This was right in the middle of the Bulls longest streak of eighteen wins in a row, winning what at the time was a historical pace that ultimately led to a 72-10 season. They also would go on to go undefeated in the month January, which was their first undefeated month in franchise history. Ironically, over a week later, this same Suns team would hand the Bulls their only multiple game losing streak of the regular season by winning in Phoenix. Nice upload!
Amen - and I love that it's offensive and defensive plays. It makes watching it a bit unpredictable. Although I had a feeling the 96 bulls would win this one ;) great effort by the suns.
Shoutout to Kevin Johnson he has so many playoff marks that feature himself Oscar Robertson & Magic Johnson. Kevin Johnson atleast 3 more seasons of ball would easily be a hall of famer. KJ is sadly underrated.
Yep, before the Cowboys beat the Steelers (finally beating them in a SB) for their last SB title to date. Crazy that this took place on the 10th anniversary of the Challenger exploding.
@@Melbester9 ironically the Bulls would play another Super Bowl Sunday matinee game 2 years later when they played the Jazz in a rematch of the 1997 Finals before the Packers/Broncos Super Bowl later that day.
@coreyrowe4119 Yup because NBC was doing Super Bowls every 2 years with Fox & CBS, ABC. Whatever networks had NFL TV deal in 90s. What NBA game did NBC air when Packers played Broncos in Super Bowl XXXll(32) that same Sunday 1998?
The difference between Harper’s mobility here versus just two years later is startling. He struggled to move, jump, or guard anyone effectively by the 98 season, but he still had some bounce here. Shame the way his body broke down on him in terms of his NBA career.
@@chrisuncleahmad that was a horrible trade for Phoenix, it made them much weaker on the floor (effectively closing their championship window) and pissed Barkley off to a point where he wanted out.
You know, even though Chicago dominated that season, let's say no Jordan there, well, a lot of teams had great regular seasons ... Look at the personnel of the Suns, they did a great job putting guys on the court who could win after they failed in 1993-1995, they kept building well; even the Suns' roster in 2000 and 2001, they had a stacked team.... I remember Phoenix beat Chicago in the game prior to the All-Star break, Chicago just wanted to party and rest up, they had won so many games in a row and lost a game prior to the Nuggets as they came back from a huge deficit ... that '95-'96 Bulls team was special, fun to watch, played an all around game.
This was the Era that the Refs in the NBA were officiating on its finest..NBA today is Sucks. Bcoz the Commissioner is incompetent in his Job. " Allegedly".
28:31 _"The Phoenix bench feeling it should have been Dennis Rodman's sixth foul"_ Holy hell, the cowardice to not admit that Rodman got away with a foul there. It was blatantly obvious. Guokas didn't understand why a Technical was called on Jordan, earlier in the game, when Jordan had practically been begging for one. What a goober.
@coreyrowe4119 yeah exactly around this time they tended to wear the black uniform more and purple less if I remember correctly On another note Barkley needs to give his rights to Mitchell and Ness I need that black Suns jersey!!!!
@@coreyrowe4119 right it's like I seen them wear those black uniforms more in 1995 and 1996 and now that you mentioned it I don't recall them wearing the purple in the playoffs after 1994

I remember this game.... Super Bowl Sunday & NBC had Super Bowl XXX between the Dallas Cowboys & Pittsburgh Steelers later that day
You're right. It was a split NFL NBA doubleheader that day on NBC. Super Bowl XXX was at 6 30pm. This was early afternoon Sunday game.

Final months of the Barkley era in Phoenix, what a forgettable season this ended up being for them.
Trading Thunder Dan Majerle for Hot Rod Williams……. Bruh

The 96 Suns road purple uniform were so gorgeous. It also really suited the theme and name of the team.
Too intense for a regular season game! :D
Those concord 11's are 🔥🔥🔥🔥
wow the picture is pretty clear, the graphics look pretty sharp.
That was the biggest flop ever seen by Rodman in the 1st quarter
Back when there was half court offense and ran plays for the best shot. I miss these days
I love this channel more nba on nbc please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
👍 yes hopefully more to come!
I completely forgot that Barkley was still with the Suns during Jordan's comeback.
Ironically, Phoenix got a rare W against Chicago a few weeks later in their rematch at AWA on TNT

1993 NBA Finals rematch
Nah
Not quite
The Suns were just a mere shell of the team in 1993. Injuries, underperforming players and bad trades and acquisitions undermined the Suns in 1995-96.
Man i miss this NBA on NBC Marv Albert the NBA just sucks today
01:31 still slaps

21:16 Fantastic hustle by Harper after blowing the dunk.
5:33 Cheap move by Barkley, trying to trip Harper. He's lucky that Harper kept his balance.

This was around the time the Suns started wearing the black jersey more. So did the purple become an alternate jersey?
Those black alternate unis were sweet!

6:50 Barkley's version of thug ball. Nowhere near as egregious as O'Neal but still should have been whistled for the offensive foul.
