1991 NBA Finals | Game 1 | Los Angeles Lakers vs. Chicago Bulls | All The Points

[@davidca96]

Peak MJ, I was 13 and got the 6's for that Christmas. Wore them until the toes holed out and soles browned, I loved those shoes.

[@Herrera777]

I was a freshman in HS in ‘91. This was a Lakers fan dream match up. Too bad the Lakers crumbled.

[@rumarspencer7302]

They were no longer in their prime at this point, times have changed, no longer the 80s, it was the 90s.

[@TiltBrook]

I was also 9th grade and living in L.A. Yes, it’s too bad we lost this one! Of all the Lakers trips to the finals that we lost, this is the one that I would love to have. If you would’ve asked me at the time, I would’ve said 89. But looking back in retrospect, I would take the 91 finals for us to have won! Because it would change the ENTIRE Magic versus Michael debate. … And let’s be fair, Worthy and Scott were both out by series end, and not playing at 100%. If it was reversed with Worthy and Scott healthy, but instead, Pippen and Paxon were out… Lakers win the series, hands-down!

[@rumarspencer7302]

@TiltBrook The main reason this Bulls championship was shorter than the rest, cause the Lakers beat the Bulls more times in the playoffs than any team has from the Western Conference, and the main reason the Bulls won 3 straight at the Forum to finish it, is because in the prior yrs, The Bulls all time was 0-13 in the playoffs at the Forum before 91.

@jayrodriguez9211 No they don't, many don't know the history, just know the era that they grew up in.

Great job by NBC and Dick Ebersol.

This is awesome

[@belramirez4228]

James Worthy did not played the following game finals not sure if it was due to injury. So there was an imbalance trap defense on Jordan since, Lakers got sweeped from Game 2 to 5 Bulls won the '91 NBA Championship.

[@kik5323]

He played up until midway through the 2nd half in game 4. He had a sprain ankle from the previous series against Portland.

[@ctttt7019]

In this highlight reel how can you not show the missed Jordan shot that rimmed out?

[@hectorlopez1069]

James worthy was injured in this finals series. He couldn't play.

[@jeromeandrew5276]

Bryon Scott also

[@75binoy]

Youre right

[@marquivionblack4490]

Oh so when i saw number 42 make a basket in the first quarter that was actually Semaj Unworthy, his twin?

[@jahprime6932]

Here after Shannon Sharpe said Jordan got cooked by the big guards of the Lakers. He definitely lost a cred point with that take.

[@j-short5431]

It wasn’t about Magic scoring. It was about him getting where he wanted to on the floor to run the Lakers offense.

[@Wis_Dom]

Shannon never HAD any cred to begin with. He was a football player.

[@redpillfreedom6692]

Yep, Shannon had exactly ONE field goal on MJ the whole game. Plus the Lakers built a 13 point lead in Game 3 when Pippen was on Magic, meaning Magic had figured Pippen out after 1 game.

If magic would not have retired Lakers would of eventually beat the bulls

[@FlyAwayChi]

Are you high? 😂😂

[@guillermojoselopezacostasd4128]

I dont know but i think that lakers team was a better team than bulls, you change magic for kobe and i think they could have won that series. Magic is not better than kobe and this is the prove of that. Kobe with worthy, sam Perkins, AC Green , that Divac , Byron Scott and many others good players on that lakers team, kobe would have won ir without a doubt

[@FlyAwayChi]

You sound dumb and ridiculous as hell😂😂
