Now this is what you call basketball. .now you young millenial kids see why michael jordan was the best ever.he did that ever time it came down in the clutch moments of the game.
This Jazz team was one of the best of all time teams. They just had to play the greatest team of all time and I think this was the Bulls best championship over a team that was really great.
It always seemed like Rodman was the dirty player but I think he was holding back because I don’t think he wanted that smoke with Malone fr. Malone choked at the end tho lol
@@whateveritis00 9 of 12 games between these teams came down to the final possession over two Finals. The 1997 Finals was decided by four points. Total. That is incredibly close.
Mailman Didn't Deliver on Sunday..Scottie Pippen got to Karl "Mailman" Malone when he said those words...got inside Malone's head. And it was a Sunday and Jazz could have stole game 1. That hurt...MJ hit the Buzzer Beater in Game #1 in 1997. And in 1998 Game 6 Dagger! In Similar Fashion over B.Russ...We forget STOCKTON had a 3 pointer, that was well Contested by Ron Harper and STOCKTON's shot went in and out and BULL won their 🖐🏻☝️ 6th Championship. As a Jazz Fan...If Malone holds onto the ball and Jazz execute down the stretch and not turn the ball over.. GAME 7! would have been nice to see. But MJ is the Man! He was MR. CLUTCH! GREATEST PLAYER...ALTHOUGH STOCKTON 2 MALONE were my Favorite and Best Duo In NBA HISTORY just Wish we had 1 or both of the CHAMPIONSHIPS in 1997 & 1998. The only thing Missing from both of their Careers. STOCKTON IS "ALL-TIME" LEADER IN ASSISTS & STEALS! ALL-TIME! and Karl Malone is 2nd in ALL-TIME POINTS. He could have passed Kareem Abdul Jabbar if he decided to play a couple more years. THOSE BACK TO BACK CHAMPIONSHIP APPEARANCES in 1997 & 1998 were Great...just wish the Utah Jazz could have won at least one of them. Give Credit to MJ and the BULLS. But STOCKTON is the Greatest pure point Guard of all time and Karl Malone..Greatest "POWER" FORWARD of all time. TIM DUNCAN was a Center who played the position of Power Forward/Center...Malone put the POWER in POWER FORWARD. Only missing a CHAMPIONSHIP.
... the ultimate matchup of two of the strongest and most relentless players to ever put on jock-straps. They, literally, don't make men like this anymore. WNBA and NBA could currently be confused as the same league... by Target shoppers.
Actually, Malone came into the series with a ripped up palm from a nasty floor burn against Houston in the WCF. It was an issue for him the rest of the playoffs. Don't know if he broke his hand. But that also happened in the 2002-03 season when Malone was 39. He still averaged 20 points per game, tying Kareem that season with the most 20 points per game seasons in NBA history (17). The broken hand was his shooting hand. Guy was a beast.
They were nice it's the finals Malone is clearly instructed to not get tossed out for magic elbows and Rodman is instructed not to get tossed for grappling people
What game was the announcers watching? They keep pretending that Malone is having a great game while having a putrid shooting night. Yeah he was totally owning Rodman while shooting 2 for 8. Then 5 for 14. Ultimately 10 for 22 is a subpar Malone night. He did win the boards on this game though.
Malone dominated the boards against Rodman in both 1997 and 1998. Rodman was held to 7.7 rebounds per game in 1997 and 8.3 rebounds per game in 1998. He very much held Rodman in-check on the boards, which can also be traced by rebounding percentage. Compare that to Rodman's 14.7 rebound per game average against Kemp and the Sonics in 1996.
this game winner was a set up for the game winner in game six. MJ went clean left on a set play and Russell played him to the right. in game six it was the same scenario and Russell had studied the tape (so had Jordan). he faked left and crossed over, leaving Russell out of view (with a little help). Brilliant.
Nope, the game-winner in Game 6 of 1997 was the assist to Steve Kerr. What you're thinking of is the Game 6 in 1998, with Jordan making the shot to win the second threepeat.
If Malone really impregnated a 13-year-old girl when he was 20, which is bad enough right there, and still refused to be a father to that child , then it was probably karma causing him to miss those shots.
Horrible defense by Brian Russell at the end. You're really gonna go for the steal when there's only 5 seconds left on the clock? Stay in front of your man and hard contest. He's obviously gonna pull for a J.
The Spurs traded him idiot . He was a lose cannon and the bulls took a huge gamble on him. Hes not Lebron the bitch. Lebron would shit his pants vs these teams
The man had just won DPOY with the Pistons lmao, Malone was good but will never be remembered as the best in anything, meanwhile most people would say Rodman is the best rebounder the league has ever witnessed.
Nostalgia..... man it is rough seeing these things as a grownup as apposed to when you're a kid and feeling happy. The anxiety... these were the times. Loved the bulls.
Basketball was just incredible watch in the 90s
Mister G incredible? No, 90s basketball was the epitome of the NBA
Rodman vs Malone was one of the greatest battles in league history
man how basketball was so entertaining in the 90s
But nba today? No entertainment
@@Clutchcmac19
Not really
Rodman made NBA finals enjoyable back then...so much pressure
Bill Walton: “This is MVP time.”
Jordan: “and I took that personally.” (Hits buzzer beater)
Never seen anybody look better in a bull's jacket
Make NBA Great Again
Carl Malone was a beast and an excellent shooter too. To have these numbers while rodman guarding you ,it's a miracle.
No its what Top players do. Score against great defenders. Its called work

I love the colour and the camera angles and zooms. Legendary game. If Malone has made those 2 free throws RUclips would of had a different name
But he didn't.that's where the clutch moments come in.malone couldn't finish And jordan did.like he always does.the goat
I USED TO LOVE THIS GAME
This Jazz team was one of the best of all time teams. They just had to play the greatest team of all time and I think this was the Bulls best championship over a team that was really great.
I recorded all 1997 finals with VHS, watched numerous times in the next summer holidays, Michael Jordan is God for me at that time.
That was and awesome game! 👍🏻
Scottie walked up to malone and said "The mailman doesnt deliver on Sundays" ..and he choked...Jordan hit jumper.Ball game!
I have been a NBA fan for 25 years. I need to say that the greatest athlete in this video is Muhammad Ali.
Thank you for not talking and putting music 👍🏾
i'm having goosebumps of the last shot from MJ! Everybody stands up before the ball hits the ring :D
Malone got nothing,no 💍,😆
my 97 bulls lit
It always seemed like Rodman was the dirty player but I think he was holding back because I don’t think he wanted that smoke with Malone fr. Malone choked at the end tho lol
defense was a lot better back then
Whos
All 12 of the Bulls Vs Jazz finals games were close like this one was. Utah had the lead in all-until the final two minutes.
Eric Zennaiter Game 3 of the 98 finals the Bulls won by 42 points. Score was 96-54.

karlmalone had been broken his hand in this game
Really, I didn't know that
from slamming the ball?
it was a vicious slam lol
Finger only, not hand. Well, that still hurts.

What was that diss at longly in the beginning of this video? lol
if only malone made those 2 free throws! the ball took some weird bounces on those misses.
Too bad so sad
If he made both free throws, Jordan would have to take a 3 which he was not known for
@@fuckthechinesevirus9462 doesn't matter bulls still would have won the series
@@eazye519 No they wouldn't. It would change the momentum of the series. The Jazz would win the middle three games in Utah

How many point marker the chicago bulls at final?

Enough talk
Rodman couldn't stop malone
Lol...watch the rest of the series...MVP Karl underperformed. Mailman did not deliver.
Back when defense was actually played
The media hated Rodman...
Watch out Brian leads with the right hand instead of remaining balance stuck his hand in the cookie jar allow Mike to go left and come back right
Basically did the opposite of what Bill Walton said about disciplined defense. LOL
Lol. "Dennis does not player power forwards that well".
Commentators hating on longley lol

Marv “Booty Biter” Albert
damn russell loves getting served lmfao
Nag gwa gd pagkanerbyoso ni karl malone hahaha
THE DAGGER
Yall remember Space Jam? Ah yeah.
Malone was the Sergio Ramos of basketball.
Sergio Ramos delivers in the clutch though. Better than Mailman did.
Gosh i wish Stockton would have hit that 3.....
_the mailman doesn't deliver on sunday_
23.33.91
Karl Malone!
7:29
Rodman was the dirtiest player since Lambeer. Malone was bigger, stronger and dirtier.
3:33
Malone could always put up big numbers but couldn’t get it done in the clutch
Like LeBron
MJ missed so many shots but got th last one
hes a different animal when it goes to 4th quarter, all his games matters at the last minutes
If Malone really impregnated a 13-year-old girl when he was 20, which is bad enough right there, and still refused to be a father to that child , then it was probably karma causing him to miss those shots.
He really did do that but u think that affected his shots haha cmon
Nah he just wasn't good enough at the game, and also "mailman don't deliver on sundays"
.... U hv d CHANCE to prove it now russel....
😅😀😅😂😅😀
==MJ===
MJ in yo face B Russell hahahaha
邮差今天不上班
I'd take Malone over Barkley
😂😂😂
If Rodman couldn’t guard Malone why does Rodman think he could lock lebron up?
Because lebron is to soft for him
Did you see the rest of the games? Probably not
Horrible defense by Brian Russell at the end. You're really gonna go for the steal when there's only 5 seconds left on the clock? Stay in front of your man and hard contest. He's obviously gonna pull for a J.
Bryon
Yup move them FEET, don't go for the fake..anticipate the ball...hands up, when he pulls up...one wrong move is all JORDAN needs...
Rodman against " Rocket Man". Do it in a dress, Rodman.
6:00撞到你流鼻血敢在那邊一直揮再跳給我看阿8:30就是故意打你的那又怎麼樣
MJ the goat. Lebron who?
Scott Stuhr James
king of travelling
yeah, MJ is the goat. but some fool japanese friends of mine said LJ is. I think it is crazy
Leflop who wither in last minute afraid to take point, to take a shot leave it to his teammates and blame them if they lose. Yeah dont know him..
Rodman got owned
Shooting 10 for 22? I loved when the announcers were oozing love for Malone when he was shooting 2 for 8.
Malone in that season shot 55%, in that series he shot 44.3%. Malone in no way "owned" Rodman.
@@chac65 what do you expect? it's the playoffs. obviously players fg % decrease during playoffs. Karl Malone averaged 24.9 ppgs against the bulls
No way he started to slow he could never just outright dominate he had ok numbers but not what they needed to beat the bulls
Malone fanboy lmao just like the announcers, when he was 3/11 they were all like "yeah he is bringing his all star skills to show" Bruh
Brian couldn’t defend Michelle.
It's Bryon
Malone got away with lots on this game. Horrible reffing
those elbows... malone the worst and dirtiest player
After the jazz and Malone destroyed Rodman and the spurs two straight years in West Rodman had to go join a champ to be relevant
Ironic cause malone joined the lakers to chase a championship after being destroyed by the bulls two years in a row
Your comment makes you look like a complete wanka and lack of basketball knowledge douche bag
The Spurs traded him idiot . He was a lose cannon and the bulls took a huge gamble on him. Hes not Lebron the bitch. Lebron would shit his pants vs these teams
The man had just won DPOY with the Pistons lmao, Malone was good but will never be remembered as the best in anything, meanwhile most people would say Rodman is the best rebounder the league has ever witnessed.
You're an idiot. Rodman is a top 10 defensive player ever and the best rebounder ever. Go back to school and stfu. Those Spurs teams were trash.
Dirty player.
Malone
And what was Rodman?
Karl malone 0 rings!!!!!!! Period!!!!!!!!!! Dennis rodman 5 rings !!!!!!!! Period!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
