The Bulls-Spurs ‘92 Dunk Show
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- January 28, 1992 - Tucked neatly in the middle of the 1991-92 regular season is this snazzy little dunkers showcase. In San Antonio's 109-104 win over the Chicago Bulls, we get a little bit of a taste of everything. Springy-kneed Sean Elliott hammering everything, David Robinson outrunning everybody, Michael Jordan hitting a Jumpman derivation, Scottie Pippen briefly contemplating hurdling a defender, Antoine Carr doing his best pre-Shaq impression, and more.
Box Score: www.basketball...
This clip was ten times better than this year's NBA Dunk Contest.
Dude I just posted a similar comment then deleted it after reading your haha.
I agree 💯%.
Pippens full aerial dunk and The Admirals alley hoop reverse slam was juicy af.
Jordan is always class when he throws em down.All his end up being posters for kids bedrooms all over the globe.Everything he does makes him $$$.That's why Spike Lee calls him 'Money' haha.
I remember rolling out of bed every Saturday morning getting ready for this sh*t.
Sensational stuff !!!
Preach
And 20x better than the last 5 seasons.
90's NBA was way better then today's game
The Golden era of NBA. What a time to be a young fan.
Old fart
the 90s is the golden era for everything not only NBA. NFL, MBL and IFBB. everything just sucks now. mediocre players getting overhyped and overpaid
@@juanborges8192 stop living in the pást pathetic
I would agree,Great times!
@amateurswami Do you know what a "Boomer" is young no bucks?!?
90s basketball was incredible.
90’s NBA and 90’s Hip-Hop.
Modern basketball shot many 3 point, I don t like, unlike 👎
The intensity in the 90s was incredible. No possessions off & definitely no jersey swaps afterwards.🍺
everything is gay now. wimps
That’s memorabilia, I bet I couple stars back then woulda swapped jerseys if it was a thing back then
@@HI-qv2nv It was a thing back then. In soccer⚽️🍺
I guess these are the “plumbers” jordan played against. Damn I miss 90’s basketball.
You and me both my friend. It was a man’s game back then. Golden State created a sissy brand of basketball and the rest of the league conformed to it.
🍺
Came here to say this! I’m like damn those plumbers got jump! Ha!
@Senna_Grillo12
Most of the guys today couldn’t play in the 80-90’s. Too physical and higher skill level.
@Senna_Grillo12 you’re wildin
The Spurs ALWAYS gave the Bulls problems in the early 90s
That Texas triangle trip was no joke
💯
As a Bulls fan growing up, I only feared Houston and San Antonio. Luckily we never faced them in the Finals...it would have been a problem!
These kinds of clips make me so proud to be a spurs fan! Born and raised in San Antonio. Family tradition was to greet the spurs at million air airport when they came home from playoff games. They used to block off a section for fans who could cheer them on as the got off the jet. We did it a lot. I like to believe I was a kid welcoming them home during this era but it’s hard to say. Unless there’s a picture of the players I wouldn’t know. Definitely have a picture of a very young Timmy and David Robinson. That’s a lonely a couple seasons after the one in this video. It did give me a grin from ear to ear seeing pop on the bench as coaching staff. I didn’t realize pop was part of the spurs coaching staff during the Michael Jordan era. Learn something new every day! I’d give $10,000 to go back in time and sit at this game as an adult! Recognize what you have when it’s happening people! Life is amazing if you recognize it
@@cluckinwing8388 - The HemisFair Arena was a favorite even though it was flawed 💯
David Robinson and Sean Elliott, used to be one of the top duo's in the nba
Sean Elliott with hops. I saw more of the older Sean Elliott. But that Memorial Day miracle shot was amazing to see live on tv. Before dvr lol
@@johnkreese4706 💯💯
@@johnkreese4706 Interesting was that when Elliot jumped, if was off of two feet. I’ve never seen anyone else with that style.
Sean Elliott was the Spurs version of Scottie Pippen.
They were the original Dynamic Duo: Batman and Robin. Wonderful times to watch the NBA.
For some reason the dunks of the 90's are more exciting than the dunks of more contemporary ones.
Because the crowd was more loud
You’d think todays would be more exciting since they’re rarely seen because all they do is take 3 pointers and free throws. But also back then it was more exciting because dunks were still a novelty for people.
@@EJ-gx9hl Correct. I think a decade of great ingenuity and originality from each player in showing off his dunk skills. In this era you don't see that, very little. Just the presence of MJ & SP in a game was safe and exciting dunks. The dunks of this era are boring for me compared to the dunks of the 90s. 🤔
It was a psychological weapon back then. Players were train to go up strong and put opponents thru the rim.
@@quantum1540 agree. every dunk now is a one handed windmill. in the 90's it seemed like so many players had their own style of throwing it down.
That Pippen dunk on Carr.... Sick
Yeah 💯
That coast to coast dunk by The Admiral...the footwork was beautiful...perfect timing in an era where only two steps with the ball were allowed.
The normalisation of three steps in today's game is a travesty. - If the fact that a 3 pointer is worth 50% more than a 2 pointer is this era's revelation, then we've got to face up to the fact that 3 steps has made the game 50% easier than it used to be. and it looks it. (Old man rant over)
People forget how much of a monster Robinson was
That wild cat Sean Elliott was no joke.
And that's with a blown out knee. Who knows how much better he could have been.
Indeed great guy as well.
Robinson’s reverse dunk… some of those Dunks should be more famous
He also used to do 360 dunk in game too
Sean Elliot was a beast !
This 5 minute clip of a regular season game is 10x more entertaining than anything we’ve seen in the playoffs or finals for the last 15 years. I miss when basketball was exciting.
Jordan had all the dunks, but Pippen had JAMS 😳 also the Admiral was graceful with that fast break dunk smooth af 🔥
When the NBA was filled with excitement not just shooting 3s and players sitting out to rest!
Exactly
Golden state is making the game boring to watch
@@Christoff070 for sure
@@Christoff070 so agree..! I wacthed golden state vs boston finals, so boring. Just 3 points attempts everytime.. 😪
@@irhamismail6225 It's about winning, and shooting 3s at a high percentage and volume is winning basketball
@@jeromemccollom936 well. If you're playing, yes it is, but as the audience, I think I want more excitement in watching it. And NBA is not just a pure sport, it's an industry with entertainment in it..
1:38 I love Pippen's dunks, he may be my favorite in-game dunker. He's on the short list any way.
In 1991/92 Nba season, the defending champions, the Chicago Bulls were in such a winning pace that media was talking about breaking the Bulls being able to break, 1972 NBA saeson, 69 wins by the Los Angeles Lakers. But then the trip to Texas changed the narrative, the Bulls would lose against, both Spurs and Rockets. The Bulls stll won 67 games that season and beat the Blazers in the Finals.
That's what's up
Insane how we’d eventually go on to win 72 and 69 in the 2nd three-peat. Shows the dominance of the regular and postseason the dynasty had through.
Yep and a week after the Texas trip Mj would get his first ejection after a triple overtime loss to Utah. Got fined and suspended a game...next game he played: Magic’s 92 all-star game that changed the narrative on HIV. Such a special time in the league.
Lakers record is 2 sewsons, the real beast in terms of win streak was the 2012/2013 miami Heat with their 28 game win streak, all in one season, again im just talking about all time win streak in 1 season
Michael Jordan: Air Time lays this out with impeccable precision.
Early 90's Spurs is underrated as hell
Somehow, they never seemed to go far in the playoffs. The West was always stacked with good teams.
@@gijoey5912 So was the East. Bulls,Pistons,Pacers,Knicks,etc. (90's)
They were pretty much just Robinson. They were a 20 win team without Robinson.
89 Spurs are underrated though. But after 89 players besides Robinson were constantly hurt or fell extremely out of their prime.
lifelong spurs fan, david robinson was my idol... but people dont remember what an all around monster sean elliot was. go spurs go baby
Amazing how David Robinson runs like a guard and dunks when he's 7.2 feet tall.
Very athletic indeed.
Men his size cannot run like guards.
He was unique..Sean Elliott was a force too then
Robinson's 1st dunk was an EARLY euro-step!
Nice stuff, I'm a HUGE NBA's 90's fan, I forgot how agressive Sean Elliot was !!! :o
In the other hand, The Admiral was a REAL beast !!!
Kind of underrated among the centers if you ask me.
Facts - footwork and very agile for a big man - and he could put the ball on the floor if he had to
one of the most beautiful move for a center and always dominant( not against the dream😅)
@@andrealettich 😂😂 yes Hakeem use to embarrassed my guy I remember he hit him with 3 fakes on 1 play and Robinson went for all 3 lol
@@bosshoss1209 these is the one of the most iconic moment in NBA👍🏻💪🏻❤
Once Ducan came out the draft the Spurs won the same year with Robinson ,& Duncan. They were called the twin towers back then.
So much for today's players been more athleticly gifted. Elliot had game. Robinson in his prime best center in the league.
Robinson in his prime was never the best center in the league fool loool
@@TimSimmons653 He was ROY, MVP, DPOY & once scored 71 points. He also recorded a quadruple double & became the 1st player in NBA history to be among the top five in rebounds, steals & blocks in the same season. Was also a member of the Dream Team. That's just some of his achievements FOOL
@@russelturner5771 once again CASUAL. The Admiral was never the best center in the league. I have enough salt for my pretzel
@@TimSimmons653 I watch him play in real ⏲ no other big man was quicker end to end or could operate like Robinson facing the basket except for Hakeem.
@@russelturner5771 Maybe you could claim Robinson had a slight edge over Hakeem in overall athleticism, but even if so, it was a very narrow margin -- for which The Dream more than overcompensated with his ball-handling and footwork, especially in the post.
Also, Hakeem was MVP, 2x-champ, 2x-DPOY (including the same year he was champ, MVP, finals MVP and DPOY), recorded a quadruple double as well, was at some point a top-10 all-time leader in scoring, rebounding, blocks (top 1 to this day by a huge margin) and steals. In fact, the list of Hakeem's milestones is quite larger than Robinson's, both in quantity and in quality, if that's going to be our basis of comparison.
Claiming primetime Robinson was the best is a tough call, to say the least. I prefer to just remember both of them as insanely gifted players and enjoy them trading blows when re-watching old clips of such a high-class rivalry. (And if we are talking sheer in-game skills -- and not accolades at a particular point in time --, we must also add young Shaq to the mix, of course.)
I miss this nba era,tough defences,power, physicality. All these combined with atomic skill and talent. Nowadays it's a freakin 3p contest...
I try not to be the old guy yelling to get off my lawn, but the 3 pointers really have become a detriment, IMO. It's no one's fault, but it really isn't as enjoyable to watch.
Seeing a #21 for San Antonio that is not Tim Duncan looks awkward! Great 90's basketball
I’m old enough to have thought it was awkward seeing Timmy wear it after this. 😉
I've been watching the Spurs since they came to SA. I don't remember who the guy named Green was wearing #21. Can anyone help me?
The Admiral best center in NBA history ever!!!.
Not quite, but he's definitely up there.
Robinson is a great player but not appreciated by many.
Second greatest center of the 90s and top 10 center of all time
He was so quiet and humble, probably hurt him getting attention unfortunately.
@Mark Grace you might be right
@Mark Grace my opinion too but overall I woul still put him behind hakeem
@Mark Grace no not because of that series. its just my opinion that hakeem has the edge
Prime 90's basketball at its best!!!
Who would imagine that assistant coach seen @ the 19 second mark would become one of the greatest coaches ever!
Pop just waiting to take command.
"I'll sit down...For Now!"
and he was old back then. my god this guy really is the kind of species portrayed in the bleacher report's game of zones.
I thought he was born at 70 lol
Pop was a better coach at that time than Bob Bass was... Too bad we didn't have better coaching back before Pop. Chances are we would have had more than 5 rings now.
Sean Elliott’s dunk at 2:24 is so beautiful. I absolutely love “baseline” dunks at the front of the rim.
Best era of basketball aside from the 80s. Everybody was athletic, went up strong, played tough defense. Not a jumpshot practice show at all.
I dont have a problem with this shooting era, its the soft and nonsense fouls and diva treatment for special players that pisses me off
spurs is one of the most underrated franchises. 3 decades of winning basketball between David Robinson and Tim Duncan.
This is the nba I remember.
No mattee what athletes we have now, the 90s just move differently. How could anyone stop robinson barkley oneal hakeem in todays game.
Aww yes the dunk shows of the 90s vs. the 3point shows of today's game. What a transition. BTW, mad props to The Admiral...
"He pulls it back a dunks it in"
Future:Euro step!!!
ELLIOT WAS DOPE
I often forget The Admiral is 7' 1" the way he moves. He was so quick and agile for his height
That only 7 footers that can match that athleticism i think were The Dream, Wilt and Kareem
0:16 Young Pops
My 2 favorite players as a kid. His Airness and The Admiral
That Pippen Dunk Was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯
Absolutely filthy
@@mattdotts 💯💯💯💯💯
MJ dunks looks so effortless smh poetry in motion G.O.A.T. 💯🇯🇲🌴
Rare to see both teams in this era field talent across the roster.
Sean Elliott was the most impressive imo. 🔥
Let's not forget David Robinson scored 71 points in a game. And has 2 NBA titles.
💯
The NBA was so much more exciting back then. I still enjoy watching it but theres no comparison.
We will never see great centers like Robinson ever again
This is more fun than watching players big and small making a combined 25 of 60 threes
You can say that again
A team with Rod Strickland, Sean Elliot, Dennis Rodman, and David Robinson would have given the Bulls a run for their money had they faced each other in the Finals during the 90s. Rod Strickland was one of the most underrated players in the 90s.
All dunks were explosive 💪👍
Facts. This is real life NBA Jam
today u prolly would get a suspension bc u hurt some soft players feelings
Need to show this clip to some dumb kids who call 90's players plumbers.
I think it's often said for 60-70's players.
They're so thick headed they still would think the same even if proof was shoved in their face
@@kemalmighty2288 -
And even the players of the 60's-70's were not "plumbers". In order for that label to even hold water, one would have to go back to the 40's and 50's, where the players made just as much as plumbers and played pro basketball for the love of the sport. After a few years they left the pros to work as plumbers (because they could make more money), or worked as plumbers during the off-season, because they had bills that needed to be paid.
@@kemalmighty2288 nah bro, give a half century, someone gonna say KD, Bron, Steph, Kawhi, etc all played plumbers too. MFs keep saying that despite all the greats in every era before the last.
Damn I forgot Strickland played for S.A that was low key a superteam with Robinson and Elliott
Lol y'all throwing the word Superteam around a lil too liberally now
@@whodat787 nah fam jus talking shyt but those 3 guys all were absolute beasts in their era do you know who rod Strickland is or Sean Elliott cuz if so you would prolly understand but again jus talking shyt
Strickland and Cummings. DePaul connection there.
@@fitness4life67 facts
How do you forget Strickland played for the team after giving away the ball in the playoffs against the Blazers. Game 7, WC Semis, 1990. Heartbreaking.
ruclips.net/video/895OJ4sAXhw/видео.html
David Robinnson is my first favorite Center.
Mine too
2:10
The commentator states that he saw Dr. J jump over someone on a dunk. Has anyone ever seen footage of this? I can't find it.
no but there's a photo of him dunking on a 6'8 dude that is so underrated
Sydney Green and Stacey King are basically the same version of basketball player. Very similar skill set and have the same number too.
Elliot was an underrated high flyer. Pippen was so good this year often overlooked coz of MJ
There is A LOT of contact... love it.
D. Robinson lookin' like Giannis in the open floor. Why don't we appreciate him? Just because he got that work put on him by Olajuwon?
Yes and Big Diesel took advantage of him
@@pCOCKPRO11 Hmm... I don't recall. Olajuwon put it on Shaq too. I remember that much.
@@CarlyDayDay I remember.... multiple times.
@@pCOCKPRO11 I was an Orlando Magic fan 😭
@@CarlyDayDay PENNY my favorite player ever
I kinda miss Doug Collins’ commentary and I’m wondering if it’s a nostalgic thing or that he was objectively pretty good at it.
Both. Doug was truly one of the best commentators _ I used to light up when he called games. Bill Walton, too, in his own way - not as technical as Doug, but eminently watchable nonetheless
@@TomiAdewoleAdetom well said, I also feel like he has a calming voice and a bit of a rural southern Illinois country twang to his voice and it adds to his commentating.
Collins was a fantastic color analyst. He knew the game before it happened and was able to explain it in laymen's terms so the fans could understand. Due to his passion for the game, I think Collins was better as an analyst than coach. He was too emotional to coach.
Spurs was playing on a another level that game
A lot of these weren’t even your run of the mill dunks, this game was loaded with POSTERS goddamn
David Robinson goes under the radar. He was really f ing good
I know I'm still young but I'm old enough to remember Sean Elliott, and I never recalled him playing like this before! He looked like Air Jordan 2.0 here, in front of MJ no less!
That's because injuries took a toll on Elliott. I'm old enough to remember watching Elliott, but to young to remember him with this athleticism.
When no player needed an off night for rest...
Wish the NBA was half as exciting as this short clip. I can't watch for 5 minutes before falling asleep with today's game.
A lil bit of everything...the 90s🔥🔥
It was more than 30 years ago, still I'm much more interested in this video than in today's NBA...
Yes the golden era, late 1980s as well...
"Guys are so much more athletic today" 😂
Not really
Starting to doubt if it was a real game or an NBA JAM play... Boomshakalaka!
bro that no look alley oop behind the head slam by robinson was so nasty.. i was a baby during robinsons prime but even then u could feel it in the city.. its cool 2 b able 2 c jus how good he was
The HEMISFAIR ARENA....what a venue!....from the days of the SUMMIT...the SALT PALACE...the SPECTRUM....the OMNI...the PALACE at auburn hills....
Desde que tenia 13 o 14 años soy fan de los spurs, me encanto su forma de jugar. Ahora tengo 45 y sigo siendo fan de mis spurs desde Leon Mexico.
loved that old school nba didn't use their off hand to push off/hold down the defender when they went for a dunk
David Robinson with the Eurostep before we had a name for it!
this game has more dunks than the entirety of WNBA games in history lol
David Robinsons dunks were vicious dunks.
Look for his other 360 dunk in game
No tattoos, no swag, no BS shenanigans.. just PURE BASKETBALL!
Great game and highlights!!! 👍👍👍 In the early 90"s the SPURS always seemed to match up very well against my CHICAGO BULLS!!! These two teams always played some of the best games to watch!!! They were always close games and would go down to the wire!!! It had you on the edge of your seat that's for sure!!! In the early 90's the SPURS always had the wining edge against my BULLS!!! That was very unfortunate for me as a CHICAGO BULLS fan but it was still very fun to watch!!! Boy how do I miss these years of NBA basketball!!! Today's games are nothing but Garbage!!! Every single play or every other play seems to be called a flagrant and that takes a lot away from the game!!! For that reason I have lost a lot of interest in basketball!!! 🏀🏀🏀
And all they do is mostly shoot 3s. It’s fairy ball now.
@@dropkickninja5379 That's for damn sure, even the centers shoot 3's now day's!!! What happened to the centers banging around in the paint for position and to get the ball down low!!! The game of basketball has changed so much and not for the better either!!! The sport is no longer in any good!!! 👎👎👎
@@josea.garcia3994 I agree bro. It’s sad. Both NBA and NFL turned soft over the last 15-20 years.
@@dropkickninja5379 Yes that's the reason why I don't watch much of both sports!!! I wish they would let them play like they did back in the years of the Detroit Pistons BAD BOY'S!!! 🏀🏀🏀
Yeah that Spurs team with Robinson, Elliot, Strickland and them was nice.
People talk about how Houston use to beat Chicago in the regular season. San Antonio also bested the Bulls ever season during the 90s Jordan era.
Man that eurostep was filthy🔥🔥🔥🔥😤😤😤
When men really played with authority. Not seen baskets worked like that (excluding Shaq lol) since. The NBA was so fun in the 90s lucky I was young
This just reminds me of two things I forgot, what a waste it was Rod Strickland could not stay out of the clubs and in the gym, and that Sean Elliot could ever elevate like that. Wow. There aren't that many dudes that get up that high over the rack TODAY.
Sean was a great player. Too bad his body didn't hold out.
If only the modern NBA got this much actions. Truly frenzy scoring styles!
I wouldn't get in front of Robinson at full charge either.
That was pretty incredible! I don't remember Sean Elliot having hops like that, my goodness. Always remember his three ball and being reall good at selling on his pump fakes for drives.
That’s because later in his career when stop jumping as high because of his knee issues he became a good three point shooter
@@jamesmorgan7300 he also has kidney issues later on
Is it me, is it nostalgia, or do the fans seem more excited and the players seem to care more back then than today?
It’s just you!
You are correct, the nba also barely has fans today. Ratings are extremely low compared to the 90s, plus players don't actually play hard anymore. They just jog and let each score on each other.
Man, I felt sorry for that rim every time Robinson did his power two-hander.
I'm so fuckin glad there's proof of David Robinson doing a fast break dunk. I've always said, David Robinson was better than Tim Duncan. Both great athletes, but David had more flexibility, and it was amazing because he was a center.
I agree, prime Robinson was overall better than Duncan, bigger and more athletic than Duncan. It's just Robinsons prime didn't last near as long, and he had worse teams and played in a tougher era.
7'0" acting like a point guard coast to coast and the jam!!
7'1" actually. A legit 7'1" at that.
less exaggerated "euro step"
Dang Robinson was amazing
All we can do is go on RUclips and watch old games and reminisce
The guy’s shirt at 0:37 is pure 90’s class 😎
And Rod Strickland, the OG of the layup package.
Isiah Thomas:" Along Dennis Rodman and Michael Jordan David Robinson is the best athlete in the NBA.
Niggaz was dunkin left and right this game lol David Robinson was somethin else I forgot how athletic The Admiral was🔥🔥🔥
I remember when the early 90s spurs got cummings and strickland to go with robinson, anderson and elliot. A lot of people thought they might be championship calibur bur like the early 90s blazers it never quite worked out
