1988 Atlanta Hawks @ Chicago Bulls 2/15/88 Dominique Wilkins Michael Jordan Rookie Pippen/Grant

Beautiful As the World Turns and The Guiding Light will not be presented today but we’ll return tomorrow at their regular Times the face that launched the million slabs it belongs to Michael Jordan arguably the most exciting ball player of his generation most valuable player in last Sunday’s NBA Allstar game and reigning King of the impossible it is Air Jordan who supplies the lift for the Chicago

Bulls his name is Dominique and he is unique a player who routinely defies gravity and redefines the limits of his art Wilkins the runner up to Geor in the slam dunk competition there are millions of Highwire moves still to be choreographed and the first place Atlanta Hawks are soaring on wilin

Wings and so today a grudge rematch Dominique Wilkins man of the incredible move and Michael Jordan a legend who’s becoming Larger than Life it’s the NBA on CBS it’s a Monday afternoon a holiday Monday afternoon of basketball on CBS a Central Division battle today the Atlanta Hawks and the Chicago

Bulls good afternoon everybody I’m b list and welcome to the NBA on CBS the fifth meeting this year between these two Central Division Rivals but there’s no question the spotlight today will focus on Dominique and Michael Jordan I am working with Tommy heinson and Tommy given what happened last week I would

Think there some incentive for Dominique to go out and really play well well he came up empty at allstar game time in the slam dunk contest and he really had an outstanding game in that Allstar tilt but he has carried his ball club with 40 plus Point performances ever since that

Allstar game he’s virtually taken his team on his shoulders Michael Jordan has really done the job for his ball Club too in a different kind of way this year than last year he’s more like a decoy on offense creating offense for other players and still scoring an awful lot

Of points you know we’re uh a little more than a week Beyond the mid way point of the Season these two teams played well to that point but they’re not playing well right now I think both of them have to harness the speed both teams are built for Speed and they have

Not been able to Max that out they’re having trouble getting the ball up the court and taking advantage of layups easy basket situations it’s my opinion whoever really capitalizes on their speed the best today wins the game so it’s Atlanta on the road against the Chicago Bulls playing before a sellout

Crowd here at home starting lineups right after this CBS Sports coverage of the National Basketball Association is sponsored by Miller Brewing Company sole sponsor of the US Olympic training centers Gillette Foy shave cream for sensitive skin and by Ford and your Ford dealer have you driven a Ford

Frello has led the Hawks to a 3216 season Mark Chicago Bulls will start Charles Oakley and Brad sers around with along with Michael Brown and Michael Jordan and Rory Sparrow in the back court and the head coaches Doug Collins the officials today Ed Rush on your left and Bill

SAR this is the fifth meeting of the Year between these two Central Division Rivals Michael Jordan comes in 33.1 points per game leads the NBA and how about the Central Division standings Atlanta with a one and a half game Edge over Detroit and Chicago four and a half

Back but every team in the division over 500 T this is the big rough tough division now in NBA basketball the Hawks have been having a rash of injuries and now hoping to overcome it with performances from Dominique Wilkins in particular Brad sellers with no option save foul Dominique Wilkins which he

Does and Wilkins will go to the line off the center table well it looks like they’re ready to get that speed in action right off the get-go on the tip he’s had a knee problem a great deal of this early part of the season but it see it really hasn’t

Seemed to hurt his ability to get up and take it strong to the hoop wa Wilkins who a week ago here finished second in that controversial scoring decision slam D competition and as publicly indicated he wants no part of it anymore he sure got a little

Wrinkles yes he did and I I think he’s going to take it out in the Bulls this afternoon yeah you really expect him to be inspired today I really do because he’s that type of emotional player that he reaches a peak and he can pump himself up to a plateau higher than most

Players can fifth time the two teams have met Chicago won the first two Atlanta won the last two and Atlanta in the stretch of a long series of games they defeated Washington night before last at home that shot off the iron the follow by Livingston no

Good the tip comes down in the hands of Michael Jordan and Chicago has had horrid shooting percentages the last four games The Tick was good for Mike BR by my formidable Center friend Mike Brown why do you say Mike Brown I’d tell you the first time I ever saw Mike Brown

He was so formidable to me that’s all I could think of to say to him was hello Mike Brown here comes some great offensive action Brown just winding his way through creating some space for himself and he’s got such a wide body right now you wouldn’t think that it’d be too

Tough to block him out but he Powers past people CS at the line puts Atlanta back on top now he is a key guy in the match match ups against these two teams Doug Collins has indicated that this is the man that they truly must stop not let go

Wild he’s coming great ball games with penetration and outside shooting Rory Sparrow on the break now they set it up in the half court offense Michael Jordan BS up takes the jumper and hits it I think Jordan’s outside shooting this year has just been terrific Chicago back on top by one

Randy Whitman off the pick got there’s a guy that’s got to get untracked he’s sort of a shooting slump they have not been setting good picks for Whitman to get open got the pick that time from tree Rollins and got the basket to Atlanta back on top opening moments of this holiday

Basketball game on CBS Doc Rivers goes to the steel and it’s knocked out of bounds Doc Rivers against Chicago this year a triple double the last two games out didn’t play in game one that’s the tough stuff boy when he gets into the paint Doc Rivers he creates lots of problems

Jordan second jumper of the game Mike Brown foul in the rebound foul Mike Brown his first 13 foul if he were going to post me up I’d get out of the way well the funny thing just to complete the story that Tommy told about Mike Brown is that uh there

Was a tape made of the game he referred to him Doug cins play to for the Bulls said they fell on the floor laughing when they heard Tom hon say Mike yesterday at practice Mike Brown wanted to hear about it right away here’s Tre Rollins got it rins from Atlanta’s got a

Very aggressive defense they all have quick hands and quick feet Charles Oakley KN to Brad sers where the outside shot is good there’s an ex Center in college who has really tried to learn to play a a much different position a quick forward spot and he’s responding

Isn’t that so typical of so many of these kids who come into the NBA they have to change positions yeah and it takes them a little while to learn that new spot there’s Whitman off The Pick of rivers shots not there Dominique will take it and hope with a rebound Dominique can

Be erratic from the outside but when he gets it going Rory Sparrow shot too strong and here comes Atlanta Doc Rivers ball tipped Away by Mike Brown and Jordan Here Comes Chicago in transition 3on one both teams trying to T it to each other fast break style create some

Openings and that’s going to put a lot of pressure on the middleman of each team to create the good openings for easy baskets Chicago back on top 87 now 907 to go first Quarter tree Rollins with Mike Brown on him trying to for him to that side and he takes it takes the shot for he’s a very underrated player tree Rollins doesn’t get credit for the offense he does score they don’t go to him an awful

Lot but but I tell you he is Mr defense for the Hawks inside Atlanta Back on Top by waren Jordan’s jumper the rebound taken by sers he takes it all way Rollins no go ending Collins wanted it and Whitman will pull up after the pp

Fake and put Atlanta back on top what a great guy to have out on the wing on a fast break team gets into the corner and when the defense sinks in Whitman will kill you out there and he has been as you said in the slump but got to do him

A lot of good to get off for this quick start two in a row does anybody’s heart good 805 to go first quarter of play pick and roll hopefully foul and rotation two as Michael Jordan trying to be a pick and roll a little pass you’re going

To see that decisions who gets the most out of the speed is really dependent upon the middleman how he uses that speed to find the right opening he thinks he sees an opening inside it’s not there that’s a poor decision the Reliance of a a coach on a middleman to

Get the most out of the speed is most important and I think the only real great middleman on either team right now is Spud web and yet he has some deficiencies when he is in the game big ass on offense big liability on defense well Doug Collins said that’s the one thing

His team needs is a really creative middleman well they got speed at all of big men spots forwards power forwards all of them can get up the court and both coaches trying to get that into play as much as possible Atlanta by two 750 to go first Quarter Livingston down on the low post calling for the ball gets Jord talking to him all the way and Jord gets a foul well Jordan is not a physical defender in a low post and Livingston has used to spreading out and Jordan a little upset but he did reach in as levingston turned

Around and try to hit it off the glass levingston is really what a basketball player he is for a fast break coach he is a great Hustler with speed will bang the boards and for a guy his size does an outstanding job in the rebounding part Mike frello looks on from the midcourt

Area giving a little coaching to Bill s already why not absolutely work Leon gets one of two 129 Atlanta on top by three the middleman for the fast break of Chicago is Roy Sparrow and now they’re being forced more and more up to the half court set

Offense Jordan tries to get it inside taken away and here comes Atlanta three on three no Advantage but a great move by Dominique and then how about sers with the block it took a seven footer to block Dominique’s shot here’s a decision Again by rivers on The Fast Break in the

Middle watch Doc Rivers here it comes up the court they don’t spread out to give him another man on the side of the Court he gets it immediately to the player instead of what is the best opportunity but I’d kind of be hesitant not to give

It to Dominique he’s that good on the wing back live Brad sers who had that block Rory Sparrow pulls up and takes the Jay Brown shoving underneath since the All-Star break look at these shooting percentages against Detroit 35% they won at Milwaukee by hitting 45% but they’re blown out

Against Detroit hitting only 38% Chicago does not have if they’re not getting those fast breaks they don’t have an inside game to go to Atlanta probably has a better one in that department Mike Brown hustles out but it’s a one on three and he takes it all the

Way asks for the foul and doesn’t get it he didn’t look too formidable on that one no didn’t look like Mike Brown Jordan jump [Applause] ballico time has been called Atlanta on top by three at 129 630 to go first quarter America’s bestselling compact pickup America’s bestselling full-size

Pickup 11 years running just part of the most successful line of trucks in America and while these trucks are obviously tough guessing who makes them is easy For have you been behind the wheels winning the world over have You I’m State Farm agent Jack Frank I’d like to tell you about one of my car insurance policy holders Paul Messer for 24 years we helped Paul keep his coverages up to date then one day he had an accident then he really found out about the fast Fair claim service we

Promised him great claim service is one of the reasons Paul came to State Farm 24 years ago and it’s a big reason he’s going to Day users of nasal sprays invariably encounter the same problem War voice sprays that roll out of their nose or drip back into their throat to avoid this they’ll do just about anything but now there’s new sinx ultra fine Mist its medicine doesn’t roll out or drip back

It goes up and stays up and that makes it better so try new sinx ultra fine this it goes up and stays up from Vick of course Georgetown Pittsburgh Arizona UCLA Duke Kansas as March Madness near Saturday on the home with the NCAA Championship our score on this Monday

Afternoon 129 Atlanta 6:30 to go first quarter of play last night in the NBA Houston knocked off Portland 115 to 103 behind aim elijuan effort also out on the west coast Denver defeated Utah boy dougm Mo’s team continues to play well 107 to 93 and the Dallas Mavericks defeated the clippers

For the ninth straight time Mark aguire had 25 points and five assists highlights coming up at halftime with Jim Nance back to live action Dominique Wilkins and the tip is back to Randy wh shooting in the first 5 and 1/2 minutes Atlanta four out of 10 from the Field Chicago four of

11 Doc Rivers Jordan way up in the air for the rebound fires to Charles Oakley off balance when he took the shot and is limping a little bit as he goes back down Court rivers to Whitman that’s three get it to the outside shooter and then the defense has

To rush at the outside shooter invariably even though he might be slow he can get by and into the defense for some easy shots Randy Whitman leads all scores with six [Applause] now Oakley and the foul is called on three Rollins foul on wilin starts the fast

Break with the big rebound and what happens is a good quick Outlet pass and up quickly it goes to the open wingman Whitman who now takes the rush of Oakley gets by him and right into the defense and enough balance to get that shot away that’s good fast break

Basketball for Rory Sparrow well you talked about the running game sadale three coming in now for Chicago and Rory Sparrow will get a rest as Doug Collins goes to the bench you think this running game will be the key to the game who’s got the advantage so far Atlanta absolutely Atlanta is really

Capitalizing on the rebounds and the hard push up the court and absolutely Chicago has not been able to convert whatever defensive rebounds they get into hard pushes and that’s why three is in the ball game right now to advance the ball quickly Brad sers guarding [Applause] Dominique shot no good Mike Brown

Rebound trapped in the back court gets it out sellers now Chicago three on three Michael Jordan no way was Doc Rivers going to get up and challenge Michael Jordan on that outside shot he just let him have it yeah you challenge him and he’s bu him

1413 Randy Whitman has the hot hand nowy wh and they’ll keep feeding him until uh proven otherwise now he comes off picks he’s one of the best if they set good picks for him he’s a 20-point a game scorer if he gets enough shots off how

About the pass how about the shot and the chance for three Michael Jordan has become another dimensional ball player he’s finding the people when he’s supposed to find the people last year they used to stand around and watch him his teammates now on the double team

They go to the hoop he finds him with a nice soft pass last year his teammates had difficulty catching his passes and and it really was a leftover from two years ago when the whole offense would stand around and watch Michael do his thing and as a consequence they had

Their hands on their hips most of his teammates now they feel like they’re part of the action Dave Corine comes in and Antoine Carr comes in for Atlanta Kevin Willis also is in the lineup so Corzine is in for Chicago car and Willis in for the Atlanta

Hawks sellers can’t get the free throw so we stay at 1615 a one-point Atlanta lead 410 440 rather in the first quarter and this is Chicago’s version of the Twin Towers Corine and brown in there at the same time Kevin Willis well he’s really been having problems

Coming back from knee injury but the follow shot is Good from CL Livingston was and I’ll tell you he is a multi-skilled player a lot of people think he ought to be playing more time than he is 1815 Corine pattent to Corine shot he doesn’t get down in the super

Low post but when he’s out that range and turns around that’s his shot there Whitman off the pick C Livingston that’s five baskets from Brandy Whitman and are his teammates knocking off the defense with some hard picks Jordan has Whitman on him and they’ll stay that way through much much

Of the first half now Corine that’ss his second in a row he’s not pretty but effective reminds me of a lot of announcers 20 to 19 Kevin Willis and a chance for Chicago to go on top Jordan pushes it up oh boy he blew right by do rers and the shot doesn’t

Go well three got right into the heart of the defense but ended up having to take the shot himself lingon f levingston with a basket if he ever gets that outside shot down where he can make six out of 10 flip Livingston will be an all pro I think he will yep

I don’t know he’s been working on it an awful long time it’s been a while sers out of the double team he’ll shoot at a [Applause] couple time has been called 2219 the score 249 to go Atlanta leading first quarter Chicago you are a new DA Rising now pass the horiz

You are a bright light burning you’re all the getting ready for tomorrow in the Navy of today you are the you are the prise you are tomorrow you are the you are the you are the pro you are tomorrow you are bab to you who will build and shape our

Future you the hopes and dreams and promise of America we invite you to learn the technology of tomorrow in the Navy of today we surprised surprised to turn 40 no I meant the party the Pizza the heartburn mhm you know what they say about anchovies at your age anchovies

Don’t get to be my age do we have any Pepto mhm here comes the soothing relief of Pepto Bismol the one that coats is the only one you need feeling better like a kid again two guards one named Isaiah the other called Magic a matchup made in heaven

Sunday you know Michael Jordan last year was compelled or he felt compelled to really go against double teams all himself and he was pretty successful at it but he would end up forcing a lot of shots now you see as soon as a double team develops he has a total willingness

To find an open man which he did beautifully that time get it inside to a big player who creates a situation where he gets fouled Brad cers and that team now is expecting the pass from Michael Jordan and that’s what’s going to develop into a very cohesive offense and

As a result of what Tom’s talking about Michael Jordan’s assist per gameer up this year 6.6 matter of fact every statistical category he’s shown Improvement this year save one and that’s his scoring which is down as one might expect yep and here’s we’re looking at one guy right now that is

Probably the toughest Little Weapon in in all of NBA basketball I don’t think there was a guard in the NBA that wants to play against this this guy they back off and give him ground and he’s an accelerator he gets up the court puts the real Touch of speed against the

Defense and he blows by people both free throws good 22-21 I think the happiest guy in the league when Mugsy BS came in was Spud left now now he said let Mugsy have all the short man questions dein Willis Randy wh has hit his first five now finally misses his first field

Go of the game that’s not his kind of shot on the move like that Michael Jordan Michael that’s eight points for Jordan and Jordan will pick his spots when he’s one-onone and take his shot wherever it may develop as soon as he’s doubled he’ll get rid of it Chicago back on top

By one Anan car will go and shoot the free throw after the successful basket foul on Mike Brown is second here’s Jordan coming up the court and the defense Whitman really reflecting that he’s afraid of Jordan’s speed backs off and that’s all the room Jordan needs to get the shot

Away Horus Grant has come into the lineup the rookie from Clemson at what point in a player’s first year in the NBA you stop referring to them as a rookie uh not till the very end of the year and maybe not till the end of the playoffs if they make the

Playoffs but rookies have a tough time going past the 35th game of the season because the physical War so used to playing that amount of games in college they run into a wall and that’s what I think has happened to both Pippen and Harris Grant of

Chicago from the outside hands it what a skill player cars inside outside 2725 ball taken away from sale fre Spud Web Randy Whitman andan car again he is having a field day I brought Harris Grant in to try and stop him and stay with him but it’s not working four-point Atlanta lead

And Carr has a quick nine points Off the Bench porine hit from behind anine Carr has got some outstanding abilities he’s got a wide body gets inside posts up but he’s also got a touch of an outside shooter there he is at the elbow of the foul line and nice soft outside shooting touch he’s had a

Weight problem and he’s been not really been consistent and fatel thinks that perhaps he’s going to weigh him when he gets back to Atlanta uh they want him playing on a lot lesser weight than he appears to be right yeah I said he better be at 250 when we weigh him next

Time Scotty piffin in the lineup now and Dominique also back in as Doug Collins looks On and a two-point game again 2927 65 seconds to go first quarter Dominique is back in there to go with Spud Web speed it’s the outsider three-pointer field go tell when he hits that outside shot and he gets his confidence going to see a Skywalker fivepoint Edge again that’s

Been the largest of the first quarter there’s save A3 right by SP back by spuds quick Hands Kevin Willis puts it over Corine rebound andon Carr he’s got 11 points M time rebound by Grant and right on the money by Anton car to pick that up and score for again BR C’s good job of boxing out jump ball nice defensive play now they have not seen Brad cers really

Become as aggressive on the boards in this game the last few he has not here is sadale three little up fake Spud WB reaches in and three with his speed right by the little guy cers gets the jump cers is playing like a man possessed today and the Bulls

Will take the final shot of the quarter shot clock shows nine Left that’s just inside the three-point Edge and now Spud we didn’t at we finished one of four here at Chicago Stadium Atlanta on top by five 3429 and the first period of Play just outside of Chicago Stadium weather a little crisp but inside nice and toasty 34-29 Atlanta leads Vern list along with Tom heinson Chicago Le at 2322 but then Atlanta storm back and has a five-point lead as we enter quarter number two Tommy both teams want to emphasize the fast break let’s Chronicle

How well they’ve done here in the first quarter well Atlanta obviously has been four out of five eight points Chicago one out of three and what I think has really been a problem for Chicago is in their outling of rebounds defensive rebounds that quick pass off the rebound

Getting it into somebody to can advance the ball that’s the second part of their problem no hard pushes three has been able to get it up the court but has not made good decisions dishing it off to an open man let’s check the lineups now three stays in with Oakley Scotty

Pippen Morris Grant and bab Corzine as Jordan gets arrest rebound Kevin Willis and here comes Bud we pushing it up he’s got Wilkins they thought about the alley pass dishes it off left side andon car thisfire and here comes the three back across the timeline Oakley Scotty piffen cutting back to the

Left underneath or Grant Fine pass from Charles had enough on it to get through the defense and allow Grant to make the move on the catch Dominique lens one of six in the first quarter the one is a three-pointer Livingston turn around he may make the all pro team even

Though he can’t shoot from 18 [Applause] ft Three oh fine pass o absolutely a sensational pass back to a three-point game Wi Chicago running fre two on two off balance shot Spud Web the foul watch his quick touch pass and Charles Oakley now Oakley is going to be double teamed down inside and I’ll tell you not only that was that a great pass but it was a fantastic catch by Grant

Because that thing really had some seed on it Mustard Seed it had to use a little of his ear to catch it now Doc Rivers back in the lineup and Dominique Wilkins who is one out of seven one of the concerns of duck Collins at getting

His team to run is also to continuously to get the mental approach to running into players like Oakley and their Center and uh all the other people that play those forward positions here is an outlet pass that’s a key part of the problem how quickly the ball gets Outlet

It now three is up but and into the defense but the Hawks really did Hustle back so gets them both he’s got four points onepoint game Atlanta 3635 is the fastest one of all that their point guards and yet known as a defensive specialist more as a playmaker more than

His point three top of the key yes now D Collins told us yesterday he’s played very well the last couple of weeks he went into a slump and he talked to him about getting back to what made him good at Philadelphia playing defense as soon as he started playing some good

Defense the offense started to come along Doc Rivers loses it Oakley hippen and Grant and Oakley misfired on the attempt to catch the behind the back pass of Scottie Pippen time has been called Bulls lead by [Applause] One with an optional 4 L monster under its Hood Jeep kamanche doesn’t just stand apart it stands alone save up to $1,800 on selected Jeep Vehicles America’s winners get a fully automatic 35mm Kodak camera free when you buy 10 rolls or more of Owens Corning pink fiberglass insulation new tegran medicated shampoo with

Cities and states than any other bank today we are one of the largest banking organizations in the nation offering our customers convenient cash access from coast to coast and serving business and corporate customers throughout the nation and around the world with an array of financial services today America is banking on us First

Interstate Bank along with a good Outlet pass there has to be good good decision making by the middleman as he comes up the court we’re going to see sadale thre now come after a a steal up the middle and right now we’re going to see he has room to

Come and attack this Defender which is really what you should do is attack the defense to create openings for others instead he pulls up and he shoots a rather low percentage shot from way out past the key he happens to make the shot but that’s not what you call putting the

Heat on the defense nevertheless three of six in this quarter now for Chicago little things like that that keep that fast break and tomorrow the other team when you use it good penetration from Doc Rivers that puts Atlanta back on top 3837 rivers with three points now Michael Jordan stays on the banks

For Chicago Scotty pipping and there is a kid it’s going to be a great basketball Scot pipping what a multikill player dribble pass shoot out they be moved by Rivers when rivers gets into the paint that’s his territory Atlanta Back on Top by one Doug Collins talking last night

About his two young men Horus Grant Scotty piffen they’re still learning how to be Pros offensive foul the biggest problem with rookie players is when they play a good game they get too emotionally up here is rivers in the paint coming down on the left side of your screen

Gets into the defense and he has a number two guard back in college really has those type of moves down half 4039 Atlanta 847 to go first half Jordan getting ready to come back into the Chicago lineup Now Kevin Willis got it jump hook Kevin Willis fre joined by piffen

Charles Oakley from the outside Oakley for as many offensive rebounds as he gets can’t get the shot up inside so he’s trying to adjust by taking more outside shots River’s rebound taken down by Oakley there’s the baseball pass it’s fud wed jumps up at 57 and leaps a

Little higher than 65 knocks it down probably the biggest culprit of holding the ball too long on the Chicago Bulls is Charles Ley the outlet pass that time he got it and he immediately on the catch looks up the court and lets one fly could have been on the money but

That wasn’t the pass to make quick he made it and that’s pretty good hling sers can’t hang on that’s going to drive a coach nuts and the man who made the pass nuts again that pass had a lot of speed on it but I tell you C is as

Aggressive in this ball game as I’ve ever seen him Play Willis shot B at five foul on Jordan his second Michael [Applause] [Applause] Jord m not too happy with the uh the foul called on him neither was Doug Collin by one 4241 great defense that time by chel three to cut off that pick and roll play by goes down to help out on Kevin Willis Here Comes Jordan with a rebound for

Chicago sers along the line to p and what a nice move didn’t make the shot but on Kevin Willis is second coming into the game Dominique averaging 29.7 and Jordan at 33.1 Wilkins with six rebounds to five and field goal percentage so far today Wilkins with five points and

Jordan with eight one of seven from the field for Wilkins four of six for Jordan they have not been the story of the game neither once well I think Jordan by Design to make things happen for his teammates and they’ve settled in very nicely to that and I think Atlanta’s

Other people have come along and done an exceptional job of perhaps what they were not doing in the last week getting into the offense themselves Atlanta with Cliff Livingston Wilkins Willis Whitman and rivers right now and Tre Rollins getting ready to come back in John paxt about to make an

Appearance oh nice pass Willis up to the dunk foul is on Scotty that was just a great read by Dominic Wilkins of the double team as soon as they put it on the floor they double team him and he finds the right guy here comes the double team developing as soon as he

Puts it on the floor it’s in the middle double team hits the right man a little up fake Jordan just released and went through his own man and didn’t stock back rivers and that allowed the opening inside the gut from the both Defense John Paxton replaces sadale

Three for Chicago and three gets nice hand p is probably the best point guard an outside shooter at the Bulls half but he’s not a hard pushman and that’s why he doesn’t start anymore I think we’re tied 42 all 655 to go first half Jordan he’s in double figures with 10

He’s confusing the Atlanta defense they don’t know when to D go double him when to play him one-on-one and he’s starting to read it beautifully for those one-on-one situations wman has missed a couple in a row and here comes Jordan for Chicago underneath from Oakley p in out the basket this is just beautiful basketball Jordan under total control finds the wide open man Oakley Oakley as a man comes out at him gets it to the low post man underneath and Pippen beautiful balance move converts and time has been called with

The full P up by four a chance for five performance for some people it’s more than a passion it’s a way of life well for all those people for whom good enough just isn’t good enough there Speed Stick anti first Sprint nothing is wider nothing Glides on drier nothing

Lead the way watch Jordan on Dominique Wilkins down in the low post well I talk about reading the defenses and not taking Force shots and here is a great move by Jordan he’s got Dominique on him a little foot fake and he drops down but Dominic hanging on his shooting hand but

That great move eludes it and then look at that ability to go get the rebound and then put it back up now people may have thought that was a force shot but he’s so used to slicing between double teams that that was practically a layup

For him that outside shot it just was a little bit off but this man is outstanding in and he’s becoming truly one of the great creators of the game in the bird Magic Johnson category and that’s an area of growth for him I guess expected but did you expect him to

Blossom in that category with this team this quickly could have thought he was a gunner but he’s much more than that yeah Whit he suddenly got in the gold hand here Scotty Pippen it’s a three on two Traer is Jordan and Pippen doesn’t see him boy they had a four on three and

Pippen just didn’t get rid of the ball Jordan now has 12 a seven point Chicago lead brookens ends the cold streak for himself Dominique don’t count him out I saw him play against the Celtics one night they lost by something like 25 he was still manto man pressing with 5

Seconds left to go he wants the win Dom interesting the role that Dominique has had to assume that John conak for example is out John Battle is out with hepatitis Atlanta really has been struggling Willis has had injury problems he’s been called upon to really assume the scoring lead he’s got to make

Up for a lot of the ills of this ball Club right now and he’s done it well that’ll make wilin sick Jordan with Patman move underneath wiin yeah rebound [Applause] Chicago Michael Jordan coming right at you folks Randy Whitman no chance to stay with him on the dribble and his

Glide pattern he tries to get intercepted by a Russian Mig but they didn’t shoot him down Scotty Pippen down on the court the 22nd timeout has been called college basketball coming up next Saturday double header for you some of you will see Georgetown against Pittsburgh others Arizona against UCLA

That’s the first game of our twin bill at 2 o’cl eastern time and then Tommy and I will be Lawrence in Lawrence Kansas where Mike shashi’s team comes in to take on Larry Browns Kansas Jayhawks Duke against Kansas the second game of the double header here is Scotty Pippen watch it again

This part of the no layup rule is don’t give a man a layup and tree goes up and he says hey if I’m going to foul I might as well make sure he doesn’t score he takes him down and he kind of got crunched on the knee that’s a good building for

Wrestlemania right look like Hogan and Andre the Giant who is who huh who Mike [Laughter] Brown Scotty Pippen out of Central Arkansas surprise fifth pick in the first round first 10 games a 10-point average the last 25 he’s average 4.2 every category has gone down that’s

That rookie wall you but the the biggest adjustment I think for Pippen is he has played his game a lot like Michael Jordan he’s been a man that’s had the ball and done things with off his dribble with possession of the ball now playing with Jordan I think he’s going

To have to learn to play more without the ball than with the ball well he’s only hitting 58% from the free throw line that’s why the reaction when he made the first and now here comes Atlanta Whitman three on two Dominique nice dish off nice feed and then the

Shot won’t go from Kevin Willis Willis should have crammed that one you couldn’t have W run the three on two better than that John Paxton nice feed inside oh oh what a pass sers and believe that kid used to be a center he’s passing like a guard time

Out celis to the right of your screen now takes it inside the defense a double team coming up he sees the defense moving and all alone is Scotty picking underneath for a cram how to shave a giant avoid big trouble use the Gillette good news plus disposable it’s got the smooth

Strip so the comfortable shave for a giant is this little guy good news plus from Gillette trust your car’s performance to luck and someday it just may bite the hand that doesn’t feed it give your car the good life with with STP gas treatment do you know who the best play

In the game is me Mars Blackman and I’m way Above the Rim demonstrating some serious Hang Time very serious do you know how I get up for my game do you know do you know do you know that’s right Air Jordan Air Jordan Air Jordan Mike what’s

Up oh money money why you want to do that to me why you leave me hanging come on I got it oh mik man that’s cold man there is much to admire about European touring sedans the sophisticated styling their agility and precise handling it is in that spirit

That we offer this car but we’ve added a few unorthodox Notions like real comfort and a 7-year 70,000 Mi protection plan introducing the 1988 Eagle Premiere properly named because Premiere is a first an American car with European sophistication and handling 426 to go before halftime and

At the half Jim man will joining us here’s a preview Jimmy all right burn coming up at the half we’ll check the NBA scores and highlights we’ll also check all the latest sports news and we’ll take a walk down memory lane with one of the NBA graduates from the class

Of 1969 that’s all coming up plus a whole lot more at the half burn Jimmy I like that perch you look like Michael Crawford in Phantom of the Opera give me a note here’s a fast break with a good decision at the end Atlanta comes up with the ball they quickly get

It out one quick pass Whitman now becomes the middleman he’s looking at Paxton and Dominique makes a great pass to Willis who should have made that layup they don’t come much better than that for a fast break opportunity and look at how Chicago’s crawling back three out of six but they’re pushing the

Ball hard at the defense and then before the Atlanta def defense is totally set up they’re finding some openings this eight-point lead is the largest thus far by either team Chicago enjoys it they have Trail by as many as five and trailed at the end of the first quarter

By five do rivers good off balance shot little short P him with a rebound Oakley pulls up with the ball goes back to Scotty Pippen now the half court offense for Chicago Doug Collins Off the Bench hollering instructions we we do a little isolation here no Chicago very small now

Oak playing a center position Jordan Kevin Willis comes down with a rebound Rivers forces it left side to Dominique Wilkins Dominique Wilkins that is his third basket he’s now three of 10 he has nine points I don’t worry about him before the end of this ball game Dominic

Wilkins is going to get his points he is a prolific scorer and so is who G two Michael Jordan yes sir 5648 320 to go before half you know the difference between Michael Jordan and Dominique is they’re both leapers but Jordan probably got a little bit

More finesse at the end of his leap than Dominique does Dominique really overpowers people at the end of his leap with strength Willis continues to miss fire that’s Chicago’s ball let’s watch Michael Jordan put it on the floor and what really sets up his great ability to

Drive is The Fakes and his one step and his dribbling ability and a look at that leap he just knows how to find a blue sky and take advantage of it I’ll tell you he is some kind of thinking player Jordan 8 of 12 from the field now in the

First half sers Scotty Pippen Jordan there’s sers from way outside well he’s not shy about taking that long jumper that is one great part of his game as a quick forward I think he could be one of the all-time greats if he just learned to continually run

And get a little more aggressive on the boards 22 timeout now Mike Patell and the Atlanta Hawks as they Trail by 10 for the first time Dominique Wilkins a week ago Saturday here the disappointment of that all-star weekend but look what he’s done since then well he has more or less

Taken his team on his own shoulders and carried him as each ball player being reinserted into a new role and trying to establish familiarity with that role Dominique says hey get adjusted I’ll take care of business until you really know what you’re doing and he did he’s

Done a great job that’s how competitive this guy is I think he’s a truly great player you know has the reputation deserved or otherwise of being nothing but a score and Mike ftell and talking to you and me last night said hey all he was taught early on in his life was

Shoot shoot shoot and get the rebound on the Miss and he does those extremely well and now he’s becoming a real great team play that kick from Scotty fiven Chicago has really uh gotten on a roll here in the second quarter hitting 70% and Atlanta falling to 40% there’s Wilkins again well Pippen

Ended up defending Wilkins that time and Pippen really got lost on trying to defend him back to an eight-point margin 25 before Halftime s Oakley from the basine Oakley Chris wasburn is in for Atlanta wasburn acquired for the rights to Ken Mar month or so ago a nice pump fake from Randy Whit and then Leon has it tipped cleanly by Scotty Pippen now here’s Pippen how about that the Falls are really coming up with

Some great passes to make that fast break go two terrific passes Ritman counters for Atlanta it’s back to a 10-point margin double team so they go back to paon and post here’s the last Bulls fast break from the rebound quick Outlet pass finds the open man down the sideline Pippen

Takes it into the middle looks into the defense underneath and nice pass to Jordan cutting up the middle by celis now that was really understanding how to take advantage of people coming to the basket off the fast break they’re getting that style down beautifully horrus Grant checks in

Replaces his fellow rookie Scotty Pippen who gave him some quality time here in the first half and threat is back in the lineup Michael Jordan will get a rest before halftime well three was the the guy that originally got the bow started in the running game put the heat on the

Defense and it started to catch fire ever since he put his foot on the gas pedal sers has nine points now and five rebounds and a couple of fine assists tell you I have seen him and he looks like he was a very timid player there in other games it looks like he

Feels like he’s Mike Brown we’re going to have a quintet of Mike Browns 6452 110 to go we’ll go to the line and shoot a couple fouls on John PA his first first team fou haris Grant and Scotty Pippen so far between the two of them 42

Minutes a game 14 points and 8.1 rebounds and when they’re playing that well this team wins and I I think their Destiny will for this season anyway will rely or really be as important only as to how well he contribute game by game if they’re consistent this Bulls team is

Going to be consistent consistent themselves moris Grant rejected by Chris wasburn now Washburn offers great potential rather on the young side had some problems last year Atlanta went out of their way to make a deal because they know he’s a multi-talented player offensively he can do it but because he

Didn’t finish college and in as a hot in case defensively he’s not to the pro standage yet great searching underneath 4 seconds on the shot clock that’s not the shot they wanted but they get it a pxton is a Wy Pro Randy Whitman counters he’s suddenly really going cold foul on

Chicago when little guys get involved in rebound action and they get surrounded they fall down and every once in a while one of those small referees that takes pity on them now you saw that the graphic on the bench scoring there’s where they really miss John Battle who’s

Out with hipo without John Battle instant offense coming off the uh the bench their ball Club has greatly and they have not been able to find anybody else Whitman was struggling and uh uh I think they’ve got to find somebody else that can score with this ball club today

They’re trying to get Whitman even more involved in the offense than perhaps before battle out for quite some time unknown length of time with hepatitis and John conak suffered a serious knee injury the other night in the game in Detroit and he was really starting to

Get the defensive end of the game down much like tree Rollins he was taking up an awful lot of room on the inside of the Hawks defense matter of fact conak had started 22 games this year for Atlanta splitting time with tree Rollins Jordan that’s for three they are humming these Chicago

Bulls they’ve been Tor it in this quarter and they have a 14-point lead now 6955 all it’s a stampede here get out of the [Applause] coral RS no basket the tip came right after the buzzer sounded and a standing o for the Hometown Chicago [Applause] Bulls watch the last play the buzzer sounding right when the tip was made inside it goes there’s zero yep good call that’s the end of the first half

Yesterday it was the Lakers over the Celtics in the form at Los Angeles final regular season meeting between these two giants here’s what happened in the 80s the Lakers and Celtics have met three times in the NBA finals the question is will they meet again the Lakers magic

Show continued in the first meeting this season with this shot at the buzzer yesterday it was more of the same for the Lakers fast break machine we’re playing a little bit better than we are right now I thought that the last time we met we were

Struggling a little bit but uh I knew after that game both teams would start playing better and uh as of right now they’re probably the best team in basketball they play well together they had a great bench and uh they’re playing great basketball right now and uh you

Know hopefully things will change by the time playoffs roll around the emergence of Byron Scott proved to be too much as he exploded for a career-high 38 points it’s made me more cocky more aggressive knowing that when I’m out there at any given time I can just start you know

Dropping them from anywhere we didn’t do a great job on him period to start with and then he got hot the key for the Celtics Championship hopes is their front line we don’t have guys that go out and bang and push we have guys that

Try to play a finesse game we’re not as physical as we used to be so I think it’s it’s part our chances they have enough talent and enough experience to be able to get over the top the critical factor for them is to have the home court advantage and the Lakers of course

Television Jim Nance back at Chicago Stadium the sight of last week’s NBA Allstar game perhaps the most special moment in that contest occurred when Kareem Abdul Jabar became the all-time scoring leader in Allstar history at age 40 Kareem’s endurance is just one testimony to his greatness you know he

Was the valedictorian of his draft class back in 1969 but today we feature the man who was picked right after Kareem a man who is trying to take Giant Steps of his own coming out of UCLA everyone knew Lou Alcindor would be an instant franchise player for one lucky team it came down

To Milwaukee and Phoenix in a coin flip Phoenix I call ahead the coin has come up Pale having lost the grand prize of the draft the sun settled for 610 Center Neil walk from Florida I’m not 7 foot one in change or two like Kareem nor could I run as fast or jump as high and so a lot of people you know thought here

That I was the booby prize you I played sick I played hurt I’m proud of that you know I know that I don’t think that’s anything being a booby prize you I gave them a good 450 show Neil walk played Five Seasons here for the Phoenix Suns he went to finish

His career with the Jazz and the Knicks nowadays he’s the one seeking one of life’s grand prizes simply put he’s trying to live up to his name you see Neil walk is trying to learn how to walk once again one night I was coming out of

A play as a matter of fact on Broadway was chus line and I was going over to Sardis and I noticed my right leg was hyperextending severely it was very painful and it was dragging behind me and I remember that night specifically as the and then I said I got to really

Start checking into this 4 years later the Native Son returned to Phoenix and found out his condition was indeed quite serious he was facing a gradual paralysis that was occurring had been occurring over four years due to a tumor in the upper thoracic spinal cord there

Was no choice really I’m I’m not fond no one’s fond of operations and so forth especially with someone you don’t even know I asked Dr White if he was any good and he looked me Square in the eye and said I’m the best removing the tumor

From from the spinal cord area left him partially paralyzed from the waist down the cord was not severed in surgery thus there is hope he can stand on his own I have the opportunity to walk again I don’t have to give up the hope I don’t

Think I’ll be doing any 360° dunks I never did anyway but I think a little tennis and some swimming and a a walk in the park would be just fine in addition to his Rehabilitation walk spends time trying to educate the public on the needs of the Handicapped there’s changes that have to be made we need to help one another and and try to support those less fortunate that those that are uh rolling instead of walking surely this will be the toughest training camp I will have ever attended certainly the longest one and probably the toughest

But I think that uh it’ll all come out all right and if just a little bit of change comes about that’ll be great Too you know after spending time with Neil walk on this story with his determination I feel certain one day he will stand tall on his own once again thanks for watching the credential at the half we’ve got third quarter action coming up we’ll rejoin Vern and Tommy after these messages the credential at

Best Chicago Bulls exploded for 40 points in quarter number two and they have a 14-point lead at the half over the Atlanta ha Hawks in his fifth meeting between the two teams this year 6955 and Tommy Chicago wanted to have an uptempo game they got it in that second

Quarter Doug Collins really wants to have his team run as much as possible and they’re really producing the Run game for him in superb fashion I think what has to be done right now by Atlanta is forget about their own Run game and emphasize perhaps what they have a

Little bit more of and a better style of play in the inside game so I think Atlanta will tra probably try and change the tempo of the game in the second half just to emphasize how Chicago got that running game going look at the advantage they had on the boards 2816 Charles

Oakley had seven and they also had some big help Off the Bench well Pippen came off the bench and so did harrus Grant and really do some good effect on the wings and good hands to catch some of those passes three did an outstanding job pushing the ball up the court to

Really get that run game going and the two stars how have they done in the first half Dominique Wilkins with 11 points and Michael Jordan with 18 field goals uh nine of 13 for Jordan four of 11 for Wilkins but I I go back to what you said never forget the

Dominique is in the game well Dominique has been settling too much for the outside shot right now and not really getting into into his good scoring range his comfort area which is about 15 ft and I think they’ll probably work on that at the half and say Dominique get

In a little bit closer come off the picks and then take it to the hoop if you can so Atlanta goes into quarter number three trailing by 14 points I’m thinking back to Doug Collins who has been exasperated by the lack of offense from his team they got a shot to

Break 80 today you know the object of a fast break team is to take over a 100 shots a ball game and uh right now I think what you’re talking about is good shooting today because they’re getting a lot of easy baskets but their shot attempts are way up near the 50

Mark Brad sers gets the ball for Michael Jordan as we begin quarter number three soale fre opens with Corzine and Oakley for Chicago loose ball taken by sers put back is good well that was keeping active on the board never give up a rebound until somebody’s got sure possession of it and the Atlanta lineup will have rivers and Whitman at the guards come along with Dominique tree Rollins and Cliff lingon so the starting

Five is on the court for Atlanta [Applause] 7155 lington has the shot B it looks like that’s exactly what they’re going to do coming out of the locker room emphasize the inside game take only layups on the fence break if they’re there and that’s how Atlanta could get back into this

Game turn around jumper is short Rivers comes down for Atlanta levingston turn around over open rebound Corine at Chicago Street looking at the defense the Hawks really hustling back I mean they’re not getting beaten by getting out hustle getting back but they’re leaving gaps like that at Corine just slid inside and before anybody could get

Down to help it’s two will fade away for Dave Corine who now has 10 points 7357 1025 to go third quarter and then the shot doesn’t go for wilin well that was hot off the glass but he took a blow Jordan two what a creative move that time by Jordan

Made the whole Atlanta defense react found the open man and a quick Mike frell timeout 7557 a lead of 18 sooner or later keeping the old car running just isn’t worth it not when Chrysler pouth and Dodge dealers are offering up to $1,000 cash back on select Imports and savings of hundreds

You’re not yes I am no you’re not yes I am no you’re not yes I am yes I am I don’t know that Michael Jordan and Dominique remember when that was a hit but you and I do and how have they done so far Wilkins and Jordan 11 points to 18 rebounds

Haven’t changed much in the Dominique 4 of 12 field I have not been able to get Dominique down low because celis is a seven-footer and he’s very quick and really can give Dominique trouble [Applause] inside do rivers drives the lane and pays the price but we shoot a couple

Coming up Saturday NCAA double header for you Georgetown against Pittsburgh Georgetown had a terrific win Saturday against Syracuse and then some of you will see Arizona against UCLA the second game Duke at Kansas how about Danny Ferry and his passing ability did he something he is a

Heads up player and so is uh that other kid Danny Manny yes right now this is the guy that’s really got to come to the FL to get in the paint create something he has been a real thorn in the bull side in previous games has not done that much today

Jordan thought about a one-on four and then decided Well even I couldn’t do that came back and set it up Corine as he does he like that oh that’s a shock that he missed it well you couldn’t ask for a better shot attempt and think Corine got there was

Nobody within 15t of him you’re going to see a pick and roll play the whole defense reacts to the penetration Corzine spotted up as nothing but blue sky with out a cloud in the area and missed and that’s what he hit clouds that’s good they’re going to bring Rivers off a

Lot of picks now trying to get him into the defense and let him over power three 18-point lead down to 14 really has gone to that outside shot now Lucy goosey offense and Oakley because he has traveles scoring inside he just can’t get up above the def Ender

Down there he’s using that outside shot more and more [Applause] Jordan Doc Rivers is second team’s first and doubt grab hold or when there is no doubt Y and here’s a great play coming up it goes swings and Oakley off the pick and roll just pulls up now they’ve

Given Oakley the green light to take the shots when he thinks he’s got him Tre Rollins and Corine batt for the rebound Rollins hit it last it’ll be Chicago’s to inbound tree didn’t like it and quietly let them know got the goods there for a Tree MERS got away with a little push but then lost the ball I’m surprised Atlanta isn’t getting up and really pressing playing harassing defense to try and change the tempo come up with a steel or two and get a couple of easy baskets themselves but they’re slowing a Tempo

Down now trying to find a hot hand on this five on the court right now Randy wh hit his first five of the ball game but he’s suddenly gone into the ice box he he got a great shot off that time he was wide open we’re live at

Chicago stadium in Chicago a sellout crowd on hand for this special presidential holiday NBA game on CBS Chicago leading by 16 they led by 14 at the half three Rollins with a rebound loose foul Dave loose ball foul on Dave Corine thus far in the ball game the

Bench scoring big Edge to Chicago 3613 Jordan has 18 points and six rebounds and Chicago which has been shooting poorly since the All-Star break hitting at 57% for the game now they have dominate in a low post against the seven footer and I think uh I thought cers

Perhaps might give him a tougher go down there but cers played passive defense that time that might be the place to start to get Atlanta back in [Applause] it bullet like pass the nail three Kevin Willis in the line up for Atlanta and the Hawks force it Rivers out the b

What a shot by rivers that time here’s Wilkins in the low post now Stella’s a seven-footer who’s got great leaping ability and Wilkins got position a right over the box and with his jumping is able to get over the top of sellas who doesn’t release from the floor at

All that last basket by Doc Rivers Narrows the margin to 12 7765 time out Dougs in Chicago wees off and Mike forell huddled with his troops on the other side D Collins in the Chicago Bull 7765 since the allstar break look at these scores for Chicago 74 points 84

Points 95 and 73 they’ve yet to see 100 that’s not exactly what you call Fast Break basketball on maximizing speed and they really been looking to Michael Jordan to supply the punch the energy from the allstar game and I think he was a little tied out after that

Weekend and today they already have posted 77 helped in no small measure by that 40p point out burst in quarter number two but the lead now shaved at 12 after it was at 18 and Doug Collins said let’s talk it over you know one of the

Great things about speed is if you bring it to play consistently over the entire 48 minutes of a ball game the big guys of the other team start to Fall by the wayside and you start to crack it even if you’re even Steven for the entire

Ball game you can virtually count on the big guys of the other team breaking down and ending up with some easy baskets coming down the stretch don’t forget at the conclusion of the game Tommy Hinson and I will select the Miller Light player of the game in conjunction with the award

Lightbeer will present a check in the amount of $5,000 in the player’s name to the thir Good Marshall black education fund that’s coming up a little later right now 738 to go in the third quarter and Doc Rivers will be at the free throw line trying to make it a

Three-point play and I’ll tell you Atlanta right now has changed the tempo of this game just the way they want it they’re playing half caught if they’ve got a good fast break opportunity that rivers in essence took advantage of the last time taking it strong for the hoop

They’re going to take it and I think Chicago right now is falling right into the Trap they’re willing to go along with this Tempo and now the momentum could swing very easily to Atlanta right Now here’s the Press defense by in order to avoid that trap you talk about what must Chicago do you really got to push it up the court and still fast break go for the easy basket Oakley and Oakley gets for today at least a rare close in basket well nobody went really and

Rotated to the open man on that pressing defense of the Hawks back to a 13-point mar from 13 go Jord for yeah Wilkins did not get a good spot that time in a low post long rebound comes down in the hands of tree Rollins whoa Oakley can’t hang on it be Atlanta’s [Applause]

Ball here’s the Bulls offense against the Atlanta 221 Zone press in the middle and now Jordan says Oakley on the the Baseline nobody was down on as the onean protecting Tre Rollins made a big mistake saw Rollins try to cheat out and the minute he did the pass was fired

Underneath there’s Jordan with another rebound three on two results in two and a chance for three was that beautiful by Jordan there four guys coming up and Jordan had them all spotted and then started to read the defense now you watch him after the rebound say in the wing he just took a

Look to see Oakley in the wing and all of a sudden he spots sedal three coming in from the left side now that’s reading the defense and making it commit to where you want it to commit you wouldn’t want Michael Jordan forever having to play the middleman position either that just crossed my

Mind well I mean what else would you want him to do exactly somebody else has got to do stuff like that 8266 back to 16 after that freef run by Atlanta Rollins and Corine shutting off each other and Rollins gets through that was two beams bumping [Applause]

Horns Jordan goes to the line oh you advance the ball quickly like the Bulls just did that time even though you don’t have a fast break opportunity the other team’s defense doesn’t get totally set up and Jordan’s just smart enough to take advantages of any mismatch situations or any cracks or lack of

Concentration by the Hawks and that’s how he gets into the defense before they totally get set up you know what makes him such a great player everything I think starts with his ability to dribble the ball fely as he does now that’s an interesting point because one doesn’t think of him as a

Great dribbl he puts it out there and he’s almost like a snake cha you know with a flute and a snake a cobra there he gets people taunted and looking at the ball and he’s got a great first step if you make just a least little move to

The hoop Dominique has it back in his [Applause] face Dominique when he puts it on the floor he’s more of a one dribble Drive guy he doesn’t doesn’t go usually more than one dribble here it goes and immediately he turns around good up fake forces the shot a

Little bit got fouled but I mean once he was up there there was no other alternative except throw it in the balcony fouls on cellers and both free throws good for Dominique he’s just not getting close enough to the hoop the Bulls have angled him out cers has done

A very creditable job playing defense against him 15 points for Rooks now 14-point Edge [Applause] sers fou by living or an car rather on car his secondth fou that’s the second on car fourth team foul that’s one of the things they are very concerned about Antoine Carr they think he doesn’t play smart defense he gets into Quick foul trouble as soon as he

Gets inserted into the ball game he gets too aggressive too quickly tell was saying the other night he got two and before they can even get somebody over to the scoring bench he had his third Y and I think he’s the type of guy right

Now they need to have in that low post because he can score down there this guy is at some kind of offensive game and some kind of defensive game that shot doesn’t fall so the lead stays at 15 538 to go third quarter boy well getting into wall time Jordan that’s his 10th

Rebound talk about decisions will you they may leave him at point guard the whole time Oakley well at the end it wasn’t pretty but it sure was effective and they’re all laughing they see him com up the CAU that’s devastating to a team trying to make a slow

Comeback a 22 timeout Atlanta and a 19point lead here you’re going to see a great block tree was out around the foul line no chance to make that shot a Jordan up with the rebound and off he goes and you see him get right into the middle of the defense look the defense

Off knew he had two men on the wing made the right selection of the right guy look get at it from another angle on the next bangle basket coming up on the turnover just a little pup ball handling by Doc Rivers and celis couldn’t hang on to it and Dominique intimidating cers

Right there but the seven footer makes it happen now you want to see the smile watch that’s a low 10 and a high five yeah that’ll do it and then the grid Brad sellers with 15 points and a 19point lead after 22 time time out from Atlanta we’re back to play

R Jordan saves it Oakley has it and here comes Chicago running again it was three not [Applause] Jordan Michael down in the low post sers aggressive after the rebound Doc Rivers Rivers wants the jump ball didn’t get the call unbelievable that time Charles Oakley would have had to take two guys

And put him in the basket with the ball they were hanging on to him so hard Oakley is really one of the great offensive rebounders it’s a shame that he doesn’t have that great leaping ability that some of these other Chicago Bulls have because he’d scored 20 points alone off the offensive

Glass Washburn has to come in now because tree Rollins has picked up his fifth foul watch this as Oakley on the inside just carving out some room for himself can leap for the rebound and there he is surrounded by red jerseys and red arms I’m not so sure that Doc

Rivers didn’t have a case to plead about that jump ball somebody else had him though from behind 20-point Edge Wilkins with the rebound 90 to 70 425 to go third quarter Spud Web is in Spud right now is going to try and penetrate I think a little

Bit Randy Whitman has hit only one of his last six Wilkins that shot altered by Corine and here comes Michael oh and again sellers with problems hanging on to it that would have been dynamic [Applause] well let’s slow it down why not Wilkins with a foul foul do there’s

Dominique who had his shot altered by Corzine and now Michael Jordan once again the rebound and the hard push and look at those Bulls runs and underneath all alone was celis but just couldn’t hold on to it that was an excellent decision by Michael Jordan picked the

Right man open read the Total Defense knew where the opening was going to be where the what we call the numerical Advantage was that’s the type of stuff that makes fast break sink Dominique wiin with his third foul sadale three HS down John Paxton comes in and again a

Quality game for sad three and if nothing else that sad really did for this ball Club was get fast feet into the game and get the forwards Running sers gets them both the lead is now at 22 927 335 to go third [Applause] quarter that was Jordan and that was Wilkins a Wilkins feels compelled right now to try and get him back into the ball game not having one of his better shooting

Games and the double teams by the Bulls may not take the ball out of his hands he may just try and fight the double teams Chris wasburn shot clock went off I don’t think wasburn was aware how far down it had been Atlanta of course currently lead ing the Central Division but Detroit

Coming on Detroit has beaten both of these teams in the last week Oakley Oakley has learned to make the take the shot off the catch better this year that’s really helped his inside game and Spud Webb comes down at the other end you’re going to see the ball go

Inside to Oakley and on the catch he makes the turn and he’s does that quicker now and therefore he’s get getting shots off easier inside webs basket good time Out your life is changing and State Farm is there I’m State Farm agent Jim McConnell Terry sailor’s life insurance started out pretty simple then there were three children two new mortgages a big job promotion for Terry and for Mrs sailor Life Plan of seven updates in just 6 years State FM

Detroit Chicago 4 and a half back at 28 and 21 but Indiana Milwaukee and Cleveland’s still in the thick of this thing this is really going to be a fascinating division to watch as things progress on I I think this division is quite obvious has really got the medal

In it and uh when you stop playing with friction usually the teams get polished off to a high pitch and come into the playoffs sometime better prepared to meet stiffer competition than the teams that play in the Lesser talented div division so all this stuff half a game

Away and two games away it may not be very uh delightful by some of the participants in this division but it’s going to help them in the playoffs Chicago of course in the second year under Doug Collins and they have improved over this same point a year ago

By about three wins in the in the in the wind column you there’s still a couple of players away but they have improved as a quality team I I tell you I think Doug Collins has done a super job here this team in my estimation is one year ahead of where they should

Be after 49 games last year 25 and 24 now 28 and 21 and they’ve lost three of their last four and Spud Webb gets the basket to complete the three-point play so 9473 now Atlanta of course had Pell as the coach of the All-Star Game and they’ve

Uh had some problems this last week There’s Jordan two picks allowed him to sneak into the defense under total control that time put it off the glass I mean he is under control all the time Jordan has 22 points waser he gets a couple they’re going to need him with

Contact being out of the lineup Spud Web got or John Paxton got poked in the eye by inadvertently two picks by set up for Jordan he’s on the left top of your screen there as Corzine sets one and C sets another one and now he’s into the defense and Whitman had gotten beaten

Spad Webb never got to him sh hand wide open Easy Shot off the glass then on the inbalance play John Paxton got poked in the eye inadvertently by SL web Jordan with 22 now Wilkins has 15 you know Paxton’s dad used to be a great player with the Cincinnati Royals

When I was a player got two of his kids in the NBA next something y y Father Jim went to Dayton Corzine still in the lineup now has played most of the second half here’s Jordan again he’s got 24 points no way is Spud Web going to stay with Michael Jordan [Applause] No do R tries the left-handed shot Livingston with a rebound the P back shot is not good Oakley with another rebound baseball ball pass to [Applause] sellers Spud Web trying to contend with there’s Webb with a rebound look at that quickness though isn’t that great speed isn’t that fun I

Want to tell you if they can get him in the open court the re the ball off the rebound the outlet pass picking up the Spud Web he makes big guys twirl 9877 and for the first time in a little more than a week Chicago has reached 100

You saw the good of Cl web he also saw the bad right Willis to 79 final minute third quarter spread web having to guard Michael Jordan in a low post but Michael’s great leaping ability I mean it’s an automatic two this crowd responding to what they’re watching with that matchup B on

Web look at Michael Jordan in the low post against Spud Web a hand out that’s where he wants to pass but Webb can’t even see around him and now it’s in and up there’s no chance whatsoever so you got a big asset when he handles the ball and Spud WB but a

Big liability when he gets posted up in a low post enus Watley who just been signed because of John battle’s illness is in the lineup for Atlanta Charles Oakley is out now for Chicago with 10 rebounds and Jordan can’t get the basket throw the ball foris Grant comes back in now

Replacing Charles Oakley you know Harris Grant didn’t play an awful lot but he really got into the offense and got his hands going in his rebounds and that first half and was pretty good in the uh really helping establish the lead for the balls there’s a headline Jordan misses both free throws Enis

Watman Willis with the turn around there’s Wford Rivers goes to the line see it’s on thir Corine Dave Corine before each ball game they try to rev him up I saw him skipping rope for about 20 minutes trying to get his body every game he does that just trying to get himself rejuvenated or into sync before the game even starts before they even come in for regular

Warm-ups I used to sleep before the game the strength coach of the Chicago Bulls is Al ver that’s a familiar last name his brother dick former coach of the Eagles and of course my colleague on the NFL telecast last call and Al tries to get he says he uses that technique

With the jump rope to get the nervous system going give it a shock and get him in gear on Watley first Watley is a guy that they just got from the CBA to take the place of B who has the hepatitis problem Wadley did play here in Chicago

And a lot of people thinking you know should be in the NBA got some good skills and but now he’s going to have to come up and with the challenge of stopping this man right there old number 23 who now has 27 points along with six rebounds and 11 assists and 11

Assists are really the most interesting part because that’s the part of his game that’s most improved I just misspoke it’s eight assists eight assists y Chicago 102 that’s the end of the third quarter with our score Chicago 102 Atlanta 81 will return to the stadium after this message

Rimo hit by cor The Bu the game’s over Cavaliers wi NBA action 20,000 [Applause] it’s back before a full house at Chicago Stadium uh in Chicago Illinois where the Bulls for the first time in four five games have succeeded 100 points and they do so in three quarters and you want to

See a rejected shot watch Michael Jordan against Enis Watley well he’s got that great leaping ability but what he does so well he’s not just an offensive player but his defense is exceptional and he got upset that he wasn’t named to the all defensive team either first or

Second team and he’s out to prove that he’s a good defensive player like most North Carolina University players are when they come into the pro I saw a note in one of the local papers today that Jordan has blocked more shots this year than 16 NBA

Centers and he’s got some good number of steals to go along with the flocks here’s John Paxton now joining Scotty Pippen sellers Corine and horis Grant very young team on the lineup except for Corzine now for Chicago wasur dishes off to Wilkins takes it all the way he’ll shoot a

Couple what it’s been nothing soft in Dominique shooting today everything has gone up very hot off the glass he usually shoots the ball a little bit softer than he’s been shooting it today Scott Hastings has coming into the lineup now former Arkansas Player Wilkins is five of 17 in the field today says and he’s taken some decent shots but not Dominique Wilkins type of shots when he gets going to the glass he usually softens it up and can score and he hasn’t had enough opportunities going to the hoop delay of game warning

Atlanta against Atlanta that is the second delay of game call I didn’t hear the first one and that results in a technical one of the favorite tricks to stop fast break teams as soon as a basket is made let’s take a look and see what happens is that the ball is knocked

Out of bounds by Atlanta Scotty Hastings just yeah wouldn’t give it to the referee but one of the favorite ways of stopping fast bre teams as soon as the ball goes through the basket is for you to knock the ball away so that the other team

Can’t can’t get it quickly to inbound it and get up the court the Lakers do that very nicely do they now oh they cheat a little bit do they now yeah because they know that that’s they see it a lot because of their fast break style now

You’re back in the headlines in Los oh well you know I think the Hawks right now in order to really get their act together have got to get Willis more incorporated into their offense bring him back to where he was last season did an outstanding job at the power forward

Spot and also I think they’ got to really bring wash bur along and now that conact may be out for the season yeah tactically they’ve got a a tough stretch now with battle out cona out Willis still hampered a little bit do as a coach do you try and just maintain now

This is the most difficult job for a coach is now you have great expectations youve reached a certain plateau and the players that brought you there aren’t with you any longer and other players have to assume different roles and it’s very difficult you know just because

You’re the eighth man on the team that doesn’t mean you’re going to play well as the fifth man on the ball car right now 10486 ball game 1015 Romani Dominique puts the pump fake on sers gets him to leave his feet and then puts it in they didn’t double team him that

Time that was a good play by Dominique that’s 20 now for Wilkins and a 10488 score anybody that’s got a big guy likes to put a big guy on on on Dominique take away the outside shot for him the drive and angle him off

And C the ideal guy to play him he’s got size and quickness now when he gets down in a low post like we’re going to see right now right over the Box there’s not much you can do with him puts it on the floor gets a half a good position up fake cers

Goes for the second one held his ground pretty nicely but not long enough for Dominique Teamwork Makes winners 949 remaining in the ball game Chicago propelled by a 40-point Outburst in quarter number two has extended that lead now 10488 bur lanquist along with Tom Hinson here on a presidential holiday special

Broadcast of the NBA on CBS Bulls leading at 10488 and let’s check now they’ve got Michael Jordan John pton moris Grant Oakley and Scotty Pippen on the court right now no Center so Oakley more than likely will be there pivot Man play uh Kevin Willis Atlanta has enus Watley Scott

Hastings Dominique Wilkins and Willis Morris Grant with a Rebound action nice move [Applause] guess who comes up with the rebound is 13 me give me third third third rebound yeah no it’s 12 I’m looking at the hand signals over here and I’m totally misleading yeah I mean he got more than three been def knew crazy Michael Jord

But I got a nudge in the side that said I was wrong 10 he’s your friend not for long 855 to go Willis Willis is he in control the defense back below the pick read it perfectly pulls up shoots the J it’s done it’s over copy break 30 for Jordan Nowley gets enus watley’s going to be very important in their scheme of things coming down the stretch get him from the CBA this is a Shakedown Cruise right now they’re going to see how they can try and play him put him on Michael Jordan that time he swatted the ball away from

Jordan want assume he can play defense and also if he can run that ball that’s a three for pxt Scott Hasting Dominique WI back to [Applause] Watley and the foul on John pxt coming up Saturday NCAA basketball on CBS 2:00 Eastern Time first of our double header Georgetown against Pittsburgh some of you will watch Arizona against UCLA and then the second game will feature Mike shashy’s Duke team coming in against Larry Browns Kansas J Hawks who have

Been decimated by injuries this year and uh other ineligibilities and F car back in the line like Kansas team Danny Manning is such a great player and when you’re really having problems with a Supporting Cast you can concentrate on keeping down a great player and uh you can stick two

Three guys on him and and minimize how great he is but he’s really truly a great player people are enough be guided by the fact that he’s having problems this year it’s his team is having problems there’s Oak a little too strong Chicago and that ball will go back to

Chicago Tommy do you uh you still feel like Manning is uh the number one pick next year he’s a multi-skilled player but he’s not he doesn’t play Big he he plays like uh like a a quick forward or a or a point guard at times so he’s not

Going to be a franchise player time has been called 728 remaining so out Anything You Can Do I Can Do I can do anything better than you no you can’t yes I can no you can’t yes I can no you can’t yes I can yes I can anything you

Can be I can be greater sooner or later I’m greater than you no you’re not yes I am no you’re not yes I am no you’re not yes I am yes I am as for today Dominique Wilkins with 22 Michael Jordan with 30 rebounds a 124

Edge for Jordan and he’s at 13 of 22 from the field to wilin 7 of 20 well Dominique has not really taken charge as he’s done all week long with his Atlanta team he’s still has scored but it hasn’t been a Wilkins game there’s Paxton off the dribble the shot too strong Here

Comes Dominique on the Run no offensive foul called a no call and the crowd didn’t like it now Oakley picks up this foul third fourth braders back for John PA Brad s’s back in the lineup now and John Paxton will go to the bench it’s going to put

Uh Pippen in a back courau that’ll be interesting m point guard will be Michael Jordan and Pi will be the off guard different kind of look small but big in the back CAU can Pippen be a guard we’ll find out at least for seven minutes I think he

Can because he plays like Michael Jordan got a good dribble the feed the sellers pipp with the follow oh great body control and of course when you put a guy at his size at the guard spot he immediately takes him to the glass and right to the hoop he’ll go for

The offensive rebounds there he is inside the defense and rivers nowhere near in sight to block him out and it’s up and in one of the forwards of Atlanta had to reach in and try and stop him from the shot that’s 11 points off the bench for Scotty Pippen five rebounds make it

12 under the 7-minute mark now 11195 now here’s the real challenge to Pitman can he he stay with a guard defensively he’s on enus Watley that’s what uh Kentucky Collins wants to see Kevin Willis Jordan knocks it out of bounds no it’ll be Chicago’s [Applause] ball Elsewhere on President’s Day

Milwaukee over Chicago or Washington rather 111 105 in the fourth and Cleveland leads Sacramento at the half 50 to 48 how about Mark Price this year for Cleveland well he’s done a great job coming to his own you know he had some injuries the Cleveland ball Club has got all that

You their injuries really hurt their development you got to all that enthusiasm you got to put it all together with some wins and the injuries hurt them so that they didn’t produce the winds but they’re starting to get it together now nice spin move by Dominique Wilkins

11397 605 five will go in the ball game one of these teams is going to in this division is going to try and out blast the Celtics they’re coming down the stretch trying to beat Boston’s overall record in the conference to have the home court advantage of course Atlanta had an edge

Over the Celtics they now Trail two and a half by two and a half games and it’ll be three after the day but Boston is out on the west coast right now and playing the iron on the west coast and if they come back at a 500 mark it could be an

Even Steven situation if Atlanta can hold serve in their own conference I mean their own division excuse me with another rebound but he’s on the line here are the Atlantic division standings Boston 34 and 15 Philadelphia Washington New York and New Jersey kind of also rans and that division so 3415

Is the important record that’s the Celtics record and Atlanta came in 32 and 16 which is about to go 327 in this game and you should have want to play Boston at the Boston Garden with them having the advantage for a seventh game and that’s what it’s all about with some

Of these teams in the western uh excuse me Central Division and you see Atlanta is only one game off that pace the 11397 515 to go Oakley doesn’t get the shot the ball that time Oakley got the ball and he was on a Glide pattern instead of a leap

Pattern carine sets a beautiful pick here I mean that’s a wide body and into the defense Carr did not cut off the penetration there’s the lay down pass and you see that inability of Oakley to lift and get the good jump causes him to really not score a lot of

Hoops underneath he’s so strong getting rebounds if he could just jump about a foot he’d be so tough to stop free throw on Fall 11497 505 to go quick move by Doc Rivers in the off Bal shot oh what a Dandy play by piffen how about that for heads up literally

That was not a rookie move good hustle play by pipp and the keeping in bounds saves it and knows there’s no place to go but off a car’s head made it work antoan didn’t know quite what to what to think that hurts boy that hurts Oakley fouled by Kevin Willis coming up

Tonight on CBS Kate and Elli Designing Women new har Frank’s Place and wise God all of that tonight on CBS as we’re here on a Monday afternoon presidential day and Mike matello is thinking about the trip back home you know this Chicago gold team although it’s looked so exceptional they

You can tell by the prior week that they’ve had that they can have ups and downs and be very sporadic and erratic at times what this club ultimately can build to is one of the fastest teams to use speed which is what dou Collins’s philosophy is and with a superstar like

Michael Jordan as your potential Prime offensive player you don’t need an inside game quite as much as some of the other teams so they can really be Dynamite by the end of the year hle Pippen all the way back out to [Applause] Jordan go I guarantee you Michael Jordan wanted

To pass the ball that time but there were five red jerseys attacking him and he couldn’t find anybody open so he just hung there for three seconds hung there until they went by look at all those jerseys around him took the blow the game Chicago wins it a strong second

Quarter propelled them to a 19-point victory 126 107 we’ll be back in a moment player of the game is Michael Jordan 32 points one below his season average he had 13 rebounds and eight assists

  1. Thank you for taking me down memory lane. I make it a point to enjoy Saturday evenings watching your channel. Keep up the great work 💯

  2. Thank you so much for this upload. As a kid who didn’t have cable, when the Bulls were on free TV, it was a big deal for me. I remember watching this game because I begged to stay home from school. 😂

  3. You have the best you tube channel. It's great to watching the great games of the NBA from the 80's again. Great job. Thank you very much
