Bulls vs. Heat - 1998 (TNT Night game)
Спорт
/ scottie33pippen
Miami Heat beat the Bulls in a prior game by 25 points earlier in the season (without Pippen) and also called this game a statement game. However, Michael Jordan was the one who made the statement with 37 points. Scottie Pippen added 19 points, 8 assists, and 6 rebounds.

Its nice to hear players back then so fundamentally sound when it comes to their post game interviews. Such a class act. Missin the 90's basketball.

It's still there, lol.
11 year old me was on my first trip to america, all the way from europe and i got to watch these legends play ball. Still got the tickets tucked away, what a memory.
Most people, 15 years removed, probably don't remember that the 1997-1998 Bulls team didn't have Pippen for the first 38 games, and they STILL won 62 games that year. Amazing.

Um... Nobody forgot
Damn man, this is MJ at 35 years old and he's dominating everybody. That's what happens when you've mastered every facet of the game, even as he lost his athleticism he was still able to use all the other parts of his game and it was like he never lost a step.
that was the most comfortable interview i've ever watched
First of all....how super duper rare is it to hear Kevin Harlan commentating in the back end of the Bulls dynasty....it seems surreal, almost like filling the gap between then and now with his over the top sensational commentating and zeal.
WOW, just WOW. I realize these are only highlights, but you can just see how much better the bball that the Bulls played then than a lot of teams do today (if not all). I mean, you have excellent, excellent team defense, MJ, Pippen and Kukoc showing their usual offensive prowess, Kerr with one or two passes, Rodman dominating in defense, etc... No wonder they won 72 games in 1996 and again won a championship in 1998. Comparing this team to the teams of today, no comparison, in my opinion.
Man these games use to be sooooo good! Come home from work, take a shower, get something to eat and drink, relax and watch the Bulls play on TNT or WGN. MJ never disappointed. A real good time in my life.
The way the net would "splash" after the ball left his hand was like no other.
Doc said I think he's the best post player in basketball. Shidd, that was never a debate especially after the first 3peat. He completely changed his game...And he still was the best.

I agree with you but you wouldn't argue if someone else says Hakeem the dream or The Diesel (Just because of their efficiency around the rim). MJ all day and forever though. #OlimpusGOAT
I absolutely love watching these. Brings back memories
Second Best player in the History of NBA who ever played the Game, is without No Doubt Scottie Pippen 33 🏀
Kevin Harlan: "HE GOT UP HIGH AND CAME DOWN HARD!!!! THEY CALL THAT THE 'HIGH HARD ONE!!!!'" Vintage Kevin Harlan! #ilovethisgamebasketball
His post game and fade aways were amazing.
sometimes i wonder if jordan is the GOAT. Then i watch old vids like this, and i remember that he is.

And to think Jordan was already 35 years old at this point, but the way he played around with Miami's D would make you think that he was still in his twenties. Greatest ever!
These team is so nice than now
"I had the flu" "You shoudn't be out here then" Whatever you say, Michael
I remember watching this game on TV, thank you for uploading
He's such a stand-up guy never really wants to trash talk. but you get it. Thank you mj for all the great memories
Love the post game interviews back in the day.
Michael finished his career #3 on the all-time scoring list (is still #5 now) despite playing significantly FEWER season than everyone ahead of him AND attempting not being a high volume 3-pt shooter.
final dominant year of a legendary bulls team
Gotta love Kevin Harlan, he makes everything sound exciting. "OHHHH! WHAT A GORGEOUS TURNOVER! AND THEN THE HEAT TAKE A TIMEOUT! OHHHH, THAT GATORADE LOOKS GOOD!" lmao
i cant think of any one else who practiced as much as mike did (in basketball) he deserves the respect
1:59 that footwork move was personal!
Pure awesomeness!! what a team. Like many of you all i miss those 90's nba season...
Man, these are great uploads. Thanks a bunch.
ahh I remember the INTRO! Just like YESTERDAY!
Simply the greatest player of all time. It's Michael Jordan's game
Good old 90s. Miss it so much.
Your right! I remember that game, like 97 I think. It was on NBC back then, Jordan and Pippen were unreal.
3:55 GOOD SHOT 4:01 ( super slow mo verseion ) DAMN HE BROKE HIS ANKLES & DOUBLE CLUTCHED ON THE SHOT...G.O.A.T.
Vashon Leonard should've known better not to talk smack to mike, mj came back the next game and put up 37 on him!!!!
Great way to continue a discussion right there
This is the reason why I LOVE the 90's NBA Basketball in the 90's was AWESOME! God Bless MJ and God Bless Zo Even though I LOVED the Bulls back when Jordan was on the team, I was SO glad to see Alonzo Mourning FINALLY win an NBA Title with the Heat in 2006 when he had Shaq, D-Wade, Gary Payton, Antoine Walker, Udonis Haslam and James Posey especially after Zo had to go though with the Kidney Transplant 2006 Miami over the Miami Heat with LeBron James & Chris Bosh Jordan, Pippen, and Alonzo all played with Heart unlike some of today's NBA Players and LeBron has NO Class
mj at this age in this league average 40 points a game.
Mj puts on a clinic in this one...he is just toooooo good
GOAT MJ,....God BLESS 👊👊👊👊👊👊❤❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏
his post play! OMG his post play ... thats perfection baby
The fact that you compared James "Flop so Hard" Harden to Penny Hardaway makes me just shake my head. James Harden isn't shit without being gifted 10 free throws a game by dumbass refs and he would get his ass busted in the 90's for falling down every other play pretending he got fouled. It was a different era back then. The fact that Harden averaged more free throws than the G.O.A.T says how wack and pussified this era is today. 10 free throws a game for that fuckin scrub is inexcusable.
Nice videos man. I miss the old NBA times...
MJ my favorite basketball player ever and the greatest of all time!
rodman's block was so epic
I really love watching those games from the 90s not only because it was the best times of the NBA but also because those stupid CG graphics all over the screen never spoiled the picture apart from today's broadcasting.
I miss these days!!!
The play/shot by Jordan from 3:53-3:57 is insane. Totally scrapes Lenard with the change of direction crossover, then hits the double-clutch high-arching jumper over Mourning's outstretched arms. Amazing. Lenard actually hacked the crap out of Jordan back then (this game plus the previous year's playoffs) and got away with a ton of it. He constantly walked under Jordan on his fadeaways and hit his elbows/arms on his shots. You can see it here, how tight he is on many of Jordan's fadeaways.
Anybody know the name of the song used at jumpball? Man, watching these teams brings back so many memories!
I still got this game recorded on VHS lol classic!
Im 25, and can remember exact games from this season, simply because it was Jordan's last.
Oh man !!!!! Sounds like a dream !!!! Must have been great for you !!!!
If the NBA wants better ratings and more fans they should allow much more physicality out of teams, not fights, but more banging and showing true passion for the game and willing to do what you have to do to win the game especially when the playoffs roll around. Let them push and shove, let them get in each others face and push and committ hard fouls (to an extent) I just think it would be better for the NBA.
quality is pretty amazing.
@BobyCasasola87 I want to say it's Kevin Harlan. He's one of the commentators along with Steve Kerr and Clark Kellogg. Phenomenal announcer on NBA 2k12.
Commentators where so better back then, you got pumped up in every play
Scottie is the man.
I think people forget that Michael had to go through actual contenders in the East unlike LeBron

ThatNewPimpTrickGangstaClickAlbum GonnaBeThatFire - exactly. Media is so dishonest today. Lbj may have gotten to the finals 8 times in a row but he was on two superteams with three prime superstars while facing not one competitive team. Not one competitive team in the East. His delusional fans say Jordan never played a gsw while ignoring the fact that's he had a literal free pass to the finals. Jordan had to face countless tough teams to get there. There is simply no comparison. The NBA let Lbj get there without any difficulty with his superteams. It's pathetic. Of course he chokes in the finals - he never has to face tough competition before he gets to the finals so he doesn't know how to compete. Lbj wins a Championship playing one tough series (finals) Jordan wins championships playing 4 tough series - the entire playoffs. No comparison.

Get Off This Rock Travel - definitely. Jordan was number 1 in free throws back then and averaged 7 or so per game. Harden has averaged 11 per game in some seasons. And if you look at Jordan's era, the top free throw shooters except for MJ were all big men - today's soft rules and open paint allows perimeter players to score easily and dominate the ball which is why they shoot so many more free throws today. Back then, the game was much more physical, was much less regulated by restrictive rules and just tougher all around.

That wasn’t this game
That '98 season is fascinating to watch.A lot of people talk about it as MJ's worst season, but I think it was his best.Sure, his FG% and PPG were down and age played a part, but he also had a hand injury and had to shoot more with Pippen out half the season.Also, that was the period when NBA scoring and FG% dropped a ton.The '91 Bulls scored 110 a game on 51% FG, '98 Bulls scored 96 a game on 45% FG.His 28.7 PPG on 47% in '98 is like 30 PPG on 49% in '93.His impact on wins was the same as ever.

That Bulls team just was so confident, they made it look oh so easy.
Jordan was always a great interview. He always said something interesting, not just the same old cliches and bs.
90's era was about speed and athleticism, you are absolutely right, but it was about skill and working hard. I stand by my comment on teams not being fundamentally sound
Kevin Harlan is such a fantastic announcer.
I agree with you dv122. Great observation.
Top to bottom this team is the best to ever wear a NBA uniform!!!
nice upload. thanks.
Idk y i like this vid soo much
jordan, as doc said, is the best post player in the game, probably in the history. he has 9 fadeaway shots made in this game alone, which is insane for a guy his size. if i remember it right he was very hot and has a pretty good shooting %. also funny to see that celebration by kline throws mj off a bit hahaha. i think randy brown did something just like that to him before and he reacts the same. at this stage jordan is very calm and keep his composure well.
I live 10 minutes from the United Center.. God I miss those days :(
3:20 WHAT A SHOT / reminded me of the old super nintendo basketball game.
@jimmychuang - Good call. Still they were a 55 win team while the Pacers were 58. And this was the marquis match-up at that point.
I wonder if you have the video of that first game in miami.
can you believe that mj was around 35 years of age when he did these moves??? wow, craazyyy
Everyone who mentions how Scottie made it easy for Jordan never considers how easy he made it for Scottie. Speaking of people who don't know what they are talking about Pippen was not the ultimate team player, just a good one. He really did not even have more assists than MJ. Pippen's greatness was he was the most dangerous transition player in the league, even more than MJ. He prospered with MJ and Grant/Rodman and stalled with grinding post players. What would Pip do without them?
fade away all day
whats the name of the song playing at the tip off?
This game is a real treat! Everyone firing on all cyclinders expect the defence challenged tim hardaway
Those were the days
Great game!
this is a great game, but kevin harlen is the best at calling games
@gbinct Won more rings, won more mvp awards, won an mvp and defensive man in the same year and has more points.
That's not Marv. That Kevin Harlan. Many people seem to get them confused for some reason. Harlan's broadcasting style is always more amped up.
Bulls vs. Heat 1996 /1997 Legend goats 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Why I haven't seen the game posted when both Jordan and pippen scored 40 something points?
"Up high - down hard" Kevin Harlan is great
Classic TNT programming. So good and crisp. 90's baby yeah!!! (Austin Powers voice)
