Feb 25, 1996.
The Orlando Magic were the defending Eastern Conference champions who had knocked the Bulls out of the playoffs the previous year. So Chicago fans had plenty reason to be nervous about the Magic.
This was The Biggest Game of The Season so far. Why? Well, even though they had met twice already earlier in the year, this was the first game with both starting line ups intact (Shaq had missed both previous games and Rodman missed one). This was it! This was the one that mattered.
Shaq, Penny, Horace, Nick and 3D made up the 'best starting 5' in the NBA. They were gonna take it to the Bulls' Superman, Batman and RODman! Showdown at The United Center. Conference Finals preview!
How did it turn out? Well, the superstars sure played big... but it was a certain Croation Sensation that stole the show!

He just wasn't consistent enough. On some nights he could be crazy good, and he'll go down as one of the better sixth men ever, but the difference between that and a legitimate all-star is consistency, and that's what Kukoc lacked.

Penny Hardaway could have HoF status. He is long, athletic, superior IQ, ballhandling skills, etc in the mold of players like Oscar, and a younger Tracy Mcgrady.

+Tamila In this game you can see 5 HoF calibre talent. MJ, Pip, Shaq, Rodman, and Penny (if he didnt get injured he is a HoF calibre talent). Then you have all-star talent players in their younger days like Harper, kukoc, Anderson, and Grant. Plus you have 2 of the greatest shooters of all-time 3D and Kerr.All those in this game alone.

Everyone always talked about Pippen and Jordan, but those '96 Bulls would NOT have won 72 games without that large and underrated supporting cast. The addition of Rodman created the greatest defensive trio in the history of the game. Kukoc rarely got credit for his superb shooting, passing, and clutch play. Harper, Wennington, Longley, and Kerr upped their game playing alongside MJ. Also, the team had size; only Kerr was considered short at 6-3.with all the key players being 6-6 or taller.

Magic had overall better starting 5 but were very young and Horace Grant got injured and didn't play after the first game, Penny already playing with knee problems, Bulls had a way better coach, Phil Jackson and added Rodman and Ron Harper - the real key to the Bulls success that year.

Tamila - uh no. This is such a common and ridiculous argument about the "expansion era". Go look at the number of 50 and 60 win teams of the expansion era. Marginal differences from the 80's. And most of these expansion teams became relevant quickly. There were simply more than enough players to go around as basketball and the NBA was just getting bigger. The biggest difference was that the stars of the 80's were older and great dynasties like the Lakers and Celtics were exactly that - old. They had already started diminishing in the late 80's and then Detroit took over. This idea that this Chicago team couldn't hang with their predecessors is laughable. 6 Championships with two three peats is more than anything done by either Boston or LA. Pat Riley himself, the coach of LA during Showtime, said of Chicago that they were the best team ever. But haters have to come up with nonsensical arguments.

@boogieloo1831 6 жыл бұрын

Uh - the original poster is somewhat correct. This Orlando team had just beat Chicago the season before and had gone to the Finals. Chicago was winning like crazy but this wasn't the end of the season and they weren't the 72 win team just yet - everybody here is talking with the clarity of hindsight. Meanwhile, Orlando was not far behind Chicago in wins and they had the number 1 rated offense in the NBA at the time - this squad if coached better could have given Chicago a much harder time in the playoffs. But Chicago had the number one rated defense and as their playoff series against Orlando proved, defense wins championships - (at least before today's era of no defense and soft rules)
