Everytime I watch these classics I get upset. I really miss the oldies.

I love how cool Scottie was after that hard foul by PJ Brown...He's like "Hey that's playoff basketball." Man it's softer than a baby's butt these days!

NBA on NBC!!!!!!!!!!! On a Sunny Sunday afternoon to watch the Playoffs. Damn i miss the 90's

MJ was so charismatic, The dude just had it all. The Game, the swagger and the charisma#G.O.A.T

Rodman played a lot of mind games on the Heat and they fell for his trap. While MJ and Pippen did their usual scoring on the Heat. It was nice to watch.

I've not seen many teammates since that were as close as Jordan and Pippen were during the second three-peat. They were more like brothers at this point in their careers, so in sync oncourt. When Jordan returned he realised how important Scottie was to the team and to him; Pippen's abilities allowed Jordan to still be Jordan well into his thirties, a time when the vast majority of athletes are rapidly declining. As Mike said to Pip while being presented with the Finals MVP, "you're my MVP, dog."

Scottie Pippen's game is was textbook. From the 16ft bank-shot, to the triple threat, his game was amazing. He was/is so underrated because he played with the GOAT. People forget how far he took the Bulls w/o MJ, before receiving the shaft in the Playoffs...

Rodman is HILARIOUS!!! He had everyone on the Heat flustered and was smirking about it. I miss The Worm!

Jordan " I'm doo doo and you're shit". LoL I remember laughing so hard when I first saw this years ago.

The greatest duo to ever play so far...

Thank you for that Pippen ad.

I had to pause the video to say thanks for keeping the Pippen commercial.

2:43 what a shot omg jordan was so tough.

9:10 Marv Albert "The No Lay Up rule continuing for the Heat". The no lay up rule....I miss those days man.

Poor Majerle. The Worm was already in his head 😆

and this is Jordan after his already built some kind of legacy not getting star treatment. today they hand it out before you earned anything!

Jordan always considered Mourning as a soft player because he couldn't handle pressure when the bright lights were on him in his early days in Miami. Throughout their playoff history (Jordan vs Mourning) even in Charlotte, Mourning only won one playoff game through 95 to 97. Basically, Mourning was all bark with no bite against the Chicago Bulls while his rival Patrick Ewing and Reggie Miller gave us 20 times more hell in the Playoffs.

Damn, jordan and pippen having a bad game but still win the game🏀🔥🏆

@rfe8nn2 "Micheal Jordan should of stayed retired after his second retirement" Perhaps. But people forget that B4 injuring his knee after the '02 All Star break, he was 5th in the league in scoring...at 39 yrs old His injury is what caused them to fall 2 games short of making the 8th seed for the playoffs. 25ppg 5apg 6rpg

Loved Rodman in this game!!! He got on everybody's nerves...Even the great John Crotty!! LMBO!!!!

I love Rodman!!!! I miss this style of basketball!!! We have the water down version now!

Rodman acted a fool in this game...lolllllllllll..he put on a show on that court..

9:28 look at the mascot in the corner right after pippen made that shot! haha

R.I.P. Brian Williams

Scottie is my #2 ALL-TIME, I'm tired of these foolish kids arguing nonsense. Show me a more valuable number 2 (only behind the GREATEST EVER).

The defensive mind set of the Bulls dictated by PiP with his aggressive and relentless playing nature .... Unmatched , before of after

I still get goosebumps watching these games

Doo Doo and Shit sure work good together

A possible flagrant foul lmao boy this game done got soft

The Heat played a brand of basketball that bordered on sacrilege by today's "soft" standards.....they would own the East & make Lebron cry all day if they were in today's game. Pat Riley.....helluva coach, but the Bulls trifecta....MJ, SP, DR too good & too mentally tough over these clueless Miami team.

Lol! I'm so glad you added that commercial!

Seems everybody knew how to post in da 90's. Lostvart

People forget Ron Harper can be as good a wing defender as Jordan and Pippen. Along with Rodman, the Bull easily had 4 of the top 15 defenders in their era of basketball, maybe 4 out of the top 10 during certain stretches of the 90s.

How many times was Toni Kukoc left wide open 3-pointers during this game?

It was a beautiful day in Miami but it wasn't a beautiful day for the Heat😢😢😢😢😢

i always laugh at rodman. he was really hilarious hahaha

both of these teams can beat the Warriors in 6 with or w/o Durrant

People forget that the Heat had just come from a 7 game war with the knicks and were spent from that series. Also, game 1 and 2 in Chicago were close, with Miami leading at some periods. I think experience and the clutch instinct the Bulls were so used to decided the series. The Bulls were in their comfort zone. The Heat instead had never played a conference finals. The Bulls had literally been playing conference finals and finals since the time of the Bad Boy Pistons. Plus, raw talent put the scales on the Bulls' favor. That's not to say that the Heat were no good. They could compete against anyone. But it just wasnt enough and for all of these reasons I knew the series against the Bulls was already predictable. I'm surprised the Heat went away winning one, even if it was in Miami.

No offence but anyone who says jordan is overrated is stupid. His playing career coincided with a young dennis rodman, joe dumars, gary payton, and clyde drexler all extremely talented perimeter defenders

You know youre goat when they say-M.J is coming from a horrible game" and he still had 23 pts

i loved that pippen nike commercial...so sick

People forget how good some of the teams those bulls teams played were! The 97 heat were 61-21 then they played a 64-18 jazz team! 96 Sonics were 64-18 the 98 jazz were 62-20 the 96 magic were 60-22 the 93 Knicks were 60-22 and the Sun's were 62-20!

Can you blame them? They didn;t have the luxury of watching real basketball like us older fans did

from the mid 70's until the late 90's the game was a totally different animal. The same could be said of heavyweight boxing. We will never see the kind of athletes that we did in those two sports. Plus, this Bulls team was jackson in his prime as a coach, with his preferred coaching staff. The Bulls ran the triple post more expertly than it ever was or has been since. Remember that 72-10 season the Bulls had would have been more wins had Rodman not been suspended for 11 games.

mj is so good and pippin

Damn, the Heat had such a good lineup that year: Mourning, Tim Hardaway, Jamal Mashburn, Dan Majerle, PJ Brown. It just goes to show how good the Bulls were when they could embarrass a team with such talent. Although, if memory serves me correctly, the Heat were injury ridden that year, and never really hit full swing. Shame. They could have been a monster team had they stayed together and stayed healthy.

MAN... I missed NBA on NBC, and basketball in the 80 and 90s. The games were much more physical and competitive. God I cant even remember the last time i see

3:44 "and the tongue...is off the bench."

@retrotw Closest in terms of defense? Pippen is the greatest defensive perimeter player of all time, not Jordan.

Miss this physical ball and how there were no layup policies instituted by teams back then. They stood in the middle without having to clear out every three seconds and they were going to punish you if you dared try to get to the hoop. This is why today's game is so much easier as you have no resistance in the middle and there are countless drives to the hoop today - which is also why today's guards and small forwards are so effective. They're not better than these players no matter what young, unaware kids think - they just play in much easier conditions. If MJ, Pip and many forgotten players of that era played in today's game with today's media coverage of every player who is half decent, they'd dominate getting to the hoop every possession and thus shooting open shots from the outside as a result - plus today has so many more foul calls and free throws, it's just a scoring fest today. Back then, so many games ended with teams scoring just 70 to 80 points per game but once the rule changes and new foul interpretations kicked in, we saw dramatic increases in scoring from teams league wide as well as all the starting perimeter players.

Best Duo in the game.

"He's doo-doo..", "and he's shit!" hahaha

@thepakibye Scottie Pippen doesn't travel on a single move in this clip lol. It's mostly skill and great footwork in the post which Lebron is still lacking after all his time in the league. Back then the NBA didn't allow players to blatantly get away with 3-4 steps like they do for the stars of today and Lebron is the main beneficiary of the lax rules. That dude blatantly travels every game.

@BarstoolBlues33 not close bro! jordan holds the record for most steals and blocks in a season, he has won an nba defensive player of the year award pippen hasnt. jordan lead the bulls in steals every season! so i think not...

In Awe looking back at the skill of Pippen and how Critical he was

Lebron would be average back then

"i see kobe taking and making fadeaway jumpers from just about anywhere effortlessly" Kobe has missed 20+ shots 33 times (and counting) in his career..a pace of once every 29 games. MJ only missed that many 24 times in 1072 career games, a pace of once every 43 games. MJ's high for misses in a single game was 27, kobe's was 30 (a NBA record) on 11/7/02 vs boston. And MJ didn't take fadeaway's from the 3-pt line because he had something that kobe lacks: Good shot selection

@rfe8nn2 Clyde Drexler said it best about MJ in the 80s: "If Michael had the same [supporting cast] as Larry Bird and Magic Johnson, he [would win] as [often] as they do. If your talking about who's [most valuable] to his team, it's Michael." -- Clyde Drexler: "What does he do for an encore"; Hoop Magazine Season Preview, Dec 1987 With the teammates Bird & Magic had in the 80s, their teams were STILL at least a playoff caliber team without them. That wasn't the case for CHI & MJ in the 80's..

90's nba basketball was awesome until the league overexpanded in 95 and the league has been watered since then.

Looking back. I truly believe that the league was fixed. Jordan is my favorite player but some of those teams they bear were a lil better and deeper.

It's the Scottie Pipen-Micheal Jordan Comedy Hour!😅

i LAUGH WHEN PEOPLE SAY THE 90'S WERE WEAK...SHIT WAS HARDCORE AND DUDES WERE AS SKILLED AS EVER.

lol you are completely clueless... please tell me how the 3 point line being "inches" closer and handchecking being allowed helped jordan. what rules helped him? larry brown who has forgotten more basketball than you know said that MJ would average 45 in todays league.

I'ma True Miami Heat Fan Since 1996 It's 2021 Now 25 years heat Fan I never did like the bulls let alone Jordan but I gotta say I give Michael props he eliminated my heat 2 years in a row I don't hate players or other teams its just there not my teams, but Jordan is the greatest he's the goat the best ever in my books

(Oh shit!!) Phil Jackson @8:26 😂😂

Where can I find all the fulls games for this series?

Damn. The Dynasty.

If u were a fan in the heat then. u deserve all the championships u got now

Imagine if it was Lebron/Wade was Jordan/Pippen in those Bulls/Heat rivalry back then

I Was Watching All Of This Growing Up Me And My Homeboy Raymond🌇💿💻💝🐼🏨

I think you should re-mix this and add more Rodman. Yeah, he wasn't a scorer, but he did everything else.

That interview after game 2 was hilarious. MJ "I played like doodoo". "I'm doodoo he's shit". Pretty funny when the greatest player in the world can admit he played like shit!

Vhs.......press the tracking playa!!!!

Jordan had multiple rivals...Isiah...Dumars....Dominique, Larry, Barkley, Magic was a rival also...Reggie...Malone, Stockton, The entire 90's NY Knicks....Jordan overcame so many HOF'ers on his way to #1 All-Time....Magic is arguably the greatest of all time...along with Larry, Kareem, and Wilt. They were all great you are right....but the things you listed as factors in MJ's greatness apply to Magic and Larry as well....Great teams, great coaches...and MJ had plenty of RIVALS. You know that

lol yeah right... any of the teams that MJ BEAT in the 90s would be winning titles today...

should have never came to this. knicks vs bulls in 97 would have been a classic series...damn suspensions

What was the final score for this game does anyone know?

This should have been CHI vs NYK in the 1997 ECF and UTA vs HOU (Which was the best series in the playoffs) THANKS A LOT MIAMI!!!

@amit823 so many teams had incredible players. but the bulls were just too much.

The main difference between these days and nowadays are: Bulls at that time were hard to play, Rodman was a delicate freak that chased everyone, but MJ, SP and others and Rodman himself too were talented and hard workers! Now they have a "I'm injured every three games since 3 years but hey I'm the best NBA player", a french idiot that thinks that by insulting everyone and making fouls they can actually win NBA POs and others that come and go because none has the talent and knows the hard work of winning NBA title! Nowadays Bulls will never win a championship... they can at best go to the Conference finals! It's a shame for a "brand" that made our childhood!

how can u compare lbj to this man look at him the way he play

Nobody is PERFECT AND WE ALL HAVE VERY BAD DAYS AS VERY GOOD DAYS AND OTHERS.

The Knicks would’ve been a tougher matchup for the Bulls in 97

at 2:52 is Jimmy Johnson former Miami Hurricanes Head Coach

6:01 Rodman is a master of the antics.

from 0:50 what they say can't hear good?

Wow. That is a great point.

@rfe8nn2 "he did dominated in his era, but thats because the Birds of thee world and the Magic's of the world were gone" MJ beat "7" 60+ win teams in route to the title (4 in the finals), which is MORE than Bird & Magic beat in the 80s. The 80s were NOT defined by an abundance of "great teams", but rather by its rivalries. MJ's era featured 19 of the 50 selected "Greatest Ever"; the season with the most 50+ win teams in history ('97) and 48 of the 64 greatest defensive teams in history.

How's that seeing that scottie shot better in gm 2? 🤔

@retrotw yep

I Was Born And Raised In South Florida Always Rooting For A Michael Jordan and Da Bulls🌇💿💻🐼💝🗽🎄🌆🏨

The Goat of Goats.

Amen to that brother, i could'nt have said it any better myself bro.

@rfe8nn2 33.7ppg 5.4apg 6.3rpg 2.7spg 1.3bpg 49.4 FG% 85.1 FT% That's MJ's combined avg during the pre-pippen and phil jackson seasons, when Bird & Magic (BOS/LA) were in their primes. 34.8 ppg

God bless us all

The best 2 vs 5 ever played the game

what was the score

@eadymike Kobe backs down from NOTHING and NO1.he cud hold his own in Mikes era.his work ethic and drive is unrivaled in his era. baby bron bron on the other hand.SOFT.

wow they won a playoff game and scored 20+ points and thats bad to them... I don't think we'll see that again for a while.

you know looking back on this jordan did a lot of great things but something that nobody in the history of the nba is even in the same leauge as him is those fade aways...just sick. There is nothing anybody could do vs those you can't defend those.
