I was worried the Pacers were going to win there for a second
Offensive rebounds
50 to 1 in favour of the Bulls.
this is awesome, thx
Could never understand how on one end of the court MJ drives among all those Indiana players and doesn't get the fool call but on the ensuing fast break on the other end they call a fool..SMH
MJ didn't won that game , Indiana turnovers did, Indiana took him to a game 7 and almost got him, no dominance there
Toni kukoc was a great player
Jordan and pippen did not play great in this game they both shot a low percentage but played great defense however Toni offensively played very well
Plumber eraππ
Kukoc was π₯ in 3rd quarter
So tell me, did Toni Kukoc stop Dale Davis on the Indiana pacers team.
Also in the championship against the Utah jazz Dennis Rodman was the key he guard karl Malone because they didn't have Horace grant anymore
So now tell me i am lying
Without Rodman, they wouldn't have 3peat it
Also tell me why phill Jackson brought Dennis Rodman in the game as quick as he did because Toni Kukoc couldn't stop Dale Davis
Jordan IS a GOAT of Basketball
πΏπ
With old days basketball very critical, i think when Steve Kerr shot first three scored Bird should call time out so can stop momentum for Bulls. If this happened maybe Bulls missed bit momentum then game could be different.
4th quater game on the line MJ still believe Luc. This GOAT knows what to do. Not like one called GOAT but missed a lot of Q4 shots , air balls less assists, turnover π
Harper faces after shot free throw gave respects for Pacers.
One of two game 7 that the Bulls played during their 6-ring-seasons, with the other being against the Knicks in the second round of the 1992 playoffs
Thank you so much for this!
byron russell and hes teammate stumble through a interview so sad losers already
1:59:21 the moment reggie messed up and jordan continued!!!!! lol
Who the pacers still lost this game because they suck
REAL BASKETBALL.
Not a bunch of whining and flopping while jacking up 3s all game. Just real men playing ball
Back when nba basketball was worth watching.

These were the good old days indeed. I was in high school and watched every game of the playoffs in those days. After that I passively followed Jackson's Lakers with Kobe. Ever since the last years of Kobe I completely tuned out. NBA hasn't been worth anything for about 15 years. I was a Jackson, MJ, Pippen, Bulls fan, but liked the Pacers too. Reggie is a true legend with class and Bird is an all time great of course. Great matchup. I gaurantee you MJ was more worried about this game than any playoff game in his career solely because of Larry Bird, the one guy that MJ never got the best of as a player. If Bird were playing for the Pacers here my money would have been on them. Bird just knows how to win.
Rodman shut Davis down!
You watch this game, then you was a game from today, and you can absolutely understand why since 2012 the viewership for the NBA is down 48%. Kids today have been absolutely ROBBED from what actual basketball looks like.
