Pippen shuts down Penny + Rodman schools Shaq - 1996 ECF Game 2

[@montblanc6453]

Pippen is just everywhere - incredible player

[@alicnestoret635]

Back in the days, good ol'dayz, I used to consider ECF's superior to the NBA Finals. Those were real epic physical and tactical battles.

[@titanhovey]

love those 90s games so much

[@RemmyGold416]

Dame, I miss this defensive this passion for the game these guys were relentless!! Thank you something for the young guys playing and studying

[@yunokirio617]

Damn Rodman is so good

[@MrDotaleavers]

Look at pippen, he got eyes on shaq and penny... this guy!

[@eddie-oh2ir]

This was amazing pippen contained penny on a ankle that needed surgery he was playing on a bad ankle he had it operated on after the season.

[@BarstoolBlues33]

39% in the playoffs...jesus christ Shaq, that's Deandre Jordan level of shittiness.

[@fatalsniper3413]

Shaq quit on the team. Shaq is about 1 person

[@goldy9428]

Don't disrespect DJ, he's a good ass player.

[@lchris6997]

That's the main reason the constant single coverage defensive strategy used on him this series was so effective.

[@J.B24]

Mike, Scottie, and Rodman were like vulchers eating a piece of roadkill on anyone who had the ball.

[@rotoninja]

Damn...look at Rodman deny Shaq @07:00.

[@ChrisM07]

Grant's absence actually did make a difference, sure he wasn't much of a factor in G1 but he didn't have those kind've games often throughout his career his interior presence possibly could've won the Magic a few games this series. What gets overlooked was for most of the 2nd half this game the Magic were going small with Dennis Scott at PF who couldn't really play that position. Then in G3 both Grant and Shaw who was the top reserve on the Magic were out the series was practically over by that point.

[@athanasioskyriakidis4613]

hahahahaha loved that garbage time dunk by Shaq at 12:22 patting dem stats :)

[@shutterbugblues]

I think people need to understand that the Bulls were so good in the late 90's with Rodman that Jordan could've stayed in baseball and the Bulls would've still contended for titles. Seriously.

[@blanktrigger8863]

People will always underrate how great the Bulls were. I watch this and go "what other team has ever had 2 or more players who shut out key offensive players like the Bulls had" and the answer is really none, unless you go back to Russell's Celtics.

[@jcarreon1983jc]

At the end of the video, Dennis Rodman gives his jersey to Brian Knobbs of The Nasty Boys.

[@donkeytime1704]

Todays 3 pt shooters would've had a difficult time getting their shot off with a team like the Bulls had back then. The pressure that the Bulls would put on anyone to win is just remarkable. This team was so physical and hungry to win and this is what today's NBA is missing, the lack of physicality in the game due to the rules. Not the players fault, but just what today's NBA is lacking. Back then it was in your face defense like what was demonstrated here. Like I said before, it would be very difficult to even to get off a 3pt shot under those circumstances. That's what I loved about the Bulls, no matter what strength that their opponent had, they would rethink and generate a defense or offense against their game and make it their own. This was the 1995/96 Bulls team, the greatest team of all time in the game, not to mention the vengeance game for the Bulls and the Magic got swept that year.

[@johndoe-nu5tn]

16:07 an unusual carrector lol it's brian knobbs (nasty boys) he's a wrestler

[@FootballMatrix]

sha1 avg 27 and 1 of 60% from FG and 36% from FT% Penny 26-4 and 4 on 46% shooting

[@rayjames2149]

This is why Scottie Pippin is top 5 he shut down the dude Penny hardaway that was supposed to be the next face of the league

[@ChrisM07]

When Shaw was on the floor he was often running the point which made Penny less of a factor on the offensive end. The majority of the 2nd half they were going inside to Shaq with Penny standing on the perimeter even after the Bulls went on that big run it made it their set offense too predictable.

[@tj5180]

Jordan pippen Rodman best defensive front court in the NBA. Rodman was really important for the bulls since grant left the bulls. They needed a interior presence like Rodman who can do the job. Rodman only had his good years in 96 but in 97,98 he was past his prime and issues started happening in the playoffs with the suspensions and ejections.

[@STONE9523]

after rewatch this, rodman - shaq > 0. basket ball is NOT a sports just measuring weight, but need whole a lot of skills, minds .....

[@mikep9210]

Pippen wasn’t even contesting Penny shots

[@MrMakemusicmike]

this is 1 series. I used to watch Penny put it on Scotty

[@hansmransm8835]

You're not going to completely shut a great player down every game.

[@broyy0105]

Shaq is h best free throw shooter

[@FootballMatrix]

This magic team was ordinary Penny and shaq did well but no grant avg HC Bulls were able to just get into them

[@rayjames2149]

Pippin showed you non basketball head that he is a top 5 player in order to win you have to shut down their scorers he beat Penny and he beat Shaq

[@emilioquintana4332]

Boricua hispanic india n black iam... Pippen dunk in the face of shaq n penny . pippen was 10 time defender player. Pippen play like Jordan dunk play like bird 3 Point shot n play like John stockton steal the ball n John stockton was smart player pippen have that to n play like Roman rebound .pippen have all the skeal of each players of NBA . pippen was amazing player. So shaq was talking about pippen he a bum. I think the bum is hem. Pippen was better that shaq. Them shaq say penny was better that Kobe. Not shaq. Kobe want the laker to be like the bulls but shaq not taking serious the baskeball game . kobe was working hard n shaq not.shaq was party with his Music n making movie. Most of players was gealous of pippen. Shaq n isasac Tomás n m other players . pippen shot down 5 players in Barcelona 1992. In 1997 diciembre 17 jodan score 30 Point 9 rebound pippen have 35 point n 10 rebound. Pippen was the force in the NBA .you see space jam with michael Jordan the moster took the skeal of each players . pippen was like that he got all the skeal. That be nice if they make a movie of pippen all his skills.

[@brianedwards7133]

shaq was very dominate this series. Why do you think Longley guarded him most of the time? it was because rodman couldnt. Sure for stretches but he was way to small to play him head up all game with no help. 36 points on 73 percent shooting? isnt being schooled by anyone. He is the teacher.

[@MyWifesSon69]

Ur dumb

[@brianedwards7133]

Shut up fan

[@ChrisM07]

Longley was an actual C he was supposed to be the primary defender at the beginning the game, Rodman only switched on Shaq when Longley was in foul trouble.

[@edisonsubandi7231]

Like this defense… LBJ , Giannis wont win championship.

[@whathehadas]

it should be noted that this wasn't Shaq's prime. In his prime, from 99 - 2004, none of that Era Bulls would be able to stop him in the paint. He was a young immature center at this point and he was still dominant at times

[@armandodelossantos736]

that's not true at all. Orlando Shaq was better than LA Shaq! The only reason you think that about 99-04' Shaq is because Olajuwon, Ewing, Rodman, Robinson were all old and on their way out. So 99-04' Shaq only had to deal with a busted up Rik Smits, a much lighter Mutumbo, Todd MacCullogh, and Kenyon Martin! When he went up against Olajuwon swept, when he went up against Wallace almost swept, when he went up against Rodman swept! These are facts and your opinion is based off of hype and no competition!

[@aaronm.3581]

Rodman shut him down in 1998..

[@ChrisM07]

Athletic players that could run the floor always gave Shaq problems, Ben Wallace a decade later was doing practically the same thing to him Rodman did here.
