Stuart Scott was such a monumental loss. Not just for ESPN, but every sports fan around the world. And of course his daughters 😢. I ACTUALLY watched ESPN EVERY morning before school during this time❤
It’s a different era. No streaming, no cell phones, no social media, no distractions. This was the only game in town. I doubt it would be that popular today.
Stuart Scott is literally the reason I fell in love with keeping up with sports as a kid. Watching sportscenter on loop and hearing his voice dozing off on a school night. Now THAT is top tier nostalgia. RIP the goat Stuart Scott.
Chicago Bulls and the 90s is like watching a theater show, truly a treat! The videography, the production, the drama, the tension, the competitiveness, and of course MJ mystic was just unmatched
Growing up as a kid seeing Stuart Scott on TV always brings excitement and fun while he commentates on the game. His energy is unmatched and spoke the same language just like us. That what made Stuart Scott so special. He always be truly miss every single day. R.I.P. To the Legend Stuart Scott One Love
Same, I was 10, but I won't ever forget that game. I still watch the highlights of it quite often. What MJ did that day was unbelievable. It has to be one of his all time great peformances.
No they wasn’t.Lol u crazy.86 Celtics was unbelievable,88 89 pistons was unbelievable 87 lakers was unbelievable 2001 lakers was unbelievable 83 sixers was great.the Houston rockets won back to back in the 90s it’s one thing winning one chip on the back of Hakeem greatness cause he was great but back to back with that team truly tells u how weak the 90s was.I don’t believe I would have kept watching basketball if it wasn’t for Michael Jordan
@@festusaniemeka3350They literally would be back to back champions if not for Jordan. Malone would be considered a top 10 player if that happened. And Stockton top 15.
@@jordanmartel2937 says alot about the era because that’s definitely not a championship team Malone is a perennial choker in the playoffs in every sense his play drops in every playoff
Waking up early every morning just to watch the endless loop of sports highlights on ESPN before leaving for school. That was my alarm clock. Thanks for being such a big part of my childhood, Stuart. You are sorely missed.
@@StoneGonebird close second. MJ had 15 yrs but was injured early in his sophomore yr and came back nearing playoffs on 95 so basically he has 14 yrs and bird has 13 yrs of basketball play as well but then late 3 to 4 yrs was marred by injuries so you can say he has only 10 but solid and quality yrs with 3 chips, 3 straight MVPs and 4 consecutive finals appearance. Gave it all on both ends, as clutch as anyone, excellent playmaker, rebounder, passer, hussle and shooting efficiency at the highest level
@@Kingdizzleltdinc615Kobe 41% & 31% from 3 in Finals career, most played on Easy Mode next to the best Superstar any Superstar ever played with. Kobe Stans are the most delusional fans after the LeBron Lames
27 years ago Mike had one of the best games in his career. The Epic Flu Game in the '97 Finals. Putting on one of the most amazing performances in NBA history with 38 points and 7 boards winning a pivotal Game 5 in Utah.
True…and if SVP noticed, teams in the playoffs this year have barely been scoring 90 pts and that’s with attempting A LOT more 3s. They were actually playing defense but the games were still exciting with lower scores.
The Flu game was simply an iconic moment - from a player who had so many more iconic NBA finals moments than down moments. An iconic game from a player who’s ceiling was as high as anyone - and who’s floor was higher than anyone.
Sportcenter on repeat. Playing NBA live or Madden. 90's R&B. Laughing at Jerry Springer, Jenny Jones, Ricki Lake , Maury. Living Color, Married with Children or The Simpsons. MTV, BET, and VH1.

Man I remember when we got cable and I discovered ESPN! Waking up early in the morning just so I can catch the highlights before going to school! I really miss Stew! RIP to a sports casting legend!
Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant won their 5th NBA Championship rings in their 30s, before AGE 40. And NOW LeBron James can only win his 5th NBA Championship ring at AGE 40 or older. Michael Jordan won his 5th Ring at AGE 34 and Kobe Bryant won his 5th Ring at AGE 31. LeBron James has only 4 Rings at AGE 40. Michael Jordan won his 4th and 5th NBA Regular Season MVPS in his 30s, before AGE 40 …. LeBron James did not win even ONE NBA Regular Season MVP in his 30s. Michael Jordan won 2 League MVPs in his 30s, before AGE 40. And NOW it’s too late for LeBron James to win his 5th Regular Season MVP in his 30s because LeBron James will be 40-years-old when the next Michael Jordan Regular Season MVP Award-voting takes place.😯 Michael Jordan is the GOAT and Kobe Bryant is better than LeBron James. It is what it is buddy. 🤷♂️🏀🏀🏀🏀🐐🐐🐐✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️
There was a point in time back then where I didn't miss an episode of SC for like a decade. Everyday. And since then its been a decade now since i last watched MSESPN 😂😂
Scoring 38 out of 90 team points is equivalent to scoring 53 out of 125 team points. And let’s not forget mj AVERAGED 33.6 per game in the finals when the average score was around 90 points per team.
I think my mom had recorded this episode for me.... I was visiting my grandma for the 1st time since being honorably discharged from US Army. Grams had basic cable.
The late 90s... what a time to be alive. This was ESPN
PEAK ESPN!!! Yessir!!!
@@unafraidjlay Peak humanity.
So true it hurts ..
Preach
This is how you do reporting kids! No one better.
Well back then the media was actually required to tell the truth instead of just reporting whatever regardless of whether it's true or not
Facts.
@farajicouncil4496 lol media been lying since it started.
Lebron already GOAT
NBA finals a whole nother proof Lebron carried Kyrie
@@___Anakin.Skywalker smh. Why bring him up? I'm tlkn about the reporting skills.
Stuart Scott quoting a Biggie song while reporting the Flu Game brought a smile to my face. Long Live The 90s!
It’s a Slick Rick song you clown 🤡
STU had another one where he goes. "Stop! , Drop! Shut em down open up, shot!

Me too
Yup even tho I watched the Bulls game night before, always watched ESPN while getting ready for school.
“Teams didn’t score a lot back then or really shoot 3s”
Which is true, yet MJ still has the highest PPG average in NBA history, that’s wild 🐐
I forgot how good Stuart Scott was. I grew up on all this. NBA on NBC...inside stuff... ESPN when it was ESPN! Thank God 🙏💜
NBA on NBC is coming back but it won’t be the same.
This is when ESPN was actually good 😅
When ESPN was about sports.
This is prime ESPN , in high school this was the go to for sports
Just the music bring back a lot of memories.
It’s a different era. No streaming, no cell phones, no social media, no distractions. This was the only game in town. I doubt it would be that popular today.
Haha....MTV used to be good too
That picture of Jordan & Pippen holding him is legendary
Like the the first astronaut on the Moon 🌙

Stuart Scott was a natural. He was amazing. My gosh.
Stu was such a special talent. RIP LEGEND
The reporting was crazy good in this era.
Miss these days. Highlights are SO compelling with this style 😮
The ESPN I grew up on.... Good ole days....
The Stuart Scott VanPelt sports center were some of the best. Back to back to back.....
The golden age of ESPN combined with NBA on NBC??!!
NBA on NBC glory days.

I remember this game quite well, doesn't matter if I was 13. I remember the 2nd Jazz series, Supersonics, and the Suns finals the most.
Same, I was 10, but I won't ever forget that game. I still watch the highlights of it quite often. What MJ did that day was unbelievable. It has to be one of his all time great peformances.
I was 9. Still had my white 23 bulls J.. 😅
I Graduated Eighth Grade A Couple Hours before the start of the game.
I rushed home to watch the second half.
Great Memories!
Greatest highlight read ever.
Whoah. That was actually entertaining highlight commentary. Wild.
That Jazz team was an unbelievable team.
I agree. I'm a bulls fan and that jazz team had a opportunities to win games 1, 5, and 6 but the bulls prevail to win title #5.
Facts...ima huge fan of that Bulls team also and i def respected the Jazz ...they were fun to watch.

Never met Stuart Scott but man I miss him. Boo ya. Rest in peace.
Now we stuck with screaming a smith
I miss the 90s.
Michael Jordan is the GOAT of goats, and nobody is a close second.
Seeing how I can find a comment from you 5 comments down talking about Lebron, I think even YOU think that he is a close second.

Teams also played defense
Crazy right an look at it now Trash
If u Fart its a foul
Some teams have barely been scoring 90 pts in this year’s playoffs because teams have actually been playing defense (finally).
R.i.p. stu you were the best!!! I remember svp and him together when i was little i wish more of the world could have seen it before he passed
It's immoratlized in NBA 2k11. The FLU GAME.
The Greatest 2K game ever!! I still play it daily.

Doing it so effortlessly like only Stuart could.
On one end you got to give Bryant props for not backing down but on the other.. Yo B that's Mike 😂

This is the peak of ESPN, and MJ doing goat things
Stuart Scott is the GOAT
Really miss those days and especially Stuart Scott
Bryan: "is it Michael or Michelle?"
MJ: "so you have chosen death "
I remember I was sitting in a Walt Disney World Resort Hotel room watching this game. I will never forget this game.
Stuart Scott the best! Miss that guy! RIP
The Flu game was simply an iconic moment - from a player who had so many more iconic NBA finals moments than down moments. An iconic game from a player who’s ceiling was as high as anyone - and who’s floor was higher than anyone.
I thought we were "done with the 90's."
They'll be watching this long after I'm gone. Blessed to have been alive and aware during the era of the GOAT!
We need more of these old school clips
