A testament to how good that Pacers team was.

I mean that's gonna happen when a Jordan 3 rims out, Reggie gets away with the push of all pushes on his game winning 3 and then this happened. The league almost gifted them the 3 wins. At least if you look at this game with how they call it now.

Weak opponents

@@jefftomasello3258 LOL Okay. The only year that might apply is 1992.

1993 almost with the Knicks 1990 for sure with the pistons but that was right before

Same lol 🤦‍♂️

That series was unforgettable ❤️✨

I always felt like we were in control of the series. First time I got a little nervous was in game 7 when Pacers hopped out to double digit lead. I thought damn we might actually lose the series

I never thought jordan and these bulls would lose this series.no doubt in my mind.🤷‍♂️

ABSDOLUITE BULLSHIT, skinny dudes not scoring the ball is the least shit i want to watch again...gtfo

@M pussy game, touch a bit n cry like someone hit them with a club

Look at Jordan, man, so inspirational! After laying all those clutch bricks he thought he could flop his way to overtime. And yes indeed, “he” won game seven! 9/25 shooting and 67% from the line (with 15 attempts), no steals and no blocks can do that if you have Kukoc scoring 21 points in 33 mins on terrific efficiency. #GOAT.

@@TwoShoedDude lol he was tripped. It was all over the news back then. Did you even watch the replay? Also, there was no flop there unlike your goat, automatic flop + complaint.

@@TwoShoedDude How about the Game 6 of the 1998 Finals when Pippen was playing sh*t because of a back injury? MJ made all the scoring and clutch plays on those crucial last 2 mins of the game. Scored 45 pts and Pippen scored 8. lol Something your goat won't never ever replicate because he's shy to take on those big moments. He's too afraid to "miss" big shots, especially if a Finals series is on the line and they're on a brink of elimination. #softhearted 😂

@@thehumannugakareemsupreme9484 Facts

My 2 favorite players ever. I love that Bird is the only one to consistently give Jordan the business. I love MJ but it does get to be a bit much sometimes. Bird had the advantage over him and Mike respected him for it. Those two have a bond.

Reggie was a problem. A little cocky at times, but he was clutch when they needed him. He didn't have that thing that MJ had, swagger maybe or just came off as a hothead? He put up a fight against the goat, Respect

Yep. I remember the Knicks took them to 7, the Pistons took them to 7 and decided they'd go ahead and beat the Bulls in game 7... MJ didn't see very many game 7s.

@@kingking8768 Bunch of stiffs, are you kidding me? That's arguably the best Pacers team in history, voted as such by the fans themselves. Reggie and Mullin were great shooters and Hofers, Smits was a good 2-way center with a solid midrange(he even shot 11/12 this game), Dale Davis and Antonio Davis were pesky interior defenders and great rebounders, Mark Jackson was a very underrated PG(5th all time in assists) who ran the offense(Pippen guarded him nearly the entire series to disrupt the flow of their game), Derrick Mckey was one of the best perimeter defenders in the league and Jalen Rose was a 25 year old SG who provided help from the bench. Larry Bird was the coach of the year and this Pacers were top 5 in defensive and offensive ratings. That was the most well balanced Pacers team ever. They were certainly deeper than the Bulls, that were the oldest team in the league and dealing with a multitude of injuries, but the Bulls's experience and grit prevailed.

@@davidschmidt1793 not even close..best pacers team was the malice at the palace team

@@xavierb9061 Don't think so, that team barely played with their complete roster. They had potential to be better than the 04 team, but we'll never know. And as good as the 04 team was, I don't see them as being better than the 98 team by any means.

​@@LABoutaBagDoe cuz his stats is all the youth can see

Knicks had them down 2-0 in 1992

In what way?

Every way

I agree, life seemed so much more simpler then.. and ppl were different.. I think the rise of technology and social media watered down the world sadly

Agree

I agree, Pacers were the better overall team… the only difference is, they didn’t have as Reggie Miller calls him, “the black cat”, (MJ) that was the difference

Yeah it’s just mj

@@ginogreen7048 the Pacers we're not better

1989 pistons laughing at this comment

The pacers were not better. But, the bulls were exhausted and older here. So, they were definitely out of gas. With mj, pippin, Rodman, kukoc, and kerr all on the same team, sorry but the pacers don’t stack up to that. No one does. But, a gassed version, yes the pacers have gave them all they could handle. Indiana was very good.

Remember going to 4th of G 7 and Pacers were leading the Bulls..

Yeah, they gave the Bulls all they could handle. Probably the toughest opponent they faced during their dynasty.

@@gregoryviktor3794 nah. The pacers benefited from extraordinary number of breaks and playing an old bulls team. The 1992 Knicks were tougher.

Jordan said pacers were the toughest

They sure were. I am a bulls fan, and never missed watching jordan, but the pacers were really good. I think some of their teams were better than MJ's tbh...but of course, the bulls had the main weapon

Game 7 was the best ending to that story.

I was naive to think this level of play would always be there...with or without Jordan. Love or hate him, they'll never be another

your old now

Watching that game in Philippines, I am fan of Bulls, best seasons 1996-2000, i memorized all their players, even other teams.. Travis Best and Reggie Miller were famous also. Michael was always opposing Karl Malone and Alonzo Mourning.. I like Seattle Supersonics also..and we know that Jordan losing this when he had like this stat field goals 12/23..its unusual for him to miss. field goals and its little attempts for him..

With the pacers yeah, but LB made up for it with the pistons at the pacers expense ,💀

Larry forced them to work at their game 'kind of' as hard as he did. It was useful that no one on that Pacers team, even Reggie, could out-superstar, and certainly not out-work, the head coach. Even Michael, the Greatest, has maintained that he's never felt like he became superior to Larry or Magic, only their equal.

Yes that's true. Nowadays even refeeree is soft. Soft era, flop era, stacked team era

@@johnnyph12 apparently Giannis is. LeBron hasn't won an MVP in like 4 years.

I do remember. It was more radio than tv talk shows but they talked about him missing and questioned if the bulls could pull it off. Most deduced that since they had seen him miss game winners before they knew he was going to kill the next game. He had a reputation for taking failure personally and wanting to prove something the next time he played the team he failed against. Him missing clutch shots was the exception not the rule. And if I’m not mistaken he took the blame for the loss and said it wouldn’t happen the next game.

tbh he did get tripped in that last play

Thank you ! The skip Bayless crew never remember the NUMEROUS times Mr Jordan failed , or shot 5 of 23 , or ball hogged his way to never winning ANYTHING until he had Scotty and Phil and the absolute best team in the league. He never lead inferior teams to the finals like LeBron, Iverson , Kidd , ect.. MJ is the most overrated player in basketball history. I actually remember the 80s people and Jordan was just a ball hogging scorer with a ton of flair. BTW he was gifted the dunk contest in Chicago where he did the same dunk twice on 2 different occasions while Dominique threw down incredible 2 foot power dunks never repeating same dunk. Michael deserves his flowers but people over do by acting like he never failed. His 6 for 6 with 6 mvps was when he had the BY FAR best team in league and probably the second best player in the league for all 6. He was amazing but putting him over Kareem and Russell just out of hand is not realistic. Sorry.

@@himlekmcnutt2764 lol fyi the bill wasn’t even a playoff team before Jordan! In brons younger years he never went against anybody close to the Celtics! The Celtics had 5 top 10 hall a gamers and 2 of them were top 20 all time. Bro it’s not the same. Plus if the bulls don’t win 6 or even 4 we don’t look at the bulls like they had all these great players. And they don’t win without Jordan. Go see how many players on the bulls were all stars without Jordan. You will find only 2 or 3 at best. No one even wanted Rodman to when they got him! Regardless Jordan was the best winner. Labrons Miami team was the best and never had a 3 peat! Sorry!

@@MrWeah2003 he didn't get tripped. He just tried to go in too low and lost his balance. I remember this game. I couldn't believe my eyes 👀. Love MJ. Came back and won the series, bulls fan can breathe sigh of relief 😂
