- This game was played on Feb. 4, 1996.
The Bulls entered the game on a franchise record 18-game winning streak.
But the Nuggets had no intentions of laying down to be victim No. 19.
Denver came out on fire and exploded to a 31-point lead.
The Bulls fired back in the third quarter, however, and took the lead. Jordan led the furious comeback with 23 third-quarter points.
The Nuggets took control in the end, however, and won 105-99.
Jordan finished with 39, Bill Wennington scored 18 and Scottie Pippen scored 13.
Denver's Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf led the Nuggets with 32 points.
The loss took the Bulls' record to 41-4.
Hands down one of the best games I remembered as a kid. Even though they lost it was super entertaining. Big ups to Mahmoud Abdul Rauf. Truly one of the talents that didnt get to reach his potential. Dude could drop 50 at will. Steph Curry's style is similar
Yep, Chris Jackson was a beast. Curry is Raouf lite.
Deangeles228 HAHAHA
YES,HE WAS. AN AWESOME PLAYER,DAT TRUELY WAS OVER SHINNNED BY MANY PLAYERS,DAT WAS ON WON
@@Deangeles228 ,JUST AN QUESTION,I DON'T KNOW AN WHOLE LOT ABOUT HIM,CAN U ASK U,WHAT WAS HIS REAL NAME?,N AS WHERE DID HE ATEN COLLEGE?
Mahmoud was awesome in this game! He was absolutely unique in the history of the NBA, both as a person and as a player. He would go from dribbling to shooting faster than anyone ever. I remember this game so fondly. It was a full-moon and we drove up to loveland pass after the game ended to moonlight-ski in the fresh powder.
People, remember that Denver was a huge underdogg going into this game. The Bulls went in thinking they had this one in the bag. Can you blame them? Going into that game with an 18 game winning streak. Just Amazing. Just listen to the crowd. The majority of them were Bulls fans. That year the Bulls were treated like rockstars in every arena. So much respect had been given to them and they deserved every bit of it,peace.
I was five years old at this game with my dad. What a great game it was. Let's go Nuggets
This was a great game, I'll never forget it; I think the Bulls were down like 30 and came back and almost pulled it off - that game showed how great Chicago was back from 1996-1998. Everyone loved the Bulls then because they were the only mature team in the league showing everyone how to play the game; they were different than the '91-93 teams and that's why I (as a Pistons fan) could appreciate them more in 1995-1998.
almost a classic come from behind win for them. This is one of the ten lost Bulls had in 1996. gotta respect the fact that Abdul-Rauf was on fire.
Those guys will never forget that they caused one of the Bulls 10 losses that season. What an achievement.
the strength of the 96 bulls was immeasurable. No matter if they were losing by 10 or 30 the opposite team never felt save because they could come back at any time
This is a rare game - thanks for uploading it.
I love the one-handed shot fake at 1:08 and of course the drive baseline and dunk at 3:30
i remember this game like is was yesterday...Bulls should have won that game...they fell just short of one of the greatest comeback ever...that Bulls 96 team....the best ever..PERIOD!
+Stacy Golden, Sr Me 2.Im a bulls fan,but that was an awesome loss lol i was mad back then tho
true irigz444
I remember it too. I was watching and the Bulls were down 30 then my cable went out. When it came back on a few minutes later the game was tied lol.
more...i must have MORE!! lol see i was 2 young to experience to full impact of the jordan era..i was born in 89 so by the time 96..97..98 was around i havent even hit 10 yrs. old yet. But now i can see how great this man is..i study his entire game
This was a dangerous spot for the Bulls. They had just won on the road at 2 time defending NBA champion Houston and the Lakers in Magic’s 2nd game back in his brief comeback
I remember watching this game on WGN, the Bulls we're absolutely smoking and just killing every opponent in the NBA like i've have'nt seen before or since. Yes the Bulls 18 game winning streak came to an end in this game, but what was so impressive was them making up a 31 point deficit and coming back to actually take the lead. The Bulls could have just rang this game up and took a blow out loss, but that just was'nt this squad's style, this is why they we're such a great team.
Possibly the best game ive ever watched
I've seen better games
classic game at denver word up for posting this game.
jordan has had some big comebacks and quarters vs denver he put up 30 in the 4 th quarter in 89 on his way to 52 and almost came back and won that game as well
The dunk at 3:30, you could see Jordan liked it, he was excited about the comeback. Woow, I feel so sad being born in 1992, living in Europe and starting to watch basketball only since 2004. It seems like every game Jordan played was spectacular, woow, the man IS the greatest of all time.
I remember this game well. Bulls were 41-3. 41-3!!! they also had an 18 game winning streak snapped. i think they lost the next game to barkley and the suns also. so pissed they were down by 30+ pts but for some reason you have it in your head that the bulls were gonna come back from that deficit. they did comeback and took the lead in the 3rd quarter but got tired from the expending all that energy during the run. this loss came at the end of a western conference road trip.
What a shot by Pippen at 5:38 he was a beast in his own right! ;)
This was the 72-win season by the Bulls, they were 41-3 here when Mutombo and the Nuggets snapped their 18-game winning streak.
Got it right... A rare game and nice to watch it...
I was gonna upload this game,but my program kept conking out on me..
The Bulls expended SO MUCH energy getting back into the game, I think they ran outta gas. They simply couldn't close out that huge run..
Bulls couldn't stop Mahmoud while he was fasting...amazing.
I remember watching this game. People were talking about th high altitude affecting bulls.
I remember when I was a kid, I was pissed the Bulls lost. I guess in a way that shows how great The Bulls were because, no one ever expected the Bulls to ever lose a game and when they did it was always a shock. However, that rarely happened. :)
@JColeM7785 And that was the days when hand-checking was legal. Mahmoud struggled against bigger guards like Payton, who could push him around. Put him in the league today and he would absolutely murder every single guard trying to defend him. Best shooter I have ever seen, no competition.
LOL at 4:56-4:58 Dickey Simpkins shaking his head like" That boy bad."
best shooter in the world - ever
that pip layup was redonkulous!!!
classic MJ in the 3rd quarter!
dam i remember laphonso ellis; he used to be bad ass!
good post!
Any Nuggets fans may remember this. The next day in the Denver Post it had the write up of the win, all of the articles. But the Standings page showed the Nuggets losing. They had us at 18-27 instead of 19-26. Someone wrote in a few days later saying that the paper should issue an apology and that probably the guy who updated the standings marked it down as a loss and went home early.
Abdul Rauf the real truth
LMFAO!!!
Thanks for uploading this game. you got some nice MJ video collection here.
I actually remember watching this game
Gotta love the commentary team ….
tell the truth!!! Abdul-Rauf single handedly whooped the best team ever!!!
Is this the game that Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf was unstoppable against my bulls.
The Bulls lost back-to-back games from Denver here and Phoenix and NBA experts were doubting their chances to beat the Lakers 69-13 record and reach 70 wins.
Phil Jackson knew the key to victory was getting Bill Weddington involved early
Another great post.
i agree jason, i was watching that game, and iwas like, "come on bulls whats wrong with you guys". but when they came all the way back, i knew, every game was not lost, even if they were losin by 10 or 20 points
@cuttyb87
In fact him constantly going to iso and over relying on jumpers is the BIGGEST reason WHY he's consistently less efficient as a player than MJ.
He's NEVER learned how limit the # of iso's, nor effectively move w/o the ball.
If he knew HOW to do these things (like MJ), it would make it EXTREMELY more difficult for defenses to guard him.
This is also is why he CONSTANTLY struggles against aggressive, physical & tough defenses that double/triple him, whereas MJ EXCELLED against them.
I'm a nuggets fan and i never see videos of jordan playing the nuggets
Though...the bulls lost at the end ...they still did a amazing job through the whole game
Look how all the haters crawl out of their caverns to comment on a video where the 96 Bulls FINALLY lose a game, but then, they suddenly disappear on the MANY videos when the Bulls are winning. LMAO!
that was one sick fadeaway 4:55
The Bulls trailed by 39 at one point in this game and they took a 5-point lead in the third quarter! The crowd at McNichols Arena was stunned. Unfortunately, the Bulls wasted so much energy to catch up that they ran out of gas in the end. They likely were not taking the Nuggets seriously.
the nuggets where ass at that time that bulls forget them
LOL @ da Nuggets at the end seem like they won the championship. Beating the Bulls is 96 was a championship win for any team. Coming back from 30 plus points and getting within 5 points is amazing. This is what I miss nowadays. A team that dominates the NBA. Not the Cavaliers wasting back to back 60 win season
Great upload, to bad they lost.
Share, the GOAT.
His name was Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf formerly Chris Jackson
My thoughts exactly dwoodall8979. I notice that whenever I watch these Jordan games on youtube and read some of the comments, it seems like all everyone wants to do is bash Kobe when Kobe doesn't even have anything to do with the video LOL! Give KB24 a break and realize that he may not have achieved as much as MJ did in his career, but he sure is one helluva player in is own right...Lebron as well. I rest my case lol!
that move @ 6:30!
awesomeness~
you guys heard that track the kobe Jordan Song?? The dude doing MJ argument has good stats and says all the stuff you guys say!
I appreciate the fact that u keep it real, showing the good and the bad. Sure Michael got blocked sometimes but that comes with the job. This was a crazy comeback, too bad they couldnt keep it.
By the way what happened to the Toronto game?
The 90's Nuggets, able to beat the best teams in the NBA and loose to everyone else...lol
It looked like they were playing at United Center for a bit
His name was Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf
and the fast atleast go to to 7 o clock
If Jordan didnt have Pippen I can see him haveing many 50+ games,,,
cool vid
5:01 he did Dale Ellis SOOOOOOOO dirtly right there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope he didn't let Stephen see that
@Zkill24 I think you are missing my point.
1- Kobe ROLLED OVER for Boston in the Championship. I don't care what his teammates were doing. Where was he? He wants to shoot so much. That was his golden opportunity.
2- Mike NEVER relented, for anyone. He always went out there to kick someone ass.
3- In the first 6 years or so of Mike's career he really didn't have anyone worth throwing the ball to, certainly not a Pau Gasol. It's easy to forget O. Woolridge was doing cocaine at that time.
Peace
yeah but you know the good news is they finish 72-10, not bad at all,
@cuttyb87
MJ & Kobe vs their team in career Finals FG%
MJ: MJ: 443-911 (49%) > his teammates: 865-1990 (45%)
KB: KB 333-808 (41%) < his teammates: 1041-2161 (48%)
So where's this better team for MJ at again?
Rookie MJ went to a 27 win lottery team that hadn't seen the playoffs since '81 until he showed up! From 1984-89, he played with 43 DIFFERENT guys (3 as starters), and 3 different coaches!!
Kobe went to a team 57 win playoff team with 3 other All Stars other than himself!!
@h0opman31 If your definition of "close" is the same as "miles away", then sir you are correct. Only player I've seen dominate both ends of the floor even near the level that MJ did (from the wing position) was Grant Hill before his injury. That guy was like Pippen Deluxe. Too bad his injuries destroyed his career. He could dominate with just his defense and passing alone. Amazing player.
ring ittttt
@robertjr55 I read an article in SI about (then) Chris Jackson beating MJ at his own camp... when Jackson was still a teenager.
5:35 pippen and kerr stole the video! that was amazing!
It´s funny to see how that "charging free" area under the basket completly changed modern nba basketball......
OK, well maybe not the majority of them but hey...listen to them during that comback, sure sounds like it,lol.
Check out Wayne Johnsons channel over on dailymotion for the complete game!
The most unnecessary uniform and court design change ever
yeah 30 points in the fourth quarter, if only they would have won that game
@kingtazzy9876 what makes you say that....jordan averaged 37 points a game one year before pippen joined the bulls...if anything pippen took points away from jordan
Cause kobe was the only good player on the lakers at the time,and no matter what yall kobe fans say about michael he will never be him.And I do mean that if the NBA had a vote out of them too who you think will win?
What's your point? He was not fasting.
"Bang!" sounds more badass than "Ring it up!"
@kingtazzy9876 oh true my bad...for some reason i read the word can as can't the first time
please tell me why the nuggets missed the playoffs in 1992 1993 1996 1997 and 1998 they lost in the 1994 semi finals and in round 1 in 1995 in 1996 they went 36-46 in then 21-61 in 1997 and 11-71 in 1998 and gary payton wasn't a top 50 player AT ALL PERIOD and he didn't equal stars scottie pippen david robinson john stockton and karl malone let alone legends shaquille o'neal hakeem olajuwon and michael jordan
@cuttyb87
"Kobe bryant is [just as dynamic] as Mike"
No...he isn't...far from it.
"Mike didn't have the issues with a team that Kobe had"
Who was it that as a rookie, went to a 27 win lottery team that hadn't seen the playoffs since 1981 until he showed up?
Now on the flip side of things, who was it that went to a 57 win Playoff team that featured a All Time Top 10 player (Shaq), and 2 other All Stars (1 of which was a wing player) other than himself?
Even though they did not win
No way Kobe is best. MJ comparisons are indeed ABSOLUTE BLASPHEMY unless Kobe does something else the next few years.
@blackadam06 The Lakers traded for Kobe's right at 13 and KObe didn't lay much until his 3 year, so whats your point? It was Sgaq's team cuz Shaq just came to LA and BTW Mike had consistency of teams his whole career Kobe didn't and still has 5 rings and working on more
Kobe just needs 1 more ALL STAR on his team to help with his championship ring run. It will be Kobe, Odom, Gasol, Artest, and why not just add Dwight Howard?! I mean, all they are missing is one ALL STAR to have an ALL STAR Starting lineup. I think MJ had one ALL STAR on his team in Pippen. MJ and Pippen is not the same as Shaq, Kobe, Gasol, Odom, Artest, Isaih Rider, Malone, Payton, Van Exel, Eddie Jones & Cedric Ceballos. MJ with less talent did more than Kb does beingsurrounded by talent
Good day mam
@szaret1 Thats what Im saying if Pippen was not around he would of had many many points a game,,,
@4Show81 I know itS a old post you made , but whenever KObe gos for those huge nights he is critized and demonized for "ball hogging" BTW Lebron james is all hype but Kobe is the real deal anyway the 81 point game the 62 in 3 quarters make him in that MJ class imo...No youtube beef but I would like to hear your response
@cerfj1 this isn't twitter #stophashtagging
@blackadam06 So if you watch basketball and instead of youtube clips you would understand. Its not about who's better because stats doesn't tell what either of them did or meant to the team. Michael Jordan has always had a better team then Kobe. It was always consistent in its approach to the game, Kobe, on the other hand, has been through more than Mike on any team. Michael Jordan has never played with scrubs that got significant minutes, so his 43 teammates were all ballers
Its ok np,,,
@cuttyb87
"Kobe's [patterned himself] after Michael. It's one thing to [hope to be] like him, it's another thing to [be] like him. I'm with ESPN's Bill Simmons. We have to [take] Michael out the equation. [Stop] comparing [anyone] to Michael. It's just not fair. Kobe [doesn't even shoot] the same [percentage] as Michael. He's [not the same] player."
-- Phil Jackson: "Kobe Bryant not in Michael Jordan's company"; sportingnews . com, Mar 14, 2011
So goes your "they're the same player" argument
damn i noticed the bulls have shitty defense this game except for jordan
@th3orist Even if he had 6, 3 were shaqs he won mvp every year in the three peat, kobe was just there lol
Mj is the greatest. The rest are cheap imitations.
@th3orist
Yeah I know,,,
@4Show81 pippen 360 and 1 but and hall of famer roddman on his team but Michael Jordan does it all by himself? and stever kerr knocking down difficult shots, your ignorant for saying Jordan did it on his own, last i checked an NBA team has never won a game scoring 39 points he clearly had lots of help from his teammates.
@cuttyb87 Kobe was getting scoring titles when he Lakers weren't as good. I love Mike but to think he is leaps and bounds ahead of Kobe is crazy. Mike has more accolades that he got because of his team, but Kobe and Mike has similar games and similar styles of play. If Kobe had a swingman like Pippen now it would be over, so don't just live off the bad defense of the past and this other foolishness, come on son , Kobe and Mike are the same players just different era
@cuttyb87
"the 81 point game the 62 in 3 quarters make him in that MJ class imo"
2 games? Wow...that's all it takes?
40ppg 51% shooting for half of '87 season > 81 pts
10 scoring titles > 62 pts in 3 qtrs
Sorry kiddo...he's NOT
@blackadam06 WOW Kobe bryant is just as dynamic as Mike we all see it now, but Mike didn't have the issues with a team that Kobe had. Mike had Scottie and Kobe has never had a swingman to take the pressure off lol sorry man close but no cigar try again kid...BTW so Kobe can't get scoring titles? he been there and done that. Plus in 87 he dunked and took it to the line all the time but come on son
better than michael jordan... nebody from NBA player now is not close to MJ period...
