Straight facts!

I agree, but Pacers also made me chew my nails.

No way any team today beats the Bulls or the Knicks in 92. Both teams would dominate todays game with todays rules.

totally agree

@JayEm z apay

Today's NBA is a 3-point competition

Right I enjoyed a lot those games in live TV

Even the regular season had great energy back then

Exactly

I never got hyped like during those intros on NBC with the music and narration...omg it felt like I was about to watch a war every time lol. Now it's like watch these guys run up and down taking turns shooting a 3. Wtf is this they call basketball nowadays?

The Audience Demographic has changed big time, costs of tickets and marketing has pushed out the sports fanatic, and brought in the "event fan" ( a night out for some business folks and families)

Me too, I can't watch the nba today because it's so dumb.

Starks was ready to defend MJ posting up for a fadeaway. MJ realized that and just used a quick spin to lose him. GOAT

Yes without him I don't think the bulls would survive jordan not going to let someone punk out his team that never happened

Lebron fans still think Jordan has no competition 😅😂😅 they are blind or what ?? Is very simple just watching a game like this to know lebron would've went to the hospital 😅😂 after get fouled by the Knicks or the pistons 😊

Michael Jordan est le basketteur le meilleur de tout les temps longue vie à lui

Tell me about it, I miss it

So fluid, so smooth, the finesse. Don't forget the hangtimes and basketball IQ. All because of passion and dedication.

Agreed

I’ve seen them all also….I give the edge to Lebron.

Well Said and So Very True.

@@Johansson1960 because LeBron proclaimed himself as the GOAT which is partly due to him being delusional. No way can a person proclaim themselves to be the GOAT, that declaration has to come from his peers in the same field. MJ has never proclaimed to be the GOAT and thankfully for his area of time that he played MJ peers proclaimed him as being the GOAT. MJ lets his dedication and work on the court speak for him.

the best series i ever watched .... this is when basketball was basketball

It was this series I started to hate John Starks

@@wasonaudiovisualentertainm516 YEP!

It was a war with neither side backing down. Ninety NBA was like that.

And Showtime himself (Magic Johnson) calling the game. 👍

Aaaahhhhhhahahahahhaha, “cigarette sponsors on the scoreboard,” (Newport’s) 😂, 90’s was the last era of “real men basketball,” it seemed like every superstar on each team always came through in big games, it was like you knew it was coming, so cool and fun to watch!! Man I miss the damn 90’s😂😂

Oh brother! The 90’s had some of the worst teams in history. That was no gem of an era; the 80’s was. The only thing propping up the 90’s is MJ worship. One of the biggest floppers in the history of the NBA is Dennis Rodman and he did get calls. You have always had players who would bait others. What’s the big deal about a no charge zone? Cigarette Sponsors!!! influencing people to smoke and get lung lung cancer. Nothing good about that. Players adapt to the era they play in. The current crop would have been just fine in the 90’s. The irony is the league got “soft” to protect MJ. If you blew on the man it was a foul. Why can’t we just enjoy the game and not compare all the time. If anything these are this is the most talented set of players I have ever watched, across the board that is. The addition of so many great international players is also a great joy.

rmx01indiana Millennials? You do know the majority of the millennial‘s born in the 80s right? Which mean we saw these when we were kids.

@@paulneil9649 Worst teams? The Supersonics with Gary Payton and Shawn Kemp? Or the Jazz with Stockton and Malone? The Pacer with Mark Jackson, Rick Smitts and Reggie Miller? The Magic with Shaq and Penny? The Hornets with Mourning and Larry Johnson? The Spurs with Robinson and then Duncan? Many of these guys are hall of famers. The 90's were anything but weak.

Bird, Magic and Kobe were the others who played the same way. They did whatever it took to win. But not pad stats to get triple doubles like in last 15 years.

Absolute favorite part is MJ nose to nose with Xman "F*** you X!"

The way he post up and sets for his shots is to clean, all day. One of a kind mj.

Saikyos never will there be an era like that. Absolutely loved this game back in that era. Now days nba is a joke.

I already know when he was still a rookie..

if your just watching the highlights of jordan, then no you wont be able to understand why he is the greatest. rarely do they show the defense he played on the court night in and night out. or the fundamentals or his game presence. glad to say i watched nearly every game he played, night in and out he would amaze the guy was remarkable.

@@dvvaughn564 i watched EVERY game Jordan played in in the early 90's. In my opinion, i think that was the most entertaining time to watch the NBA. :) Totally agree. :)

@@GuyKirk Yea I rarely missed a game when the bulls were on. Great games back then rivalries. Just better overall

@@dvvaughn564 Exactly. The rivalries, the wars, bad blood between some teams that made the game more exciting. It was things like this that made the NBA fun to watch. What are the rivalries in today's league? Some teams figure "if i can't beat em', i'll join them," is today's NBA. JMO. :)

Nope

defense simply non-existent anymore...period. For many reasons..

Not at all!

Sure dont

You can feel the intensity from the screen from this game. Wow

And the electricity of this old school Chicago Stadium crowd. Not to mention Chicago Bulls P.A. announcer Ray Clay

Facts

you are exactly right

you forgot how he started that sequence by slipping through the Oakley/Starks double team and scored over McDaniel 😉, but a ridiculous piece of play only MJ could come up with

Holyyyy shittt at 7:50🤯🤯🤯

I dont see anybody in todays nba than can replicate this sequence. Even racing back to snuff away the ball is a rare thing now.

Yeah Mike's defense was amazing.

Insane hustle

Well actually this is not his best game..

@@banggoman7371 No but imagine, even it wasn´t his best game, it´s full of highlights.....

@@banggoman7371 its his best game 7

Jordan never took a play off his his life. LeBron takes more plays off on defense in any playoff game than Jordan did in his 13 year regular season and playoff career.

Man you hit it on the head

Playing the Pistons 4 years straight in the playoffs prepared the Bulls quite well for this task,

​@Fred Klee 100% because that Knicks team was big! And they were definitely physical.

That was THE play of game 7.

The X-Man vs Superman.

In them days they were exchanging black and blues todays nba exchange jerseys after games that shit never would have happened then

@Christian Nieves "I'm not going to say today's basketball it's not fun..." I'll say it: it's not. It's too formulaic and predictable. It’s PAINFUL watching this wack ass era of the NBA. All of these guys literally play alike: constant calls for screens, in order to get iso’d onto a slow-footed Big, just to chuck up an incessant amount of 3ptrs. And what makes it even worse, these are the top scorers constantly doing this bullsh*t! It’s utter TRASH!

@@natedablack7857 I feel you man shit is hard to watch sometimes it's become a dribbling exhibition and a three point contest. Guys can have a 3 on 1 break and everyone will run to the 3 point line smh I remember watching a game during this years playoffs and it must have been 10 possessions straight both teams jacking up 3s and missing it was awful to watch. I miss the big men playing big, 7 footers will let a 6'6 guy check him and won't even take the ball to the basket definitely miss 90s era but not just bball all sports, music and movies were at their peak in the 90s imo

​@@natedablack7857 i concur... even with zero analyzing, you just feel the lackluster. i love bball, but i usually just end up getting into something else if i start watching a game these days. i remember these old games... I WAS HYPED during them. i was going outside and hooping on the commercial breaks... doing the Ewing free-throw line dance, etc. lol.

​@King Hoss 👑 I just made that point the other day. How guys don't fill the lanes and run to the basket anymore. They all spread out to the corners for 3's.

Couldn't freakin imagine. I've been to allenfield house multiple times. It gets really wild

Nothing like the electricity in the old Chicago Stadium. Loud as fuck in that building

I agree.. today's NBA players a f-in pussies!

Only twice in the championship seasons did the Bulls go to a game 7, here against the Knicks, then against Pacers in 98 eastern conference finals. The 94 playoff series between them was a great series. I really thought the Bulls were going to be able to win that series. 90's playoffs rivalries between Bulls/Knicks, Knicks/Pacers, Suns/Rockets, Rockets/Sonics were great times.

@@Gabriela1Acevedo Jordan wasn't there in 94 playoffs, it's Pippen who brought his team to the 7th game, if Jordan was there, quite sure the Bulls will win that series...

@@thedirtybubble9613 definitely. Every series went to the final game.

@@Gabriela1Acevedo to the final second. 😭

Players are too highly paid. You have Duncan Robinson making more on his last deal than most of these guys made for their entire careers. Do you think they actually give a fuck if they win or lose? Does LeBron even look like he cares if he wins when he is taking at least a dozen defensive plays off in an elimination game? Players really only care about their stat sheet, and the way the game is handled facilitates stat padding to keep those players happy.

mitube4u Actually the 90's was the best era of the NBA nowadays the NBA is not the same but it is what it is I'm glad I was born in the 80's and had the honer of watching this cool enjoyable games

@Joel Villarreal 90's*

90’s! Not even debatable.

@Joel Villarreal Nope. 90's

Я Русский и Ты прав НБА 90-ых лучше !!!

bastardjustice Pippen, Grant, and Rodman were the only All-Stars Jordan ever played with on these Bulls teams. Hodges and Kerr both competed at All-Star Saturday for the 3-point contest(Hodges was a 2-time winner I believe), but they weren’t All-Star selections.Kukoc was an All-Star, but didn’t become an All-Star until he left Chicago. LeBron’s list of All-Star teammates include Love, Irving, Wade, Bosh, Allen, Chalmers, Haslem, Shaq, Jamison, and Zydrunas Ilgauskis.

..

The Knicks weren't dirty. Laimbeer was dirty.

Pippen was the only all star player he played with. Grant played in the all star game when Jordan was retired and Rodman was an all star in Detroit.

@@bigeric1030 have of them were out of their primes but kinda facts

Lebron isn't built like MJ. Kobe was closest you're right. Those Knicks, Pistons, and Pacers team. Just the league and presence of big men in the paint back then....Lebron as big as he is. ....guys would have got In his face an let him know in those days. Today ...he already big as Shaq and you can't touch him. Guys definitely not talking shit to him like those Knicks squads did to MJ.

@@CS-np2oo The point is Lebron only has moments when he can just make things happen and take the win. Jordan did it constantly, and other than the first run after he came back after baseball, he never failed the big moments. He just didn't. The the game was brutal back then. Lebron has had the advantage of a far less physical NBA, and he's still only looking up at Jordan.

They were so much bigger, stronger and faster. That's why you had finesse players like Jordan, Pippen, Payton and Olajuwon. Skill players like Magic, Kobe Stockton and Kidd; and over the top players like Bird, Miller and Mullin. The bigs... Olajuwon, Ewing, Robinson, Shaq, Mourning, Mutumbo, McCale, Parish, Kareem, Walton, Kemp, jeeez and that's not all.

Yep I agree. Kobe is the only one who could fuck with Jordan.

LeBron is nowhere near top 6 😂😂

I believe if the Knicks had home court advantage in this series/ game 7 at MSG THE KNICKS WOULD HAVE WON! They were the ONLY team who had a legitimate shot of beating Jordan's Bulls in this 3 peat era!😳😳😳.

I saw a regular season NBA game between the Sixers and Lakers in 1982 that went to OT. Kareem had over 40 points. As I watched I realized why I barely watch the games now. The 80's and 90's were incredible. The 3 point shot has over time ruined the game. I think the court has to get bigger or they've got to eliminate the corner threes; something to end this 3 point contest that it's devolved into.

Its easy to play defense when nobody on the team could take you off the dribble.
