  1. Orlando barely beat them the year before when Scotty and MJ didnt do anything..barely beat all the white guys..this is what happens when you send MJ home he thinks about it for a year

  2. Even then to now the NBA on NBC was the best broadcast. Even today on ABC. It was like MJ and NBC really defined MJs era.

  3. Team was great balanced, top def and atack, Jackson gave a lot to players and they responded with titles. With Rodman they recieve an a second chance. Grant was good, but Denis gave more. Remember that Rodman in Detroit was on another position and style, but he changed, what a talent.
    Shak in great shape was tough, hungry for wins.

  4. Bulls obviously were the superior team and swept Magic in '96 but that Magic team won 62 games while Shaq only played in 54. That's crazy. Magic had a very strong season. But this series showed how much stronger Bulls were

  5. This is proof Lebron is the greatest…Jordan needed Pippen to get his first rings then needed Rodman to get the next..lebron is going to the finals regardless of who his teammates are

  6. There are some parallels between 1991 and 1996 with the Bulls in the playoffs. The only difference is that they won in 6 in the finals in 96, and won in 5 in the finals in 1991.

    But they swept the first round, only lost 1 in the ECSF, and swept the ECF both in 1991 and 1996.

  7. Wow! I am not even a bulls fan but I know a great team when I see it!

  8. Game 1 1995 finals changed everything, had Orlando beat Rockets in that game they go on to win title and face Bulls in 96 with confidence.

  9. Pippen in his prime maybe the most underrated player ever. He nearly got this team to the finals WITHOUT Jordan….he was the clear #1 on the team and at mvp level

  10. These are the "plumbers" Jordan played with. Prime Shaq and Hardaway and they dominated them 😅.

  11. I get why everyone always talks about numbers and offense, but this Bulls team might have been the best defensive team I've ever seen. When the best two players in the league are then paired up with one of the all time great rebounders and defensive players like Rodman (who was once their nemesis) they just had the ability to completely shut you down and they weren't selective about it. It didn't matter whom they played, if they were all healthy it didn't matter who your best players were, the game was basically over before it started. Those 90's Bulls teams could have been a force in any era and been dominant.

  12. Scottie used to be amazing, man. Jordan the GOAT but he was a demon himself. The Bulls were intimidating to play against
