Jazz fan here. Thanks for posting this. The 97-98 Jazz eliminated the Kobe-Shaq Lakers (twice), the Drexler-Barkley-Olajawon Rockets (twice), and these Spurs before falling to the Bulls (twice). Those were the only teams to win an NBA title between 1991 and 2003. Holy cow!
Would love to see the Jazz get one this year. Hopefully with a full capacity crowd by the Finals
Excellent point. The 1997 and 1998 Utah Jazz beat all of the teams who won championships over that 12-year span except the Bulls. I always felt the Jazz were the better team against the Bulls both years and although they didn't beat the Bulls, I'm super proud to be a John Stockton and Karl Malone fan because they are true Champions because they never gave up, they always came back year after year again and again and defied all the odds. They are the oldest starting players ever to reach the NBA Finals for their first time. At their 12 and 13 year marks in the NBA when they reached the 1997 Finals most legends are retiring at their 12th and 13th years whereas in comparison Stockton and Malone were leading the Jazz to the Finals at the same point in their careers. Not to mention they each played 19 seasons and played at All-Star levels every single season. Non one ever played longer and stronger than Stockton and Malone.
Kobe wasn't second option at that time, that belonged to Nick and EJ.
Rip utah jazz head coach he was a real fighter ..i can't believe Malone and Stockton never won a title.great duo players.
they would’ve won 2 titles, if it wasn’t for Jordan
@@Realistic316they still had plenty of other years .. in 95 they choked and lost in round 1 lost a win or go home game on there home floor 🤷🏾♂️their other chance was in 99 but they lost to Portland
They had the second best odds in 99
@@MarcusGunther-mt7gf i know what you’re saying, but plenty of other teams didn’t win in certain years, but won in other years…. so if the Jazz won those 2 titles in 1997 and 1998, those others years wouldn’t matter… they just unfortunately had to play against Jordan… same thing goes for Barkley in 1993, when the Suns were awesome.. but they had to play Jordan in the finals
1997 and 1998 Utah Jazz went 7-1 against the Shaq-Kobe Lakers in 2 playoff series, 4-1 against the Robinson-Duncan S.A. Spurs in 1 playoff series, 7-4 against Olajuwon-Barkley-Drexler Houston Rockets in 2 playoff series, and 4-8 against the Chicago Bulls in 2 NBA Finals playoff series with 6 of those 8 losses being decided in the last seconds. The Jazz beat all the teams in these 2 years who won the championships from 1991 until 2003 except the Bulls. This makes the Stockton and Malone and Hornacek 1997 and 1998 Utah Jazz team one of the greatest in history.
And if Utah won Game 6 against Chicago in '98, that would have forced a Game 7 at home with a Scottie Pippen who had a hurt back and a Michael Jordan who was exhausted. The Jazz probably would have won Game 7 and the championship. Very competitive series with the Bulls both years. Great basketball between the 2 very competitive teams.
From 1991 - 2003, the only teams who won the nba title:
Jordan's Bulls
Hakeem's Rockets
Duncan's Spurs
Shaq's Lakers.
In their playoff runs in 97-98, the Jazz went head to head with all of them, and came out with a record of 5-2 in the series and 26-14 in the individual playoff games.
He faced a rookie Duncan, declining Hakeem, and pre-Phil Lakers, so it didn't count
They wouldn't have beaten the Spurs in this one, if the Spurs had Sean Elliott.
@@arsonhakobyan would have been a closer series but the Jazz still win.
@@ericruiz1036 Spurs were literally 1 possession away from winning each of the 1st 2 games in Utah. Then they absolutely annihilated the Jazz by like 30+pts is in Game 3. It was kind of too late at that point, aside from the Spurs still being w/o Sean Elliott. I know there's chaos theory, but to me, Sean Elliott as an elite wing (not mega superstar or anything), is worth way more than just 1 possession. Throw Sean in there, and it's basically the same Spurs team that won the title the next yr, and this series was much closer than your typical gentleman's sweep. Without getting at least 1 of those 1st 2 games @ Delta Center, the way those games ended, Spurs had really no chance.
@@arsonhakobyan to say the 98 Spurs with a healthy Elliot were as good as the 99 Spurs is grossly undervaluing how much Duncan developed from his rookie to his 2nd year.
Nice watching the veteran Karl Malone blowing by the younger Tim Duncan whenever Duncan tried to guard Karl in the perimeter.
Keep those Jazz videos coming. Thanks!
The Spurs were starting Robinson, Duncan, and Will Purdue. Good golly that's a huge lineup, with three seven-footers.
3-headed monster.
i know it's pretty randomly asking but does anyone know a good site to watch new series online ?
Back from when dinosaurs ruled the earth 😆 now it's all tiny and athletic kittens

5:13 Amazing how Duncan made the glass-shot look so easy throughout his career, when from that angle on the timestamp, it looks so difficult and unreal that any player would even try a bank-shot-jumper
Even in this rewind you can tell Duncan is playing Center position as David Robinson plays against Karl Malone and Duncan defends Greg Foster at Center position.
I think it was more a matter of the particular matchup rather than a position switch. Malone used to defend the likes of O'neal, Robinson or Longley while sharing the court with Greg Foster or Antoine Carr too.
Actually they started Duncan at the 3 at this point. He starts defensively on Russell but as Will Perdue (starter next to Robinson and Duncan) doesn't get as many minutes he switches to the "Big-Matchup"
Duncan v. Malone. Classic.
Robinson*
Que gran equipo fue el Utah jazz 97 y 98 , lo recuerdo como ubiese sido ayer ... Saludos desde Chile 🇨🇱🏀🎷
I loved this Jazz logo, jerseys, and the Delta Center
where we can buy t-shirts with this Jazz logo?
This game was hype!! I love the Jazz team.
it's nice to meet you and i'm curious so please tell me what makes you fond of this and/or other jazz teams
They're my fav because of John Stockon, Karl Malone, Jeff hornacek, and more.They should have won it all!!
@@queenkay82 you make sense and the jazz played the bulls really well in the 1997 finals more so than they did in the 1998 finals but karl malone didn't equal michael jordan who didn't quite equal kareem abdul-jabbar oscar robertson wilt chamberlain and bill russell
@@youtuber3328 true, how old are you?
@@queenkay82 36 years of age please tell me why you asked i'm curious
Rookie Duncan 🔥🏀
Sometimes fans forget that all 19 years in row Duncan’s career he made playoffs. Very rare now for any superstar now.
Stockton and Malone never missed the Playoffs either.
I would like to know who is the genius in the Jazz organization that gave away Antoine Carr and Chris Morris for the 1999 season. If both had remained, maybe the Jazz could have finally won the title.
Jerry sloan hated chriss Morris- to our demise
Last time Jazz owned the Spurs. The following season would be the beginning of Spurs first championship.
wow, San Antonio looked so bad with both Duncan and Robinson
If Sean Elliott wasn’t injured, the Spurs would have a 3rd scorer to back up Robinson and Duncan and would cause the Jazz more problems coz Elliott could score from anywhere and he’s a good 3-point shooter
AMEN BROTHER AMEN!!!!!!!!!! I HAD FORGOTTEN SEAN ELLIOTT WAS INJURED DURING THIS SERIES. SPURS WOULD HAVE HAD GAME 1 AND GAME 2 WITH SEAN ELLIOTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Back in the day when to be the best, you had to beat the best....WHHHOOOOO!!!
Uh how is that different now? Let me guess... "The don't play like this anymore". Pretty funny because I remember in the 90s people bitching and moaning about how the league was nothing compared to the 60s-80s.
Anthony Hutchins uh... no it’s because they all team up dummy.. lebron started the shit where all the best players team up... it’s weak
Anthony Hutchins u remember that in the 90s? I don’t At all
@@TheSands83 well it's not his fault that cavs management sucks, without LeBron what they have done?
#23 Luis what? They put a stacked squad around lebron.. wtf r u going on about?
Exactly, Malone had to go up against Phil Jackson but Duncan had to see Phil Jackson almost every year in the Western Conference. Yet Duncan did get past him once, more than Malone did.
Jackson? I think u r forgetting a big factor.. jordan
Who is the greatest power forward ever? Here's your answer at the 8:38 minute mark.
100% accurate
Tim Duncan
I wish utah could of won at least one ring in the 90s THEY had hot players and a coach
Could have
Jordan had to exist
They never had anyone get "hot" for them off the bench, like Vinnie The Microwave Johnson, when they needed it most.
They had a great duo and a great coach but they didnt have the other pieces
@@whats_holden_up wrong, if not bulls in finals, jazz would have won two championships
Pop was wrong about Malone using an elbow on that play. Silly Pop
It was actually a knee Robinson and Del Negro we’re showing a knee to the Refs I don’t know what elbow Pop saw
Hum ...He came into the league in 97 and played against Malone at his best obviously (MVP 97 and 99), then He faced the Shaq (Duncan often played center) in his prime and was the only player who could resist him. Then, in the 00's, he played against Garnett and Nowitski (2 future all of famers) at their best, plus very great other pf such as Webber, Rasheed Wallace, Jermaine O'Neal, Amare Stoudemire etc. I think he would have dominated the same way in the 90's, had he been born 10 years sooner.
Played center? That been Robinson
Pierrick Behar that's why he's the greatest power forward of all time.
@Bruno Entringer
That's revisionist history, the majority didn't take Portland seriously until they had a 3-1 lead against Utah, and even then some thought they would've blown the lead. Did you forget that Duncan had a tough time getting past the Lakers when Phil Jackson was the coach there. He didn't have it easy at all.
Holy shit. Pop had Hair. :D
ballhandling too. Duncan will occasionally run the break & can drive to the bucket using either hand, things Malone couldn't do. His drives consistent of bulling his way into/through defenders & getting to the line.
Yep. This is going in the downbeat tomorrow . . . thanks man!
Brings back old memories
Brian Grant was tough as nails. He could've played in any era. Davis too, my point is these guys had the strength & skill to guard any 4 or 5 & at least hold their own. If they weren't all-star players so what? I listed 5 perennial all-star PF's before I mentioned them. The whole reason the West was dominant over the East from 1999-2004 was the amazing collection of big men in the conference, and Duncan was the best of the bunch.
The Mavericks had a superstar PF, the Timberwolves had a superstar PF, the Suns had a superstar PF, even the Pistons had an All-Star caliber PF at the time. If anything Shaq played against nobody, he didn't make the first team until the Knicks and Rockets fell off in the late 90's and the Spurs go-to scorer was Tim Duncan.
I miss these days.
Duncan debuted during the 1998 season and played well against veteran forwards like Malone, Barkley, Oakley, and McDyess. While Barkley, Malone and McHale are great forwards, I still put Duncan ahead of Barkley and McHale. Overall Malone's numbers are far more impressive but Duncan is also a very clutch player and Malone struggled with consistency during the both the 97 and 98 finals. Also, Tim Duncan did have some legit talent to match up against such as Garnett, Webber, Wallace.
Alamo Ranger Dennis Rodman was just so good, he gave Malone fits. If you replaced him with anyone else he probably would've did amazing.
Duncan was already NBA ready by his 3rd year at Wake Forest and he only kept getting better from there. He's a once in a life time type of star so of course he was going to be able to match up well with NBA bigs right away.
He smacked Shaq in 99 for playing against 8th seed Knicks, smacked Shaq again (Plus Kobe) for playing against barely mediocre Nets, killed Amare&Nash's Suns with 26-13 4blk for playing against subpart Cavs. You've mentioned about missing layup but you forgot Duncan played 30-17 in game 6 and 24-12-4 stl in game 7 although HE WAS 37 YEARS OLD
@@jimihendrix1263 And to me, Duncan beating the Shaq/Kobe combo is just as good as if Malone beat the Pippen/Jordan combo. Yeah, the latter was 6-0 in the Finals, but Duncan postponed a dynasty to be in 99, and then stopped one that already was in 03.
@AnEn Yeah, Duncan was sometimes carried by clutch role players on the big stage, like Steve Kerr, Mario Elie, Big/Cheap Shot Bob, Bruce Bowen, Kawhi Leonard & the likes, but he was definitely the anchor that kept putting his teams in positions to succeed.
They lost Horace Grant that year, which made them a weaker rebounding team. Jordan coming back saved their season but their PF weakness showed in the playoffs that year.
Bob Pettit's the GOAT PF, followed by Malone. Tim Duncan's a center, think about it: What's the one thing people always say that gives him the edge over Malone and Garnett? Deep low post play on both ends. THAT'S A CENTER'S GAME. If Duncan's a PF, so is Olajuwon
Olajuwon is a center who plays like a PF, and Duncan used to be a PF who played like a center. Now Duncan plays exactly like a center.
I don't think that lil' turnaround of Akeem's is enough to say he plays like a 4. Duncan didn't do that turnaround, but he was just as effective with his jumpshot
Duncan is a PF.. David Robinson was the starting Center from his rookie year in 1997 until he retired in 2003. Then from 2004-2006, Rasho Nesterovic started at Center for the Spurs. Then fro 2007-2010, Fabricio Oberto started at Center for the Spurs. Both of those guys are nothing close to PF's. The only time Duncan has played Center was 2010-2012, when the Spurs didn't really have a legit starting Center on the roster. Finally, Splitter was ready to start in 2012 after a couple years of development, and he's been starting at Center ever since.
Duncan is a PF who is capable of playing C. Similar to Chris Bosh for Miami the past 3 seasons. Bosh is a PF, but he started at C a ton for Miami when Lebron was there. Just because he's capable of playing the position, doesn't mean he's a Center. Duncan is a true PF.
Difference w/ Bosh though, was/is that his game would never be mistaken for a 5-- he plays out on the perimeter like true 4s do. The boxscore position labels and those bigs u name don't fool me, we all know who was controlling the deep post at both ends.
PeediSigel "True 4's" don't play out on the perimeter dude haha. Only in the past 10-15 years have PF's become more perimeter-oriented. Before that, a "true 4" was a post player. But that's fine, doesn't bother me. But Duncan's going into the Hall of Fame as a PF, so yea.
Tim Duncan will ALWAYS be the GOAT at PF. No disrespect to the mailman though he is also legendary.
How will he always be you don't know that?
+Patrick Mosley Talent wise I would always go for the mailman, he is a freak of nature. Duncan has the gift to give balance to the team like bill russell. That is why Malone has no rings and Duncan has.
Duncan never had to face Jordan in the Finals. When he got into the league, the league has softened
templar777able wrong. Malone has no rings because he played with bad talent other then Stockton and an aging Horny on two bad legs, also Duncan didn’t have to go through MJ
Also when he lost in the 1st round on the Lakers the team had a worse roster than the Bulls in '95 did. Phil Jackson doesn't necessarily know how to build a team from the ground up but he knows how to control egos. Before he showed up the Lakers were an immature team that had a 1-12 record in series where they were eliminated.
They had a losing record in series they were eliminated in? Wow what a shocker!😂
This kids really should try to know how basketball was in 80 and 90 and how Malone and Barkley and other legendary power forwards (not center look a like) built their careers (2 Hall of Fame spots EACH) in a era dominated by gods like Magic, Bird and Jordan. Those kids are probably the same who think Kobe is the best ever. LOL.
Malone was the MVP in '99 yet got shut down against Portland, while Duncan torched them in the WCF 4-0. Don't just blame the Bulls, the Jazz were the favorites against the Blazers and '99 and Malone couldn't get the job done. In the elimination game the MVP scored only 8 points lol.
Duncan had a game against Portland in the 1999 playoffs where he had 5 points. The Spurs still won, which indicates that the Blazers could hold Duncan down and the Spurs would still beat them.
Further, Duncan averaged 16.8 points and 9.8 rebounds against the Spurs in the 1999 playoffs. Not exactly historic or superstar numbers, despite your rhetoric.
Malone? Averaged 20.2 points and 11.5 rebounds against the Blazers in the 1999 playoffs.
@@anen9332Malone had a Total Game score of 15.6 vs Blazers which is just about above average play Duncan’s Game Score was 14.5 also above average play. Game Score of 20 is a solid game, Blazers had great Interior Defenders in Rasheed Wallace, Sabonis and Jermaine O Neal
Old guy antoine car played so well. 😮
This Series was much closer than it looks at 4-1, Spurs could of won Game 1 and 2 if not for some bad calls and bad bounces. Would of been interesting to see the Jazz down 3-0
The problem is that these kids like yourself keep watching youtube videos instead of real basketball of 80 and 90s. Jordan played against 18 of the 50 greatest players of all time (like Malone). MJ was not just shooting guard. He was way more than that. Duncan and the others were doing NOTHING at that time. People like to increase the value of the 2000s in which we had no viewers, no hall of famers (just a few) and scorers. Duncan did it great but Malone did for 19 years with excellence.
Any body remember jaren Jackson outplaying Kobe in 99?😂
it's funny people say there are more fouls called today than way back when but if you watch vids of games from the late 90's it seems like they call the same kinds of fouls they call now.
It’s just a fact .... n it’s what is called a foul.. it’s more physical off the ball in the post n playoffs.. u don’t get this r u blind?
I was pulling for the Spurs all the way! I hated the Jazz and wanted them gone. I guess Jordan and company had to do the job in the Finals.
Why do you hate the Jazz are you a bandwagon bulls Jordan fan??
Stockton Eakes Die-Hard Bulls fan.
leibniz
I liked Sloan, but he even admitted that Malone and Stockton were dirty players.
CSX Productions LOL. Sloan was one of the dirtiest SOBs to ever play.
What a load of garbage on your part.
Btw, I just watched game 6 of the 1997 Finals. The Bulls eked that win out off of multiple Pippen goaltends -- uncalled -- and Jordan kicking Stockton's leg out from under him so he couldn't rotate back to Kerr on the go-ahead shot.
Really nice dirt there.
Morten Potzdidler
Pippen did not commit a goal-tend on that missed lay-up; Anderson just blew it!
hear that ? it was duncans first playoff series .the jazz should of one 😎
Have won
@AnEn even more then LeBron James coming out of high school backing up his talk or magic Johnson and 79 his first year in the NBA taking his team to the finals and winning ? 🤔
@AnEn wait your just being ? 42 points 15 rebounds in game six of the NBA finals don't show your gonna be showtime in the NBA as a rookie 🤔 now if we was talking about that young kid in Dallas that gets all those triple doubles in regular games no rings yeah I can see your agreement
@AnEn no not really cuz magic had a better career and head to head won more . ..only unintelligent people resort to name-calling don't try to sound smart using the pathetic English dictionary wrong culture try to make yourself look smart
@AnEn you have a little girls complex the minute someone doesn't agree with you unintelligent non making sense ass you resort to what you know name-calling behind the laptop 😬 you know nothing you can't prove to nobody that you're miss smarty pants just name calling prove to the world your iq is high 🤔 waiting
Duncan came in 00's when there was NO huge talents in PF like Malone, Barkley, McHale and goods like Johnson, Kemp, Oakley. Duncan played against nobody. If rings meant talent Steve Kerr would be a genious while Isiah, Hardaway, Stockton and Payton would be "ordinary".
Kevin Garnett, Pau Gasol, Chris Bosh & Chris Webber weren't huge talents? I love 80s & 90s brand of basketball the most too, but Duncan meant every bit to the Spurs what Bird meant to the Celtics.
The Jazz could still beat the spurs and be champion in the season after, all they had to do was to keep the same team, but they let Antoine Carr and Chris Morris leave.
@AnEn Yeah, Chris Webber should've been assigned more than just a Flagrant Penalty I on that nasty screen; it should've been a II.
Duncan used to be able to jump on his jump shots?!? Who knew?!?
Not if Prime Duncan and Prime Robinson had played side by side.
Duncan and Robinson looked horrible in that game, yet it was still down to the wire
Well Duncan guarded Shaq plenty, and since no PF on the Lakers could guard Duncan, Phil Jackson was forced to put Shaq on him & they still couldn't stop him. No good bigs when Duncan emerged? That's just plain wrong: Chris Webber, Rasheed Wallace, Dirk Nowitzki, Kevin Garnett, Alonzo Mourning, Brian Grant, Antonio Davis & Anthony Mason made all-star, Antonio McDyess was an athletic specimen, Kemp was with Cavs/Blazers, Bo Outlaw was a great defender, Marcus Camby, Dale Davis, Robert Horry, etc.
Duncan had a huge problem with being able to get buckets at the end of big playoff games. He just could never score consistently like guys like Shaq , jordan, lebron, Kobe, bird, Olajuwon, magic, Kareem . He’s a great great player but he’s a step below those guys. He needed Parker and ginobli to be the offense in big games down the stretch. U just could not go to Duncan at the end of games to get buckets.. I watched every game he played in the playoffs almost n that was a glaring problem with him.. but he’s definitely a all time great player
LOL Malone constantly lost in the 1st round in his prime even when he had HCA. Duncan didn't lose in the 1st round until 2009.
He lost in 2000 to the Suns
He was injured that year, so it doesn't count
Duncan also was drafted onto a team that, when healthy, had been winning between 55-60 games in the mid-90s.
Furthermore, when Duncan did lose in the first round, it was historic: one of only three western 1st seeds in the entire history of thr league to lose the opening round series.
This happened in 2011.
Duncan also played absolutely horribly in that series -- far worse than numbers you'll find from Malone in any of his first round series (particularly through his prime -- to the extent that Duncan was basically humiliated by a frontline of Gasol and Randolph.
The Spurs certainly had better roster depth than, say, the Jazz of the late 80s or early 90s in their 2009-2011 incarnations. That's also a rather key detail.
I mean Duncan always had loaded teams idk how u can even compare the two
When jazz got rid of Morris in 1999 they fucked up. When they got hornyseck, new stadium, esley, sanden Anderson, ostertag, Morris that was there last chance and only chance from 1997-1999. Had they kept Morris in 1999 they would have had better chance. Technically the only season that the Utah jazz could actually win the NBA finals was the 99 season and they blew it. They should have kept morris
Seeing a young Greg Popovich is so weird to me.
Take off the blind glasses, Duncan went up against plenty 1st/2nd Team All NBA PF's when he won his championships, what about Shaq? No one was saying Portland was better until after the series was over. Portland had zero superstars on that team.
Also was Jordan the problem in teams losing to the Bulls, or was it really Phil Jackson? PJ actually went to the Finals more times w/ the Lakers than he did w/ the Bulls.
Went more times won more with bulls.. nice cherry pick..9seasons as bulls head coach 6 rings..10 seasons lakers 5 rings
@@TheSands83 9 season..1990 he losses to detroit ..1994 losses to knicks, 1995 he losses to orlando...
He also lost more in the finals with the lakers.. and u must be a Lebron fan .. because u think getting to the finals is an accomplishment
Mate Gradac I meant to say 7 full seasons with Jordan n won rings .. my bad🤣
1:10 the game is not won on statistics the game is won on DEFENSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh really? do tell.....Duncan has rings but Malone is a more powerful all-around player. Duncan never had to go up against a player named Michael Jordan during his prime. Just go look at all the records Malone holds....
go jazz
Y todavía hay quien dice que Lebron es mejor que Jordan, cuando vemos que Jordan derrotó dos veces al jazz ese jazz que eliminó a los lakers de kobi y Shaq a los spurs de Duncan Robinson , era un equipo durísimo el jazz con solo dos hombres Stockton y malón los demás eran guerreros y aún así vencieron a esos equipos de hay el mérito de Jordan y Chicago no le ganaron a cualquier equipo
Just saw a comment that read, "Jazz will always own the Spurs."
Lol that's why the Spurs lead the all-time series 96-74 and the playoff record is an even 12-12, right? Lol idiot. Oh and SA has completely owned them the past decade.
The 4 titles they forgot about too.
Who hasn't owned the, the past decade they suck dick
1998 is the only time a Duncan led team faced Stockton and Malone in the playoffs and they lost. Then there was the lockout season in 1999 which screwed a lot of things up for multiple teams and that Jazz core kept getting older and older from there yet remained in the playoffs every year.
So yea..shut up about a All time record that have very little to do with these specific rosters match up.
In what ways was Malone better than Timmy, scoring? That's it. To me it's not that much of an advantage because Duncan can score in more ways than Malone, especially regarding post moves. Malone was a volume shooter who ran the floor better than anyone his size and proved that hard work can overcome lack of superstar talent/athleticism. Didn't pass, rebound, or block shots nearly at Ducan's level.
David Stelter I think Duncan's style was more effective for his era, the funny thing is, this is a rookie Tim Duncan and he won the finals the following year.
Back when teams played plays. The NBA today is just run and shoot threes with zero follow up. I honestly cannot even watch it anymore.
The jazz team that could best and did beat anyone and everyone except 23
What guys like nick wright fail to realize it’s not how many all stars u have that makes you a good team., it’s how u play together as a team.. stats r an after thought... after the game.. guys now r tracking it while they play n it’s pathetic
And they lost antwon carr in 99. Had they had antwon Carr and Morris in 1999 they would have probably won it.
Dont post this if the spurs lost..
Good D by David Robinson clearly an offensive foul from karl malone if any call at all spurs could have iced that game if it were not for that BS foul call up by three jazz would have had to make some crazy shit happen to win that game without help from the refs
Jay Buc That's NBA officiating for you .. but it seems to me that the new commisioner is at least trying to effect some change in the league.
+Jay Buc That was in the air I don't think so.
Typical Spurs fan, classless
Ethan Lugo This guys channel is a utah Jazz video channel. if you don't like it, don't watch it. simple as that.
Of course Jazz lost to Blazers whose team was way better than anyother on the league. The champion would be between Spurs and Blazers who lost silly to a team who had Sean Elliot on a lucky factor who was barely forgotten the whole fu¨¨&& era. He was a shooter and nothing else. Jazz team was old and still Malone was schooling everyone else god only knows how. Duncan was in the right era in right time. In 90s he wouldnt beat anyone. Not Malone, Barkley, Hakeen, Drexler Isiah, Jordan. PERIOD.
Jazz lost to Portland in 99. 97 and 98 they went to the Finals.
Jazz went to finals this year.. they played lakers in next round n swept them
Tim Duncan is the best PF of all time. PERIOD
That's debatable. Karl Malone was great, He just wasn't great in the Finals. Stockton was always my guy on the Jazz though.
Tim Duncan is not the greatest PF ever
And its irritating how all sports commentator s insist that he is- timmy was a stud no doubt- Malone 12,000 more career points- that's not even arguable.
@@mattathiasmacabees6416 yeah thanks to John Stockton who also lead the NBA in all time assist leader...
@@alexiscando5709 If Stockton is the reason why Malone scored all those points, then Malone is also the reason why Stock had piled up on those assists.
Karl malone put the p in powerful forward
Man Stockton made this team real good, I mean Karl Malone was good, but Stockton spoon fed him on plays
Did you even watch any of this...Stockton made two passes to Malone...One for a 20 foot jumper..and one on a pick and roll where Malone drove to the basket in traffic against Robinson for a score and a foul. Nothing about it was spoon-fed. All of it was created by Malone. Those were routine passes that Malone turned them into assists. I think Malone made Stockton look better a lot more than vice versa.
@fatos4n3mukujtuarberisha97 you've obviously never seen Stockton play. That boy gave Malone easy looks time and time again throughout their careers. If you can't see that fact your just oblivious and ignorant from the game
to be COMPLETELY honest i really really HATE david robinson and i SOMEWHAT like the spurs and jazz as a whole including karl malone and someone who ranked the 75 best players ever placed karl malone ahead of david robinson but also said screw karl malone david robinson is the real rodney dangerfield of the nba but is was and/or will that be true AT ALL please let me know
Brian Grant? Antonio Davis? Thats why 2000s lots of craps hit All Stars dude. LOL
Dale Davis>Antonio Davis
4 rings - 0 rings you mad bro? duncan>malone @saturndual32
MegaDom1993 Those are team accomplishments and therefore do not determine how good these players.
Also, Duncan won five rings, not four.
Duncan faced weaker competition in the Finals
if malone played in today league lebron would have no rings.
OG Pesos 93 Lol, they don't even play the same position and Malone plays in the West. Malone would have to go the finals first and I doubt they'd make it that far.
Sonofaballer96 Lebron has played plenty of PF and he'd likely be put on Malone in a match up against those Jazz teams.
OG Pesos 93 Karl would definitely toughen this Leauge up. the Leauge now is all offense, can't touch anyone, that's why Golden State wins every year. the rules fit there style of play. that's why you see super teams now because the Warriors are trying to own the Leauge with Cleveland. kind of like Celtics/ Lakers in the 80's
To everyone who insists Duncan is way better than Malone I give you this series and every other one old man Malone ever had vs Tim.
Karl Malone is better than Tim Duncan
jazz will always own the spurs
5 rings, 0 rings
12-12 playoff record (8-1 in 21st century)
107-83 regular season record
lol you mormons are extremely delusional
who say white boys can;t play Jazz had 4 in the game ,most of this game !!
Most of them are just too-athletically challenged to play an explosive style, although there are exceptions, like Tom Chambers.
@@arsonhakobyan hey TC is da man sun, also thunder Dan Rex and we even won the slam dunk in 96 with BB !! We are catching up with dem as far as athletic ability

@@a-ddaigrepont3375 I actually watched this slam dunk contest live. That was good. In all fairness, I felt that Michael Finley was robbed, similar to how Dominique Wilkins was robbed in the 88 contest, cause it was in Chicago. I think that a lot judges were amazed to see a white man be able to take off from the free throw line to dunk, like Doctor J, Michael Jordan & Scottie Pippen, similar to how so many were amazed in the 86 dunk contest to see a 5'6 guy in Spud Webb being able to dunk w/ actually some style, so Nique got robbed then too. Heck, Clyde The Glide Drexler who was a fabulous in-game dunker, could not perform the dunk from the free throw line in the dunk contest when he tried it. I still feel that both Nique & Finley's windmills from the baseline had more impressive creativity, w/ still decent distance, more impressive overall acrobatics & spins, plus nice power, so I would've rated those a hair higher than the free throw ones w/ a running start, as impressive as that feat is in of itself to be able to do. Of the successful dunks from the free throw line, I like Jordan's the best, cause he had the nicest hang-time of the 3 that have done it, and most grace. Maybe another's done it, but those are the only 3 that I remember. Overall though, Vince Carter to me is the greatest dunker that's ever lived, dunk contest & in-game combined. If it's just in-game, I'd go w/ Shawn Kemp. If we're only talking about white in-game dunkers though, I'd go w/ Tom Chambers.
@@arsonhakobyan yea weird thing is bro BB hardly ever dunked in a game but TC.... wheeee axe Mark Jackson lol
