Stockton, Malone, Olajuwan, Barkley, Drexler, Hornacek. Man that was one heck of a series!
Yep! When Hornacek's keen was healthy he was a killer.
R.I.P Coach Sloan one of the greatest coach of all time...
The speed of Malone weighing that much is just amazing.
IT REALLY IS!!!!!!!
@Thouzer47 nope. Grant Hill was.
You haven’t seen lebron I guess
@@116gugs a lot of people say lebron is Karl with guard skills
@@sixpack1385 Lebron wishes to have Malone's Jump shot and fadeaway shot
You don't see this kind of basketball anymore. So beautiful to watch. Now it's all travel stepbacks and travel euros and chucking of 3s.
Think about this.... From 1991-2003 the only NBA Champions were as follows.
Jordan's Bulls
Hakeem's Rockets
Duncan's Spurs
Shaq's Lakers
The Jazz faced all of them during their finals runs in 97-98. The NBA was a gauntlet back then!
The NBA was og then bruh
Kobes lakers*
Basit Wahedi
I preffer Mamba’s lakers 09-14
@@kalajari1749 Nah in '97 it was Shaq's Lakers.
It became Kobe's after Shaq left.
Facts a bunch of greatness
That "uh oh" when Stockton got the ball spoke volumes.
Iconic. They knew. Stockton total assassin
I remember that day in Utah. It got louder than the fourth of July. I brought cupcakes to school. Jazz colors. My mom got up and said "its over" i said "its not over mom, its stockton and Malone" she regrets not watching those final moments to this day. I dont watxh basketball anymore, but i will never forget that play.
One of the iconic nba moments of the 90s
that clutch, gave me chills till today
Clutch Stockton 👍
Stockton Malone . The greatest duo in nba history! To never win a championship just seems unimaginable.
Michael jordan lol
It's all no. 23 fucking fault
They must've ran into someone pretty good in the Finals........
They ran into the GOAT.
The GOAT who needed Pippen
I will never forget watching the last 5 min of the game in my parents family room that summer, and that john Stockton willed them to this victory 100%. History remembers the final shot, but he made all the huge plays leading up to that as well.
they should've won at least one ring
(Clears throat) There wasn’t a 98/99 season or something?
@Jahred Alonzo Utah couldn't beat anybody when it mattered. 1988 Lakers, 1991 & 1992 Portland, 1994 & 1995 Rockets, 1996 Supersonics etc
@Chandler Jay Jordan was wade back in the day.couldnt breathe in him or else a foul
MANCHESTER UNITED F.C well at least basketball doesn’t have games where nothing happens for 90mins
How they should've when they were never championship team material...but fans gonna fans
Stockton to Malone!
Stockton&Malone💪
3:12? One second he was in the air shooting the ball, then BAM it just appears in the wings hands. As if the wing put a string through the middle and he was pulling the ball through the air toward himself.
Ppl who call stockton overrated never watched him play
The pass went through a portal like Stockton sent the ball out one side of a dimension to the other side (Hornacek).
Whoever is saying that doesn't know a thing about the game of Basketball 🏀... Nothing.. John was just an amazing player..
Haters gonna hate, but Stockton was awesome.
Karl Malone had a very underrated fadeaway jumper
His mid range J was so lethal just like MJ...
it was automatic
Not that underrated, that's what he was known for
As a Jazz fan, this is my favorite game of all-time. Still remember watching it live and losing my mind.
Я из России тоже в 90 ых фанат Юты даже у нас тогда показывали финал НБА
Зачем Малоун пошёл за гайкой в Лейкерс 😢
Jazz fan here, 1997 finals game 4 is easily my favorite one (we lost the series, but we showed the Bulls we had a decent chance to stop them)
Malone is so underrated
Sad thing is that Stockton was 36 when the Jazz finally afforded the role players needed to send the Jazz to the Finals. Yet even then, the Jazz went through a gauntlet in the West during those Playoffs runs. The Jazz teams that got to the NBA Finals beat Shaq and a young Kobe's Lakers, Duncan and Robinson's Spurs and the Rockets with Olajuwon, Drexler and Barkley to get there. The Jazz lost in the Finals twice to the Bulls. The second time the Jazz had the best record in the League and swept the Lakers while the Bulls went 7 games with Reggie Miller's Indiana team in the East Finals. The Jazz waited for 11 days to play and were rusty.
There isn't enough footage when Stockton was young but he was unbelievable. I had season tickets back then. But in 1987, 1988 and 1989, when the Jazz didn't have enough balance on the roster, Stockton averaged over 17 points and 14 assists in those seasons. And despite the Lakers winning all those NBA Titles in those years, the Jazz took the back to back Lakers Teams to 7 games. If not for a last second shot by the Lakers, the Jazz might have gotten to the Finals in that season. Stockton had 23 points and 24 assists in game 5.
The Jazz also lost to the Sonics in the closing seconds of Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals in 1996 or the Jazz would have faced the Bulls 3 straight times in the NBA Finals. Stockton stared off into the aether on the tarmac (steaming/pissed) while the team was waiting in the airplane after that loss in Game 7 up in Seattle. The Jazz made the Western Conference Finals in 1992, 1994 and 1996 before getting to the NBA Finals in 1997 and 1998 when Stockton was past his prime.
the lakers in the 90s were not ready you said it yourself baby afro kobe was not yet the mamba till the 2000s . the jazz had the experience that the lakers didnt have neither did the ''rookie'' duncan spurs . jazz should have won and the 80s jazz with that 7foot monster eaton was a better team than the 90s jazz version . ostertag was a bum whatever his name was lol. see back then you could be a 7fooft bum because of your size with no skills but in this era bigs are required to be more skilled and not just a big waste of size
I agree, the jazz had a better overall team in 1998 over the bulls but definitely crappy in the finals losing 96-54 in game 4 I mean come on
If Mark Eaton was younger, the Jazz stood a better chance. Eaton was a monster in the Center for the Jazz. Luc Longley would struggle against him in both Finals.
totalmente de acuerdo con tu comentario creo que el jazz siempre un equipo superior en todo el oeste y ni hablar del este, solo que no pudo ganar esa finales del 97 y 98, creo que llegaban agotado de esa peleas con esos equipos tan fuerte del oeste como bien tu menciona, Rockets, Lakers, y Spurs
Hornacek, such a humble legend... Bryon Russell too
Stockton simply took over the game. I don't get how the Rockets let a player that was on fire to catch the ball all alone in the last seconds.
He was open because Malone bear hugged the hell of the Rocket's defender. Should've been an illegal screen on Malone.
Raphael Padiernos damn never saw that
@@raphaelpadiernos7110 Sure was an illegal screen.. That's an offensive foul.. I always questioned why he was so wide open knowing he can shoot a mile away? now I see why..
Epic screen by Karl Malone
Poor Mario Elie got body shut by Malone on that play. Yeah more like an illegal screen by Karl. edit: I believe that was Drexler tackled by Malone.
Here is Stockton showing why he is #9 on the True Shooting % of all non-active players
Player Review really wow!
Mr. Reliable.
This game and that Stockton shot broke my heart
Stockton what a player. Best PG ever.
Best PG ever
@AJ don’t say Magic who played on a super team his whole career lol
@@BooBooDaFoo330 magic is the greatest pg ever. The mere THOUGHT of Stockton being better is ridiculous. Because if that’s the case, Stockton has to be in your top 10 greatest players right?
@@TheRealNeil-kc7si naw I got Oscar as the goat pg
@@BooBooDaFoo330 that’s HILARIOUS
I watched it live on TV, and wow was that a moment of clutch. After hitting that game winning 3, Stockton may have jumped high enough to actually dunk! O_O The pure emotion on the face of the normally stoic Stockton was such a joy to see.
Just as he was a score-first PG in college, he could definitely take over the game scoring-wise when called upon to do so. With a more conservative offense-defense first coach in Jerry Sloan, he didn't really develop into much of a scorer in the Jazz system, but with his efficiency and craftiness, he could have easily have been Nash's equal offensively while still being all-defense on the other end. Really, Stockton was better than Nash but had so much more depth of MVP-level players... not even including Jordan or Malone. What an era!
John Stockton was coldddd
Malone dominated Barkley at both ends in this series.
Barkley's prime was long over he was done in 1991
But by the time Malone was MVP in 97 and 99 and aged like a fine wine Charles was totally washed.
Stock should have been more offensively assertive in the finals.
WCF 20 ppg 10 apg
Finals 15 ppg 8 apg
Every home team won every playoff series in 97. I don't think that's ever happened in NBA history.
Very disappointing that damn mj got in their way of getting a ring.
wweecwwcwtnanba1928 wasn't just MJ, that bulls team was elite. When Jordan was retired Scottie and Grant were robbed of a legit finals run. If not for the blown call vs the Knicks they could have legit made the finals and played the rockets.
They made it to the finals at the wrong time when MJ still ruled the nba. If the jazz had went to the finals in 94 or 95 like the rockets did when Jordan retired the first time, they would have at least 1 nba championship.
Utah dropped the ball had chances to win both years best team in NBA. Always froze up in 4 quarter Aside from the gm 3 blowout
Jrtrooper150 im sorry, but hakeem is destroying the rockets in probably both years. Maybe 1994, but hakeem was on a mission, but his team was also average. Maybe 1994 but not 1995
@@KingThomas150 agreed. The Rockets won back to back Titles when Jordan was playing baseball. Then they added Barkley and the Jazz finally beat them. But it was too late, Jordan was back by then. But the Rockets beat the Jazz in the playoffs when Jordan was out of the league. It hurt in 1994-1995 when the Jazz won 60+ games and lost to the Rockets.
The true legend from this video is Greg Ostertag!
He sonned Olajawon thus whole game.
Greg Ostertag😂😂
Wish Stockton could have hit 3 like that in Game #6 of The NBA FINALS After Jordan hit the Shot over B. Russ. STOCKTON's 3 for the Win...In and Out..Good D by Ron Harper on that Play..Overwise..STOCKTON hits that Three for the Win..GAME #7 against The Bulls in Salt Lake City.. Would have liked to see that! MJ just Took over and Proved Why he Is The GREATEST 6/6 in NBA CHAMPIONSHIP games...As a LIFE LONG JAZZ FAN those Back to Back CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES with The CHICAGO BULLS on NBC were LEGENDARY..Just Wish STOCKTON & MALONE and Coach SLOAN and The Rest of The UTAH JAZZ could have won at least 1997 or 1998 to STOCKTON "ALL TIME" LEADER IN ASSISTS & "ALL TIME" LEADER IN STEALS.. MALONE 2ND "ALL TIME" IN POINTS IN THE HISTORY OF THE NBA. THOSE GUYS DESERVED AT LEAST ONE OF THOSE CHAMPIONSHIPS. MICHAEL JORDAN SHOWED WHY HE WAS THE BEST IN THOSE CLUTCH MOMENTS! WOULDN'T BE DENIED. IT WAS FUN WATCHING THOSE YEARS AS AN NBA FAN AND JAZZ FAN. STOCKTON SENDING THE UTAH JAZZ TO THE NBA FINALS FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME IN FRANCHISE HISTORY WAS A SPECIAL DAY FOR THE UTAH JAZZ AND THEIR FANS! 👍
man,, utah jazz is deserved of atleast a single championship back then compared to the other teams that MJ's Bulls faced in the playoffs/finals...maybe its just the breaks doesn't go their way...
That houston team was stacked too, hakeem, barkley and clyde drexler. Proud to be a jazz fan
E Ip. Yea but they got the old versions of all them. Chuck even says he was out of shape and hurt then
They would be a super team if they were 3-4 years younger
@@kanyeeast4162 look at their stats for the season, they were still very productive
They were old
Never won a ring but hey he's still a top 3 pf of all time
Biggest moving screen in history on that last play. A mugging!
think about this for second. If Karl Malone makes his freethrows in the finals against the bulls, the Jazz most likely win the NBA finals but NOOO his choking ass.. you know what nevermind
@Jay Thompson he missed in 97 an 98 then choked vs blazers in 99
@@ammonbakarri-o2108 god they should’ve won it all in 99.
@@BooBooDaFoo330 Spurs clicked at the right time. Jazz should've beaten the Blazers that year, but i don't think they would've beaten the Spurs in conference finals.
Sad he never won a ring
Blame it to Jordan.
Actually the 1998/1999 season ehh should have won just saying.
Sad who never won a ring?
@@josiahthibodeaux nah Duncan and David Robinson were too good.
@Chandler Jay yeah, all 3 of them :( And Malone even tried to take a ring to retire from the Lakers, however what he got is a chance to watch Kobe and Shaq argue for the best player of team and a experience to take the third finals loss.
The Rockets failed with their super team. That year Rockets should’ve at least went to the Finals & challenge the Bulls
Imagine if Drexler hadn't retired in 98, it would've been Olajuwon, Barkley, Pippen, and Drexler on 99 team. This Rockets team should've gone to the finals against Bulls. This was just an all around good Jazz team.
@@GABRIELA-ACEVEDO. Utah earned their victory fair and square but I'm still bummed we never got to see a Bulls vs Rockets Final at least once, this was the closest it ever came to happening.
@@coreyrowe4119 agree. The following year Rockets were up 2-1 with just 1 win from advancing. I actually thought they were going to pull it off in 98 first round.
@gabrielaacevedo8971 Rockets should have faced the Bulls in 1998 to advance to the Finals. Just crazy how we couldn't get Hakeem and Jordan in 97 and 98.
Rockets had a better chance in 1998 if they had beaten the Jazz. Lakers were inexperienced and Rockets would have beaten them like Hakeem did to Shaq.
That's the only thing I don't like about the Bulls 2nd 3 peat run. They faced Utah twice. Should have been once and the Rockets after they played the Sonics.
@@Melbester9 I’m tired of the excuse people use for the Rockets for being old cause the 97 & 98 Bulls & Jazz team were old too. The Rockets was that one team that could’ve challenged the Bulls with the firepower they had but they didn’t get the job done.
I have nothing against MJ but I hate that his legacy is untouchable & invincible where their was no team in his path to stop him from winning chips. If MJ & the Bulls faced the 97 & 98 Rockets with Hakeem, Barkley and Drexler and the Bulls end up beating the Rockets in the Finals the narrative of MJ would be better.
The narrative would be MJ beat a superteam and now Lebron lost to superteams with the KD Warriors but the arguments become not in favor of MJ when it comes to competition due to MJ not facing a team on that super elite level.
And that’s why I hate how the Rockets failed cause that was one of the few teams that could’ve challenged the Bulls with the star power they had and they didn’t succeed
Best duo ever behind Shaq/Kobe, and MJ Pippen. So sad they never won a ring. Really, really deserved it this year in particular. They just never had a really reliable center. Best PF ever and the 2nd or 3rd best PG.
jackass dumb You can't possibly be serious..
For what he accomplished at his size, I’d say he’s a bit underrated. We’re talking about a normal human being with little to no athletic abilities hold his own for nearly two decades, at a high level I might add. But hey let each person give their opinion.
Don’t even mention curry in the same sentence as Stockton,
Curry plays zero defense.
Stockton was one of the best defenders ever at his position.
Curry has one thing and that’s the three pointer, and if you take curry off the warriors they still win, we’ve seen it before.
Ridiculous that you put that overrated pg in the same sentence as j stock.
Adam Jamison You’re an idiot if you actually believe Curry plays no defense.
Stockton averaged 17 points 14 assists and 7 rebounds per game for like 7 seasons in his prime. He might not be as athletic and flashy as Harden or AI, but the dude is the best pure PG to ever play the game. Not to mention he is the all time assists leader by a long shot and the all time steals leader, so an elite defender as well as great offensive player. You're right, if the Jazz had a decent center they would have won a ring. A shame too. Stockton definitely deserved it more than Malone imo.
bryon russell making threes in 4Q so thats why jazz had a momentum
2 time western conference champions!
Funny how people downplay the jazz but remember they were handing out Ls to the sonics, The big 3 in Huston, Tim Duncan and Robinson in the Spurs and the Shaq and Kobe lakers between 96-98
okay now you have to give context for people that werent around in the 90s . the spurs& lakers were not a championship dynasty until the 2000s sir you had a baby afro kobe lol . he was a damn kid then and duncan was a rook so this is why you cant fool guys like me who were around in the 90s and remember when the spurs and lakers were not this great team so the jazz were more established in the 80s and 90s
@@ryanr20091 come on guy. Are you serious. The west was stacked
@@Aboog11 your comment doesnt address or is related the main point that was made the jazz had the necessary experience over teams like the 90s lakers and spurs so they should have the advantage over these youngsters that are new to the game. all that playoff experience the jazz had we cant overrate the jazz for beating a lakers team that didnt even have prime kobe
then they faced Jordan... And that's where it ends!
Steve “Snapper” Carr or Bill Walton says uh-oh when John Stockton gets the ball right before his buzzer beater.

sick game
Lol, i like the way Malone grab the guy who guard Stockton. Watch this wrestling begin at 5'48. Love the 90' for this
Poor Mario Elie got tackled by the bigger Malone. Should've been an illegal screen called on that. edit: I believe that was Drexler who got shut out by Malone.
Stockton pass first but realizes I have to take matters into my own hands. *cough cough* certain someone 😂
Stockton having his Jordan moment.
Stockton MVP
The Jazz were definitely good enough to be NBA Champions in both 1997 and 1998. Unfortunately for them, they had to face one the greatest dynasties in the history of sports.
now that how u go to the finals
It still kills me that Utah was a championship level team & they would have won...if it wasnt for Jordan & the Bulls 😢
Stockton nearly made history in the 98 finals the same way. He made a crucial 3 right before MJ's legendary steal and shot, and he got off another contested 3 that nearly made it in and would have forced a game 7.
Karl Malone could've been the all time leading scorer
Jay Lee why wasn’t he?

Hakeem, Barkley, and Drexler on one team. Sheeshhhh
This is when Charles Barkley joined a superteam and failed he join them in 96 the year after Houston won back to back titles
Waveface killah
Actually he joined a team of 34 yr olds in Drexler/Hakeem. They weren’t a superteam to begin with or with Chuck. I mean you can call it that but they were not in their prime like say LBJ/Wade/Bosh were. Also he joined a yr later after they won back to back titles.
eazyduzit5150 the numbers that Clyde and Hakeem had was still off the charts when he join the team who cares about age I can see if it was like Karl Malone joining the Lakers. But the won a championship not to long ago bruh rockets last championship was 1995. Charles join them after MJ 4th not to long ago so can you explain to me that
Waveface killah
Naw I mean their last ring was in 94-95, Chuck didn’t join them until after the 95-96 season, they didn’t even reach the WCF that yr they got swept. So yea it wasn’t “he joined them after winning back to back titles”.
“Off the charts” is pushing it. Drexler only played 52 games and shot 43%, which was the 3rd lowest of his career, right after 93 & 94 seasons. He also shot 42% in the playoffs and averaged 16.6 ppg which was his lowest since his rookie yr. Hakeem was still productive but Chuck prior to joining them was struggling with injuries real bad and still was with Houston. So at the time their names together made it more intriguing and it was great to see on paper but everybody knew they weren’t in their prime anymore.
@@eazyduzit-tr3nx Hakeem was a 27 and 11 player in 96. Barkley? Was 23.2 and 12. Drexler was still putting up nearly 20, 7 and 7.
That was a Superteam. They were supposed to knock off the Bulls, or at least be stiff comp.
This "washed up" Narrative only began after Malone and Stockton eliminated them.
Morten Potzdidler
Hakeem was still an elite player, which I said. Barkley though was battling injuries, it’s no surprise he retired soon after that team. Drexler was ok but he definitely wasn’t the old Drexler. Point is they weren’t in their prime as a “superteam”, everybody at that time knew they were older and dealing with injuries. That team doesn’t come close to what LBJ had twice, he either had all stars in their prime or young all stars. Rockets had two 34 yr olds and a 33 yr who was mainly battling injuries as their best core.
That BOGUS foul call on the strip changed the complexion of the game. Rockets let stock 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 them after that!
y quien diría Stockton tenia para ese juego, 36 años de edad increíble
Is there a record of how many Malone’s points came from Stockton’s assists?
the shot
Stockton was an absolute legend. Somehow, Malone was even better. It's insane that these two didn't win an NBA title
No, Stockton is the reason Malone scored as much as he did
@@hockeyfan1799 u Trippin Karl was shooting a lot of fades and creating his own shots out the post
@@gvalley6949 I mean he was a great player, of course he would've scored. Would he have scored as much as he did with Stockton? I don't think so.

There was still half second left on the clock when John hit the shot.

@@Jorich196 The Rockets pissed on the Jazz in 94 and 95, on the way to two consecutive titles lol
Dirty Malone literally holding and grabbing Stocktons defender at the end.
Epic choke Job by the rockets. Foreshadowing for 2019 when they choked against the warriors in game 6😆
Nash play just like his daddy Stockton. True point guard
Karl Malone midrange game was serious bruh
Yep, he was a sniper from the mid range, he was very hard to guard in that area.
Rockets choked in last 3 minutes...
Seadale Threat and Matt Maloney. Big change from Cassel and Kenny.
All the nba legends from that era could shoot a jumper, except maybe Kemp, but he did alright
Dude u got no idea. Kemp had an automatic middy jumper
If it wasn't for those bulls jazz would of won 1997-1998 titles
Man if Charles would've emptied the tank that year ... if he had the same desire as when he won mvp in 92, he don't have to play as good ,but just his determination would've been so infectious, he would've inspired. Charles is a teams spiritual leader , I just feel bad for them guys, everybody is doughy ,look lethargic. Charles was the lynchpin of their success and he brought that "fat boy " attitude to the club instead. Yhey couldve beat the Bulls . Yhem and no other team from the 90s. Legend tho
Stockton was so fucking fast. Holy shit
this is really a beautiful game than spurs
I dont like to call the 1997 Rockets a superteam. Barkley had his prime in Philly and Phoenix, Glide is a Prime Time Blazer. Somehow the Rockets looked like a saturated team with big names and was I a bit surprised that they made it to the Western Conf. Finals.
Basketball is so different now
Stockton and Malone have nightmares of MJ
And Barkley has nightmares of Stockton.
Barkley had nightmares of Hakeem, that's why he joined him
Jordan still has nightmares of Boston. So does Hakeem 😅
I'm dreaming of a parallel universe where Utah won both finals
Rip Steve “Snapper” Jones
Even if they Made the Finals, the Bulls were to strong.
Malone on the fast break is a scary freakish thing, damn, not to mention the way he abused Willis lol
Man, I wish Stockton would’ve won at least one ring. Oh well.
Man, what a team the Jazz were. The best team to never win a championship.
Clyde Drexler? is it just me or did he not score even once?
Huh? Drexler had a great game, was splashing them left and right
Drexler had 33 in the game.
ROCKETS TRADE HORRY AND CASSEL IS THE BIGGEST MISTAKE!!!
Karl Malone had a fkn strap didn’t he? GN!! And Stockton was that…pure PG with a strap as well.
Dam Houston had Barkley and Clyde with Keem and Kenny...Still lost to Malone and Stockton 😂😂 APB out for Houston when Jordan came back..Kenny talking yea we could of beat Chicago MY ASS!! 😂 the disrespect Stockton and Malone get because they have no chips meanwhile some suckers got rings for doing shit 😂🖖🏽
houston was not the ame team they traded all of their depth for a washed up barkley . when we talk about beating the bulls we always refer to the 94 95 team not the the 97 team lol.
the houston lead by 10 in 4qtr in 96-86 lead but they didnt still win game 6
This is post prime olajuwon.. couldnt even block stockton at the basket anymore..
umm, the 1997 Conference Finals didn’t have a Game 7 🤦🏻♂️
It's ashamed how the refs screwed the jazz in 97 and 98
They dont play the gane 7. That was the game six, AND utah sin with a stockton's traer.
Just glad Jordan returned the favor.
As great of an offensive player and rebounder that Barkley was, he was a piss poor defender. Malone scored less than 30 but it seemed like most of those were on Barkley. It looked like a plain lack of effort on the part of Barkley. Then for the Stockton 3 pointer, Barkley was practically jogging towards him with his arms raised instead of closing out on him quick. If you go back and look at the John Paxson 3 pointer in game 6 of the 1993 finals, it was Barkley gambling on a steal which caused the defense to rotate and leaving Paxson wide open at the 3 point line. That was not the guy to leave wide open for a shot.
yes its why we should have never traded our depth for a guy like overrated ass barkley . 97 still pisses me off till this day because we were suppose to challenge the bulls but we traded our defense for this guy lol. this series felt like a sweep because we had no chance to win with that loser malone made him his bitch . barkley needed us not the other way around because hakeem had won in 94 and 95 . i know for a fact that we win if we never lost our championship core
Jesus Christ, is it that hard to stop John Stockton? He’d be tj mcconnel if he played today.
