, amazing game!

Man Pippen is so underrated. He's not another Jordan but he is a fantastic player, up there with the best no doubt. He's so complete, defense, attack player, he can do everything. Many times the Bulls won thanks to him.

Kukoc,and Pippen did their thing in this one.

the Bulls should retire Dennis' number already, he only played 3 years for them but 3 titles is hard to argue with

What a privilege it was witnessing the greatest era of the NBA.... I watched Jordan, Magic, Barkley, Malone etc on their prime... Today's game ain't shit compare to that!

9:50 Rodman basically explains what the current NBA is severely lacking.

RODMAN 18 REBOUNDS! WITH SHAQ ON THE FLOOR!!

Love Dennis Rodman interview!

I Love This Game.... I remembered that i have to skip school to watch you guys. LOVE to see you guys plays so much back then. GOD BLESS YOU ALL

Rodman did his job, Scottie was magnificient and Kukoc was on fire

18 rebounds when the one who stand next to you is shaq, Now pls tell me, who is the beast

Why did i leave today's Miami vs Cleveland game to watch a 90's rerun must miss old NBA

dennis rodman show what is the meaning the god of the defence in the nba.. king of rebounder..a legend💪

90’s best time to be alive in Chicago.

Tony Kukoc hitting 3s over Shaq. WOW.

I REMEMBER THIS GAME WHEN I RECORDED IT ON A VHS TAPE WHICH I STILL HAVE AT HOME. AMAZING GAME, GOOD TIMES!!!

This is probably one of the top 5 games in NBA history!!

Dennis in Chicago you will always be remembered as one of the greatest. Every single night you laid it all out on the line. An unsung hero and a true legend.

Tony Kukoc is the best player ever to come to NBA from europe.... He is only the second player in NBA history to play all five positions on the court in the NBA finals ( 1st Magic Johnson)

Kukoc is a most versatile player ever. He could jump, shot, run, make assist...everything He could play from 1th to 5th position on the court.

I remember watching this game. Damn, what happened to the NBA?!?

this was THE NBA finals game of all time that never happened in the playoffs!

I remember watching the game live on TNT. I was glued to the television and just erupted in loud shouts when Randy Brown dunk. Man, I loved that year because I got to see most of their games staying with my Grandmother had who had cable TV and Chicago's WGN. That 69-13 Bulls of the 96-97 season were my favorite of the teams during their 2nd 3-peat. Out of the three, 97 was their deepest team with Caffey and Randy Brown contributing at a high level then the later additions of Brian Williams and Scott Burrell. Sadly, the lack of cap space to resign Brian (who actually wanted too much money in comparison to his output)and Jerry Krause spitefully trading away Caffey the next year weakened them going into the 98 season.

nba was so much better than it is now

Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, and Dennis Rodman...some major mind games there. Now that's a trio

These were the best of times! Loved hearing Doc Rivers on the call and Sager on the sidelines. These were the glory years of basketball for me in my lifetime. What an unbelievable team my Bulls were back then!

this is when basketball was awesome

I think Rodman was the first player to go out of his way NOT to score... Just to prove, defensive/rebounding players can be superstars and get paid doing it... If you listen to alot of comments on Rodman, alot of teammates says he would pass the ball when he easily could of shot it.

There is no way to stop the Chicago Bulls of MJ era... No way... Amazing team!..

Vi la transmisión de este partido en el 97 y fue una noche increible. Pero, ver este video 23 años después lo fue mas aun. Gracias Bulls (Jordan, Pippen, Rodman, Harper, Brown, Kukoc) el mejor de la historia!!!

Rodman...2 points 18 rebounds. lol. This team had so many weapons. I laugh when preteens come on the comments and swear to holy jesus that any squad in the current era could run with this team.

wow dennis 2 points 18 rebounds!!!!!

I still dream of games like this back in the 90's. Kukoc was on fire and I luv how Jordan and Pippen had to tackle Rodman at the end. You get the feeling that they had done it before... likely in practice.

kukoc my man didnt hit the rim on those threes very underrated clutch performer

This is one game would be amazing remastered in HD in full game to watch today team have no chance against the bulls

Kukoc giving it tonnes of arc on the 3 ball. Love Rodmans hustle.

This was definitely the best game of the regular season. It felt like a Playoff game when The Bulls came back from that huge deficit to win in overtime.

I’m watching in the quarantine of 2020!! Praying that everyone stay safe!! And this one of the best basketball games ever!! #90’sthebestbasketballever

Rodman.. Jordan.. Pippen greatest big 3 of all time!

gotta love Dennis "The Worm" Rodman

6:23 Man, I remember this game, and this era, it was incredible and Bulls fans all knew it. You don't forget the FEW times when Dennis Rodman made two free throws in a row.

But you can't deny he's a hell of a basketball player!!!!!! 🔥💯

pippen and kukoc was the two best in this game

5:37 this interaction I find hilarious. Randy Brown trolls Eddie Jones by holding his arm after the whistle, Jones is super heated and Scottie Pippen is just laughing the whole time telling Jones "you're alright" lol.

Randy Brown deserves props for that dunk.

This game was off the chain!

the nba in the 90's wow the crowd !

Rodman... 18rebounds at 6'7 against a 7'1 Shaq... DAMN! Lol

Kukoc: 9 3PA and 6 were successful. What a game by him ❤️

That mj and pippen wrestled rodman is one of the most iconic moments in nba history

Pippen has to be The coolest of the greatest. Great composure and attitude.

Look at the defense, pressure on the ball. No physicality, just pure defense. That translates to today's NBA. The 2017 Warriors would have a hard time scoring, good luck guarding Jordan and Pippen...and nobody talks about Kukoc. He would be insane in today's NBA.

Awesome ending, awesome match. Awesome heroics from many. Pippen was huge, Kukoc commanded the late comeback with a ton of threes including a break-away without a follow-through over Shaq's fingertips to tie. Randy Brown posterizing two taller Lakers. Rodman with 17 Rebounds ( 18 Rebounds total in the match) and no points with seconds to go in OT and he swishes his first two points at the line though he was not a good free-throw shooter. Thanks for the memories. I'm going to show my Dad this one.

So many things to love about this game: obviously Bulls winning with a comeback, but Kukoc catching fire, Randy Brown's emphatic dunk (6:53), Rodman being tackled by Pippen and Jordan (8:09), and my personal favorite, Bill Wennington and Jud Buechler enjoying the moment on the bench! (7:21)

Pip and Rodman are two of the most underrated players of all-time. I'll take them two badasses in their prime over Queen James and KLove any damn day, hands down.

This was such a great game. Pippen and Kukoc came up huge.

if only i had a time machine. i would love watching the bulls plays with the nba rosters now a days! Bulls NEVER SAY DAY! this is one HELL of a true TEAM!

18 rebounds of Rodman? What a BEAST! Amazing player.

Man, watching this play and then comparing to the brickfest that was Game 2 of Cavs vs. Warriors today... bring back the 90's, PLEASE.

The 90's was the best period in basketball ever. EVERYONE was talking about basketball, girls included. Even if you didn't like the Bulls or Lakers, Jordan made you watch the game every time he was on national tv. Games like this can not be repeated..Lebron.

This is one of the best game I ever watched, Jordan is the foundation, Kukoc and Pippen played great and Rodman stole the show in OT.

Amazing night for the bulls...they were on fire. Kukoc ,Rodman plus Pippen such an instrumental to the team.

This team played ball the way it should be played and gave you a show at the same time! This game was even more fun to watch live. My vhs tape timed out while i recorded it and thought I would never see the end of it again. Thanks alot!

Dennis Rodman, the best rebounder I've ever seen.

Playoff intensity from the players with playoff intensity crowd noise and excitement during a typical Regular Season Basketball game. I miss the 1990's!

For all the kiddies wondering what that silly length-of-the-court defense was, it's called "full court press" and no it's not against the rules in the NBA today. Players today are simply lazy.

I still have my Bulls Rodman jersey, it's 23 years old!

1:50 "Rodman can't fucking hold me" Lmaoooo

remember it well, great comments by dennis at the end. pippen picking michael up and kukoc lights out when they needed it. the bulls had a lot of great role players in those 8 years.
