That's why I respect Michael Jordan instead of taking the easy road he stayed in Chicago and finally beat the Pistons and won the championship MJ is and always will be the 🐐
Real T.V. also respect the front office also for being competent enough to build a team around him. imagine if Dan Gilbert or James Dolan was running thing lol
actually I think these guys play for glory, admiration and respect from the fans. also there was no reason for you to be an ass. this guy was stating his opinion. also i'm a Lebron fan who thinks he's probably the 2nd greatest player ever after MJ. the point is I had no problems with him going to the heat. I didn't like what KD did though. oh and you don't have to try & speak for KD like you tried to for MJ. what those guys might think truly isn't the point which you seem to fail to understand. oh and don't try to speak for me also since you added anyone else when you made your rude comment.
rxtsec1 I like now much more than b4 that KD went to GSW. And by me stating that you wouldn't even understand why and no.. I am not a fan of KD, I am a fan of the game and when you can't keep your players because you cannot pay them.. but yet you can move around as freely as you want these days.. then how can you not like what KD decided for himself, his career and his bball acumen vs what Lebron did to just win a chip his way. Which is why he didn't win his first year there.. he was so mentally fragile when he can't control things. KD I am beginning to realize he doesn't want to be the main guy although his talent and skill level will place him as that guy. If you dont have a coach to offset the meat headed egos on the team, and implement a high IQ team offense & defense as you see today with GSW, Boston, Spurs, previously Dallas, and up and coming Utah.. then lebron can beat any of those teams and others and KD could play with any of those teams and NOT change their team flow and spirit. And believe this or not.. because this is why I love the move more.. '17 GSW is just a higher acumen and Bball IQ than '13 OKC.
Day Walker smart teams without talent don't win championships and golden state has 2 of the greatest to ever play game as well as 2 players comparable to Pippen
Here we are 27 year later and it is still an absolute joy to watch Michael Jordan play basketball. The greatest Athlete/basketball and most complete player I've ever seen!
@Keyboard Legend Bro he literally will that team past the playoffs and that whole bulls team was lit he was not alone you can literally compare the 2 the way their will drive their teams to win facts cause whit out the players Jordan had he would had never won the all play they position to perfection
I’m in Philly. The late 80’s-90’s Bulls are the only non-Philly team that I would watch even if one of my Philly teams were playing. MJ had no peers. Dude was one of a kind. Simply the best.
I also was in Chicago for all 6, I also remember going to Chicago Stadium as a kid when the stands were almost empty, and then came the GOAT! Luckily I had season tickets the entire MJ era, best era ever in basketball 🏀
@@kevinwheesysouthward9295 i lived in Kensington in the 90's and i was the same way. i rooted for the Bulls even though i'm a 6er fan. those 6 years i watched as many games as i could and watched all the playoff games Jordan was the best, sorry LeSwept but he's better than you too
I wasn't in Chicago...but my cable provider had WGN. And seeing 4 Tarheels on the court in this game, three of whom were on the team that gave Dean his first NCAA Chip my Senior year at Chapel Hill, always makes me smile. Todays NBA game is sissified,
This is why the Bulls were a dynasty in the 90’s. They stuck together and grew as a team. Growing up in Chicago watching the pain the teams went through and what the fans went through as well only made the first championship that much better. I was 17 years old in ‘91 and I’ll never forget that year. Young kids who never watched MJ play in those early years have no idea what they’re talking about when they say MJ had a stacked team back in the day and that’s why he was great. Please. Having to go through teams like Boston, Milwaukee and Detroit each year were some of the toughest the Bulls had to go through. It was ALMOST like winning a championship when they finally swept the Bad Boys, who had given the Bulls the most problems...especially MJ who would literally get beat up whenever they played against them. It felt so good to finally get passed those guys. The rest is history. I’ll always love those guys because they helped put Chicago on the map after years and years of losing seasons. MJ was and always will be the GOAT.
bri rui That what sports is about, going through the grind and getting over the hump. Those Bulls teams never talked about splitting apart, it was always about growing together as a team.
@@jakerojas4942 numbers don't make you better.. Chips Do!.. Personally i have not seen Lebron do anything special in his career. I do respect Lebron for being an Pro. But totally, Lebron lost more Clutch Games than Any Pro in Pro Basketball.. Idk how he's Comparable... Ijs..
I would argue that and say their 92 team was better than their 91, 97, and 98...BUT that 96 team...mannn... I'm with you...just to witness all of the 1990s Bulls teams was a treat. I still remember like it was yesterday. Sigh...the good Ole days
Man this is the pure reason why Micheal Jordan is THE GREATEST of all time in my personal opinion. Michael never lost hope when it came to the pistons he never fold or gave up period he kept coming stronger and better year after year not only just MJ his teammates as well they grew together as team became better all because the leadership of Michael Jordan he is a real pure leader, it kills me how people compare Lebron James to MJ because in reality my personal opinion Lebron wouldn’t last a second in the NBA in the 90s straight up as much as he complains to the refs now he would’ve been a bigger baby back in the 90s he most definitely wouldn’t last playing against the Pistons in the 80s & early 90s he most definitely wouldn’t last playing against the Knicks in the 90s as well that’s my honest opinion. Michael Jordan was tuff mentally and physically had leadership mentality I God to honesty would take 90s basketball over today’s game this is coming from a 21 year old.
I will NEVER forget Jordan's baseline dunk on the Knicks at 15:58 min. He splits the double team in an INCREDIBLE move of deception, THEN dunks on Patrick Ewing. The fake was so subtle and then explosive that Starks and Oakley are still moving in the OPPOSITE direction of MJ as he goes back baseline toward the basket before dunking on the Knicks biggest player. It's THE greatest move I ever saw.
1984: Year before MJ: Bulls were a baby. Couldn't do much. 1985-1987: Early MJ years: Bulls were an elementary school child. The knew and could do some things but were still clearly in the early stages. 1988: Bulls were a middle school child. They knew and could do more than ever before but clearly still had a way to go. 1989: Bulls were a high schooler. By this time they knew and could a lot but stilt had some growing pains to go through. 1990: Bulls were a college student: They were almost there, but still had to mature a bit before they could be an adult. 1991: Bulls are an adult. Have reached maturity.
mganoobkaYoxxx i dont think MJ did cry to stern, he never surrender and his will to win and his teammates are the reason why they swept the pistons he never complained the pistons’ dirty play called jordan rule
back when superstars grow and develop and eventually win a title (s) with the team that originally drafted them and don't take the easy way out and join other established stars in other teams.
Yea i love wen u stay on ur team that drafted u till u retire instead of im never gonna win attitude alone and grind till ur pieces fit then go out like a legend of ur city
@whole27 i might be wrong but im pretty sure i remembered hearing barkley even saying i would have never joined jordan, pippen and the bulls just because of his competitive nature and he wanted to beat them. Obviously didnt work put for him, and later in his career he did team up with hakeem, and drexler in houston, but all three were more or less at the end of their careers. Its more just a different mindset now compared to the 80s and 90s

@@opiousrobinson1997 Another hater so the NBA wasrigged for jordan , he won 6 titles and played 15 years what happened to the other 9 years he didn't win was it rigged for the pistons, celtics and lakers to?
These days were beautiful days when there was a promise and hope for a great future and great teams like the bulls never disappointed in the 90's. Greatest team ever.
And they would be back for 5 more long struggles! Childhood memories right here. Our generation was so spoiled! you can keep Lebron I will take MJ any day.
Yall really need to let lebron nuts breath....everybody knows mj the best and had help....but to dog Bron yall need to appreciate basketball instead tearing down another man...
vivaladanisawsomes Bo the man said they looked old nobody is taking anything from Jordan Geez. Jordan fans are so happy he couldn't beat the pistons or the Celtics until they were older players it was just their time to shine. So many Jordan fans we're so scared when LBJ was younger cause he led an average team to the finals at a young age. Lost to the great Spurs. Give him Horace Pippen Paxon Kerr Rodman 3 seven footers Bj Hodges come on the Bulls we're loaded. Know the game agoMD.
the bulls weren't loaded. cartwright was not a great center, very slow and no vision. hodges was a great three point shooter, but they needed him to replace Paxton. Pippen was a great #2 because of his size and could run the court with Jordan. Horace Grant wasn't great but became a great rebounder, eventually replaced by Rodman. Each player had to up their game to compliment Jordan...
Jordan was obsessed with winning, LeBron is obsessed with being viewed as the greatest. There's several players i would compare Jordan to before LeBron.
LBJ is in the category of Wilt, 2 of the most athletically and physically gifted players of all time, but neither one is in the top three in terms of skill and competitive drive.
I was 9 yrs old living on the west side of Chicago (Ashland and roosevelt)......I remember my neighbor streets filled with people out all nite long celebrating.....brought back soooo many memories
Still watching this regularly....I was barely 15 years at that time, getting up far after midnight in Belgium to watch the games live. Those were the days! As much as I still love the NBA today, the 90's were the absolute golden era of NBA basketball. Players remained mostly loyal to their team, trying to win a championship no matter the odds.
This video shows what the NBA use to be like. Franchise players didn’t jump from team to team year after year. They stuck around until the owners filled the holes that they were lacking. The NBA isn’t like that anymore. Aside from it being softer, now franchise players join one team and that’s how they win ‘ships. I grew up in Chicago during the greatest era in basketball. I went through the heartbreak with the Bulls. MJ was and still is the greatest of all time. To be able to watch him day in and day out was like a dream. He encouraged you to play defense out on the court on top of trying to mimic his many offensive moves. When they started to beat the Bad Boys in that ‘91 series was almost like witnessing a championship on its own. Couldn’t stand Detroit Pistons and it was so aggravating to see those guys kick the Bulls asses every time. It was a great feeling to get passed those guys by sweeping them.
mmafan2223 Yes they were, videos like this remind me how great of a player Scottie was. I don’t know who I’m the current NBA reminds me of Scottie. His athleticism , speed and length in the open court was amazing.
I was 6 when they won I remember my granny screamin I wanna be like mike. Those were the years growing up knowing yall were gonna win. Great time growing up!!! In chicago!!!!
"Michael and Pippen fly around like sleek dobermans" this line made me fall in love with playing defense. Now I will have to watch the other 5 championship videos MJ=
This took me back to when I was a boy ,when watching these games to me were magic ,just me and the bulls the roller coaster of emotions one game would put me thru that to this day could not be duplicated ,and this video took me back to that young kid that believed he could fly thank u 90s Bulls this was like seeing a childhood friend
Yes sir the rollercoaster series in the playoffs growing up. Man almost had a heart attack as a lil boy jumping up and down screaming in my basement with my fam
I used to think he would come fly to me and play ball with me. Hsd a dream he came and visited me and took me back home with him he was my new father lol
@@juliuspagunsan2270 Love how the coaches respected & acknowledged each players strength & let each one showcase his talent while they worked on teaching them to work together as one unit with one goal... to win championships!! Beautiful!
Brother Dee... Great Point. I'm a Pistons fan and truly respect Michael (The GOAT) and the Bulls kept at it and finally won as a team. Todays players leave, setup super teams. Its interesting to watch as a sports fan, but its not the same. The Pistons had years of disappointment, but kept at it and beat Bird's Celtics, Magic's Lakers, and yes, the Bulls on more than occasion. Great times in the NBA back then.
This Lakers team only lost 3 games the entire playoffs coming into this series too. They swept the Rockets in the first series. Then beat Golden state 4-1 and Portland 4-2 in the western finals. Beating them 4-1 shows just how good this Bulls squad really was.
And Magic was coming off an MVP year the season prior. I just hate how new age fans love to slander MJ's accomplishments by saying he only won because Magic was already "washed up". How do you become washed up after winning an MVP the season before?
jizzhunt Exactly , we all who witness the bulls in 90s , knew that they faced tough competition in the playoffs . These new age fans were born after the year 2000
@@jizzhunt Agreed. No way was Magic washed up in 91. He averaged 19 points, 13 assists and 7 rebounds. Not to mention 90% from the free throw line. He was inarguably still at the top of his game when he was forced to retire. In fact 91 was actually one of his best years from a personal stat perspective. This Bulls team was just THAT good.
@@hlf_coder6272 I had completely forgotten that Magic Johnson had just won an MVP the year before. Yeah, I can't think of a single player in any sport who took that huge of a hit in his playing ability the year after he won an MVP... Hmm... I'm sure he's out there. Anyone know?
I wish Jordan in his playing days can come back and play today. All these Lebron lovers (Nick Wright Shannon Sharpe) talk trash about MJ cause they know there r no consequences for what they say. They know Jordan ain’t playing anymore. If he was playing today they would have no choice but say Jordan is the GOAT cause he was too good. Jordan would whoop Lebron and everyone knows it. MJ GOAT
It is something cannot be published in words the bulls are legends in themselves lots of love to MJ. PIPPIN GRANT ARMSTRONG AND NEVERTHELESS PHILL JAKSON
Had what advantage Worthy was hurt. Kareem been retired this was one of the weakest Laker teams that Magic ever been on. Pippen had a great season, 1991 was probably Jordan best year ever. Not stat wise.
@@melvynsngltn27 you said that the lakers was weak on that year then why they enter the 1991 finals? In the first place, you can't be.called a weak team if you reach the nba finals.. dummy!
This seems like a distant memory. I was in tears watching this legendary video. With Paxson & Forman in the Front Office now it’s so hard for me to stay a Chicago Bulls Fan.
I was 13 years old in 1991, and a Chicago fan in ALL sports. My Mom bought us a 48 inch screen TV in May specifically so I could enjoy watching the Bulls in the playoffs. Little did she know what would transpire over the next 8 years😯👍😉
I am a woman but i really love basketball especially Chicago Bulls me and my husband love chicago bulls an a fan of Michael Jordan love the NBA 90s. A solid fan of chicago fr. Philippines
Been on a nostalgia kick. Northern Illinois boy in the 90's. These videos take me back. Got to witness greatness live. Still incredibly enjoyable all of these years later. Great video!
I jumped on the bulls bandwagon when Horace and Scottie came to Chicago and Michael started accepting team basketball with much better players this team was special and I was 20 at the time it was all uphill then.
1991= learnig how to fly 1992= the untouchabulls 1993= the unbeatbulls 1996= the unstopbulls(greatest team in nba history) 1997= the undeniabulls 1998= the unforgetabulls
Great video! Thank you for posting!!! I am and always will be a lifelong Lakers fan, but you can’t help but have the utmost respect, and admiration for these Bulls!! So much fun to watch!
I remembered the Pistons looking old and beat up that year. I knew this time as much of a Bad Boy Pistons fan that I am that we would be no match for Jordan and company this time around we had a good run. But they were the better team and it was Jordans time. I appreciate my Pistons team that beat Jordan and made him into the winner that he is today .
Joshua Ohale Then when the Pistons stupidly traded Vinnie Johnson in 1992 that was the end for the Pistons until they rose again with Chauncey, Rip and that whole group.
Old? They were in their late 20s. Dumars was like 26-27? That isn't old. Bulls just got them beat. Period. They were ready mentally physically and wanted it more badly.
Greg Hubbard overatted but beat the bulls 3 times you know how dumb you sound. We had their number for years but you can't stop a all time great player forever he figured out and swept us.
+Joshua Ohale | How can a team that won the championship the year prior, suddenly become "old and beat up"? The Pistons didn't want to give the Bulls their much deserved credit for winning, so they copped out and cited that they were past their prime. The flagrant foul rule was enacted in the 90-91 season, and the Pistons who relied so heavily on fouls weren't nearly as effective as a result, which only demonstrates how overrated they were as a team.
This was their best playoff games. They only lost 2 games and at least game 1 against the Lakers was by 1-2 points. The BULLS dominated alot of those other games.
When the commentators said a spectacular move by Michael jordan his thirteen secondly field goal , that gives me chills , the best player to ever play the game of basketball mj
MJ was 6-0 in NBA finals... After the '93 championship....his dad was murdered...MJ grieved..left basketball for 2 yrs to play basketball..."IF"...and it's a big "If"...although very probable....MJ would have continued to play basketball...MJ could have possibly been 8 - 0......
Back when the NBA wasn't the WWE. I miss this time in my life but I am so happy to find video archive here on RUclips. Thanks for the upload. This really brought back memories from my childhood.
It’s a shame Magic had to retire early… No doubt these two would’ve met again in The Finals! And knowing Magic and his history, he would’ve wanted to come back even harder the next year to face (and defeat) MJ!

And they would be back for 5 more long struggles! Childhood memories right here. Our generation was so spoiled! you can keep Lebron I will take MJ any day.

Seriously though, anyone under 30 has no clue about the elation of watching the nba through this era. It was magical
Lebron is so overrated... david robinson in his prime could beat lebron anytime
yep i dont see how anyone thinks LeBum is better
Yall really need to let lebron nuts breath....everybody knows mj the best and had help....but to dog Bron yall need to appreciate basketball instead tearing down another man...
Scottie Pippen is a legend
vivaladanisawsomes Bo the man said they looked old nobody is taking anything from Jordan Geez. Jordan fans are so happy he couldn't beat the pistons or the Celtics until they were older players it was just their time to shine. So many Jordan fans we're so scared when LBJ was younger cause he led an average team to the finals at a young age. Lost to the great Spurs. Give him Horace Pippen Paxon Kerr Rodman 3 seven footers Bj Hodges come on the Bulls we're loaded. Know the game agoMD.
the bulls weren't loaded. cartwright was not a great center, very slow and no vision. hodges was a great three point shooter, but they needed him to replace Paxton. Pippen was a great #2 because of his size and could run the court with Jordan. Horace Grant wasn't great but became a great rebounder, eventually replaced by Rodman. Each player had to up their game to compliment Jordan...
Watching while waiting for the next episode of "The Last Dance"....
Paxson meant so much to these guys....quiet, and cool as ice
See how attentive Jordan is to the Coach's instruction.
never saw LeBron like that, what humility.
That is because Lebum is an egomaniac.
Jordan was obsessed with winning, LeBron is obsessed with being viewed as the greatest.
There's several players i would compare Jordan to before LeBron.
LBJ is in the category of Wilt, 2 of the most athletically and physically gifted players of all time, but neither one is in the top three in terms of skill and competitive drive.
I was 10 living on Chicagos west side, what a great era this was and so special to be in my city at that time
I was 9 yrs old living on the west side of Chicago (Ashland and roosevelt)......I remember my neighbor streets filled with people out all nite long celebrating.....brought back soooo many memories
Still watching this regularly....I was barely 15 years at that time, getting up far after midnight in Belgium to watch the games live. Those were the days! As much as I still love the NBA today, the 90's were the absolute golden era of NBA basketball. Players remained mostly loyal to their team, trying to win a championship no matter the odds.
Same here in Italy 👍
Nothing better than seeing the pistons getting upset about getting swept lol
I miss that type of competitiveness lol. Fuck a handshake.
Felt pretty good at the end when Phil twisted the knife in his park speech. 😁
This video shows what the NBA use to be like. Franchise players didn’t jump from team to team year after year. They stuck around until the owners filled the holes that they were lacking. The NBA isn’t like that anymore. Aside from it being softer, now franchise players join one team and that’s how they win ‘ships. I grew up in Chicago during the greatest era in basketball. I went through the heartbreak with the Bulls. MJ was and still is the greatest of all time. To be able to watch him day in and day out was like a dream. He encouraged you to play defense out on the court on top of trying to mimic his many offensive moves. When they started to beat the Bad Boys in that ‘91 series was almost like witnessing a championship on its own. Couldn’t stand Detroit Pistons and it was so aggravating to see those guys kick the Bulls asses every time. It was a great feeling to get passed those guys by sweeping them.
MJ... 16 years after his 3rd and final retirement...
STILL THE BEST EVER... 😏✌️👍

Pip and Mike are the most devastating open court players ever, EVER!
and charles..
mmafan2223 Yes they were, videos like this remind me how great of a player Scottie was. I don’t know who I’m the current NBA reminds me of Scottie. His athleticism , speed and length in the open court was amazing.
I was 6 when they won I remember my granny screamin I wanna be like mike. Those were the years growing up knowing yall were gonna win. Great time growing up!!! In chicago!!!!
Every basket Jordan scored seemed like a highlight reel play.
That's what happens when you play 110% every game!
Michael in his PRIME the true GOAT 6 times to the NBA FINALS and 6 times 🏆
"Michael and Pippen fly around like sleek dobermans" this line made me fall in love with playing defense. Now I will have to watch the other 5 championship videos MJ=
Jordan highlights never get old! The goat
This took me back to when I was a boy ,when watching these games to me were magic ,just me and the bulls the roller coaster of emotions one game would put me thru that to this day could not be duplicated ,and this video took me back to that young kid that believed he could fly thank u 90s Bulls this was like seeing a childhood friend
Yes sir the rollercoaster series in the playoffs growing up. Man almost had a heart attack as a lil boy jumping up and down screaming in my basement with my fam
I used to think he would come fly to me and play ball with me. Hsd a dream he came and visited me and took me back home with him he was my new father lol
Back then it's the love of the game. Now it's all about the money, money and more money...
who is watching still in 2018?
Still watching the G.O.A.T and the unstoppabulls 6-0 🏀🏆
@@juliuspagunsan2270 Love how the coaches respected & acknowledged each players strength & let each one showcase his talent while they worked on teaching them to work together as one unit with one goal... to win championships!! Beautiful!
Im watching in 2039
I’m watching right now march 11 2019
2019 and I’m excited to watch!
2 three peats! Thank God I witnessed such greatness!
Brother Dee... Great Point. I'm a Pistons fan and truly respect Michael (The GOAT) and the Bulls kept at it and finally won as a team. Todays players leave, setup super teams. Its interesting to watch as a sports fan, but its not the same. The Pistons had years of disappointment, but kept at it and beat Bird's Celtics, Magic's Lakers, and yes, the Bulls on more than occasion. Great times in the NBA back then.
I respected that MJ didn't want all the credit for himself
Man, better days. And the greatest era of basketball. These guys are the best.
I'm a Bulls fan but the way they build up the pistons at 17:25
The bad boys and that vintage 90s music... TOP NOTCH
This Lakers team only lost 3 games the entire playoffs coming into this series too. They swept the Rockets in the first series. Then beat Golden state 4-1 and Portland 4-2 in the western finals. Beating them 4-1 shows just how good this Bulls squad really was.
And Magic was coming off an MVP year the season prior. I just hate how new age fans love to slander MJ's accomplishments by saying he only won because Magic was already "washed up". How do you become washed up after winning an MVP the season before?
@@jizzhunt Preach!
jizzhunt Exactly , we all who witness the bulls in 90s , knew that they faced tough competition in the playoffs . These new age fans were born after the year 2000
@@jizzhunt Agreed. No way was Magic washed up in 91. He averaged 19 points, 13 assists and 7 rebounds. Not to mention 90% from the free throw line. He was inarguably still at the top of his game when he was forced to retire. In fact 91 was actually one of his best years from a personal stat perspective. This Bulls team was just THAT good.
@@hlf_coder6272 I had completely forgotten that Magic Johnson had just won an MVP the year before. Yeah, I can't think of a single player in any sport who took that huge of a hit in his playing ability the year after he won an MVP... Hmm... I'm sure he's out there. Anyone know?
LeBron James have no reason to ever have any type of compare relations to Michael Jordan whatsoever. Remember, LeBron live in a “reality” era
Mental toughness played an important role in their win.
I wish Jordan in his playing days can come back and play today. All these Lebron lovers (Nick Wright Shannon Sharpe) talk trash about MJ cause they know there r no consequences for what they say. They know Jordan ain’t playing anymore. If he was playing today they would have no choice but say Jordan is the GOAT cause he was too good. Jordan would whoop Lebron and everyone knows it. MJ GOAT
The only person deserves to wear the number 23 is Michael Air Jordan.
Jackie Robinson that sucker.
they should retire it league wide like Jackie Robinson in baseball
Fuck LEBRON James he fking sucks ass
@@jakelang806 amen
So true nobody should had wear 23 other than mj
See kids,that was the game i learned to love, NBA took over the world by the storm with those amazing games!!
It is something cannot be published in words the bulls are legends in themselves lots of love to MJ. PIPPIN GRANT ARMSTRONG AND NEVERTHELESS PHILL JAKSON
Tom Petty's "Learning to Fly" is the perfect song to both open and close this recap of the '91 championship.
Wow. 90s basketball is like a fairytale:) Jeff Kayes voice as the narrator made me feel like a child listening to my favorite fairytale story:)
I enjoy watching this team win 6 championships to this day, I put the DVD in and enjoy the bulls and my GOAT.
Scottie one of the greatest transition players I’ve ever seen.
Facts
The Bulls' coming of age moment.
"The Lakers had all the experience and the home court advantage on their side...But the Bulls had Michael Jordan."
Jonathan Watson bulls had home court advantage
Watch the video dummy. That quote is from Game 3...when the Lakers had home court advantage after splitting the two games in Chicago.
Jonathan Watson and that's all you need
Had what advantage Worthy was hurt. Kareem been retired this was one of the weakest Laker teams that Magic ever been on. Pippen had a great season, 1991 was probably Jordan best year ever. Not stat wise.
@@melvynsngltn27 you said that the lakers was weak on that year then why they enter the 1991 finals? In the first place, you can't be.called a weak team if you reach the nba finals.. dummy!
This seems like a distant memory. I was in tears watching this legendary video. With Paxson & Forman in the Front Office now it’s so hard for me to stay a Chicago Bulls Fan.
As a lifelong Tarheel fan, it was a trip to watch Jordan go up against Worthy and Perkins that year.
MJ and Scottie were baptizing the hell out of Ewing in that series he stayed getting baptized
What is also remarkable is he kept trying to defend the shot... got to admire a player who keeps going 100%.
HaHaHa! Lol
That game tying shot over Divac , @42.00)was ludicrous. Big props to Jordan.
I was 13 years old in 1991, and a Chicago fan in ALL sports. My Mom bought us a 48 inch screen TV in May specifically so I could enjoy watching the Bulls in the playoffs. Little did she know what would transpire over the next 8 years😯👍😉
I am a woman but i really love basketball especially Chicago Bulls me and my husband love chicago bulls an a fan of Michael Jordan love the NBA 90s. A solid fan of chicago fr. Philippines
When Pippen was tasked to guard Magic, that was the beginning of the end for the Lakers even if they're up 1-0
Long journey for the Bulls' first ever NBA Championship!!!!
Been on a nostalgia kick. Northern Illinois boy in the 90's. These videos take me back. Got to witness greatness live. Still incredibly enjoyable all of these years later. Great video!
I love the sportscaster Marv Albert, the way he announced it, made the game so exciting to watch.
Really like him and Mike Fratello together.
I jumped on the bulls bandwagon when Horace and Scottie came to Chicago and Michael started accepting team basketball with much better players this team was special and I was 20 at the time it was all uphill then.
Jeff Kaye should've done all the NBA narration. His was great on the NFL Films stuff and he was FANTASTIC on this video. So much gravitas.
32 years later, this is still one of the greatest Finals Matchups!
1991= learnig how to fly
1992= the untouchabulls
1993= the unbeatbulls
1996= the unstopbulls(greatest team in nba history)
1997= the undeniabulls
1998= the unforgetabulls
I thought one of them years was unbullievable
I love the 90,s Chicago bulls when Basketball was real.. always fun to watch Jordan pippen
The Bulls 90’s intro is the absolute best ever. If that doesn’t get you jazzed, check yourself for a pulse.
2020 anyone?
Reliving these childhood memories is an absolute pleasure!
Me
Just listen to how MJ responded to interviews. GOAT!
after watching this I dont wana watch todays basketball no more
Preach Yenko preach
Game 3 of the finals was the turning point. Lakers were toast after that game
Still here in 2020 these was the days
Great video! Thank you for posting!!!
I am and always will be a lifelong Lakers fan, but you can’t help but have the utmost respect, and admiration for these Bulls!! So much fun to watch!
"Youre getting a fair shake, just stay in there you never know!"
The last of a dying breed of real refs.
I just thank the LORD I was around to witness all of the Jordan era with the Bulls. From beginning to the end!
Jordan has that sport spirit in him that other players don't have
I remembered the Pistons looking old and beat up that year. I knew this time as much of a Bad Boy Pistons fan that I am that we would be no match for Jordan and company this time around we had a good run. But they were the better team and it was Jordans time. I appreciate my Pistons team that beat Jordan and made him into the winner that he is today .
Joshua Ohale Then when the Pistons stupidly traded Vinnie Johnson in 1992 that was the end for the Pistons until they rose again with Chauncey, Rip and that whole group.
+VancouverChokers one of the stupidest trades ever.
Old? They were in their late 20s. Dumars was like 26-27? That isn't old. Bulls just got them beat. Period. They were ready mentally physically and wanted it more badly.
Greg Hubbard overatted but beat the bulls 3 times you know how dumb you sound. We had their number for years but you can't stop a all time great player forever he figured out and swept us.
+Joshua Ohale | How can a team that won the championship the year prior, suddenly become "old and beat up"? The Pistons didn't want to give the Bulls their much deserved credit for winning, so they copped out and cited that they were past their prime.
The flagrant foul rule was enacted in the 90-91 season, and the Pistons who relied so heavily on fouls weren't nearly as effective as a result, which only demonstrates how overrated they were as a team.
Just had to come back 2019 its just not the same.. 80's 90's😢😢
This was their best playoff games. They only lost 2 games and at least game 1 against the Lakers was by 1-2 points. The BULLS dominated alot of those other games.
The game wont ever be the same as these times.
When the commentators said a spectacular move by Michael jordan his thirteen secondly field goal , that gives me chills , the best player to ever play the game of basketball mj
At guard from North Carolina 6'6 Michael Jordan
Brother Dee
From North Carolina at guard 6'6 Michael Jordan 🤘🏼
MAVERICK 77 either way he still was a guard at 6'6 from north Carolina🙌😊
when I would hear the announcer say it always gave me chills. like watching history in the making.
Got goosebumps every time i heard that introduction. For the opposition to hear that must be heartbreaking to know what is coming
MJ was 6-0 in NBA finals... After the '93 championship....his dad was murdered...MJ grieved..left basketball for 2 yrs to play basketball..."IF"...and it's a big "If"...although very probable....MJ would have continued to play basketball...MJ could have possibly been 8 - 0......
Back when the NBA wasn't the WWE. I miss this time in my life but I am so happy to find video archive here on RUclips. Thanks for the upload. This really brought back memories from my childhood.
Still watching in .1/5/2020
Time 1:14
How much u miss these young bulls back then.gotta love it.chicago at its best
Good old days of basketball
It is 2023 and that layup in game 2 of the NBA Finals by Jordan is still the greatest shot ever made.
17:02-19:20 My favorite part of this documentary, due to the background music. Creates the perfect tone of suspense and drama given the situation.
Absolute best part of the video agreed.
It’s a shame Magic had to retire early… No doubt these two would’ve met again in The Finals! And knowing Magic and his history, he would’ve wanted to come back even harder the next year to face (and defeat) MJ!
He wouldn’t defeat mj. Never 😂sickness or not
@@okeythegoat2332once the Bulls won that first, wasn't nobody stopping that run
to this day no one plays like MJ#23🏀TBE➖
I remember this like it was yesterday was amazing.
Year 2024 and still the GOAT!! 🐐
