This is just great basketball. All these young dudes disrespecting the 90s players recently but they are just delusional.
It should of been the 1993 NBA Finals match-up.
Only a franchise that went to the 81 finals with 40 regular season wins would make a history promo video like this
Only a franchise that was 14-63 in 83 would make this kind of history promo video
Only a franchise that lost to a #6 seed 41-41 85 Jazz team without Mark Eaton ‼️and instead Pulitz or Plutz or Klutz at Center would use these regular season games for their history promo videos
Only a franchise that went to the NBA Finals with 51 wins in 86 would glorify these two regular season games for their history promo videos
Only a franchise that won 42 games following a Finals berth would glamorize these two regular season games from 92-93 season.
Hey the 92-93 Bulls won their 3rd championship 🏆 of the 90s. That's 1 more than the entire 90s Rockets 🚀 could win. And the 93 Bulls were only halfway done.
Only a franchise that lost to a 39-43 #7 seed Sonics team would promote these two regular season games on their franchise history website.
Only a franchise that lost 3-1 to the 88 Mavs would promote these two 92-93 regular season games.
Only a franchise who won 48,51,42,46 games from 85 to 88 with an all time center and twin tower 🗼 and twin tower 🗼 sidekick would immortalize these two regular season games.
Is it worth mentioning the Rockets regular season wins from 89-92? I mean from 85-92 are the Rockets even top 10 in league wins despite having the first of only two teams outside of Los Angeles to win the West ⬅️? (81 and 86 Rockets 🚀, 90 and 92 Blazers)
I'm trying to memorize the 85-97 Rockets team history, records and stats and highlights.
Cuz I was too busy watching the 85-97 Bulls 🐂 win 6 championships and the most games in the NBA during that time from the greatest neighborhood in Chicago history of Humboldt Park and Logan Square and Bucktown to even skim text about the 85-97 Rockets 🚀. Oh wait, I watched the 85-98 Bulls bcuz the 98 Bulls didn't wash up ashore like a beached dehydrated Whale 🐋🐳 into the postseason like the 98 Rockets did. How disappointed I was playing NBA Live 98 or 99 and dreaming about how good Olajuwon and Barkley and Drexler used to be in 97… It was like having a favorite uncle addicted to Vicodin that used to be spry and full of life 🧬. U knew he used to be great, but now can only look out a closed championship window 🪟 at the world 🌎🌍 carrying on without them. 😂
Cassell and Elie weren't even with this Rockets team yet.
MJ got flippin DOMMED
Houston was the ‘Paper’ to Chicago’s’Scissors’
They just had the perfect combo of players to give the Bulls fits.
Olajuwon is my favorite Center of all time. The guy was amazing.
That Houston team was stacked
I would rather watch this then todays nba anyday this some high level basketball
who hell beat Houston in the west that year?they good as hell
as a big time MJ fan, Olajuwon gets no love nationally as i have him #2 in terms of talent… other players maybe had better careers but if we are picking teams i am taking Olajuwon after MJ… lack of Bulls v Rockets Finals was a loss for all basketball fans… fax!!!
Bulls Rockets would’ve definitely went 7 games had they met in Finals
Good afternoon my friend, I live in Brazil. I'm a basketball fan, could you tell me where I can get this complete game? Do you know any place outside of youtube to get old NBA games?
Hakeem the 3rd best all around player ever was unstoppable..no way bulls beat this team in the finals
if rockets managed to eliminate sonics during 93, playoffs, they would have won their first title that year vs bulls and ended up with a 3peat
I love it when people say the Rocket would have never won 2 championships had Jordan sayed around…… I guess they never saw the regular season!
There you have it. Bulls exposed . They are the one team that exposed the bulls with a full squad. 94 and 95 would still be back to back Houston titles even with the bulls and with Drexler especially
To talk about forgiveness in the way that Mr. Tilman Fertitta did today. I respect him even more than I did. It's important to know that your teams owner is a stand-up guy. GO ROCKETS 🚀🚀🚀🚀 🚀 4EVER
Hakeem had an overall winning record vs Michael Jordan!
