If you think 22 rebounds with 10 offensive rebounds were something you never saw Wilt play or Russell have you? If you had I don't think you would mention this little effect by Rodman.
@ no i actually haven’t, I’m product of ‘84 watched only 90s, but I mentioned this as it was still impressive as Rodman is not as tall as bill and wilt, not even as timy and Robinson, so putting up these numbers against both of them who were also pretty good rebounders themselves is impressive
@@WillieBrown-h6h Did *you* watch them play? 😆 Wilt and Bill played in an era where there were roughly 30 more possessions per game than the season this game was played. Kinda inflates the numbers there. Take care when discussing guys from the 60's - those raw averages are misleading.
Supreme confidence, grit and determination. This is what separates Jordan. I imagine many players today not going for the block or the steal. Here's the hardest working man leading by example. His paycheck that season didn't make him soft
grit ... old school will power ... when he stole from AJ at OT, he was dead tired ( go look at his face, lol ) ... to keep up with a speed of a PG defensively and than turn around and score is taxing ... people underestimated how important it was to have Tony helping out offensively ... Tony don't have a defensive game, so MJ took that role as pippen is out .. still put up 29 ... MJ is just hard working ... on top of everything else ... now we have super star that never play a single game of defense ... I mean pippen and rodman does a lot of D for MJ but it is not like MJ don't play D on his own man ... once he gets older he has tony helping out on offense instead of just giving up on playing d like lebron did ...
What does his paycheck have to do with anything lol? His nba check wasn’t nowhere near what he was getting from Nike and other endorsements. He woulda been soft well before that if that was in his blood lol.
the effort was higher, not so much posing in meaningless games after hitting threes and defense was way more dangerous. people think comparing percentages of now and back then is fair, but there was handchecking so the goat numbers by MJ regarding his midrange are even more impressive and unsurpassed.
@ Absolutely & they never ever should have brought those college rules to the NBA, because it actually helped to ruin the sport 🤦🏾♂️ Now you have people taking 3’s and hot dogging back down the court ( not hardly playing defense at all ) & the entire league is as weak as ( tap water 💦 )
Check out that footwork of Jordan to set himself up in the perfect position, and be able to block the shot of Duncan. Its not just leaping ability, the fundamentals as well.
trying to belittle the goat does not work - jordan had an offnight shooting but he always gave his all on defense - getting the steals and blocking shots and playing a grade a defense. nobody is trying to not give robinson his props, you can see the mutual respect the two greats have before the game. also incredible to see young duncan.
Great video and summary of the game! I remember wondering how Tim Duncan and the Spurs did against the MJ-led Bulls. So, this was fun and great to watch :) Great video again. Take care :)
That is crazy, that’s a 3rd quarter score in the NBA now. I wonder what they did back in the day that NBA players don’t do today? Whatever could it be? 🤔🤔🤔
And then think about this: the Spurs scored 29 pts in the first quarter. Which means they scored 50 the next three quarters and first OT. I think it was the third quarter where Duncan/Robinson and teammates scored 12. That was the thing about Chicago, they could put THE CLAMPS on teams defensively and just shut them down. In 1997, they held Malone, Stockton and Jazz to 54 points in a finals game. 54. Let that sink in. Still a record to this day. The early 2000s also had some awesome defensive teams. I much preferred watching this kind of basketball, where every bucket counts.
@@AnHebrewChild Not me. It felt like early 2000s games were unwatchable brickfests. Every bucket counted? More like every game was a chore to watch. The NBA in that era was basically all defense no offense
Todays NBA is all about who shoots Batter compared to the 90s where the one who had a better defense and most rebounds could win the game, now those days are gone
The last few seconds isn't quote accurate. Yes duncan won 5 rings but that was over the course of 15 years. Duncan never "dominated" the league either and definitely didn't do it anywhere near tto the level that Jordan did. Spurs were outmatched by the Lakers over the next 6 seasons after this as the Lakers reached the finals 4 out of the 6 times.
Tim Duncan is widely considered to be a top 10 player of all time and some would even say top 5. But let's say he's only top 15. You don't reach top 15 without dominating the league at some point. Many call him the greatest power forward of all time. I could go on, but Tim Duncan in his prime would have been a threat to Jordan or anybody who has ever been considered a great NBA player. Even pre-prime Duncan was a monster.
Tim Duncan on Michael Jordan: "Tim Duncan made an appearance on the Dan Patrick show in 1998, where the host asked him his experience of meeting MJ. Responding to Patrick’s question asking his magical encounter meeting MJ, Duncan said, “But Jordan’s Jordan. I’ve always respected him but I’ve never been a fan of his. Patrick then asked him an intriguing question if he does not like Michael Jordan at all. “No, I don’t like Michael Jordan because I don’t like Michael Jordan. You got me wrong there. I respect Michael Jordan.”
Nice recollection of the story. Can u give the commentary on the exact showing of the clip or avoid it altogether, as ur giving away what is happening during the game
Initially I was gonna say see MJ has had bad games the media acts like he is perfect then I seen Avery Johnson throw himself on the ground like a toddler when MJ hit that game tying three 😭😭😭😭. I have never seen that before.
HAHAHAHA like your opinion matters one iota, you made this comment like someone would care if you watched them or not LOL, "oh my i dont like how someone is trying to make some bread of their hard work, here let me leave a snarky bitchy comment to tell them oh so how much i disapprove" hahaha soft af.
I have to ruin everyone's fun and bring up LEBRON JAMES!!! If Lebron shot as poorly as Jordan did, his team would've gotten blown out because Lebron never had the type of help Jordan or Kobe had where he could have a bad game and his team could still win. Of course you could say "sure Jordan shot terrible but he made up for it with his defense, which is something Lebron wouldn't do" And you might have a point.
Damn, look at how disorganized & off cadence the Bulls look - b/c the guy that sets up the offense & anchors the defense (Pippen) isn't on the floor. But let the MJ jizz jugglers tell it, MJ 'carried' Pippen ... 🤣🤣🤣 ..., w/ a pedestrian 12-39 (.307%) shooting. Clearly this game highlights the fact that Pip got to be a top 75 player, by 'riding MJ's coat tails' ... right???
Crying on the floor after his first elbow ... LBJ caught a near washed Tim Duncan and old Spurs team and was destroyed ....no way he handles the Hall of Famers MJ faced in their prime.

Well done 👍
Thanks for the visit
It was hard defense that made look like low offense, its hard to make easy shots back then
Tim Duncan should of had six rings to six dances. MJ has Ray Allen to thank.
that cant be their 6th title Jordan was in 23. But otherwise entertaining video.Jordan was a complete beast every play.
better old days！
Everybody has stories about how Duncan quietly dominated them, and MJ just said: not yet, young fella lol
