Jordan guarding BJ the next game, game 3, was awesome. I know most on RUclips see MJ highlights on here, but if you can find full games, you can see how relentless he was, especially if you gave him a reason.
Only someone from the old school would have remembered that.....I remember years ago laughing at the same thing......Even back then he looked liked 11 years old....
That storyline just highlighted the power of Jordan ... why I still buy his shoes .. .and why I am forever thank for to him for all the great memories.
I remember watching this series back in grade 6 or 7, I couldn't believe that game 2, Armstrong was on fire and Jordan looked way too tired - but you can't win against a vengeful Jordan
How you play with someone and win so many championships with someone, and know that this man takes mockery seriously, yet you go and stare down the bench.
It's one of the reasons the nba changed the rules. Fans were complaining about the lack of scoring in the playoffs back then. I recall watching a Heat vs Knick game that was in the 60's for a final.
I think this was BJ's revenge game which pumped him up to go into beast mode! Unfortunately for him Jordan put BJ's fairy tale to an end when he met the revenge king who goes into God Mode when provoked.
I remember that. Game 3 MJ gave BJ the death stare. One thing people don't know about MJ is he takes everything personal and it showed on the court. He had no friends after the ball goes up in the air at tipoff.
@@williamk2803 Reggie Miller knew. And he didn't give af!🤣🤣 That man egged MJ on to his last nerve!! Miller used to give MJ a run for his money. Even though MJ came out victorious anyway...MJ HATED Reggie Miller. He's credited as being the most annoying player in the NBA. But Miller always delivered. They all still laugh about it to this day. Great times.....lol
Eastern conference basketball in the 90s was the shit physical play and defense most of the games were from the mid to low 70s to the 90s not 135 or 119
krlm2280 exactly! The game was geared around big men shining. This current nba is set up for the guards to excel. Jordan played in an era dominated mostly by power forwards and centers.
Kobe/Divac was 1996. This game was in playoffs 1998. Not same team, but same organization. Can't say for any certain that they'd been in the round of the playoffs that year if he were there.
this is what jordan has that lbj dont, the killer switch on. the more he is challenged the better he returns, while lbj its vice versa he shrinks and dissolve.
There's a video of John Calipari talking about how much effort he would put into not even making eye contact with Michael during a game, it's hilarious.
@BM 20 96-97: 69-13 vs 97-98: 62-20. They only lost 7 more games overall even w/o Pippen for the first half of the season. They were doing great even without Pippen. They lost more games overall but this "struggled w/o Pippen" narrative does not hold when we look at the facts. You said it yourself, that's just how good they played as a team. --> they didn't struggle
@BM 20 Their record before Pippen (26-12) was on pace to a 56-win season, a mere 6 games behind with Pippen only joining in the second half (62 wins). It seems like you need a dictionary (or maybe a functioning brain) because you have no idea what "struggle" means. Sidenote: Obviously they are better with Pippen playing for the whole season, genius you truly are for figuring that out. clownass
@BM 20 So? The team is obviously better with Pippen playing. The point is they didn't struggle without Pippen, this is not a debate whether Pippen would improve the team (because pippen obviously does). reading comprehension is key
Love Dominique. I'm in my 40's, and basketball was my life for more than half. And I think its all because of Wilkins. I remember the night, basketball on tbs i believe. Atlanta Hawks were on, i was like 6 or 7 years old and it was my first glimpse at nba basketball. I saw him play and I wanted to be just like him.
B.J. was not traded by the Bulls, he was left unprotected by the team in the 95-96 draft expansion and picked by the Raptors, THEN traded for the G.S. Warriors. This is why he was pissed off and facing the Bulls bench after his big buckets in the play-offs.
I thought this very same thing!! And both were BEASTS with the 3's!! And both would end up playing with the Bulls, alongside the GOAT of basketball, and win multiple championship rings!! (Although different times)
I remember that bulls press conference after the series. B.j. knew dat shit. Don't piss jordan off! Bet he went to the locker room after the game like "what the hell did I just do....crap"
He's from Detroit, so #11 Isiah is his idol. But at Golden State he probably didn't wanna wear #10 because the great Tim Hardaway had played there before.

You are a remarkable individual analysing basketball history, strategy, and player talent (physical, intellectual, team-mate personality) that makes your communication very high level. I hope you get respected by "respected" news entities in the future, and if not please know some of us highly appreciate your work.
Cool video, good story I had not heard about BJ. BTM judging from your background, is it fair to guess you are a lifelong Knicks fan who also idolizes Jordan? I see a lot of MJ on one side and a Ewing jersey and a Carmelo Anthony jersey on the other side. If that is the case then I can definitely relate. Keep up the good work.
Love your work. However, B.J. never averaged double figures with the Hornets; outside of his Bull's tenure, he only averaged double figures once in his career at that was his first season at Golden State.
What an honor Dominique Wilkins gave to you to do the intro. Very cool!

You can't breathe on some players or it's a foul. The NBA is soft just like the NFL.
surprised BJ did that, he always came off pretty level-headed, guess he had a temporary lapse in memory about the monster that was MJ
He might've been holding a grudge that the Bulls traded him.
Lost his damn mind.
Everyone wants tu destroy their former team. He's a competitor that was use tu trash talk sessions from hard practices wit the bulls probably
