Yeah, so sad how soft the league has got. Some of the most exciting games to watch was when two guys went at each other. Man, it's nothing like those battles. Today if you even look at a player wrong you are on the bench or kicked out and fined...game is so pussy these days.
***** You still have Noah vs whatever team Lebron plays on , Kobe and Howard aren't the best of friends either and can't forget Greg Popovich vs the sideline reporters lol
Armani Almonte Things have changed since the pistons brawl and the nba has gotten straight tough. There are still some tough guys like zach randolph,kevin garnett,matt barnes,etc
See how they trashed talked and bumped each other? No big deal.. it's a game of emotion... no techs.. no BS calls.. just continue play. Idk what the heck the league is now?
What the hell... Why aren't the refs stopping this and giving them both technical fouls, and why isn't the league fining or suspending them both? Oh yeah, because these were MEN, and that era was a better era.
Schro King naw you just a bitch. aint nothing wrong with competitiveness unlike the era of today. you so much as make eye contact with your opponent and its an instant technical
gary bush exactly. I miss players like Rodman, Shawn Kemp, latrell sprewell, Tim Hardaway, etc. Nowadays everyone wanna be friends and play on the same squad with each other. Back when everyone wanted to beat one another, that was the competitive mentality in the 80s and 90s era
Scottie Pippen's early 90's high top fade is as legendary as his defense. The high top fade has made something of a comeback these days. Unfortunately defense has not. At least the way the Bulls used to play it.
By this time, Scottie Pippen could definitely handle all the trash talk and everything that came with it. He was hardened by the bad boys, Detroit Pistons, and Dennis Rodman himself.
It was never about the talk. It was the non-basketball contact that exceeded bullyball. The game is physical but Detroit and NY played more fouls than ball.
This is real basketball, these battles made me a basketball fan. I was a Laker fan but I was born in 1983 so when it was the showtime Lakers I was very young I started watching basketball when I was 9 years old so I remember all these games between the Suns and the Bulls, Jazz vs Bulls, Bulls vs The knicks, and then the Jazz vs Lakers all on (NBA on NBC). That's when I loved the NBA, I was a die hard Lakers fan when it was tough to watch before the Kobe and Shaq era and after the Show time Lakers.
This was when there was actually some REAL competition going on - not the *sports entertainment* of today. The NBA more closely resembles the WWE nowadays.
+Sho'Nuff Says ᶠᶸᶜᵏᵧₒᵤ LeRoy! ™ the days it was set up for the Bulls to win every year, and the NBA was closer to the WWE... disagree. Do you know how many games the NBA fixed by point shaving and calling phantom foul calls on Jordan? Terrible.

Man look at the physicality in each and every play! Body's banging all over the floor and not a single guy flopping and crying for calls. It was a defense first league and it clearly showed
2:41 Charles's physique was always unnerving to me. He was only 6'6" but he had high shoulders, super long-arms, was extremely bulky and (somehow) had a huge vertical leap. He literally had EVERY other physical gift to let him play big around the rim to make-up for his height. It's almost like he was designed for it.
+JmuPhilip's Wrestling Moments I'm just expressing my opinion and the current situation, do you live in communist country where you can't have an opinion? Don't be salty. There is freedom of speech, and all I said are the facts.
Barkley wasn't the greatest player to ever play though he was definitely in the top 20-25 but there probably wasn't anybody who enjoyed having fun in pressure situations more than him. He wore greatness more loosely than any other player of his stature. He was a franchise Hall of Fame player who had the personality of the colorful sub at the end of the bench.
Who does the NBA think they are protecting nowadays with their zero tolerance on trash talk. The kids? Hahaha. Kids are going to have to deal with intimidation. No one is going to protect them once they get out into the real world. They have to be mentally tough. You aren't helping them by coddling them.
+Matt Williams Kevin Garnett still yells "shit on me" every time he blocks a shot... they don't want arguing with refs, or another brawl like the one at the Garden. So, they're protecting themselves, and their brand. That's it, no one gives a fuck about the children, and players talk shit all of the time, no Ts are called.
The world don't give a damn about how sensitive these kids are. The NBA aren't doing kids a favor by patronizing them. They're crippling them; they're crippling them for life.

Pippen a straight beast. Last finals of the Bulls run Jordan calls him his twin. Jordan made Pippen better and Pippen made Jordan great. Pippen and the Bulls win the finals the year Jordan retires if not for the bullshit call with the Knicks. Without Pippen the Bulls don't get those 6 Championships. 3 or 4 tops.
Pippen could not guard Grant Hill. Pippen along with Michael are two of the top 10 defenders of all time, however, Grant Hill who is a similar player like Pippen would run circles around him. It's on video and NBA players comment on it whenever they talk about the one person Scottie couldn't guard. Jordan would have to guard Grant and he wasn't having a good day when he was put on him, although he did a whole lot better than Scottie. Jordan could force Grant to pass the ball, Scottie could not. Grant would take Scottie every chance he got!
Nowadays it would be flagrant foul 1 + double technical + ejection + execution at dawn the day after, for both of them...and of course after being fined 375.000$ for trash talk
Barkely should have won it all that year, to culminate a terrific MVP year. That was a really good Phoenix team, KJ, Barkely, Marley, some decent supporting players around them. The problem with them was that as a team they were small no true center and their PF was 6' 4 compared to Horace Grant 6' 10 and ofcourse they had Cartwright at center over 7 feet. This is why they lost IMO. And the play of Jordan ofcourse, but I think if Phoenix had a true big man, they would have won. Too bad for Barkely who didn't get a championship, otherwise a great Career. As for Pippen a top 50 player in his own right and underrated because he played alongside Jordan. He proved he can take the Bulls far without Jordan, just not far enough to win it all by himself but Jordan without Pippen, wasn't able to do jack.
Sir Charles didn't average that high, but he did have games that were comparable that year, and he didn't have to score that high to win, KJ put up some good numbers too. I still maintain that team was too small.
+Turk420 Huh?? MJ retired for the first time after this Finals. The Bulls already won 2 years in a roll before this. The NBA did fine with the emergence of Shaq, Olajuwon, Pippen, and others when Jordan first retired in 1993.
Ik this was six years ago but stop the BS. The team that popped played with had more talent than any team MJ ever played with when not playing with pippen.
There's a undeniable top 3 in the 90's, Jordan, Olajuwon and Malone. All the rest was debatable, but for me, Pippen is the forth best player of the 90's. Hell, he can be considered even the third best over Malone. The consistency, the crazy video game numbers he averaged playing without Jordan, he never missed a playoff spot in his entire career. I believe he only missed once, 15+ years of constant success. The guy is a true champion, similar to players like Horry and Kerr. But unlike those guys, he had elite talent. That what makes him the most underrated player of all times.
+therealist811 Both in their prime, I would bet all my money on Karl, no question. He was a true monster basically his entire career and, as you said, Barkley have his best years in his early career, then he became basically a liability on the floor. Pippen himself was able to shut down prime Charles with relative ease sometimes. People overestimate Barkley too much in my opinion. Some even dare to say that he stands out because he won an MVP in a year that Jordan was playing. This means basically nothing, lol Rose won his MVP in a year where LeBron was playing, so what? That makes that particular MVP "better" than the others? Barkley for me was the Allen Iverson of the 90's, charismatic and exciting to watch, incredible early career and... That's it. These things alone don't make a legendary player.
So...Pippin tries to guard Barkley, fouls, Barkley to the line and hits two. Barkley guards Pippen...Pippen misses. I'd say that Barkley could indeed guard Scottie, but but the reverse is not true.
Right, but I'm more so making the point that players can get caught up in the emotional/psychological aspects of the game, and in this case, the Bull's best player didn't even have to be burdened by the psychological hurdles from the Sun's best player. In other words, if Barkley's boys couldn't beat Pippen's boys, how the hell could they beat Jordan's boys? Hope I'm making sense there.
Pippen was simply standing up for himself. Back in the late 80's, he was always picked on by the likes of Rodman and even Oakley when they were teammates (there's a video of Oakley "jokingly" slapping rookie Pippen around). Hell, there's even a highlight of Jordan getting in Xavier McDaniel's face b/c the latter had been bullying Pippen in Game 7 of the 1992 playoffs. As a Chicagoan during the 80's & 90's, I know for a fact that Pippen was never known as the type of player who would do what you just described. One video of him trash talking doesn't mean he consistently did it. On the contrary, MJ actually preferred to get into psychological battles w/ other elite players (including Charles) as it tended to heighten his performance.
This was the finals right after the Dream Team. Barkley was the leading scorer on that team, Pip led in assist and was the best perimeter defender. Legends going at it LOL.
Barkley was a 6'3 PF who could shoot threes, Board, defense, pass, dribble. I am sorry but Tim Duncan or Karl in their prime was not better than MVP Barkley
+Nova Knowself Jesus christ dude barkley was not 6'3". Every time someone talks about Barkley he gets shorter. Barkley was 6'4" 3/4 barefoot, so he was about 6'5" barefoot and 6'6" in shoes. He's almost exactly the same height as Kobe and Jordan, two other guys who are about 6'4" 3/4 barefoot,
PurpleMonkeyDishwasher So you argue he was 6'4 instead of 6'3? Big difference. Barkley was not as tall as Jordan 6'6 or Kobe 6'7. And just think about that. Dangelo Russell is taller than Barkley and he dominated at PF for over a decade of 20 plus 10 plus doing everything on the court. This may never happen again
+Nova Knowself Dude Barkley Kobe and Jordan are all the exact same height. I'm not arguing that Barkley is 6'4" instead of 6'3", I'm telling you that Barkley is just under 6'5" barefoot, nowhere near 6'3". Kobe is also nowhere near 6'7". He was listed at that height early in his career but that's the same as Ben Wallace being listed at 6'9" or Michael Beasley being listed at 6'10", They're not accurate heights and everyone knows this. There are tons of photos of Jordan and Kobe or Kobe and Barkley or Jordan and Barkley. They were all the same height.
Nova Knowself Also, Deangelo Russell is in no way taller than Barkley. Russell was measured 6'3" 1/2 at the combine. Barkley is 6'4" 3/4. Barkley is an inch and a half taller.
PurpleMonkeyDishwasher Ok if you say so. Lol. My only point is Barkley was and is the best PF to ever play. He was Lebron like in his prime. Could do everything. Go watch his MVP season. No PF in history was better than that year
i've heard about comments like this one but I've never actually came across one until now. i thought it was a myth but now i see it's real. even by youtube standards i didn't want to believe that someone was this fucking stupid to write a comment such as this one, thanks for lowering my standards even more when it comes to the youtube comment section...
MachineGunMouth Then explain to me how it's stupid. Like swap Barkley and Pippen and watch how much better the Bulls would've been each year. So use your brain and you won't be posting these dumb replies.
Justin Matthews so tell me exactly how jordan "made" pippen. pippen is a beast all by himself. he's a monster with or without jordan. jordan completed the bulls dynasty but to say jordan "made" pippen is so fuckin disrespectful to pippen and his contributions to the dynasty.
MachineGunMouth Didn't even wanna answer my question that's how I know you don't know anything. If you actually read what I said I that Jordan made Pippen to what he was, not that he was ever good. So stop crying and hop off of him, I didn't even come at him like that and Pippen fed off of Jordan who knew how to get open, so whenever they would double team Jordan he'd always be available to knock it down. So without him Pippen would probably be another... Clyde Drexler.
Justin Matthews you need to hop off jordan because they fed off each other. everyone knows jordan is the greatest, i'm not taking anything from him but saying jordan made pippen is taking a lot from scottie. on your response you really said absolutely nothing. if barkley and pippen swapped then of course they'd still be a hell of a squad. but pippen would still be a beast regardless...
+Igigjf Jcuf Offensively yes, but the other side of the ball it was overwhelmingly swung in Pippen's favor. Barkley is like a 9/10 offensively and 5/10 defensively Pippen is more 7-10 offensively and a 10/10 defensively Pippen in my opinion is a more complete basketball player even though they played different positions.
+EnduringArts pull those numbers out of your ass? He's like a something and he's like a something. Charles Barkley was the second best player in the world to only MJ, and this was the year chuck won the MVP he was a way better player than Scottie, chuck carried that Phoenix team by himself to the finals, scottie had MJ the greatest of all time to help him. Get real and get facts next time instead of pulling numbers out your ass.
you see who elite players really are when you compare regular season stats and playoff stats. elite players are always stronger in the playoffs and that is what barkley was. scottie on the other hand...
Jay Deante Not true. They rarely even matched up with each other. But keep this in mind: whenever Barkley faced a Pippen-led team he was always outscored by Pippen.
This video was when Barkley was arguably in his prime. So while Barkley was a dominant player, it's obvious that pip was a brilliant (imo the greatest ever perimeter) defender.
A. Pippen was always Jordan's bitch... never be anything without him. B. I like how during the Jordan dunk Dan Marjlie is about 6 ft away from him. The rule in the NBA back then was if you were close enough to breath on Jordan it was an automatic foul... Dan knew that, so did Magic Johnson.
Lmao stop it, and Scottie Pippen was one of the best players of that decade, and if you disagree then Clearly you either wasn't really watching, or time has made you forget...
Goddamn, I love basketball. I'm angry that I didn't pay more attention back then and appreciate what this game was like with all these giants. These fuckers were warriors. Today's basketball has been pussified.
In today's NBA that conversation is a double technical, both ejected, fined, and suspended for a year.
lol
so true
STFU old guy
Yeah, so sad how soft the league has got. Some of the most exciting games to watch was when two guys went at each other. Man, it's nothing like those battles. Today if you even look at a player wrong you are on the bench or kicked out and fined...game is so pussy these days.

Barkley averaged 27ppg in this series.. he definitely showed up.
i think his teammates had to show up more, and they needed to play better defense.. Barkley did as much as he could.
Barkley and Pipen 2 legends.
Pretty much why he still rips on the suns till this day in my opinion 😭😭
slikdarelic he averaged the most of any single player against Jordan's bulls in their 6 championship runs

That makes that particular MVP "better" than the others? Barkley for me was the Allen Iverson of the 90's, charismatic and exciting to watch, incredible early career and... That's it. These things alone don't make a legendary player.
+Rafael Teles my point if you don't consider Barkley one of the best in 90's games, you don't really love NBA.
Wish I saw all these greats play! I remember watching jordan at the end of his bulls career but I was only 4!
So...Pippin tries to guard Barkley, fouls, Barkley to the line and hits two. Barkley guards Pippen...Pippen misses. I'd say that Barkley could indeed guard Scottie, but but the reverse is not true.
remember richard dumas
ONE OF THE COLDEST!!!!!
how good did MJ have it that pippen took on the hostilities of the other teams best player
Funny how that works huh..people tend to forget that little detail.
Joseph Pawlowski Well Barkley is a Forward. Would make no sense for Jordan to be there.
Right, but I'm more so making the point that players can get caught up in the emotional/psychological aspects of the game, and in this case, the Bull's best player didn't even have to be burdened by the psychological hurdles from the Sun's best player. In other words, if Barkley's boys couldn't beat Pippen's boys, how the hell could they beat Jordan's boys? Hope I'm making sense there.
Pippen was simply standing up for himself. Back in the late 80's, he was always picked on by the likes of Rodman and even Oakley when they were teammates (there's a video of Oakley "jokingly" slapping rookie Pippen around). Hell, there's even a highlight of Jordan getting in Xavier McDaniel's face b/c the latter had been bullying Pippen in Game 7 of the 1992 playoffs. As a Chicagoan during the 80's & 90's, I know for a fact that Pippen was never known as the type of player who would do what you just described. One video of him trash talking doesn't mean he consistently did it. On the contrary, MJ actually preferred to get into psychological battles w/ other elite players (including Charles) as it tended to heighten his performance.
interesting. thanks.
This was the finals right after the Dream Team. Barkley was the leading scorer on that team, Pip led in assist and was the best perimeter defender. Legends going at it LOL.
The players in the 90s look a lot bigger than the guys today.
Niclacoste Lol no
Moses David taller players back then. Just look at the number of legit 7 footers in the 90s versus the # of legit 7 footers today.
gabe228
every era has their players. back then was the center era. around 2000 to about 2007 was the SG era now its the point guard era
Moses David In 00-07 Shaq won 4 titles, definetely not SG era.
Niclacoste They're the exact same size.
Scottie Pippin is the most underated player in nba history!!! # handsdown
Barkley to pippen: u cant guard me
Pippen to barley: do you have a RING?
Pippen had Jordan don't forget if Charles had Jordan Charles would of won a ring
Man I loved those Barkley KJ Majerle Suns teams...
when the NBA was the maNBA
Barkley was a 6'3 PF who could shoot threes, Board, defense, pass, dribble. I am sorry but Tim Duncan or Karl in their prime was not better than MVP Barkley
+Nova Knowself Jesus christ dude barkley was not 6'3". Every time someone talks about Barkley he gets shorter. Barkley was 6'4" 3/4 barefoot, so he was about 6'5" barefoot and 6'6" in shoes. He's almost exactly the same height as Kobe and Jordan, two other guys who are about 6'4" 3/4 barefoot,
PurpleMonkeyDishwasher So you argue he was 6'4 instead of 6'3? Big difference. Barkley was not as tall as Jordan 6'6 or Kobe 6'7. And just think about that. Dangelo Russell is taller than Barkley and he dominated at PF for over a decade of 20 plus 10 plus doing everything on the court. This may never happen again
+Nova Knowself Dude Barkley Kobe and Jordan are all the exact same height. I'm not arguing that Barkley is 6'4" instead of 6'3", I'm telling you that Barkley is just under 6'5" barefoot, nowhere near 6'3". Kobe is also nowhere near 6'7". He was listed at that height early in his career but that's the same as Ben Wallace being listed at 6'9" or Michael Beasley being listed at 6'10", They're not accurate heights and everyone knows this. There are tons of photos of Jordan and Kobe or Kobe and Barkley or Jordan and Barkley. They were all the same height.
Nova Knowself Also, Deangelo Russell is in no way taller than Barkley. Russell was measured 6'3" 1/2 at the combine. Barkley is 6'4" 3/4. Barkley is an inch and a half taller.
PurpleMonkeyDishwasher Ok if you say so. Lol. My only point is Barkley was and is the best PF to ever play. He was Lebron like in his prime. Could do everything. Go watch his MVP season. No PF in history was better than that year
Fast forward to 1995 when Pippen shuts down Barkley in a game in the United Center 😁
How can you not love 90’s basketball?
Can't say that Scottie wasn't better, but he still was a good player. Barkley was made on his own while Pippen was made by Jordan
i've heard about comments like this one but I've never actually came across one until now. i thought it was a myth but now i see it's real. even by youtube standards i didn't want to believe that someone was this fucking stupid to write a comment such as this one, thanks for lowering my standards even more when it comes to the youtube comment section...
MachineGunMouth Then explain to me how it's stupid. Like swap Barkley and Pippen and watch how much better the Bulls would've been each year. So use your brain and you won't be posting these dumb replies.
Justin Matthews so tell me exactly how jordan "made" pippen. pippen is a beast all by himself. he's a monster with or without jordan. jordan completed the bulls dynasty but to say jordan "made" pippen is so fuckin disrespectful to pippen and his contributions to the dynasty.
MachineGunMouth Didn't even wanna answer my question that's how I know you don't know anything. If you actually read what I said I that Jordan made Pippen to what he was, not that he was ever good. So stop crying and hop off of him, I didn't even come at him like that and Pippen fed off of Jordan who knew how to get open, so whenever they would double team Jordan he'd always be available to knock it down. So without him Pippen would probably be another... Clyde Drexler.
Justin Matthews you need to hop off jordan because they fed off each other. everyone knows jordan is the greatest, i'm not taking anything from him but saying jordan made pippen is taking a lot from scottie. on your response you really said absolutely nothing. if barkley and pippen swapped then of course they'd still be a hell of a squad. but pippen would still be a beast regardless...
young Pippen can totally shut down LEBRON .. not even in the caliber of Pippen..
Man the NBA was so much better back then. The intensity and the defense just made for incredible basketball.
Damn I miss this NBA
Charles can't play Scottie.Charles can't play Defense.Scottie owns him.
Yea, aight
Yea, aight
Nowadays its all flops and whining...
Barkley was a beast, who wouldn't back down for no one! Now he's uncle Chuckster who loves donuts. What a funny guy!
Miss this type of competition
barkely is much better than scottie
+Igigjf Jcuf Offensively yes, but the other side of the ball it was overwhelmingly swung in Pippen's favor.
Barkley is like a 9/10 offensively and 5/10 defensively
Pippen is more 7-10 offensively and a 10/10 defensively
Pippen in my opinion is a more complete basketball player even though they played different positions.
+EnduringArts pull those numbers out of your ass? He's like a something and he's like a something. Charles Barkley was the second best player in the world to only MJ, and this was the year chuck won the MVP he was a way better player than Scottie, chuck carried that Phoenix team by himself to the finals, scottie had MJ the greatest of all time to help him. Get real and get facts next time instead of pulling numbers out your ass.
+VeryFriendly Nihilist barkely was in a shitty team and yet they get him to final. pippen did not do any thing with MJ
Correct EnduringArts. I was going to comment, but you covered it.
But just for fun, check out the youtube video from the following season, 93-94 were pip shutdown barkley.
you see who elite players really are when you compare regular season stats and playoff stats. elite players are always stronger in the playoffs and that is what barkley was. scottie on the other hand...
+illu322 - Executive Order 11110 Scottie on the other hand had 6 rings to Charles 0 shut up
+Hyperion Dark scottie cant do this when jordan went to play baseball jordan handed him those rings barkely took a shit team in the finals
Scottie did amazing without jordan. Jordan needed scottie just as much. Keep hating
Pippen couldn't guard him..!
They need to bring back the air horn lmao!!😂😂😂
Pippen used to own Barkley .
Jay Deante
Not true. They rarely even matched up with each other. But keep this in mind: whenever Barkley faced a Pippen-led team he was always outscored by Pippen.
Nobody Touches Jordan I would like to know as well. But I'll say Kevin cause himself, because they only played Man-to-man in the 90's.
*****
bj armstrong
nobody could guard chuck in his prime-Pippen was a joke
This video was when Barkley was arguably in his prime. So while Barkley was a dominant player, it's obvious that pip was a brilliant (imo the greatest ever perimeter) defender.
Barkely was ten times the player pippen was
nah
You're right, he was 11
thanks for the laugh, now go back to the hole you came from my sweet summer child that knows nothing about bball
His ass might have been 10x as big...
That's why pipen started on the dream team and barkley was on the bench
Great Times of NBA
If MJ would play today at his prime he would score twice almost 60 pt per game.
Pippen would eat Barkley for breakfast.
A. Pippen was always Jordan's bitch... never be anything without him.
B. I like how during the Jordan dunk Dan Marjlie is about 6 ft away from him. The rule in the NBA back then was if you were close enough to breath on Jordan it was an automatic foul... Dan knew that, so did Magic Johnson.
You are Pip's bitch
you wish you had even a bitch, scottie was top 10 of all time and so is your comment: worst 10 in bball history you know nothing about this sport lawl
93-94 Pippen without Jordan: 22ppg, 9 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals, 1 block...those are great numbers...
Lmao stop it, and Scottie Pippen was one of the best players of that decade, and if you disagree then Clearly you either wasn't really watching, or time has made you forget...
NBA was sooo much fun in the 90s then today's...
Barkley is a beast and he keep it real. Also Pippen is a legend.
Pippen couldn't guard Barkley
The real NBA the best NBA god how much i miss it
Goddamn, I love basketball. I'm angry that I didn't pay more attention back then and appreciate what this game was like with all these giants. These fuckers were warriors. Today's basketball has been pussified.
Barkley was tough. He never backed down from a fight ... the only thing he regrets now is that 80's mustache.
