Why didn’t the guard take that wide open 3 when Jordan gambled for the steal at the end of the clip?

Were they gambling on the games at this time??

The darnest thing about the Hakeem and Barkley rockets is they almost made the finals in 97 if they could have beaten the jazz.

soft ass refs

90s refereeing… even worse than today’s

Barkley always keeps things interesting with his comments.

The technical was for implying they call MJ differently than other players. I’m ok with it.

Pretty sure Rhodes just lost the ball after accidently elbowing Jordan in the face lol.
It almost could have been called the other way.

I mean, it’s a tech. You can’t insinuate the refs are playing favorites.

I’m a lifelong fan, and Charles Motherfucking Barkley will FOREVER be my favorite player ever.
6’4″ Power Forward, during the Power Forward years. Dominant.
Today, 6’4″ is decent for the PG spot, and that’s about it.

You mean he got a technical for insinuating that the refs played favorites.

I’ve been going back and watching a lot of games from this era lately and they gave out a TON of techs for super soft stuff. They would also really obviously target specific players based off of reputation. Go watch the Bulls finals run without the commentary telling you what to think about Rodman, and you can see that he was treated unfairly by the refs purely because of who he was.

Love how Jordan instantly talked trash to Barkley right after.
More current players need to do this when someone picks up a rage T.

Look at Barkley teaming up Hakeem trying to beat Michael Jordan but it doesn’t count because they didn’t win

MJ probably gave a head nod to the ref, and that’s all she wrote.

I’ve met Barkley…he is not very tall. However, he has a bodacious butt.

Looks like refs have always been soft when it comes to techs

I think we need to talk about Jordan’s defense here. From what I can see when the offensive player goes up with the ball his elbow makes contact with Jordan’s jaw, which bumps his arm enough to lose control of the ball. You can see Jordan’s head go back and to left even, it wasn’t soft.
So technically a foul on Jordan, but you want that to be a play on. And once again Jordan is tough as nails, doesn’t even care about the bump.
