    John Paxson and BJ Armstrong were absolutely perfect PG’s for the Bulls system. Deadly shooters, 0 ego, always seem to make the right decisions.

      notice how many dunks in transition mj and pippen have...imagine wade and lebron in their prime years together...special they would be the best duo ever.......old magic no cooper...no defense no kareem....i wish we saw lebron and wade from 22-28 together..also ski bayless and all mj fanboys would have you believe mj did everything alone and score 100 a night and never missed... well in this game pippen led them and paxon close out the lakers...mj was the 3rd guy....to me lebrons clearly a better shooter than mj and so is wade

      @razkable 8 лет назад

      mjs amazing catch and shoot wise...right but his mid range is overrated...keep dreaming...mj was the best rim attacker ever i will give him that..but 3 point shooting lebron is better and mj didnt really master the mid range until 1996 but call me an idiot all you want......i think mj was better off ball shooting mid range but ball in hand i go with lebron...his size give him an advantage...hes basically scottie pippen mj and magic combined into 1......mj struggled with smaller defenders who got under him like dumars payton cooper and starks...they wouldnt let him get to the rim...lebron doesnt...he destroys those guys....mj struggled shooting against all those teams for a reason...he had to shoot mid range and he didnt master it until 96...even then mj needed to get to the rim to be effective...i just think mj took more jumpers than lebron does same with kobe so we assume they are better cause they take more...i know for a fact lebrons jumper is better...mj didnt take as many 3's as lebron for a reason...it was out of his consistent range...lebron jacks at least 3-4 a game...minimum....

    This is sad to watch as a Lakers fan. Yeah it's disappointing that LA went down in a gentlemen's sweep.... but the real pain comes from the fact that this was the last gasp of the Showtime Lakers. People just didn't realise it at the time. Magic was only 31 and primed to play for another 4-7 years at the very least. No one knew that this was it. One dynasty was born that night, while another slipped quietly into it.

      I'm from the Chicago area and still living there during the Bull's Dynasty seeing how both Pippen and Jordan played. I too thought Pippen was very good though not every Chicago fan liked Pippen. There were some who didn't like him at all, said he's overrated and a canny ass. Even if he had 40+ point games or triple doubles, he still didn't get respect from such fans. These idiots who thought that way really weren't true Bulls fans. They had no clue how much of a difference it would have been if Pippen weren't on the team.

The underrated guy on the 1st three-peat teams: Horace Grant. A relentless rebounder, terrific defender, and could score when called upon.

      With that being said, this was Pippen's game with a huge edge on the 13 rebounds he got, and 2 more points than MJ. But people still talk about Wade carrying Lebron in 2011 finals when they were both averaging nearly 30 points a game, and Wade was just better in game 2. So if MJ needed Pippen and Lebron needs Wade, then its fair enough.

      juju I admit Wade had a much better game/performance in game 2 of the 2011 finals but LBJ and Wade had been averaging nearly 60 points combined in that whole season. But even if Wade played better in the finals, Lebron put up his own numbers as well, it was the team that wasn't putting enough effort as a whole and Bosh couldn't guard Nowitzki which was the biggest problem with that series. They should have put Lebron on Nowitzki.

Best team work and the result was the first title and two more followed. Similarly the 1996, 1997 and 1998 three peat was another team work by another set of support cast for the Bulls to win titles. MJ and Pippen were the leaders but the others players in the team helped to win the titles. Best of the Best!

They had 6 NBA Championship wins in 9 years! Today, the Blackhawks, the team who shares the same building with Bulls are having their era, 3 Stanley Cups in 6 years! The Bulls are still a good team today but now that the Blackhawks are good, the United Center is really raking in the dough! Every game both teams play seems to be a sellout.

      When you look at a Finals/World Series/Stanley Cup/Super Bowl record, the only number we should be concerned with is the number of wins. There's nothing to be ashamed about losing in the championship unless your team came unprepared and wasted a season's worth of hard work. After all, if you say Jordan's Bulls were 6-0 in the Finals, you're also implicitly saying they missed the Finals 7 times.
      With Jordan's Bulls, the most impressive thing about their playoff resume was that they never lost when they were favored. They won playoff series without home court in 1989 (twice), 1993, 1995, and 1998. That's a better indicator of clutch, to me, than their Finals record. Curry, LeBron, Duncan, Kobe, Shaq, etc. can't make that same claim.
