The last 56 seconds of that game was just majestic a pure synchronization of minds that made the last note. Layup, the steal and transition for the last shot for the win is the #1 play of all time.
“Alright mike we’re down by 3. Score, steal the ball and score again, follow thru on your shot”. Jordan pippen, shaq and Kobe. A microwave could have coached those teams and won finals.
Phil had the best player in the league on teams expected to win. Phil was put into perfect situations. Coaches are only as great as their player and Phil is the luckiest coach in NBA history
This is when coaches coached and teams had leaders. They lead by example and made their players believe in themselves. Brought out the best in them. The absolute best basketball ever.
@@anthonymarino7718I love Jordan especially being a Duke fan, but his entire career was built on the offensive foul to get open, they never called the push off. That was the beginning of the end of unbiased referees in the NBA, now it’s a pathetic joke full of players like ledouche who aren’t great but the ref’s make them that way because they can foul at will but no one can touch them without being called for the same thing they allow from people like ledouche.
The chemistry between Jordan and Phil was awe inspiring. It trickled down to the rest of the team and everybody knew their roles and performed them excellently. Everybody that went to the Bulls maximized their basketball abilities there, and became greater there than anywhere else. I miss those days so much.
Agreed. The last three plays personified the magnitude of MJ’s prowess and the ice in his veins. Even when he is called the GOAT he is still underrated.
What magnitude?Stockton avg 10 points 5 assist Malone numbers consistently dropped in the playoffs even if I think that wasn’t a great bulls team in comparison to 96 or 97 they was never gonna lose to Stockton or Malone am sorry can’t see it.Phil out here trying to take props he need to sit down shut up and be glad he had Mike and Scotty
Down 3 with 41 seconds left. Score, steal the ball, score again. If you wrote that as a script for a movie, you'd be told to change it because it's too unrealistic. MJ = 🐐
@@rubikino7569I mean TBF when Phil started coaching the Bulls they had already made the ECF. It was only a matter of time since the players were starting to get better. MJ was never the problem. He won MVP,DPOTY, a steals and scoring title all in the same season while averaging an efficient 35 points per game. That was before Phil became the coach. The next season they made the ECF, again before Phil was the coach.
@@rubikino7569 Exactly! Actually being able to be coached, building a dynasty with the same coach. Not getting the coach's fired, ending up with a losing record.
@rubikino7569 😂😂no way Jordan wins in Utah with Stockton, Thurl Bailey, and Eaton. Who was Phil before Jordan? Phil took over a Conf.Final team expected to win. Jordan did that in 4 full seasons with no All-Star caliber teammates. You can give Phil credit without overrating him.
@@JRally6punching the softest dude on your team, losing every year you didnt have the best coach in basketball history, goin to Washington to help build team but made them worst, ruined confidence of a 16 year old #1 pick😂😂. Seems like its more showin why he isnt the Goat than anything
@@mical2great I get it. Never said he was the greatest person of all time. But he is the greatest bball player of all time. Thank you for allowing me to correct my statement. You’re going places.
@@rubikino7569No. Consistently improving your game, keeping 1 team relevant and consistently winning without having to change teams and roster, to attempt to improve the people around you combined with crazy stats, being number 1 in all analytic stats, and being one of the best on the offensive AND DEFENSIVE sides of the ball makes him the goat. Having to jump teams to get a better roster to compete and getting multiple coaches fired is NOT a flex.
In case anybody ever wonder why "Phil Jackson" (13 rings) is such a great coach because he was a player himself. Played in the 70's for NYC Knickerbocker's and is the the only player that got more NBA rings than "Bill Russell" (11 rings)...

They played us tough they almost beat us, but it was the intensity itself that help us win all the talk, all the controversy, ending up to that moment, not to mention the trust so much talent to watch on each team each player wanting that trophy
He's No1 of his Era. The 90s. He wasn't the GOAT OF THE 80s or the 2000s and he played in both. Jordan had a 8yr winning window. That's it. No hating just facts. Another interesting point is why we don't see his highlights with the Wizards🤔🤔🤔 Oh and I'm in my 50s so I watched his whole career. Just my opinion. It's all about Eras.
@@bikesgoodgasbad Yes there is a difference. Deny it all you want. In the 80s, he played 7 seasons, and didn't win Jack!

@@rh5308Jordan dropped 51 as a wizard lol he also averaged over 20 points with the wizards lmao he was still a top 15-20 player in the league even at that age
From defense to offense you saw all Michaels talents on display !! one of the greatest the greatest coaches to have and best basketball coach with best player working together!! I mean still challenging Michael, Steal the ball 🏀 Michael , remember to follow through just remember one thing kids when a coach is saying this stuff to you they’re really trying to help, or they wouldn’t waste their time .. I mean Michael Jordan was still being coached at this time you can always learn from a Zen or the Zen master or someone that’s older than you or more experienced when I was younger I used to take offense to it sometimes but then you learn constructive criticism good !! to try to make you better .that’s was the most amazing sequence of events that could’ve transpired , of course that’s clutch that’s was Jordan GOAT 🐐
that steal that play is what makes jordan the goat ..all that scoring and titles are great but that defensive mind in that moment when the game is on the line your dynasty is on the line and jordan executes the steal perfectly and we dont even acknowledge the play compared to his last shot ..crazy
Phil telling you why hes the goat coach. Man was a basketball genius. He knew what the other team was gonna do before they knew what they were gonna do.
Yup. MJ was exhausted that game with Pippen injured and Luc in foul trouble. So his jumper was short all day. That last follow through was perfect. Also swished 4 free throws at the end and a layup. And the steal....man....what a way to end his Bulls tenure
Love how he said “Mike you gotta follow thru on your shot”…..got the steal, came down broke Russel hit the shot and HELD that famous follow thru which has become one of the most iconic pictures in NBA history.
MJ listen to his coaches from high school to dean smith. Just a theory when MJ broke his foot he went back to train at UNC , he would’ve of had confide with his coach about the NBA and the Chicago bulls at the time, and MJ come back and played a one man team until the 90”.
Him holding his follow through at the end was dope gives the story more impact👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾✊🏾
When those of us who were alive/ old enough saw that, we were in awe.
The GOAT
It was a push off offensive foul watched it live
Even the kid in the crowd had 6 up 😂
@HelloHello-te1ol very weak, the defender was already off balance.
And those are my favorite Jordans to own
Phil saying "when" you score. There was no doubt in his mind.
Came here to say this
💪🏾💪🏾
You won 5 chips with this dude why would you doubt him 😂😂
Greatest scorer ever, 10 scoring titles in an era of hand checking, physicality, and no 3 seconds In the paint.
@@themightyruler1319 To be clear, in the NBA, the 3 second violation on offense started in 1936. The 3 second violation on defense started in 2001.
What makes Jordan Jordan, is all the clutch moments he did.
And consider that Larry Bird has kinda twice as much clutch shots scored during his career
Coldest story ever considering the stage 🤯
I second that!!!🥶
This clip is great to point out to people who think Phil Jackson wasn't one of. If not the best coach in the history of the NBA
@@WVTarheel easily the best coach in nba history, there are none who can hold a candle to Phil.

Facts
That's what truly solidified his greatness forever
The steal by Bird also comes to mind.
@@RoyalMcmorristhe Craig ehlo shot too
How about Ray Allen in Miami. Wooooo but no doubt Jordan is the goat. I remember watching that finals live. Wearing my Jordan jersey and with my pops.
That last sequence was magical.
Phil knows who the goat is
Not sure if he has answered that question. He may say Wilt ...
@@TruthHasSpoken He just may. I think he played against Wilt when Phil was a Knick
@@troyf.9050 He did. And he holds Wilt as the best center ever.

So many players and coaches can learn from these two.
that last shot waas amazing

The greatest ever in basketball even with today's players!!
What beautiful breakdown wow
GOAT game
