Scottie my favorite player of all time

[@paolobrossi78]

Scottie pippen one of the greatest finishers to play the game . Great dinasty

[@jimoneal7499]

I was there. 7th row across from Bulls bench. Jordan, Pippen, way too much for my Suns that night. Jordan's drive at the end of the first half is so clear in memory, just like it was yesterday. GOAT for sure.

Pip in 1994, 95 and 96 was pretty much the most complete basketball player in the entire world. A true alpha dog mvp type of guy.

[@ILoveOldTWC]

Pippen in 1991 was great!

[@apostolostvable]

If you wanted to learn about how to play on the wings, study Jordan and Pippen on both sides of the ball. Excellent movement and fundamentals. Obviously they were both superb athletes but their movement both with and without the ball was brilliant.

That was an exhibition and a clinic of high octaine, flying, slamma-jamma, in-ur-face, dance-a-rama offense of a display by the greatest dual ever to play the game of basketball without a shadow of a doubt that being Scottie Pip and Mike jordan; OUTSTANDING.

[@Mexica_702]

Man I feel like after watching this highlights the score was 100-10 bulls

[@CloudKurosaki13]

This was a great Finals! I grew up watching basketball in the 80's & 90's and basketball seemed tougher back then, unlike all the flopping and tick-tack fouls called today. The 90's Bulls would destroy alot of the "put-together" teams today like the Knicks, Heat, and Celtics.

[@kendeng9828]

0:39 Boy was Mike wrong. The goat averaged 41 points in this series.

[@VMakNYC]

Well he was partially right.. It was Paxson, not MJ who made the game winning shot.. And Grant blocked Kevin Johnson's shot at the buzzer after.

[@southpaw599]

[@undergroundheatcypher1091]

I was so mad at this game i swore after Barkley got traded from my Sixers to the Suns he was going to win a ring but MJ & Pippen had other ideas damn they were great!!

[@sopa71479]

one little miscue my friend, this wasn't the only finals series that had a triple overtime. Suns vs Celtics played in 3 ot's because of gar heard's amazing shot. But i agree amazing series and this was hands down the greatest Suns team i ever saw. They had the league MVP Barkley, 2 extra perenial all stars KJ and Majerle, A former all star MVP and vet PF , Tom Chambers, 2 explosive young SF's in Ceballos and Dumas, and Frankie johnson and Danny ainge off the bench. . This team was stacked.

[@VMakNYC]

Ceballos was hurt and didn't play at all in The 1993 Finals. You wonder what would have happened if instead of Frank Johnson taking the shot in Game 6 to give Phoenix a possible six point lead in the last minute, if it was Ceballos, who led the entire NBA in fg % (over 55 %) in the 1992-1993 season.The guy actually had a better field goal percentage than Shaq .. Phoenix probably would have won game 6, up by four points with 45 seconds to go and a possession. Ceballos certainly held his own against Pippen in regular season, in March 1993 game holding Scottie to low fg% and Cedric scoring 27 points.

LMAO Kj led the Suns to the WCF twice before Barkley joined. Kj made numerous All-NBA teams, and finished top ten in MVP Voting multiple times before Pippen made either. The Bulls and Suns only had one MVP player, Jordan and Barkley.

[@erikhopkins9488]

@@blo2706 KJ was good but he and Barkley were not on the same level as Jordan and Pippen.

[@blo2706]

@@erikhopkins9488 Barkley not on Pippen's level? If you mean Barkley>Pippen than i agree. Pippen leading the 3peat Bulls to the 2nd round is brought up as proof of his superstar status, so what would you call KJ for leading the Suns to back-2-back WCF?

[@erikhopkins9488]

in 93 Barkley won the MVP. The argument isn't whether he was a better player than Pippen. The argument is which suns player was the 2nd best player and was he better than Pippen. Again, KJ is that dude but not better than Pippen.

[@blo2706]

@@erikhopkins9488 KJ isn't better than Pippen all-time, but the topic is the 93 Finals. Going into the 93 Finals, KJ was 4×All-NBA, 2×All-Star, Led the Suns to 50+ wins every yr from 89-92, two WCF in 89 & 90 as the number one option. KJ also avg over 20ppg and 10ast on 50% shooting for 3 straight yrs, that's Magic Johnson level. Speaking of Magic KJ Suns defeated the Lakers in the 90 Playoffs. Pippen going into the 93 Finals was a 2×All-NBA, 3×All-Star. Pippen and KJ were drafted the same yr. It looks like KJ was the better more accomplished player heading into the 93 Finals. KJ was slowed down by injuries.

[@OReallyYaRly]

Barkley thinks this video is TURRIBLE and disliked it

[@Wis_Dom]

2:44 These were two finesse teams going head-to-head. No real hard defense like NY. So Jordan ate them alive! NBA teams today are more like a watered down version of this Suns team. So Jordan would average well over 40-50 points today. Just like he did in this series.

[@netomilt]

At 7:08 you can see Michael already practiced his signature last shot again Utah in '98. There was plenty of footage out there for Brian Russell to know it was coming.

That pass from Paxson at the end of the 3rd was nice.

[@brandonmorris9889]

Had it not been for Paxson's winning three and it went the other way, In this case the Suns, then this would have been the first sports championship for Phoenix. If the Suns had also won game 7. Of course it would have been two when the DBacks won the World Series 8 years later.

wasn't this the series where mike went 41.0 ppg in the Finals? ridiculous. kobe bryant is my fav player in the league today - also IMO the best player in the league - but i doubt he could have averaged 41 on a great defensive team whilst hitting almost half of his field goals. only God knows how many more titles the bulls would've won if mike didn't "retire" in the offseason. probably would have been as dominant as the 60s Celts.

Magic Johnson never ever needs to be a commentator again...

[@TMC1982Part2]

The nicest way that I can say about Magic on commentary during this period is that while enthusiastic (which we should normally expect from Magic Johnson), he was none the less, extremely raw and somewhat klutzy. I think that's the challenge when you have somebody who has as big and effervescent a personality as Magic. They risk detracting from the broadcast instead of being a supplement.

This was an awesome game by Pip but the major blemish for him in this game was, i believe he shot something like 3-9 from the free throw line. Richard Dumas was such a waste of talent, guy could dunk like it was no one's business and this was his rookie year. Its a damn shame really
