Glenn Rice was such an Awesome perimeter shooter, great to see he won a ring comin’ off the bench with the Lakers, along with Mitch Richmond, another awesome shooter respectfully, those 2 dudes were consummate professional’s 💯
I dont know if i'm broken as a person, but I SWEAR when i watch older games from the 90s like this....they looks so much more organized and professional than todays game. Watching this its like everyone moves at this perfect professional speed, i cant describe it better than that. The modern game does not move like these classic games......it just doesn't have the same premium feel that it did back then
Even if they bring back the nba on nbc…there will never be an era like the 90s…it was just a magical time for nbc to cover & it was great time for all of us as youths. Great players & games! Will never be recreated in this era of nba bball!✊🏾🫡🤙🏾
I remember emulating his form as a teen growing up, he was one of my fave. players ever. Beautiful shot and perfect form, Rice was a beast especially when he was hot
Awesome upload! Glen Rice, among other players, like LJ and so on…. Took on 2nd/3rd player roles just to win championships. Didn’t let their pride get into the way! Rice was a beast!
I rem this game like yesterday. I rem being pissed that Glen Rice passed MJ's top scoring mark of 55 pts that season. When Glen Rice was on he was fun to watch
@@carlosvazquez5196 Pip had nothing to do with it. In fact Pip got roasted the games prior against Glen Rice and rest of the games. Bulls were below .500 Then all of a sudden MJ returns and owns it. Pips entire career is fully credited to MJ. without MJ pip wins nothing. But MJ was winning regardless with or without Pippen after 1990. Dominique Wilkins almost became a teammate. This is from his own mouth in person with me in Hawaii together. Pip avg 10 ppg his first 2 seasons didn't even start. Jordan owned it from day 1. Playing with coke heads. Meanwhile everyone else had hof players ad teammates. What about that time Grant Hill cooked Pippen in 1998? Jordan comes in and slows him down literally and wins the game. What about Jordan locking up VC in his prime to zero points way past his prime. Pip never did that. How many defensive players of the year Pip has again?
@@hitek9too255 Super Fun Fact: troll lies, Pippen 7.9 ppg, 10 ppg his first 2 seasons. NO impact didn't start, mostly during that same stretch. Charles Oakley was the second-best player then playing with crack-coke heads. (Cocaine Circus). Mj avg over 35-40 ppg. 1991 and 1998 no all-star. Mj dragged him and won it all. We were around then. You weren't.
8 year old me was at this game with my Dad(RIP). One of the few times in the pre-Pat Riley we got a national televised game, let alone the Sunday NBA on NBC game
Glad to see a Glen Rice performance for his career-high 56! I only used to know this feat in NBA trading cards, and apparently it's way lot better witnessing it even just in condensed presentation. This game, or his 1994-95 performance overall, raised his stock into a key trading piece for Alonzo Mourning. Nice to see Khalid Reeves making clutch shots as well.
I remember this game. Being a 16 years old Heat fan from Greece in 1995 - can you guess how? - expecting an article and photo from the game in the newspaper next day. Unbelievable to watch footage after all these years. Thank you very much MDBball. You're a treasure of a TH-cam channel.

@@kristianolliviere9045 But the Hornets traded him to the Lakers when he was in his prime. Otherwise he could have been a hall of famer. He basically became a journeyman after he left Charlotte
I was at this game 1st NBA I ever attended, big Magic fan back then all I remember was the Heat PA announcer kept saying Glen Rice 3Threeeeeeee the whole game lol
@@hitek9too255. No. He was a deadly shooter with size and strength (6-8” 230). He had a quick release and could get his own shot. 85% FT shooter also. Played in a tough defensive era not like today’s pick up street ball NBA. Where nobody plays defense and teams routinely score 140 pts a game.
anyone notice how audible the cheerleaders are? i never heard that in any nba game before...in fact most nba cheerleaders don't really cheer during games
90s NBA on NBC and MJ made me fall in love with basketball…it’s almost depressing that I can’t even watch a full game these days because the NBA product is trash now 😑 Oh well, still have YT for the classics!
@@MDBBallThat is fair. What about these games. My final list: Spurs vs Clippers 12/25/92 Sonics Blazers 4/24/94 Sonics vs Nuggets 12/25/94 Rockets vs Knicks 2/19/95 Jazz vs Hornets 3/19/95 Hornets vs Pacers 4/9/95 Suns vs Blazers 4/9/95 Rockets vs Spurs 2/18/96 Suns vs Mavericks 3/3/96 Spurs vs Lakers 4/7/96 Suns vs Lakers 4/14/96 Lakers vs Sonics 1/26/97 Hornets vs Knicks 2/2/97 Sonics vs Lakers 2/16/97
I always hated the Orlando Magic when I was a kid in the 90s. But that’s because I was a born and raised Chicago Bulls fan. And when MJ came back they were our biggest rival for two years there. Especially with traitor Horace Grant deciding to leave us to go play for them. That being said……I always loved the Orlando Magic uniforms. In particular these black ones and those electric blue ones. They seriously should switch back to those as their regular uniforms.
He and Mitch were different types of players. Mitch could shoot but he could also play iso ball. Rice was more of a move without the ball pure scoring jump shooter.
I couldn't stand the Orlando Magic that year. I was happy that Miami beat them in this game. I was also happy that the Houston Rockets swept them in the finals.
I stopped watching consistently after the Lakers beat the Celtics in the 2010 NBA Finals after that I would watch it sometimes but not all the time now I barely watch it anymore in 2024
notice how much you heard horace grants name. this is why shaq brought him to LA to win a chip in 2001. the same thing he did for michael in chicago. giving you a 60% fg% double double on 11 shots. Thats why he is going on the "no bull tour" and he has a right. that man had 13.5 points a game and 7.8 rebounds on 68.9% shooting in the eastern conference finals when they finally beat detroit in 1991. no way they beat detroit that soundly if he doesn't play like that. even in this game shaq got a wide open dunk because they were doubling penny hardaway and watching grant right below the three point line lol
Billy ownes traded for seikaly. I couldn’t wait to see the warriors 4 - 0 start that year without Webber and see Tim hardaway spree and cwebb. Ahh the rest is history fucking nelly

I wish i was a kid again, but that's why we have TH-cam to watch these old basketball games of the 90s.
1990s were dang good .
The intro music alone is pure nostalgia.
Bro I felt that time travel trip it was epic
I know I love it so much. I hate how fox uses it now for college basketball. It does not have the same feel at all.
True along with the story lines before the game, nothing like the NBA on ABC
I watch more of these vids than I do current NBA games.
Yeah the current NBA is Boring 😴
Me 2
I'm a Laker fan and a former referee. I watch old Eastern Conference battles: Knicks, Pistons and Orlando.
@@chrisroberts933 I love those matchups.
NBA on NBC just had the best presentation, didn't they?
And that GODLY theme song!
WONDERFUL recap!!
They know most are "casuals", so rightly set the stage!!
FS1 college basketball uses the same theme music
Yeah it was unreal bro
Long before Wade, Zo, Hardaway, etc, Glen Rice was the Miami Heat's first star player.
The original Heat team of Rice, Smith, and Seikaly was underrated
@@yellowduck-2024That squad would’ve been just as competitive as the Zo and Hardaway teams imo
Glenn Rice was such an Awesome perimeter shooter, great to see he won a ring comin’ off the bench with the Lakers, along with Mitch Richmond, another awesome shooter respectfully, those 2 dudes were consummate professional’s 💯
@@stevenjamesgiurbinojr6893Glenn Rice was a starter and the 3rd option on that Lakers squad
@@stevenjamesgiurbinojr6893 It's Glen. And he was a starter with the Laker. Get your facts straight
Triple header sunday NBA on NBC was so epic!!

The modern game does not move like these classic games......it just doesn't have the same premium feel that it did back then
The music, the dramatic backstory, and the intensity that these players brought every game
The NBA on NBC was epic! These openings got you hype!! Plus, this was a regular season game!!!
I remember running home from school when they had those afternoon playoff games with the Bulls. 90s NBA was so special.
the Golden era of the NBA, glad I was able to live thru and experience this
Fun Fact: Shaquille O'Neal first game against the Miami Heat, played for the Miami Heat and kast game was against the Miami Heat
Even if they bring back the nba on nbc…there will never be an era like the 90s…it was just a magical time for nbc to cover & it was great time for all of us as youths. Great players & games! Will never be recreated in this era of nba bball!✊🏾🫡🤙🏾
Desperately miss The NBA on NBC. That song and intro. BRING IT BACKKKKK
NBC on NBC, wow, what a memory 😊😊
Thank you for these uploads! The closest I’m going to get to a Time Machine.

Rice had such a pretty looking jumper.
I remember emulating his form as a teen growing up, he was one of my fave. players ever. Beautiful shot and perfect form, Rice was a beast especially when he was hot
*Only for Rice and Shaq to win their first title outside of Florida together.*
Awesome upload! Glen Rice, among other players, like LJ and so on…. Took on 2nd/3rd player roles just to win championships. Didn’t let their pride get into the way! Rice was a beast!
👍
He did. He complained on the Lakers about wanting to be used more.
The nostalgia of this will never be duplicated 🔥🔥🔥
Yeah loved that whole NBA on NBC them esp with rivalries back then
The transition from CBS to NBC was epic!!
I rem this game like yesterday. I rem being pissed that Glen Rice passed MJ's top scoring mark of 55 pts that season. When Glen Rice was on he was fun to watch
Moving the 3 point line in was a cheat code for players like Rice. 😂
factz, and reggie miller@@PA-zt6xu
Fun Fact: the next game the Heat played was against a rusty MJ and Glen Rice was held to 12 points to MJ's 26.
Rice was overcooked
And let me guess it was because mj .. maybe Pipp had a lot to do with it

@@darrengordon-hill Absolutely correct 👌🤝
@@user-kv4mr8lt5f 🍻🏀
I remember watching this game on our high school senior trip in Orlando.
96-97 Was Rice's GOAT season, it was his second year of three in Charlotte. My man shot 47% from three while averaging 26.8 pts a game.
Yep. Think of it like this he was doing that with no moving picks or a green like to shoot 20 3s. Man think if he played today in his prime.😮
좋은 영상 감사합니다

I always used Glen Rice on NBA Live on the 3pt shooting contest. Good memories.
Nice !! Glen Rice is a good shooter , dude was torching everyone
I remember eating bbq and watching this game.
Imagine thinking while watching this game live that the Miami Heat would actually have more championshps than the Orlando Magic.
Glenn Rice was a pretty good ball player folks....whoa!!👏☝️
That dude RICE was HIM! my man was a smooth operator.
I miss these introductions sooo muchhh in the 90s compared to the trash introductions now
Such an irony that Shaq didn’t win a title with the Magic but won with the Heat lol lol
The narrating in the beginning of the game get you so pump up (triple header)#nbc
Glen Rice's final days in Miami.
which absolutely nobody would have thought at the time of this game.
He really reached his prime in Charlotte
Glen rice getting traded to Charlotte was a blessing in disguise for him because he became an all star
@@kristianolliviere9045 But the Hornets traded him to the Lakers when he was in his prime. Otherwise he could have been a hall of famer. He basically became a journeyman after he left Charlotte

Glen Rice, in this era, would be tough to stop.
Real basketball. K. Willis was also doing work.
41 had such a great game.
Pretty high scoring for the 90s
This score is normal in today's NBA
@@yellowduck-2024 that's why it's pretty high for a decade that avg under 100 pts in its entirety
@@G-TV_TheOneManArmy The Magic averaged 111 ppg in 1995, while the Heat averaged 101. Both were offense-oriented teams
@@yellowduck-2024 isn't it more higher than the average game in the 90s especially late 90s
I prefer low scoring games
90s greatest decade ever ❤
Nah why Kevin Willis was get’n buckets like that tho 🔥🔥🔥😂😂
Horace Grant is underated!
Yep
Crazy how the Lakers capitalized on a lot of these players later. Good job by Jerry West.
Five years later shaq shaw salley and rice were winning a ring together in LA
Back then when basketball was important to watch. Those players weren't horrible, they sure played like we wanted them to play.
If Rice played in this era. He would have a few 60 point games

@@michaelcavallacci2945 It was watered down, diluted 90's dudes filled with expansion teams.

It’s hilarious when you look at this and who would ever thought the Heat would be the team with 3 titles when Orlando had this team wow
This a regular Sunday showcase with a build up like a championship game lol

This era are quicker than todays era. This ‘95 Magic would destroy all todays teams in NBA
Maybe the starting 5. That magic bench is suspect. Lol

Rice was a much better three-point shooter
21:50 broke nick Anderson ankles damn
Hey, I wonder what would happen if they moved the 3 point line closer today? Would the players take more 3's? 😅
Players would shoot 40 3s a game and with the more moving screens I could see a team shoot 80 3s in one game😂
