And, back then, athletes and celebrities weren't talking about their political affiliations, or trying to tell the population how to think and vote. Entertainment was entertainment, and people went out and simply voted their conscience. There was virtually no one calling anyone racist, at least not on a national level, and more people were content, and happy. Back before social media, when families and friends still had good face time, and watched sports and movies together, and there was no sexual agenda shoved down the throats of anyone. I miss those days. I spent MANY a Sunday watching the NBA on NBC.

I like how the commentator is talking about how MJ "still got his fade away", obviously talking about his drop in athleticism, and then MJ does a nice tomahawk and he just shuts up

Jordan scores in so many different ways in this game, he never really does the same thing twice. Really a good display of his variety with getting points considering the tough defense the Pacers were playing with the double teams.

Yes we've seen teammates scored 40 plus points in the same game, it's only happened about 10 times in NBA history though. What stands out even more to me is the opponent the Bulls accomplished this against, you're talking about a very good Indiana team with an excellent defense, so it's not like MJ & Pip accomplished this against some bottom feeder team in the league, far from it, and that makes this accomplishment all the more impressive. The fact that Worm also grabbed 20 rebounds makes this even more rare, two players with 40 points and another with 20 rebounds in the same game, UNREAL.

The difference between the MJ era and post MJ era is that MJ and before, they played the game correctly against worthy opponents. Post MJ, they all travel and carry on every play and in the case of LeCramps and Wade, it's six or seven steps. Sneezing is a foul and it's all star teams against basically D-League teams.

+Arturo Luna Pippen didn't win any championship without MJ when he retired 1994-1995. Just sayin' Basketball is a team effort. All superstars can't win championships on their own. What made the bulls a dynasty was because of their team play and team effort.

lol, ok because i see so many thinking the Heat could play with the bulls, let me tell you why you are not only wrong, but shouldn't talk basketball anymore. First, Jordan wouldn't have to guard wade (even though he would at times) Harper would be all over Wade. Jordan would guard Chalmers. So the Heat Back court would struggle. Pippen wouldn't guard Lebron, Rodman would. Bosh would be played by Longley and Pip would guard whoever the Heat put on the floor, lets say Beasly for now. The Heat are most successful playing small ball (Lebron at the 4 and Bosh at the 5) that plays right into the Bulls hands as 1-4 are 6'6' to 6'8'. With Rodman on the boards, the Heat won't get many second chance points. With Jordan and Pip playing lesser players, they will help alot and run the floor for fast break points. Now, the coaching staffs, Phil wins that by a margin we can't measure, so lets move on to the benches. Kerr, Kukoc, Buehler, and caffey are all better players, shooters and passers than anyone on Miami's bench except for Allen who at this stage isn't better than Kukoc. So once, LBJ and Wade got tired, and the subs came in vs the Bulls subs, the lead would grow by about 5 3pointers. Playing by either the 90's or today rules, the Bulls would crush them defensively, if you can put a hand on wade and lebron, they can't use their speed (which is how they get so many and ones), and the basic contact in today's game fustrates them now, just think what those old Knick and Piston teams would have done to these Heat minds! In today's rules, the biggest help for the Bulls would be no hand checking, so MJ and Pip could cut through the Heat pretty easily and they would shoot 15 Free throws a game. From there, another help from todays rules is the Zone defense. Put these great one on one defenders in a zone, you may not get a 3 pointer off.So hopefully this clears those funny thoughts of the Heat being better than the Bulls. Mind you, many of the Bulls records have yet to be broken. In a 7 Game series, I would give the Heat one Game on their home floor 4-1.

So there are no made up stories here, the fouls committed in the 80's & early 90's were rough and much harder than today and there wasn't all these stare downs and thuggish reactions like today. Rondo is an unintelligent thug who would be working fries at McDonald's or banging if he wasn't good at basketball. That guy and MANY of the players in the last 10-15 get butt hurt when barely touched or feel the need to stare down their opponent after a great play and then start talking while running backwards behind 4 guys trying to look hard. The NBA is a joke today and is full of little wannabe diva thugs.

Better talent?! Let's look at who they played with. MJ has played with 3 All Stars Pippen, Horace Grant & Rodman. Kobe has played with Shaq (arguably the most dominant C of all time), Karl Malone, Gary Payton, Steve Nash, Eddie Jones, Ron Artest, Nick Van Exel, Isiah Rider, Rodman, Dwight Howard, Pau Gasol, Cedric Ceballos, Glen Rice & that is just All Stars & Hall of Famers. We haven't even mentioned great role players like Fisher, Horry, Vujacic, Fox, Byron Scott, etc... Last year, the Lakers had 5 players who had been All Stars on the starting lineup. Lebron has played with Wade, Bosh, Ray Allen, Juwan Howard, Jerry Stackhouse & Mike Bibby. Not as much as Kobe but more than MJ. People fail to realize that MJ won with a team that had great role players but not as much talent as what Kobe & Lebron have had on one roster. Kobe has been surrounded by ridiculous amounts of talent. 5 All Stars on the starting lineup last year. 4 Hall of famers in the starting lineup with Shaq, Payton, Malone & himself. Shaq was by far the most dominant C in his time during the league. Kobe even had Glen Rice & Isiah Rider coming off the bench. One player who did more with less talent is Allen Iverson as he was the only All Star on his team besides Dikembe who was a defensive specialist.

Kobe had All Stars and Hall of Famers. And they even got swept one year when they had the highest payroll, won the ring the year before and 4 All Stars including Kobe himself. That is a ridiculous amount of talent to have played with. MJ played with Pippen, Rodman, Kukoc, BJ Armstrong when he won rings. That is 2 Hall of Famers & one is a defensive/rebound specialist. Kobe had Glen Rice coming off the bench. Can you imagine a team that has Glen Rice coming off the bench?! That is insane. And to Vujacic's credit, he only got few minutes here and there but he always made threes when they needed it. His role was small but he played big during those times.

Scottie n Michael were unbelievable talents on the court. History will agree that Pippen deserved more accolades.....

This team was just incredibly stacked, and had the greatest player ever.

remember this game like it was yesterday

Dang, the announcer did a great job. The excitement!

This, along with the Lakers night game, are two of my fav 90s bulls regular season games.

Stephen Curry and the warriors wouldn't want these problems.

If we really wanna be serious, if prime Jordan was put against these Warriors with no true center in the paint and perimeter defense consisting of Clay-Curry-Durant, he would seriously average 50ppg.

Yea this GSW would get beat down if they played back then. But then, they'd get better, tougher, stronger, and probably take one of Mike's 6 rings. Not for sure, and only 1

I remember this game, and shows how easily bulls could have won more championships...they were the dynamic duo...

That tip-in by Rodman was so badass.

The only way here in Europe we had to get a signal from NBC was through some late cast =4AM once a week, then all we had was imported VHS at friends home. So those VHS with MJ, Scary33, Rod,Magic, those were revered as the Bible... Now I'm 38 and still go on the playground, and try to teach young players what the Bulls way was, and each time I ear about Kobe, Curry, Lebron... I tell them who the GODS are.

The Heat are a very good team and could give the Bulls trouble because of LBJ & Wade. However, besides having Jordan, Pippen & Kukoc's offense, the 96 Bulls also had the nastiest perimeter defense I have ever seen. When they were cranked up you could hardly get into your offense as they clogged every entry point & passing lane. The Heat are a perimeter team offensively and would play right into Chicago's strength. Additionally, the Bulls had a lot of guys who could switch up and play Wade or LBJ; Jordan, Pippen, Harper & Rodman. As a result they could switch up rotations so much it would hard for Heat players to find their offensive rhythm. Finally don't forget Coach Jackson. Probably the greatest strategist in NBA history. In a 7 game series Bulls would defeat the Heat 4-2.

The Bulls had to face teams like the Pistons & Knicks that liked to play dirty. Pippen and Rodman specially played a little dirty, which the Heat are not accostumed to. It's a whole different game when you can't take aggression and keep focused in the game. Which the Bulls did and won against teams like that. Ask Shaq if he did not lose his mind playing against Rodman.

Skip clueless never gives Scottie his share of the credit! 6 Championships, 2 Gold Medals, had to guard the opponents best player every night, had to guard the NBA's greatest player ever every practice! Talk about trial by fire!

Michael never give up n fight to the end!

Simply beautiful....

There has never been a better combination since!

The difference between great players now and great players back then is that back then, great players cared as much about defense as they did about offense. Jordan was arguably the best offensive and defensive player at many points during his career.

Look at their moves...SO MUCH MORE SKILLFUL THAN players in modern nba. It's a joke...

I remember watching this game on a Sunday afternoon back in February of 1996. Was only a junior in high school then. Hard to believe this game will be 23 years old next month. Seems like yesterday. Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen both took over this game beginning in the 2nd quarter and put on a scoring clinic against the Pacers. By the way, I do like Indiana's older uniforms. They need to go back to them.

Rodman was so fun to watch. He played with so much passion. The dude played his heart out every single game.

The Bulls could of played 3 on 5 this game. One of the best games I've seen Mike and Scottie have.

i think this was MJ's prime. not his peak physical prime of course. but at this stage in his career he just had total control of the game.

This is what the NBA looked like at its peak. NBC televising games, the legendary music, great announcing, passionate players who put their team before themselves, defense, pure competition in all 4 quarters. It's laughable what the NBA has turned into over the last 20+ years. Today's NBA as much as I love the game of basketball doesn't light a candle compared to the 90s and early 2000s. The game changed when Jordan entered the NBA but he changed it for the better, he put an entire shoe brand on the map that was previously known for only being a track and tennis shoe. Jordan lost his first 6 seasons and instead of jumping ship because he couldn't win on his own he stayed, got stronger, made no excuses and eventually went on to 3-peat twice. Guys today quit too easily and want to join super teams, they get drafted and as soon as their rookie deal is up they sign with an already established team because their pursuit for a title would be easier or some of them demand a trade before their rookie deal is even up and guys get to pick and choose where to be traded to. You cannot call yourself an all-time great if you do that. Jordan didn't take games off because of "load management", he played in every game possible because he knew the fans in the stands paid good money to see him, he craved competition and his team counted on him. It's an embarrassment what the NBA has turned into compared to the era Jordan played in. He set the stage and handed the league over and it slowly got worse. Kobe carried the torch well and he was the last of its kind with that "killer" mentality. With the presence and rise of social media and technology players care more about their brand than they do about the actual game itself.

Man those Pacers fans really got their money's worth. Just pure spectacle from one of sports most dominant dynasty's👍

You know what those teams had back then - work ethic. I look at many of players in today's game and there are many pure players, but no real tough teams. Remember those tough gouging elbowy stingy guys who wanted to do whatever it took to win. Even if that meant coming in to just do one job. Chicago had a great team. A great team with great coaching staff. Jordan, Pippen, Harper, Rodman, Longley. Then Kukoc and Kerr off the bench...!! Please these guys with the exception/deception of Longley and Kerr are close to franchise players. Put em under Jackson and Winter and you got rings.... All the squad whenever interviewed always mention how tough there practices were... I miss the work ethic. Look at the teams Chicago had to beat to win rings as well.. Suns. Sonics. Pacers. Knicks. Rockets. Pistons. Trailblazers. Jazz... All great teams. Sad it seems to have gone. .. (Work ethic means working your ass all the way off at practice, studying for the game, studying your opponents, working on areas of weakness, working on working together..)

Pippin is putting on a clinic here.

Clinic! Pip & Jordan combine for 84 pts.plus killer defense,steals,rebounds & assist.

i miss this intro music...

I gotta apologise for bringing LeBron into it, but I can't help but wonder how he (and others today) would have reacted to Smits' foul on Pippen that prevented the slam. That was just a hard foul back then; now it would probably be considered a flagrant-1 at least. I can see LeBron doing his usual flop from the hard contact and then get up acting all furious and wild eyed like he does after physical fouls today. LeBron is clearly the greatest player today, so I'm not gonna waste my time trying to criticise his game, but it still frustrates me how he seems so insulted when he gets fouled hard. Jordan and Pip (among others) were just cool about it; they took the hit, got up with no expression and hit the damn free throws.

Deunta Hicks Pistons tried to hurt Jordan. Remember, they created the Jordan Rules. Nobody created Lebron rules. Sorry, but Jordan had every right to complain. Hard fouls, hacking, illegal defense, knees to thighs, intentional tripping, triple-smash reject fouls, flagrant 3 fouls, mean muffs to the face, elbow smash mouths, Fist to the face decks, no whistle full-speed clothes-line foul, slam Jordan to the ground while in mid-air flagrant 4's. That's just some of what the Bad Boy Pistons did. Jordan was lucky to escape with minor injuries and live to play another game.

I know your comment is 5 years old, but I want to add this. Just last season Damian Lillard was on fire during the playoffs. With the game on the line, Andre Igoudala plays some old school real defense on him. Damian couldn’t, for the life of him, shake and get a good shot off. When I saw that, I thought, Reggie would have got that off, Bird would have got that off, whole lot of others from way back would have gotten that off. Today’s players face the easiest D since the days before dunking.

As a diehard Bulls fan, I could never actually enjoy any of the games. The championships were just a relief. Looking back now, though: wow! These guys were good. Jordan had so much in his arsenal. He just made it look routine; like, why doesn't everybody do that? Hats off to Scottie; he had one helluva game. My goodness. I love the 96-98 Chicago Bulls.

I love watching old full broadcasts with the opening music and credits; really takes me back to 20 years ago.

why discussion abt Miami over here? 72 wins, we can talk abt compare when Miami won 70 games. And Lebron fans please, if Miami play in 90`s rules Lebron won`t be even mentioning in tat time. NBA are soft now.
