3:20 lol what? 35 years old Jordan can still outjump 7'1 David Robinson? This was crazy! In fact he was owing Duncan and Robinson on the paint all night, which is unbelievable if you think that this is MJ least athletic Bulls version
@@theyhateuscuztheyaintus6057 So what? The fact that he got blocked offsets the fact that MJ beat Robinson and scored a lot in the paint? If you don't want to get blocked stay off the court.
Camp Kemp, Jordan also was the only player to win 5 championships with 5 of the lowest offensive supporting casts leading into any finals in NBA history. Meaning MJ had less help offensively winning his rings then anyother great to play in the NBA!
I would say isaiah thomas was the 1st to win without a dominant big man, but lambier was a solid center not dominant though. Mj never had a dominant or solid bigman, they all were ok, bill cartwright was a great player before his injuries but he was at the tail end of his career when he arrived to the bulls.
This season which is Tim Duncans first season i believe is the reason Duncan said he wasn't impressed with MJ and never has been. They played twice in believe 97/98 and the Bulls won both games. That's ashamed considering MJ spoke highly of Duncan on multiple occasions. But I guess when your as gifted as Duncan was coming into the NBA and you play against Jordan and the Bulls and loose against a 35 year old MJ twice it would probably either humble you or cause you to be a hater! These younger players come into the NBA and some with no respect for the players before them. Lebron James came into the NBA idolizing Jordan and once Lebron became a veteran and realized he could never catch MJ and his accomplishments he started hating on Jordan saying he himself was the goat even though he is 3-6 in the finals, has only 1 scoring title, never won defensive player of the year and had to jump team to team seeking other high caliber all stars to win his championships. Respect the Goat Michael Jordan! Kobe, Shaq, Hakeem, Magic, Bird all Respected Jordans game.
Jordan took it out on timmy, so timmy took it out on everyone else. Giannis 6-0 Shaq 33-29 KG 33-19 Lebron 21-15 Allen Iverson 19-10 KD 22-22 Steph 16-5 Kobe 43-39 Not to mention having a winning record against every team in the league for his entire career. Tim Duncan can diss whoever the hell he wants, that includes the GOAT.
He’s so iconic! It’s crazy! It’s like if you’re a sports fan Jordan is you guy even if your team is playing him! You root for your team but you also root for Jordan! It’s crazy how that is
I was at this game. Awesome experience! MJ and the Bulls put on a show at the Alamodome. Also, there were ALOT of Bulls fans there. As you can see in the video, whole place exploded in camera flashes everytime Jordan shot his free throws or even touched the ball. It was incredible. btw, it got real loud when Jordan blocked Duncan's shot. I'll never forget that part. Only thing that sucked was Jordan didn't have a dunk in the game.
I'm glad I came of age in the mid/late 90s, when the super high-flying had waned and Michael just absolutely dominated with pure skill-- a true basketball player's basketball player at this point in his career. not that he wasn't before
At some point in this game Jordan is blocked by Duncan, then in classic Jordan fashion, he blocks Duncan the very next play. This would have been an interesting NBA finals had the Bulls stayed together in 1999. Of course Steve Kerr was on that 99 Spurs championship team.
For the record the Bulls would have SMAAAASHED (like the hulk in avengers) the spurs they gave them too much match up problems and even the spurs fans we're on the Bulls band-wagon.....Haaaaa-Haaaa!
To be honest this is kind of a surreal kind of a feel watching this two ball clubs square off because you got the changing of the guard and eras between this match and of course you can't help but to think the could off, would off and should off; and after watching this video and it's outcome it almost brings an feeling of closure that the bulls would of pulled off a historical forth peat in 1999.
Just thought I should mention David Robinson had 35 points, 8 rebounds, 3 steals, 3 blocks, 3 assists...T.D didn't have such a great game and the rest of the spurs didn't do so well either. But Robinson did everything he could, and actually outscored, out rebounded Jordan got a few more steals and blocks as well... But just thought "owning" went a little far, when someone else actually had a better game but just lost.
The Chicago Bulls literally would have got a 7th NBA championship!!! Without seeing this game I would have given any game to the spurs....because the bulls have no big man!
What it is is folks keep brainwashing us that Jordan wasn’t strong! Ron artest Said he’s just as strong as Lebron and many others say the same thing! As he got older he was bigger and he was just as quick but couldn’t keep the highflying rim attack going being that he was older but he was still the best defender and scorer and player in the game. Jordan dunked on every big man in his time and his strength made him extra special because it’s unheard of to be champions without a legit big man. Jordan showed it was possible 6 times
I don't care what anyone says; Lebron could not do today--or ever--what Jordan is doing in this video, at this point in his career. Lebron can do a lot, and he is one of the greatest, but what sets Jordan apart is that he could finish better at the rim, was a better shooter, and had more innate competitive drive. He had better body control and has bigger hands. Seriously, can you imagine Lebron doing everything Jordan is doing here, at the same level?
lebron is a better 3pt shooter, passer, and rebounder. the spurs perimeter players in 98 weren't that great. not a fan of either lebron or jordan but lebron was scoring 30+ on kawhi's spurs.
Not pictured here, immediately following that block Duncan runs the length of the court to block Jordan's shot. It's an awesome back and forth highlight.
It was great. We were lucky to get tickets because the game sold out the Alamodome months before. Over 37,000 fans and was the only regular season game to ever sell out the Alamodome. 14,000 went to the Spurs/Kings game two days before in the dome. Also got to see MJ play in person again with the Wizards in 2002. Fans booed the other Wizards players but cheered MJ during intros and when he scored. Been to quite a few Spurs games but never saw any player get the type of reaction MJ got.
Tim Duncan whenever he went against Dennis Rodman 1. never scored 20 2. never outrebounded Rodman 3. always had more turnovers than Rodman 4. always had less assists than Rodman 5. shot lower FG% against Rodman than he did that year in the regular season.
You're talking about a veteran Dennis Rodman going against a rookie Tim Duncan. I will take Tim Duncan at his prime or even now over Rodman at his prime. Duncan is one of the the greatest to ever play.
Anthony Mason Kind of unfair to duncan...he was just getting his feet wet... A more experienced Duncan could put up numbers against defensive power houses like Ben Wallace so im fairly confident later on in his career he would have had similar success against Rodman. Not taking anything away from Rodman though, one of the toughest defenders.
That's why I laugh when clowns talk all this nonsense about today's GSW team competing against Bulls. Who would guard MJ? Klay Thompson? LOL. Curry? Or maybe Iguodala who was KB's doormat for the longest?
meg - me 2. In old rules, Bulls are just too big and too skilled. In today's rules, it's trickier but I still have to go Chicago because of your reasons - who can stop MJ let alone Pip and KD cancel each other out. Harp becomes a deadly player in today's game.
This fascination with the genitalia of other men, on the part of you millennials, is both telling and creepy. It's HIGHLY suspect (if you even get what I mean). You guys' responses ALWAYS seem to center around men engaging in the act of either: A) ridin' dicks/nuts or B) suckin' dick/nuts All of this in a damn sports discussion...SMH I mean really?!! Can you idiots be any more transparent? What is it with you buster ass millennials, that you need to CONSTANTLY tailor your responses with these kinda' homosexual narratives? They seem to LITERALLY dominate your every thought. And to any intelligent person, that says A LOT about you guys. Primarily that you're just a buncha' undercover fags LOL!! Because real men don't constantly (and consistently) say sh*t like that, when engaging in sports talk with other men. The ONLY men who CONSTANTLY say sh*t like this, are you skinny jeans, pastel color wearin' ass fuck boys, who only watch men's sports, because you have that gay sh*t on your minds to begin with. raiders10003 = typical ignorant, millennial fag boy
Wonder if the present day heat or spurs could have taken the jordan bulls down in the finals (or conf finals for miami). Probably not but Id love to watch and could see either team pushing to a game 7.
Would have been interesting to see Tim, Manu, and Tony against the Bulls big 3…im a huge Spurs fan. But they wouldn’t have won a ring in ‘99 had Jordan decided to play another year.
@@mythtek1 Duncan's been stopped easily from 2000-2002, after being a defending champion in 99. And when he won in 99, the Knicks were in the finals without their leader Patrick Ewing. He's not beating the Bulls in the finals.
@@x-man9473 Duncan busted his knee in 2000 took him a year to recover won back to back MVP’s in 2002-2003. Watch the Spurs vs Bulls in 98 both teams were great Bulls won in OT Jordan hit a 3 at the last second
He'll yeah it is a joke. These guys just run around shooting 3s. No fight in these guys in today's game. That's why I don't watch the games much anymore. I just watch the old highlights.
You are DAMN right. Can't enjoy the game now at all. Kobe is out with his injury, and all we got left is Lebron and Wade (wait a minute....WHO?!) What a shame!
The NBA gave Jordan a break by having the lock out and just having a 50 game season but he said no. But this would have happened had the bulls met the Spurs in finals.
@Iagosdre, Duncan was a ROOKIE here, in case you didn't know. You think Duncan isn't the greatest PF ever because of ONE bad game in his rookie year, against the eventual NBA champs??? Ignorance is bliss.
Malone and Barkley were Power Forwards. Tim is a Center who played power forward for only about the 1st 5 or 6 years of his 17 year career who for some reason is considered a power forward because of it. Look on basketball-reference.com and see Duncan hasnt played PF since before 2004. he's been playing center primarily since Robinson Retired..
massdagod you seem to know alot about nba history ,so i wanna know when did the easttern confrence become considered week,and has the east ever been considered better of the 2 confrences
Then he said he wasn’t impressed with anyone.....weird statement but people say the silly things! Duncan always been weird to me anyways. Sad thing is Jordan said Duncan is probably the most fundamentally sound player in the game! That’s when people was calling Duncan boring but Jordan knew his potential and stated it when they asked him who the best was in the game.
To be honest with you Michael was old and he was killing this guys imagine Michael in his 24-25 years old of age it would have been a massacre Michael Jordan was like unstoppable in every way it's insane how he played toyed with Tim Duncan one year before he became the MVP like Jordan was 35 years old was just enough to destroy the whole f****** League cuz they won the championship that year
So what? That was his 13 season in the league. And being 35 years old is still a legit a 35 year old body. How was he able to come back after a almost 2 years of not playing NBA basketball and be better than everyone? Better than Hakeem Olajuwon, Penny Hardaway, grant hill, shaq, david robinson,etc??? There's no way to cut it short. 35 is still 35.
David Robinson Scored 35 in this game and we lost by 10 idk about owning but I see the uploader is most likely a Spurs hater. It's all good Karl Malone got beat in the Finals against Jordan and never even won anything with the Lakers so go hate while Tim Duncan sits on 5 rings and possibly a 6th If we get to the Finals in 2015 I say if because I'm not a ignorant cocky fan like most get when thier team wins a title I'm very Grateful we won this year. So we'll see.
Spurs had Robinson Elliot Duncan Johnson, Lakers had shaq Eddie Jones Kobe Bryant rick fox and nick van axle. Sonics had Payton Kemp shremph and Perkins. The rockets had olajuwon drexler and Barkley. The jazz had Stockton Malone hornacek and Sloan as coach. Think about that next time
It's too bad that Duncan's Spurs never met Jordan's Bulls in the Finals. It would have been an EPIC battle. If it was played in 2003, the Spurs would have beaten MJ, Scottie, and Rodman in 7 games. Obviously, if it was 98 the Bulls would have won it in 6. (The Bulls never swept the finals, and only went 5 games once, against the Lakers in 91). What might have been!!
30/5/3/2/1 on 12/22 shooting is a great stat-line, but to say he "owned" them is taking it a little far. Jordan is the greatest of all-time. But the title sounds like it's trying to disrespect the Spurs more than it's trying to praise Jordan. Little annoying.
SO Jordan owned the spurs, but looking at the basketball reference link, Admiral scored 35 with 8 rebounds(timmy lead with 12) and 3 steals and 3 blocks. I understand bulls won by 10 points, but video and comment section trying to make it seem Jordan scored 30 while shutting down the twin towers lmao.
Tim Duncan didn't wanna play in NBA he used basketball to get scholarship for college! Tha man wanted to be a pharmacist and the boss said no you playing in NBA whether you like it or not cuz il ruin you. That's messed up making somebody win 5 championships , make all that money, and get all that attention when the guy, I know he's 70 foot but he just wanted to be a pharmacist man!
Na this was Tim Duncan's 5th season in the NBA cuz he wanted to hide in college so he wouldn't have to get a real job in the NBA! Duncan was suppose to be in NBA his sophomore year but was like nah I ain't working. Finally, after 4 years they told Tim you have to go!!!!!! You either can be homeless on the street or finally get a real job in NBA and Tim was like I guess il play in the NBA! Anybody buy that time wanted a college degree is naive! He was scared of nba
Its doesnt matter that was an old mj not even his prime anymore...duncan and robinson had fresher legs and those player lead the spurs in 1999 championship after this season
Oh shut up. The NBA is still enjoyable to watch. You guys act like NBA in the 90's is a god to you... the past is the past so enjoy what we have right now.
3:20 lol what? 35 years old Jordan can still outjump 7'1 David Robinson? This was crazy! In fact he was owing Duncan and Robinson on the paint all night, which is unbelievable if you think that this is MJ least athletic Bulls version
Jordan was 35 but could still jump really high because he stayed in the gym on a regular basis.
robinson outscored him
MJ obv the better athlete but Robinson was already dealing with chronic injuries at that time in his career
You must of not seen Robinson's shot block highlights. He's blocked Jordan on more than one occasion.

Scottie Pippen did.

To be honest with you Michael was old and he was killing this guys imagine Michael in his 24-25 years old of age it would have been a massacre Michael Jordan was like unstoppable in every way it's insane how he played toyed with Tim Duncan one year before he became the MVP like Jordan was 35 years old was just enough to destroy the whole f****** League cuz they won the championship that year
@@poligonzo5300 michael won mvp when hes 24 years old
98 champs vs the 99 champs.
Jordan out jump David Robinson, Bulls could have 4 peated had they stayed together.... That was spurs 1999 championship lineup
Finals preview.. Another ring another mvp would be.. Even with the twin towers.. I would felt really bad for del negro and jackson
3:52 What more can I say
had the "Rocky" theme song clip playing while he shot the pull-up fadaway
Tim Duncan's rookie year and Michael Jordan's final year with the Bulls
LOL at Jordan blocking tim duncan's shot
So what? That was his 13 season in the league. And being 35 years old is still a legit a 35 year old body. How was he able to come back after a almost 2 years of not playing NBA basketball and be better than everyone? Better than Hakeem Olajuwon, Penny Hardaway, grant hill, shaq, david robinson,etc??? There's no way to cut it short. 35 is still 35.
David Robinson Scored 35 in this game and we lost by 10 idk about owning but I see the uploader is most likely a Spurs hater. It's all good Karl Malone got beat in the Finals against Jordan and never even won anything with the Lakers so go hate while Tim Duncan sits on 5 rings and possibly a 6th If we get to the Finals in 2015 I say if because I'm not a ignorant cocky fan like most get when thier team wins a title I'm very Grateful we won this year. So we'll see.
SAS is a great team but I really don't want them to win the 6th ring with Duncan. Only MJ deserves that title.
Spurs hater? Spurs? Lmao. Why would anyone hate on the Spurs
404040c Robinson always played well vs the bulls
with out a doubt the bulls would have won more rings if MJ didn't retire
Spurs had Robinson Elliot Duncan Johnson, Lakers had shaq Eddie Jones Kobe Bryant rick fox and nick van axle. Sonics had Payton Kemp shremph and Perkins. The rockets had olajuwon drexler and Barkley. The jazz had Stockton Malone hornacek and Sloan as coach. Think about that next time
Think about that the best time someone tells you the 90"s were watered down
Nba finals would be if not for the last dance
Damn he looks like he floating in the air 1:39
I can see Manu Ginobli was in mid-season form
that was vinny del negro
It's too bad that Duncan's Spurs never met Jordan's Bulls in the Finals. It would have been an EPIC battle. If it was played in 2003, the Spurs would have beaten MJ, Scottie, and Rodman in 7 games. Obviously, if it was 98 the Bulls would have won it in 6. (The Bulls never swept the finals, and only went 5 games once, against the Lakers in 91). What might have been!!
no way.......the spurs could beat chicago
oden52dof you must be stupid
TroubleMan Dblock BULLS >>>>>>>> SPURS
oden52dof
i read that wrong bruh my fault. your right
yo dumb Scott and Dennis didn't even play with Michael in 2003
We're is Manu and parker 🤔🤔🤔
this serious question? If it is then Parker wasnt drafted till 2001 and manu was drafted in 1999 but didnt join the team till 2002.
The twin towers were as great as the spurs with duncan, parker and ginobili...they won the 1999 finals
3:38 4 defender mj is too skilled! Old mj looks young duncan too slow. 5:28 3 defender duncan don't know how to guard MJ.
30/5/3/2/1 on 12/22 shooting is a great stat-line, but to say he "owned" them is taking it a little far. Jordan is the greatest of all-time. But the title sounds like it's trying to disrespect the Spurs more than it's trying to praise Jordan. Little annoying.
stfu
jordan isn't the greatest of all time, and robinson outscored him this game
***** Kawhi put up 35/5/3/5/0 on 10/21 shooting against the Warriors & Spurs won. I still don't call that owning.
So? MJ is still the GOAT.
Was this filmed on a toaster?
Just be glas someone posted it!
SO Jordan owned the spurs, but looking at the basketball reference link, Admiral scored 35 with 8 rebounds(timmy lead with 12) and 3 steals and 3 blocks. I understand bulls won by 10 points, but video and comment section trying to make it seem Jordan scored 30 while shutting down the twin towers lmao.
whos jordan?
Who's Logan?
+LSDelicious420 lol
Tim Duncan didn't wanna play in NBA he used basketball to get scholarship for college! Tha man wanted to be a pharmacist and the boss said no you playing in NBA whether you like it or not cuz il ruin you. That's messed up making somebody win 5 championships , make all that money, and get all that attention when the guy, I know he's 70 foot but he just wanted to be a pharmacist man!
Ha! The Heat would just get swept, don't know about the Spurs though...
Na this was Tim Duncan's 5th season in the NBA cuz he wanted to hide in college so he wouldn't have to get a real job in the NBA! Duncan was suppose to be in NBA his sophomore year but was like nah I ain't working. Finally, after 4 years they told Tim you have to go!!!!!! You either can be homeless on the street or finally get a real job in NBA and Tim was like I guess il play in the NBA! Anybody buy that time wanted a college degree is naive! He was scared of nba
sad to say. bulls 90's > 2013 mia
Give me Mj and pip over lebron and wade ANY DAY!!!!
Guarded by accountant Vinny Del Negro
Its doesnt matter that was an old mj not even his prime anymore...duncan and robinson had fresher legs and those player lead the spurs in 1999 championship after this season
Old mj just beat 7 foot athletic center on a jumpball..man thats impressive
LOL. Duncan is old as dirt.
And who was there guarding Michael Jordan ??
Pat bev
The whole league tried
Old mj just beat 7 foot athletic center on a jumpball..man thats impressive
Krause broke this team up one year too early. This should've been the 1999 finals matchup
At 0:51 Jordan performed a "block" which was actually goal attending. After that I stopped watching this video.
It not that big deal being blocked by Jordan:)
Lol "goal attending"
Oh shut up. The NBA is still enjoyable to watch. You guys act like NBA in the 90's is a god to you... the past is the past so enjoy what we have right now.
Because it was.
Michael Jordan overrated
I love my Spurs, but MJ is the best
