1998 Game 6 The Movie Chicago Bulls vs Utah Jazz '98 story

[@FactorD3]

Love this! This is legendary, specially for us who were blessed to watch the game in 1998. This is unique.

[@thekidnamedenis]

You were blessed to see it live, I wish I was born years earlier to live the golden era of life before technology took over most of our lives.

[@BeaWalsh]

2024 I still get emotional watching this game. Damn. My childhood years, the best. ❤🐐❤

[@zerocool7408]

This Jazz team beat Olajuwon’s Rockets (rd 1) twin towers Spurs (rd 2) and swept Shaq’s Lakers (WCF Finals). Tha’s how great this team is. Klutch media will feed you a false narrative that MJ’s Bulls had no competition. This Iazz team would have been a serious contender if they played in today’s league

[@romanch2]

You are 100% correct. Don’t forget the Pacers that year. The Bulls barely won that series.

[@sohnhazel2409]

Hell thy wud be champs if want for the bulls & in ths error champs for sure, look who Boston beat to get thr & how many teams were hurt & banged up ....The bulls are insanely instinctive when came time to when in the 4qtr, starring noe other than hs Airness....smh, the good old days🔥

[@ShaadsComicsandBeers]

Would've won the championship if Jordan had just stayed playing baseball

[@munimathbypeterfelton6251]

In addition to all of the above facts and figures, the 1998 Utah Jazz team had the best record in the NBA during that year's regular season and the homecourt advantage over the Bulls in Games 1 (which the Jazz won in overtime, marking the first-and-only time since the outcome of Game 1 against Magic Johnson's Lakers in 1991 that the Bulls ever trailed in a Finals series) and 2 in the Finals. And with Karl Malone having won the 1997 NBA Regular Season MVP, Utah was no joke either year. A veteran team that knew their stuff and whose three leaders in Stockton, Malone, and Head Coach Jerry Sloan had been together for nearly a decade-and-a-half and had excellent chemistry on and off the court. It was almost tragic that the Utah Jazz of the 1990s never won a NBA championship. But we all know the reason why, and you can't get any better than that!

[@Larry-zv8li]

I remember watching this game, few days after high school graduation. I remember Jordan holding up that 6 before the Utah crowd. I thought they were gonna lose, my uncle said, "he's the best ever, watch him work". simply the GOAT

[@melvinhhcp3615]

Your uncle didn't lie.

[@AK-fu1ge]

That’s cold 🔥

[@truthhearer6323]

So he's more than a human according to you? The same way almost all MJ fluffers think?

[@isrealneal7552]

This is why Jordan is so good because of plays like this one and a great move on Russell and making the shot that gives the bulls a one point win for they're sixth chip😉👌👍💯

[@AwesomeG]

Stockton rolling up in his minivan to the game with his kids. That was great! During the intro, every key player had a back story that was briefly spoken about to draw you into the story of the game. Gold

[@RoyPage1970]

Yeah he thought he actually had a chance of being a champ 😂😂😂

[@zr8693]

"Stockton would roll up in a mini van, pop his kids out, and BUST US UP! -- Chris Webber

[@zerocool7408]

This game is extremely physical and a clinic on post ups, mid range, back screens and classic pick and rolls. A lost art in today’s game. Now everyone runs to the 3 pt line even if you’re shooting % is below average.

[@melvinhhcp3615]

Sad, but facts.

[@GisherJohn24]

Real basketball. physical play, inside game, great players, real basketball. And no constant traveling! I miss the 90's b'ball so much!

[@chaunseybillings5381]

I miss these days NBA on NBC

[@GisherJohn24]

Real basketball. physical play, inside game, great players, real basketball. And no constant traveling!

[@MM-ig1iv]

I remember it... Me and my best friend were like 15.. but I remember it. Jordan was the most exciting thing going on back then.

[@dungoncrazy2634]

"Dennis Rodman doesn't prefer Utah but at least it's close to Vegas" lol It's always funny listening to commentators when they mention Rodman.

[@cut1986]

Finally! Clear footage from the past.

[@Sandman1724]

Finally get to hear what the strategy was in the huddles! Need more of this.

[@zerocool7408]

Bulls were truly the underdogs in this series. They should have lost this one with Pippen sidelined for most of the game. MJ willed this team knowing if they go to g7 there was a good chance pIppen is not playing and Jazz with all the advantage including homecourt. If there was a game that epitomized MJ’s will to win and clutch gene, this was IT!

[@tommorris3035]

❤❤❤❤I love this I can watch this all day and not get iired

[@vanslang5385]

I hope there’s more games filmed & edited like this👍

[@JoeRichardRules]

This game was so good not even one person checked their phone at any time

[@gerico9]

Or maybe it's because there was no smart phone back then....🤔

[@3512250]

@@gerico9exactly lol!

[@SatansMightiestSoldier]

I can't stand you nostalgic ass clowns. 😂

[@washburn11000]

Lol

[@christopherbrock8913]

​@@gerico9you can't be that slooooow to respond to that comment 🤔🤷🏾‍♂️ it was a joke dude

[@mariobryant8803]

Just listening to the huddle of Phil Jackson and the Bulls’ defensive strategy on Utah’s last play, several things came into play- communication, everyone supporting each other, teamwork.

[@Youmustberich]

This is what an nba game should look like. Now the nba game is not even as exciting as the ncaa game.

[@Ctothebg]

Damn!!!! I drive the exact same minivan as John Stockton!! 👌🏽 windows down arm out today 😎

[@sean2015]

So you drive a 25+ year-old minivan? 😁

[@arnelkatz]

The irony of it all is Zeke being one of the commentators of probably one of the most memorable games of MJ 😂😂😂

[@munimathbypeterfelton6251]

Even though Isaiah Thomas and co. did not show it on the court when the Bulls swept the Bad Boy Pistons in the 1991 Eastern Conference Finals, Zeke ultimately surrendered to the reality that Michael Jordan was/is the greatest basketball player of all time. Once the Bulls achieved their first three-peat right after the Pistons repeated as NBA champions, it was 100% clear that there was a new sheriff in town who could not be beat!

[@mariobryant8803]

Just awesome to see the close up view and from a different angle of the game. Wonderful times back then.

[@jclemons121384]

Telecast goals for the future. Could you imagine watching live sports like this.

[@BernardTassart]

Very much appreciated 🎉,greetings from Belgium and yes ...thanks for posting this 🎉

[@simplysimple7628]

Just the demeanor of these guys is what separates this era from today’s era. These dudes are mature. Today??🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️ Good grief…. That play between Stockton and Malone at about the 1:03:40 time stamp, where Stockton faked a screen set and cut back door was a pure chemistry play between those legendary players. Malone knew what Stock was gonna do, that’s why he waited. Dam I miss this game. This type of basketball is just soooooo much better and more exciting. Every possession is a fight. Just watch all the grabbing and banging. So dam physical…..

[@erock81487]

Wow. This is a great copy of the game. Thanks for sharing.

[@RoyPage1970]

Utah actually thought they was going to push his airness to a game 7 in the finals Jordan didn't do game 7 in the finals

[@sean2015]

I sure thought the Jazz would push it to a Game 7. I was very optimistic after the Jazz won Game 5, because, even though they still trailed the series 3-2, they had home court advantage, and needed only to win twice on their home floor.

[@Infinite0396]

My all time favorite NBA game. Maybe Jordan’s best game and Rodman had to have Jordan’s back especially with Pippen being hurt. Also love the commentary from Costas, Doug, and Isiah is so enjoyable to listen to.

[@RoyPage1970]

Remember all this just like it was last week betting on the bulls was like having money in the bank

[@arnelkatz]

MJ at that point with 5 rings may very well be the GOAT as it is . . . but missing a lot of shots in the fourth quarter, and kept trying to shoot anyways and finally after winning it all, to hear him say to his coach, "I never gave up. I never gave up." . . . well, there's your TRUE GOAT.

[@tanguemaxime4706]

Forget how the league was once much more strict about travel.

[@MiguelRodriguez-ry9wg]

Classic game was watching it with 🥛 and Oreos 😋I was 11 years old

[@clasj85121]

Good times. I like how nice and clean the games was. Too bad is not like that anymore.

[@Neandros44]

Man I forgot how good Malone was!

[@mralowen]

The HD footage is amazing, I wish someone would figure out a way for all 90's Bulls games to look so good somehow

[@dodensph7375]

Very clear..tnx

[@chaunseybillings5381]

I remember this game like it's was yesterday

[@954roof]

Back when the commentators didn’t sound like a bad impersonation of NBA Jam

[@bimboyerro4947]

This is amazing copy. Thanks for posting this.

[@chaunseybillings5381]

This was the end of the real NBA

[@airtime23]

01:34:00 These kind of fouls were just normal back in the day. No biggy, no reviews. Free throws and play on!

[@JingyeOnYourFace]

Yeah! So many young nba fans don’t understand

[@TroyTroj]

The coaches called that last play perfectly 2:10:00 with Stockton

[@RosemarieJuan-pk6yk]

Gnon lng ka simple mag coach c phil jackson❤❤❤

[@andrewle9974]

Thank you for sharing

[@robertromero4674]

This is f'n beautiful

[@ramong9842]

Stockton in the new era would hit so many more 3’s without Malone

[@kennyray1573]

It Was Told That MJ Wasn’t Sick At All, It Was Only The NBAs Ploy😊

[@deja.vunathan]

Bulls fan here - but there is no excuse for missing that call at 40:48. Not even close - that should have counted.

[@thecvnnt]

Can u tell me please where did you get this kind of nba game

[@Isradara]

This is footage from the last dance that ESPN aired in full as “game 6 the movie”

[@eoofun5243]

You could just sense the, and I hesitate to use this word, hatred, between Phil Jackson and Jerry Krause. It was palpable.

[@munimathbypeterfelton6251]

It's because Krause informed Phil Jackson that 1997-1998 was going to be Phil's last year coaching Chicago no matter what the outcome of that season for the Bulls, prior to the beginning of that season. That's practically saying "you're fired" for no reason.

[@cut1986]

I believe there are 7 HOF's on this floor. Please correct me if im wrong.

[@munimathbypeterfelton6251]

There are actually 8: Jordan, Pippen, Rodman, Kukoc, Phil Jackson, Stockton, Malone, Jerry Sloan. Steve Kerr will undoubtedly become inducted in future years, so make that 9!

[@iishyxvietxboyii1]

What kinda van were John Stockton kids in?

[@coreyburns2074]

This game alone should stop the mj needed pip bs a back injury is no joke but mj did all the work pip did the same thing in the game 7 in 90 with a migraine but this was when basketball was the best and till this day this is the highest viewed finals of all time 27 years later and it still can’t be topped

[@mardikermardiker8514]

Nobody had any chances against Bulls. Just need to admit it.

[@samgarcia7848]

How much players today get away with travels and carries.

[@GisherJohn24]

today's game is awful just for that reason. I hate it. And the physical inside game is long gone. No more elbows and pushes

imagine a you tube dude, saying a game was rigged 29 years ago. i'm sure the ref was rigging it from the start🤡

[@ihtfcs]

Yeah so rigged they decided to not call a foul on Russel at 1:01:26. Should have been a 3pt play

If lebron was so great, he wouldnt have the frickin commish on his ass to save his life. Not to mention all the hofers he teamed up with to tip the balance heavily in his team’s favor and going 3/10 lol

who's dick bavetta? never heard that name before there for his not good if he is a basketball player..

[@user-yn6gm1oy9k]

Game 30 years ago is slow 😂. Utah hornacek, Russell, ostertag really😂😂, the 2nd best player Stockton avg 14pts 9asst this finals what a joke 😂😂

[@2H2521]

@user-yn6gm1oy9k You’re an idiot. That’s because there was actual defense & not constant 3’s jacked up every single possession. John Stockton is also one of the best point guards of all time.

[@ivand546]

Hornacek is a mindless useless player
