Sadly true...

Thank you

Ironically same w/ Ewing. I say this b/c ewings Knicks & Reggie pacers kept knocking eachother out of the playoffs a few times in the east finals. I'm a Knicks fan so I obviously payed more attention to every one of ewings games from the 92 Riley Era & on. If starks hit that 3 in game 6 or got just a quicker step on the cat like quickness of olajuwon. Or of starks could have switched his brilliant game 6 performance scoring 20 pts in the 4th which was not their elimination game from his horrible worst finals game ever performance I'm game 7 going 2 for 18 0 for 11 on 3s ! Or the Charles Smith game which Gave the bulls homecourt cause they always got blown out in Chicago. Ewings finger roll miss against Reggie & the pacers. Or a big heart break from a new rule that was ridiculously punished based on the footage. The 90s heat could never beat the Knicks so in a garbage time game w/ the Knicks up 3-1 the NBA just made a rule of nobody leaves the bench in a brawl. People swear lol that Riley told pj brown to do something so egregious it was start a fight. It's just too coincidental that the Knicks just put all their best players on the bench cause of the blow out & Riley had all his best players in. Pj brown at 6'10 dispicably during a free throw box out picked up the 6'0 Charlie ward & literally picked him up & flipped him over in the almost first row. It was like some wrestling game! So the benches cleared & the Knicks best players got out of their seats a couple guys Ran out to defend ward cause it was such a disgusting & ward could have seriously hurt. Some of their best literally just got out if their seats to walk a few steps towards the brawl as it was on the other end. Ewing literally when the fight was pretty much over merely walked to look over 3 feet before hand court! I get the rule was no leaving ur seats but omg Ewing curiously looking over almost the whole court away from the ending fracas was suspended!!! Omg the Knicks top 6 or 7 players were suspended. Other than brown who deserved to be suspended the rest of the playoffs was the only starter from Miami suspended. Ward who was thrown I'm pretty sure was suspended which is ridiculous. He was violently picked up & thrown by a guy 10 inches taller upside down. Other than that funny all rileys best players were already on the floor so they couldn't be guys leaving their seats. So the Knicks Knicks had about 6 of their best players & obviously all starters suspended. Ewings was a judgenent call as he walked nowhere near so it was ridiculous. He was completely away from the fight & just got up to sorta walk looked a bit after it was wrapped up. So the stupid nba for games 6 & 7 suspended Ewing Oakley lj starks child's Houston & ward. So the NBA decided to have like 4 of their best players sit game 6 & 3 sit game 7. So they had no shot when they were easily gonna vlodr Miami out. I swear the Knicks should have gotten to decide to take the suspension of 7 guys in one game. I get that in game 6 since they all got a 1 game suspension should have had the right to say " we'd rather go w/ 5 guys which is the minimum u need on the court. I understand w/ only 5 players if someone fouls out or gets ejected than only 4 guys & I don't know if the rule book Says u can go w/ 4 at some point & if u can't then the umps hsve to call thr game as a forfeit. It's a much better deal than what the stupid NBA did which was to split the suspensions over the last 2 games! So game 6 was missing Ewing & 3 others so morning who could never beat Ewing all through the 90s in every playoff even as a hornet. Ewing in his prime was a much better center than zo. Plus Ewing being his mentor & " big bro" since Ewing helped his Alma Mater George town to play there. Zo idolized Ewing which irked Riley to no end while w heat coach. Anyway so zo destroyed in a Ewing less game 6. Game 7 the Knicks again played w/0 their 3 or 4 players & lost. The Ewing suspension really bothered me enough given the above. They needed him desperately best player who dominate mianis beat Player

@@nattyps3160 ur right the PJ Brown Ward fiasco was bonkers !!!! Ridiculous and unfair. Cheated us of a better 97 ECF between New York and Chicago for the second time in the decade...

​@@poppette1978 Jan 21, 1994 - regular season game - Indiana at Chicago.

Because Jordan didnt like him that much he wasnt talked about nicely in the documentary. He was clearly the 3rd best player in second 3peat and sometimes 2nd best, especially in the last playoffs

He was disliked mostly because Jerry Krause really wanted him at the bulls and Jordan/Pippen etc wanted to make Krause look bad. The reality was that Kukoc at times was easily the second or third best player in that team during the mid to late 90’s, he just never got the recognition that Pippen/Jordan/Rodman got

Hella clout after the doc

Krause was the best GM Jordan and pippen hatedhim for one reason and it was racism not contracts or anything

CarNNNN nah..pippens contract was shit..

To bad its literally impossible to make a shot with .8 seconds unless its tipped into the basket no way kukoc held the ball for least 2 seconds just watch it lol

@@Hilkayethompson ...as long as the ball is out of his hands before time expires..even if he held it for the 2 seconds. The shot clock doesn't start until the ball is inbounded and touched.

Soon as ball touches kukoc hands the clock starts and he even grabbed the ball lowered it quickly and shot the ball you can even count yourself before you say 2 he releases the ball if you say one a thousand two a thousand he clearly doesnt release it in time... But they are in Chicago they didnt start the clock in time lol

@@Hilkayethompson ..I beg to differ. He was in the shot at 0.5 seconds...the ball was out of his hands 0.3 in the air and the basket with no time on the clock. You can pause right when he catches it the time shows 0.7. So, again, he just enough time to shoot it.

Hilary Kaye It’s not impossible though lmfao you can chuck up the ball and just pray when there’s less than a second left. Derek Fisher hit a 0.4 second buzzer beater to beat the spurs in the playoffs in 2004 and they even showed that it did leave his hands before the buzzer. It is possible you just throw it up as soon as it touches your hands.

I don't think so. Pacers reached semi-finals that year compared to quarterfinals only by the Bulls.

that and his sister always beating him in hoops.

Not as hunting as for Scottie P. He was pissed he wasn't the "go-to" guy.

yea right. it was just a regular season game

Toni Kukoc and Rodmas was the real reason for the Bulls multiple championship. MJ and Pippen just have bigger egos

Yeah lovable losers :)

I understand that. My fav NBA time was 1981-89 (basically the 80s). Omg besides the Lakers/Celtics trading 🏆 the early 80s had the STACKED 76ers then the later 80s the Bad Boy Pistons. Bird vs Magic. MJ’s early years. Dominique Wilkins, Sikma, DrJ, Kareem, Olajuwon & Sampson, Bernard King, early Stockton & Malone... It was such a great time.

@@ezsmith3765fr I understand

The 90s! Best decade ever

The 90s up until 9/11 pretty much felt like the last time things felt not just ok, but legitimately hopeful and inspiring, across culture, sports, the new emergence of the internet, etc.

Well it probably didn't look this bad when you saw it, this was recorded on VHS and VHS tapes degrade HARD over time so by the time it was digitally transferred it looked like shit. 90's TV wasn't HD but it wasn't THAT bad lol. You can find really good quality film footage from a long time ago, it all depends on how it was recorded, stored, and how much it degraded over time.

also the aspect ratio was 4:3 which is basically old school square tvs, this is stretched to 16:9 the rectangle tvs, which totally loses a lot of quality

Tvs had scanlines and December the interlaced footage.

CRTs do magic to picture quality. Modern day flat screens have nothing on Trinitrons from back in the day. It's crazy but it's true

Scisca the triniton was good but the wega changed the game for crt hd. That 720p on a wega was amazing.

@@user-ub5ll7eo3y don’t you think?

1980-2004. Best era. Strategy revolved around center position. Players played defense. 50% FG was the gold standard.

​@@encinobalboa You ended the best years at 2004. That was the year of the Malice at the Palace!! So much changed after that brawl that turned the NBA into the ballet that it is now!!

@@rucianapollard4057 True. Hand check rule ended in 2004 which made getting a clean jump shot much harder. Defense was tougher and players and teams had to move and make set plays to get open shots.

Hear, hear… now, it’s all just “swag” fancy hairstyles, trashtalks and colorful kicks. 😂😅😂😅😂

@@patricklawrence9784 Definitely!! I rarely watch these days!

It wasnt caught on camera, but as per Reggie, Steve Kerr bowed to him like his bow to the crowd. 😂

Same. A close up.

You did?

What a horrible job by everyone involved not to get a closeup of Miller's face after that. Completely terrible job.

@@e2go That's a bank shot ... It is a make or miss league .... such a fluke if you ever saw one

Steve Kerr was always a comic at heart. Both were fluke shots, but Kukoc is always forgotten in their great run. Pacers were good, but the Bulls were stacked with great players.

+Keith Carey Had no idea a Reggie Miller open shot was a fluke shot

miller was the most arrogant player back in those days, you are right he could shoot, but no one back then could over come da Bulls!

give him credit, hes like that annoying lil brother whos good at one game on the ps2 and lets you know all the time haha miller was a savage and real OG, nba players too scared to show their real egos

Chris Webber4 yep spot on.

Trust Steve Kerr to take credit for other people’s talent and achievements

Kerr averaged a pathetic 5 ppg throughout his career. You'd think he averaged 15+

@Jonathan Esser Did not realize he is actually #1, ahead of Curry. Odd tho, he only averaged 6 ppg throughout his career Edit: I just realized #2 isn't Steph Curry... it is surprisingly, SETH Curry

@Jonathan Esser u can’t miss the shots u don’t take

@@jst11234 what you gotta be like that what Kerr ever do to you 😢

The polar opposite of Reggie Miller. Miller has always come across as a brat which makes this clip all the more satisfying.

Gorgeous lucky bank-shot??? CLEARLY you guys have ZERO basketball acumen.

And WAY WAY ahead of his time. If Kukoc came around today, we'd be talking about him as a transformational talent.

He was boring

@@eddiegomez7847 well if boring is being normal, and not acting shockingly all the time, I choose boring

Toni

16 home wins.

Chris Workman absolutely.

Truly. Im from Croatia, Toni is, after Dražen, the best European player in NBA. I remember watching games at 4, 5 am...

Back when the NBA was good. I just cant get into it anymore. I lost all interest after that era.

Yes u prob my age around mid 30s we seen it all as kids

Today's NBA is too soft and too politically correct. It has become too boring

Elton Francis - Nothing against you liking this era, and I agree to an extent that there is a lot of talent, but I grew up in the physical 80's style basketball (and football for that matter). I prefer the hard physicality than the soft, overflopping style that the game has evolved too today.

Elton Francis - I really like your response. It's very well thought out. I do disagree with you on how offense was one dimensional though. But you do bring up good points. But calling it the way it is, basketball has evolved. The rules have changed and the players have to evolve too. I do prefer the physicality and toughness of the 70's, 80's, and 90's, but that's what I grew up with.

Good Call

Lol. It was a lucky shot. I doubt he was going for a bank shot

@@sulomiller4945 Kukoc did that all season. I doubt it was "lucky"

@@Wis_Dom he banked in 3s off the backboard all season?

@@Wis_Dom how am I trolling? I think it was a lucky shot as I don’t think he was going for a bank shot.

This wasn't nearly as bad as the ECF in 1998. That's tough to watch.

Don’t forget about the Heat

Pippen acting like a bitch, didn't go out for that final play because the play was for Kukoc, quit on the team

that was so low i couldnt even hear what you said.

Which is funny because this is literally the EXACT same play.

I don’t understand why pollen crying like a bitch when the boy made the shot so basically his whole argument sound dumb because the boy made the shot that Phil drew up smh that boy pippen was a bitch

Wasnt this game, though

Lol

Steve ran infront of him and bowed

I was there and he started pulling on his ears and making monkey noises until Mugsey Bogues farted in his face in retaliation. Then the trainers dragged Reggie back down the players tunnel while he threw his shoes at The ceiling lights in an attempt to break them. It was hilarious and I'll never forget it.

I know. I wish they had shown it. I love it. 😂😂😂

Yes they expected him to make them or he wouldn't have gotten the inbound pass. These types of comments are brainless.

@@thegoldenorder1240 Yes the players may have but certainly not the fans

No. The 80's were the best.

The 90s were the golden era of just about everything.

@@AverageLeagueHack The 90's had MJ in his prime, it was the decade the NBA exploded in terms of fans and profitability, and there was tons of parity. The 80's was a great era too, but there really isn't a comparison.

@markmac they are just patronising. The 80s had Bird and Magic and Isaiah and they actually had good centers. Ewing and Hakeem Olajuwon and their Primes Moses Malone Dr. J and Adrian Dantley.

@markmac Ewing was also in his prime in the 90's. That decade is just lousy with HOF players and all time greats.

I think we know why, especially when you said Kerr 😂😂.

is there any chance you might be…white?

😂😂😂​@@burns46824

ron harper was better

Harper? Toni was the third best leading scorer of the Bulls that time. His averages were the third best in the team. Harper only starts, while Kukoc was the sixth man off the bench.

hahahaha good joke..

Actually, they're really tight friends.

Scottie inbounded the ball here.

Pippen hated Tony b4 the dude even signed a contract, for, Bulls were trying to save money for a Kukoch's signing at the expense of Tony. That's why on that Dream Team in 1992, M.J. teamed up with Pippen to block every T.C. move in a game against Croatia

@@g.g9872 or maybe the reason they double teamed him is because they knew and respected his skills.

@@g.g9872 not at the expense of pippen .. pippen had already signed his long term contract when they signed Toni .. the reason they had $$ for kukoc's contract was because pippen insisted on signing that low ball deal .. pippen chose to sign it, then he bitched about it after they won rings .. it was his own fault ..

😁😁

Bars

OMG that’s so on-point. 😂😂

Lol

It's called "Karma"

+Dominic Campbell Jordan is awesome indeed, fundamental to winning titles but even without him, season wise, the Jordanless Bulls were not a team to play lightly. I can understand Reggie's bows to the crowd. Even he knows the Bulls titles were a team effort.

Jordan got all the credit, but Paxson, Kerr all hit game winning shots in the finals.

+acorn sucks ur just a kid

torjacks kan ok daddy.

BloodyandEnchained Jordanless bulls went into the playoffs and lost a close matchup. Pippen took his game to a higher level. When Jordan came back the next year after failing at baseball, they lost to Shaq and company in 6.

That's call home field advantage

Mike T The shot clock won’t start until a player touches the inbound pass.

Yeah I know. 0.8 is literally touch the ball and shot clock goes off. But this felt like Kukoc caught the ball, took a nap, went for lunch, visited nan, then came back to the stadium and took the shot

@@miket2913 Lol. I think the same thing was said when Fisher made his 0.4 shot. Lots of Spurs fans were salty even though it was their own scorekeepers who were in charge of the clock. The human error for these things was calculated to about 0.3 seconds so Kukoc realistically had a little over 1 second to get the shot off here.

Life moved at a slower pace back then

@sbtopjosh dad was jumping too calm down pacers fan.

I did basically the same.🤣🤣🤣

Remember Reggie took his time on that layup against the pistons thinking he had it wrapped up just in time for Tayshaun Prince to block his game winning shot? Reggie was exactly what he acted like..trash.

I was a solid Bulls fan back then, but to hate Reggie is to hate greatness.

I hated the Bulls, but damn....I had to respect them after the smoke cleared.

Badass

Gerrod Richardson real shit

I envy you bro.

Michael Jordan,Scottie Pippen,Tony Kukoc ,Dennis Rodman very popular players during 90's in Chicago Bulls no wonder they always got into the finals bec.they had a teamwork,, and Bulls during that time had a very good players.

Same. I remember watching that with my dad in Arlington.

Good outside shooter but he sucked on defense

Kukoc is more classy than miller

Yeah, but Toni wasn't wired like that.

If ya'll would pay close attention Kukoc did bow while he was running with his teammates lol look at it again he did so clean & mockingly

That woulda been ghetto. Toni had something you probably don’t know about cause you never see it in today’s game, unselfishness and class. He nailed the game winner. Doesn’t need to do anything else. Grow up

Steve Kerr did, right in front reggie. Too bad no camera capture that, but steve said it himself
