no disrespect but legend larry bird wasn't quite as elite as michael jordan and scottie pippen wasn't as elite as stars robert parish and kevin mchale so the 1996 bulls weren't quite as elite the 1986 celtics
Pay attention to how the Bulls dominated the offensive glass. The Bulls had 24 offensive rebounds in this game, and overall outrebounded Seattle 51 to 35. Dennis Rodman led the way with 19 rebounds... 11 offensive. Seattle had 12 offensive rebounds as a team. Jordan had 9 rebounds, Pippen and Longley had 8 each.
@@peepoodemina this Sonics team is one of the greatest defensive teams of all time. The entire Sonics team tripled Hakeem in the WCSF and Jordan in these finals on almost every play. They are far from horrible smh
@@peepoodemina EXACTLY! These Sonics were probably the stiffest competition the Bulls faced in any of their 6 finals appearances. And that ain't saying too much.
2017 warriors were more lethal than these bulls im not a damn warriors fan but that team with kd as the second best player wasn't even fair they were too lethal at scoring great offense beats great defense in the nba ✌
2017 warriors are probably the best nba team but this sonics team was really good significantly better than the teams that damn warriors team played before the 2017 finals 🤡✌
This was the thing that was missing with the 73-9 Warriors. While the Warriors showed their dominance in the regular season, their fatigue showed throughout the playoffs. Struggled to a 4 seed Blazers, despite winning 4-1, nearly got booted out by OKC, and then got to the Cavs series trying to hide their fatigue and weariness using their aggression and cockiness (especially Klay Thompson pregame 5) only to give up the last 3 games, 2 of them at their once dominant Oracle Arena. Jordan and the Bulls kept their heads up and dominated all throughout the playoffs. The Supersonics series was a bit of a scare because of them forcing Game 6, but the Bulls were very resilient and never let their mental guards down, not like the Warriors.
The Bulls showed that they can win even when their superstar was having an off game. MJ was held down to just 22 points and his shooting was woeful, shooting 5 of 19 from the field. But the other Bulls stepped up their game. Scottie Pippen - 17 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 steals Luc Longley - 12 points, 8 rebounds Ron Harper and Toni Kukoc - 10 points each Dennis Rodman - 9 points, 19 rebounds (11 offensive rebounds) and putting Shawn Kemp off his game Steve Kerr - 7 points MJ knowing his shots weren’t going down maintained his high level of Basketball IQ in his part, finding ways to score from the line hitting 11 of 12 FTs and playing the role of facilitator, helping his teammates to score while grabbing 9 rebounds and handing 7 assists to compensate his poor shooting. The 96-98 Bulls team isn’t all about MJ and Pippen anymore.
@@RichardHomolka Nope, nice try. But you can see Randy going after it when Kukoc has it, first at 15:48. There is another, longer angle of this, where you can see he is clearly grabbing the ball and MJ snatches it back to his chest.
It was the time I stopped playing BB... until that time it had unhuman ggood sport spirit Pippen, Jordan, Kemp, Kukoc, Barkley, Malone, Payton....all were fighting for their team mates and for their sport....no ego was seen
I'm back here to rewatch this game, I watched it when it happened because of Shumpert. Pippen's Defense is all over the place. He's so right, when Scottie P. was ignited, the game changed, "IMMEDIATELY". IMMEDIATELY. lmao.
to me the teams that played the bulls best in the finals go in this EXACT order #1 1997 jazz #2 TIED 1993 suns and 1996 sonics #3 1998 jazz #4 1992 blazers and #5 1991 lakers

It’s sad , kids born in the 2000s slobbing all over lebron , have to discredit and trash mjs era and competition , to prop up LeBrons career . The game today isn’t the same as it was back in the 90s . It’s become a softer league , no hand checking , less defense aggressiveness , more 3 point shot jacking . The klutch narratives try and make it seem as if the sonics weren’t a great team . It’s sad to hear all that , because these teams were amazing , and the game was at its peek in the golden age of basketball .
You misinterpret. Jordan was taking that moment for himself to connect with his father who was killed before his first retirement and wanted him there to witness the game
Sound drunk asl. 1996 Bulls would give GS problems. GS always struggled against teams who were physical and the Bulls were loaded from top to bottom that they could play big or small against GS
Michael Jordan is the most overrated player I've ever seen. I have been studying full game highlights for weeks and he isn't what old heads tell you he is.
I WATCHED EVERY SINGLE MINUTE OF EVERY SINGLE GAME!!!!!🏀🏀🏀💯💯💯
Noone talks about how good the 96 sonics was too, MJ tha 🐐 kept alot of other greats thru the 90s from winning 🏆 s
@@darkangel8068because you don't play ball, that's why.
“How many champions did Jordan play?” Few. Because he won all the chips in the 90s.
MJ wasn't even the best player in this game. What are you talking about
damn man still ever time I see him balling on that floor thinking about his pops and winning on Father's day always chokes me up
i swear that i always have a tear that come up everytime i see him on the ground with the ball this sport is crazy
The legendary bulls 1995-1996 was super awesome 👍
no disrespect but legend larry bird wasn't quite as elite as michael jordan and scottie pippen wasn't as elite as stars robert parish and kevin mchale so the 1996 bulls weren't quite as elite the 1986 celtics
@@youtuber3328that's your opinion...🤣
please tell me did you EVER EVER agree with me AT ALL
Dennis Rodman was the star of this game... 9 points 19 rebounds 11 offensive rebounds 5 assists 3 steals 1 block 0 turnovers in 38 minutes
And, per usual, he was all business all the time… What a terrific player
So he had 30 rebounds that's really good
@mellonhead6180 No... he had 19 rebounds of which 11 were offensive.
Draymond can be that guy if he had the right fuses
he was the MVP

Dennis Rodman is one of the best player
one who controls the rebound controls the game
This made me remember how dominant their defense was. Even when the offense struggled that D was overwhelming!
Pippen was all over the place, Amazing Defender.
Greatest team in all sports of all time
Playing against these horrible competition, you should be.

If MJ not retire for sure Chicago will straight that til 1998 8 champion 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
I agree with your comment..because that era belongs to Jordanaire 😅
I agree wiht you
Without question bulls would have 8 championship
Well explain why he didn't win the first year that he came back then.
@@josuearreola4754he only retired for 1 year goof
Why's this suggested for me all of a sudden. I seen all these games with my mom. Much love and respect for these beautiful athletes 💓 mari
the greatest team ever assembled
One of the most memorable/emotional moments in sports. Jordan sobbing in memory of his dad
MJ had that hunger and fight in him that not a lot of players do. That’s what separates him from the rest. He refused to lose.
Dennis Rodman...Silent Hero.

Great memories as a kid! Go Bulls!
Every finals mj wons had a lot of great stories, Thats y hes d best player of all time,
This was when the NBA was still very professional
MAKE IT 4 CHAMPIONSHIPS IN 6 YEARS BUT HOLD ON,,,,MJ WASNT DONE!!!!
THIS WAS THE START OF THE 2ND 3PEAT!!!!🏀🏀🏀💯💯💯
Jordan had a terrible field day but found others ways to help the team win the game..
And after all these years, I'm still pissed off at Brown for trying to grab that ball at the end.
Seriously! It angers me as much now as it did back then! Like he averaged 40ppg or something, man if you don't go and sit your a** down!
I think brown was trying to get a hug in. But it was too intense for Jordan at the time.
@@RichardHomolka Nope, nice try. But you can see Randy going after it when Kukoc has it, first at 15:48. There is another, longer angle of this, where you can see he is clearly grabbing the ball and MJ snatches it back to his chest.
Best Team Ever Chicago Bulls
10:42 Even Rodman was surprised he made it.
MJ is right Ain't no individual player is great..... But Great team indeed there is.....
thanks!
It was the time I stopped playing BB... until that time it had unhuman ggood sport spirit
Pippen, Jordan, Kemp, Kukoc, Barkley, Malone, Payton....all were fighting for their team mates and for their sport....no ego was seen
This was the CHICAGO BULLS TEAM that made them PBA icons especially a man named Michael Jordan.
you PROBABLY still know the 1991 bulls went 15-2 and 15-3 in 1996
In today’s arenas I always hated how huge the advertisements on the court were, and when watching this I realize it’s the same lmao
The only ever Gentleman-Sweep in NBA Finals history under the 2-3-2 format
I'm back here to rewatch this game, I watched it when it happened because of Shumpert. Pippen's Defense is all over the place. He's so right, when Scottie P. was ignited, the game changed, "IMMEDIATELY". IMMEDIATELY. lmao.
Kemp was the best player of this series , too bad Sonic’s couldn’t kill those Bulls
Excelente rival para los toros, ambos eran extraordinarios, pero siempre tiene que haber un ganador.
El mejor Bulls de todos los tiempos 95-96!!!
Yes!
This BULLS team sure is scary
First time the United Center sounded like old Chicago Stadium
As much as I loved the high flying shawn Kemp match up with the bulls, but damn was it fun watching Rodman destroy there Hope's and dreams😂
Good heavens what am i watching 😂
ABSOLUTE GREATNESS THAT CANNOT BE DUPLICATED!!!!!
The Dobermans. Relentless.
C'est sur que les joueurs à l'époque, pleuré moins que maintenant
Maintenant à chaque contact sa pleure
Missed the opening music 😢
REST EASY BILL WALTON
If I remember correctly, Sports Illustrated picked Seattle to win this series.
to me the teams that played the bulls best in the finals go in this EXACT order #1 1997 jazz #2 TIED 1993 suns and 1996 sonics #3 1998 jazz #4 1992 blazers and #5 1991 lakers
How do you get 11 offensive rebounds at 6.7" ?
Yep
My lady took me to the game!
The sonics never stood a chance in hell of winning this game
please tell me why did the sonics lose 107-90 in game one 92-88 in game two and 87-75 in game six to the bulls
Because the Bulls scored more points than Seattle after 4 quarters
thanks for telling me and i haven't looked into all that
please tell me UNLESS you don't want to which teams you feel played the bulls best in the finals
to me the teams that played the bulls best in the finals go in this EXACT order #1 1997 jazz #2 TIED 1993 suns and 1996 sonics #3 1998 jazz #4 1992 blazers and #5 1991 lakers
Because back then the team that played the best defense won 99% of the time
I wish sonics sonics won this game
So this is the same NBA2K20 story mode, i got 3 stars
Jordan just had to have the ball at the end. But why?
IT WAS THE FIRST CHAMPIONSHIP AFTER THE PASSING OF HIS FATHER!!!!
It was also Father’s Day
Randy Brown tried his best
“This is for daddy.”
It’s sad , kids born in the 2000s slobbing all over lebron , have to discredit and trash mjs era and competition , to prop up LeBrons career .

Admit!!!
In season tournament > NBA finals
No I watch the tip off
Sonics should've won on 94 or 95
It is real game
Not 3pt shootout
No matter what, jordan makes it about him. It was a team effort
You misinterpret. Jordan was taking that moment for himself to connect with his father who was killed before his first retirement and wanted him there to witness the game
10:44-10:45 😆
Gary payton team played like the Mob was like better 🤔lose😏
Painful
2017 warriors would embarrass any of these 90s teams by 50 a game. Its pathetic how slow they are.
Sound drunk asl. 1996 Bulls would give GS problems. GS always struggled against teams who were physical and the Bulls were loaded from top to bottom that they could play big or small against GS
