@@chrisuncleahmad Yep. Bulls and Rockets fans were were really happy with their teams in the 90s. Even the Spurs fans were feeling amazing after they won the lottery in 1997. Of course heartbreak for the rest of the league especially fans of: Knicks, Suns, Heat, Magic, Pacers, Sonics, Lakers, Jazz, Cavs, Pistons, Blazers, Celtics (losing out on Tim Duncan). Us Knicks fans are still suffering with Pacers, Suns, Magic, Sonics, Jazz and Blazers fans. It sucks that the best time to be a Knicks fan was in the early 70s when most of us weren't alive.
There is so much in this one game, you could write a book. 1. Michael just being at the top of his game. BJ Armstrong said it best, 'Everyone was playing basketball, and he just figured out how to win the game'. 2. Bogues was just something to behold on the court, and held his own (sometimes). 3. Dell Curry's son goes on to be one of the greatest players in the world. May have been at that game. 4. MUCH more physical back then. 5. Pippen was sooooooo good. One of those dunks he had shuttling past Larry Johnson was mind blowing. 7'3'' wingspan and literally guarded everyone on the floor. A playoff game back then was worth the price of admission.
It was also Hersey Hawkins' and David Wingate's last games as Hornets. They ended up being part of the Kendall Gill trade just before the 1995-96 season that landed them in Seattle.
Alonzo did not want to leave Charlotte, and he said he would’ve taken a lot less to stay in Charlotte, but when they told him that you’re not worth what you’re asking, that was an insult. But the Hornet's upper management was terrible. They let many good players go in either trades or free agency because you had an owner who did not want to pay to keep the players. giving Larry Johnson all that money was a big mistake.
It never made sense that the Hornets paid LJ all that money for so many years even after he hurt his back. It ended up costing the Hornets Alonzo Mourning later, who was traded prior to the 1995-96 season cause they couldn't afford him. Especially since LJ ended up becoming a Knick the following summer. Such a shame, because Mourning was the franchise guy they should've built around considering the franchise hasn’t really seen the same type of success or fan support they did back then.
Mourning was never the franchise guy , LJ was and idk why they got rid of him for mase considering that trade bit them in the ass in the 97 playoffs when LJ embarrassed mase and Charlotte and the Knicks would go on to destroy ZO’s Miami team throughout the years. Zo was a black hole on offense and a terrible playmaker
@@andresdelportillo9917”would go on to destroy ZO’s miami team throughout the years.” Lmao How is winning at the buzzer by one two years in a row “destroy”? And “black hole” is just a euphemism meaning a great center surrounded by overrated scrubs…like… well…Larry Johnson.
Alonzo said he did not want to leave Charlotte, but the business of basketball got in the way. When upper management said to Alonso that you’re not worth what you’re asking, that was an insult right there.
5 seed. They were 34-31 before jordan came out of retirement in this season. Went 13-4 with Jordan to get the 5 seed., I believe they were 6 seed or 7 before he came back. They were struggling b4 he came back
always wondered why MJ didn't wear the shadow black X J's in the 2nd round vs Orlando. I rem he was fined in Gms 1 & 2 of that Orlando series for wearing the XI concord joints cuz they didn't match the black shoes of the team. I felt this was the last year of "Air Jordan". the 96-98 MJ was more of the fadeaway MJ with flashes of the late 80s-mid 90s MJ. He missed the last year and a half of his athletic prime 94 & 95. All the highlights & memories missed in 94 & most of 95, I'm still pissed over that "retirement" in 93 till this day
Jordan fanboy it's obvious you don't know basketball Pippin had more success without Jordan than Jordan without Pippin so how can you say Pippin is only a top ten player
Best Era of NBA
If you were a Bulls fan it was

@@chrisuncleahmadthat’s why so many ppl hate that era because those were the dominant teams.
factz...late 80s-mid 00s for me
I agree

Thanks for uploading this! This is awesome and really nostalgic being 14 and living in Charlotte when this was played.
👍
Alonzo Mourning's last game as a Hornet.
Jordan fouled him at 1 second left.Hornets were a very good team that year. Gave 5 would have been at Charlotte .
It was also Hersey Hawkins' and David Wingate's last games as Hornets. They ended up being part of the Kendall Gill trade just before the 1995-96 season that landed them in Seattle.

First NBA playoff series in United Center history.
jordan getting away with a blatant foul at the end there, good game thou
Yeah but the out of bounds called on wennington was a bad call should have been bulls ball.
That intro 😂😂😂 totally 90s!!! ❤
When the NBA was exciting to watch!
Put This Game On NBA TV Hardwood Classic On TV
When games are joyful to watch
The end of the Zo and LJ era in teal
MJ's rustiness is noticeable
WAOUH TONY KUKOC MAKE WENNINGTON A ROCKET MAN I DIDN T IMAGINE THIS JUMBO JET COULD TAKE OFF 🛫
Nice! This series is so hard to find
👍
Always profoundly surreal seeing Jordan wearing 45
Whoa I didn't know MJ won this series without home court advantage
5 seed. They were 34-31 before jordan came out of retirement in this season. Went 13-4 with Jordan to get the 5 seed., I believe they were 6 seed or 7 before he came back. They were struggling b4 he came back
He did it several times, 89 vs Clev, NY, 93 vs NY and Phx, this series and vs Utah in 98.
Doug Collins really knew how to call a game
What a funky fresh intro homie!
Can You Upload More 1994-1995 Chicago Bulls Basketball Games MDBball
Great upload, do you have the full game?

The previous (teal pinstriped) ones were better
Can You Upload Bulls @ Suns Basketball Game From November 20th, 1996 MDBball
There’s a channel called Alex mj that had that game I believe
Dell Curry Is Steph Curry Father
Yes. We all know that but Dell was a very good shooter.
MJ's 13th consecutive playoff series win.
Muggsy must be so damn strong, otherwise a short guy like that would survive the NBA that long.
make the first round 5 games again
Intro music was not it
Jordan fouled Hawkins on that last play

There’s a story about in one of his books I believe “for the love of the game.” I just can’t remember the reason.
@@kik5323 If u can provide me with a link, it'll be greatly appreciated
@@kik5323 link?
Dell curry and hersey hawkins were shooters
These refs were on a mental break this game! First quarter was street ball fouls lol
There's no way Pippin isn't top 5
Top 5 what?
Top 20
45!!
LJ!!!!
Bulls 2nd round exit against Magic
Jordan fanboy it's obvious you don't know basketball Pippin had more success without Jordan than Jordan without Pippin so how can you say Pippin is only a top ten player
He owned hornets before 2010, can you dig it??
