April 3, 1997 Bulls vs Bullets highlights

[@RetroKid]

Rod Strickland was the truth.

Playoff preview in the following ten or so days but hold on...5:54, stopped his momentum to completely move in the opposite direction, falling away while arcing the ball higher than usual. Incredible concentration and execution

[@mrsjr78]

Damn, I didn't know Gheorghe Mureșan ever moved that well.

[@DMS86]

Yeah, I don't remember if it was that season or the previous that he got the Most improved player award

[@MrSantee2000]

[@Nash55ppp]

Final season Washington had the named "Bullets", they become the "Wizards" next season due to name of violence

[@dsc5754]

A playoff preview.

[@jcrhea001]

Who was that fan behind MJ at 7:25? I remember Marv Albert talked about him in game 4 of the 92 2nd round vs Knicks. I suppose he was a guest heckler in that game and Marv said he regularly heckles at Washington games.

Yeah he was a known bulls heckler he was in Phoenix during the finals heckling Jordan he would read from the Jordan rules book out loud 😂😂 he was everywhere

[@1108takuya]

hard defense

[@Kicks-iw2xe]

Bullets and raptors gave the bulls problems back then.

[@jumpnam]

They really did. Teams with great, quick point guards and/or a versatile 4 gave the Bulls trouble.

[@Silvereagledude]

If Rodman is playing, the Bulls win this game

[@Wis_Dom]

Not if Jordan was out, they wouldn't.

[@Silvereagledude]

@@Wis_Dom that is undeniable

[@HeathOverledger]

@@Wis_DomMJ missed zero ball games during this period so that’s kind of a moot point….

[@almighty2542]

How do I watch the full games myself

[@hoodfm2117]

You enjoy watching the bulls lose 😭😅 97 Champion regardless and still looking good with the L

[@Andrew-rf3hu]

Surprised Jason Caffey didn't go onto have a better career. Remember thinking he was decent player back then and the Bulls inexplicably gave him away for very little the following season.

[@optimusprimeshead5369]

That was always a shady trade, in my opinion. I remember they traded Dickey Simpkens to...Golden State? But they signed Scott Burrell, who I think was with GS. So then they traded back for Simpkens and sent Caffey...it always seemed like it was one of those "staggered" under the table trades that both teams agreed would be completed later in the season...maybe I'm crazy. I'm sure that never actual happens...

[@thamnophisrex5895]

@@optimusprimeshead5369 They traded Simpkins for Burrell before the season and signed Simpkins midway through the season. Then they traded Caffey at the deadline for David Vaughn and cut him.

[@drlight6677]

Seemed like it was a preview of Jerry Krause beginning to dismantle the Bulls dynasty. Started in the off-season with not giving Brian Williams a contract but signed Joe Kleine instead lol.

[@Wardfolio]

@@thamnophisrex5895 Both Jordan and Pippen spoke on that. They really liked Caffey and was upset at the trade.
