/ scottie33pippen
Scottie Pippen scored 28 points and added 12 boards to lead the Bulls to a victory over the Houston Rockets to improve their record to a record-breaking 39-3. Michael Jordan had a miserable shooting game but still chipped in baskets off the offensive boards while Kukoc and Kerr had strong games off the bench. Hakeem Olajuwon (31 points and 9 boards) and Clyde Drexler (23 points, 5 boards, and 5 assists) carried the Rockets for as long as they could but Rodman's strong defense was able to hold Olajuwon to 2 points in the final quarter as the Bulls pulled away.

@keithglass4891 7 жыл бұрын

What does the record have to do with being able to sweep GS? If you can't see clearly that this league is so wide open offensively than you don't understand why that 72 win mark was possible now. Did you see the team they beat in this video? The players they ran up on every night? How physical they were allowed to play with fouls being called. Not to mention every team had three point shooters. The NBA had to get more exciting after MJ and the other legends left. No hand checking, no arm bars. It's no wonder why there are so few players in the league now who square up offensive players or shade them to the off-hand. Maybe they wouldn't have sweep GS but you have to understand why someone would think they could.

I love all these Jordan haters on here; especially the ones saying Horace Grant or a rebounding power forward was the reason why the Bulls won. First of all, no one said this nonsense during the first three-peat. Yes, Horace had his role just like Paxson, Armstrong, King, Livingston even Hodges for that matter. It's called a team game. Jordan gets more recognition because he was just the best player on the team and in the league!! Then I see people saying Jordan got all the calls? Please! Was he getting all the "calls" when he had to go against Detroit? The Knicks? Also, someone on here said they moved in the three point line and because of 6 expansion teams and the Bulls won 72 games? (rolls eyes) You're really reaching with that one-and actually they could of been 74-8 if they didn't rest their starters the last two games. And they could of won 70 games the following season as well (69-13). The NBA has and will always have BAD teams and good teams. Don't hate because the Bulls have the best regular season record of all-time!! These same "Jordan Haters" are probably still buying or have bought his shoes.

ryanr20091 You are correct with Pippen, but Jordan lead the league in steals three times, was defensive player of the year, and was one of a few players who had 200 plus steals and 100 plus blocks in back to back seasons. The other is Olajuwon.

Love this one. I remember watching it on cable and just as at the moment it ended I knew the Bulls were going to win the NBA. THIS was the game to win. Not only because Houston was Jordan's toughest rival during the years of their first 3 peat, but because they were reigning champions and had 3 all stars.

@bournedevinesupreme Жыл бұрын

The Jordan's toughest rival were the Knicks and arguably the Pacers. A few teams (Knicks, Suns, Sonics, Jazz, Spurs, Rockets) always seem to have the Bulls number during the regular season, but always got dominated in the playoffs. With the exception of the Magic, which was more of a fluke than anything.

@sergegrone Жыл бұрын

The Kicks, Pacers, Supersonics and Suns had negative records against Jordan's Bulls. Maybe the Knicks represented a tougher opponent, specially in the 1992, 1993 and 1994 playoffs, but they were usually defeated in the regular season and playoffs. About the rest, the Spurs were a tough nut to crack, but in the end Jordan had a positive record against them. Only the Rockets, the Lakers, the Jazz and Bird's Celtics had positive records against Chicago between 1984 and 1998. And Jordan's Bulls managed to beat the Lakers and the Jazz in the NBA Finals, so their record was kinda even. The Celtics with Larry Bird were a pain in the ass for Jordan, but when Scottie Pippen and Horace Grant arrived, the Bulls slowly began to even the cards. And after Larry retired, Chicago basically destroyed the Celtics until MJ himself retired. That leaves only the Rockets as Chicago's toughest rival...had they both met in the 1994 and 1995 finals, I believe they would've split victories. During Chicago's second 3 peat, MJ would've beaten The Dream, but in the first 3 peat I'm not so sure. They had no answer for Hakeem, but MJ was a fucking beast in the finals.

My two favourites teams of all time. Pip my fav. Player great diffender. Imagine how good he was: Doc Rivers said that if you were a point guard back than and you were playing against bulls you prayed that Michael is guarding you not Pip. DPoY.. wow thats crazy and you have Rodman on the team who is able to guard anybody like the Dream or Shaq. How good you have to be that coach is putting you on one of the best centers of all time much higher than you... the Dream and Drexler and the whole team were fantastic... crazy times for the game... loved it

that ending shot with Sam and Scottie smiling like old friends is great. this was when basketball was good. everyone knew the Bulls were the team to beat. it was fun back then. now its too mainstream and political. I still enjoy watching but I like the 90s version of the NBA way better.

How do u think they would lose in 94 and 95 when Houston couldn't beat the bulls in 91 92 or 93 then they had chances in 96 97 and 98 and that same championship team of Houston couldn't beat the bulls in the regular season. In 94 bulls would have made it to the finals if they had Jordan and he never retired. I just don't get a team not winning when a guy is there wins it twice when that same guy is not there or at full strength then disappears when he comes back and loses games like these and not even reach the finals again.

@Ulysses432 hol up Jordan loon....did you not say the Rockets were never better than the Bulls? Oh I get it....pre 87-88 loser Jordan should not be brought up at all, it doesn't fit the Jordan loon agenda, does it? LOL. Nor should the Rockets be brought up before Sampson was injury prone and 4 Rockets around Hakeem were thrown out the NBA for drugs, being seen as THE team of the future. So much so that in the 1986 offseason there was a unprecedented amount of trades, drafts for any big body that could dribble a basketball. Wasn't nobody scheming for Jordan's losing ass lol. Nah its only "fair" to start comparing once the fortunes in Chicago changed for the better, while things were headed downwards in Houston. When Jordan has Pippen, the GOAT coach whereas as Hakeem until clyde otoh is surrounded by a cast of career scrubs. Houston won their rings yes, they never suffered even 1 single loss vs Orlando. The most dominant winning Finals performance of the decade, didnt even involve the Bulls. 😉I can't say that for the "90s most dominant team" regarding Orlando, they had to take a L from them before they got it right.

@moviehypno23 basically that. Players can't use their hands to check the opponent, i.e using your hands to push your opponent to impede his drive. Hand Checking: A defender may not place and keep his hand on an opponent unless he is in the area near the basket with his back to the basket. A defender may momentarily touch an opponent with his hand anywhere on the court as long as it does not affect the opponent’s movement (speed, quickness, balance, rhythm).

I know Pippen played with Hakeem way later in they careers, but I would have loved to see a Pippen/Hakeem duo from the get go. That would have been fun. A Jordan/Hakeem duo would have been even more ridiculous. If Hakeem would have had a great perimeter player throughout his career he'd have as many championships as Kareem. He was as great as they come.
