Bulls vs. Knicks - 1996 (72-10 season) TBS Night game

/ scottie33pippen
Bulls taking on the Knicks at the United Center in the '96 season. Michael Jordan has a rare horrendous shooting game against the Knicks so the Bulls rely on defense and the energy of Rodman's return to get the win.

[@andreglenn74]

Pippen was one the greatest defensive players ever

[@Hero-3]

Andre Alves maybe the best on that court.

[@nachomagallanico]

and am elite offensive player also!

[@andykalnins9846]

Having Rodman against teams like New York and Miami was huge. Fighting fire with Fire.

[@aaronharris5069]

Scottie Pippen, the glue that made the Bulls great!

[@dustinjefferson6550]

A Bronsexual had to of posted this

[@Hakim24x]

Pippen from 1994-1997 would have at least 2 MVP's in today's NBA, and 2 Defensive Player of the Year Award easy

[@Curtchrisdagod]

So true. He was always getting cheated out of awards and accolades he should have won hands down.

This game is a great example of the Bull's character in 96'. That was the best NBA I ever watched in my life, cause they had no weaknesses. They could play any style, adapt, and find a way to beat you.

[@krlm2280]

Pippen one of my favorite players ever best small forward of my era

[@michaelroelant7134]

Idd!

[@delfra70]

I remember this game well, the Bulls just steamrolled the NBA for a few years starting with this magical season. However this was a hard fought gritty game against a tough opponent. Your first game home after such a long road trip is always the toughest, especially against a very good squad like the Knicks. This game was a good example of why the Bulls we're so great, it's easy to win when you're dominating and blowing teams out, but when you struggle and have to fight from behind, your tested.

"I know he makes me a better player. Unfortunately, it may take a while, after we both retire, for people to realize just how good Scottie Pippen really was." -Michael Jordan.

[@Wis_Dom]

The Knicks were trying to play like the Bad Boy Pistons but forgot Rodman was on that team, lol!

[@teddybear6078]

man i love knicks vs bulls in the 90s this was the real nba

[@ninjasupersport]

Pippen is a beast

[@Maal7432]

+GBtha G WHAT?

[@bcclark8681]

ninjasupersport - Yep he was AWESOME!!!!! #33 the PIP.

[@pobringkabos6177]

yeah pip was awesome

[@Curtchrisdagod]

FACTS

[@williebcoolcool3759]

Indeed Pippen was hell on wheels in those Bulls day’s one of the best teams ever assembled period

[@vincentralph3348]

9:23 rodman got hit by longley with an elbow on the face and rodman slaps his butt and was like "yeah! that's how you do it man!"...rodman is a guy you want to be on your team and not the guy you play against with...

[@evaburnz]

so true, hate or love character

[@dice1331]

Rodman probably gave Longley some pointers when rebounding.

[@jpogigtxcr1778]

Off night for MJ? No problem, Ron Harper and Toni Kukoc can take his place. And Pippen will continue to do his thing.

[@alexlindsey6446]

BEAUTIFUL play beginning at 7:50min mark with Jordan finding Rodman cutting to the basket & squeezing in a reverse layup plus the foul. AWESOME!

[@Fripitto]

7:48 - 8:02 Rodman totally controlled that sequence. First he grabbed the rebound, then gave the outlet pass for a quick break, which didn't work. As a trailer, he sets up the offense again, and once he gives the ball back to MJ he knew he was gonna get that backdoor pass, and he finishes the play AND gets the foul. Most of the time, people don't realize how much court vision this guy had. HALL OF FAME

[@joseberroa4935]

I remember this game.. wow.. great memories..

[@Fripitto]

9:26 Gotta love Rodman. One of a kind.

[@NathanKJohnson]

Scottie could just pull up for 3's with ease.

[@bcclark8681]

Mason on the PIP? What a joke. What the hell was New York thinking? (Unstoppabulls). Jordan and Pippen best one two punch ever!!!

[@boogieloo1831]

BC Clark - and Mason was a great defender and overall player with serious size and strength. He gave Hakeem Olajuwon fits in the Finals and was a legit defender of the 2-5 positions.

[@zylzyl3823]

PiP Mr All Around ....... That title says it all ..

[@Aerochalklate]

Longley and Rodman made me laugh

[@geronjenkins18]

The Bulls basically went 88-13 in the 1995-1996 Season( Including The Playoffs) LMAO!

[@buellerferris]

The nba in general was so much better back then. I miss the NBA on NBC. I miss the TBS games as well.

[@fitofito1001]

Pippen was the best player in NBA from 1994 to the 1st half of 1996

[@andydufresne87]

+fitofito1001 Hakeem Olajuwon dude...

[@KingTsuki]

No bro

[@Hakim24x]

Best all around player yes, a BEAST ! from 1 on 1 defense to team defense to full court press, defending 5 positions, fast breaks, rebounds and steals, blocks, passing, scoring. And they say LeBron is a all around player just because he holds the ball 80% of the 48 minutes lol

[@boogieloo1831]

Laughable. MJ and it's not even close. So much revisionist nonsense today. I watched the entire era and MJ was still by far the best as soon as he came back from retirement. If MJ didn't play the last 17 games of '95 when he dragged a losing Bulls team to a 13-4 record and into 5th or 6th place, they could have ended up in last place or even out of the playoffs. And MJ was by far the most complete player ever. He was the total package on offense and was the best wing defender in the game. Watching highlights is the most deceptive thing ever and you can never know what happened by watching them.

[@iamtman1]

Pip was my fav player even recognizing MJ the goat. From 94--first half 96 I would agree the most complete player Pip, but Olajuwon more dominant which is weighed more when mvp awards are considered which is why Hakeem got it in 94.

[@jeannoel4535]

mane toni kukoc underated !

[@Hero-3]

Jean Noel nah, he would’ve flamed out on any other team.

[@BrutallyH0nest]

I liked the defensive clips. Pippen could "D" up positions 1-5 when the time called for it.

[@adamfitzgerald911]

The Bulls ten losses in order: @ Orlando 88-94 @ Seattle 92-97 @ Indiana 97-103 @ Denver 99-105 @ Phoenix 96-106 @ Miami 104-113 @ New York 72-104 @ Toronto 108-109 @ Charlotte 97-98 Indiana 99-100 8 of those losses under 10 points 3 losses by 1 point

[@Wis_Dom]

Jordan may been a little cold early this game,but what you don't see is Jordan doing everything else defensively. Also he was hot all that year, he's entitled.

[@MarkDarnell]

This games proves how great the 96' Bulls were. This was a competitive game. Jordan was off the 1st half and didn't find his shot until the end of the 3rd. Pippen was the Poinr Foward and scorer, while the wings hit big threes, then you got the intangibles of Rodman on the boards. Too many winners and defensive geniuses on one team to beat them in a 7 games series.

[@beautifullion69]

20 rebounds on his first game back from an injury? #Rodman

[@elef003]

you don't fucking see this shit anymore. you just don't. i don't care how many "superstars" you have on your team, they don't play 1/4 as hard as these guys did. they mixed amazing entertainment with pure domination in a creative and artful way

[@clale1977]

furious comeback!!

[@mgreen27]

Amayzing. I know Jordan was the obvious leader of the team but Scottie Pippen was the perfect compliment to Jordan. Without Scottie Michael would have won a championship but I just don't see him winning 6 without Pip. I also have to say if you were a Knicks fan 1990-2004 it was a good time to be a Knicks fan. Man I miss this area of NBA ball.

[@mariom-1172]

Pippen was another one of those rare players that could play every position if needed to. He's top 20 of all time for sure...

[@kidistight]

I need to look if they have a DVD on this, I think NBA coaches should use this as a mark for there team to strive for. In this game you see that everyone had been practicing outside of the game, they made their shots, and they played defense. If ever there was similarity to a 16-0 season in football this is it. Jordan took the backseat while Pippen was on the floor because he knew he could score whenever. Another sign of a great player, textbook definition of a great team in rhythm.

[@Maal7432]

Lol, Scottie rarely had a bad game Vs The Knicks.

[@Maal7432]

[@raarmaargaar]

@wszq13 People expected Rodman to get furious, but he loved it because Longley finally getting a li'l bit agressive... Loved that part :p

Great upload...The only GREAT thing that the NBA STILL HAS is the coverage of Turner Sports. However, it would be cool if TBS returned to airing NBA games, using either the 1984-88 theme or the November 1995-January 2000 theme.

[@rattlehead54321]

@elef003 agree

[@ELdarkVICTORY]

After watching this video, Jordans fadeaway was so perfect, I really believe he could get his shot off against Lebron. Jordan wouldnt have to alter his game all that much in a 1 on 1. Jordan was a great and smart defender, I think in a 1on1 Lebron would have to rely on an inferior jump shot more often

[@samurai331]

@fridogg I'm pretty sure Phil wasn't out there physically battling a tough Knicks team, and knocking down big shots at the end of the game

[@Amir883]

As great as the 1995-96 Bulls were, I'd still take the 1991 Bulls over them.

And he never even won a single game without either Orlando Woolridge, Charles Oakley, Brad Sellers, Paxson, Grant, Cartwright, BJ Armstrong, Pippen, Kerr, Kukoc, Longley, Wennington, Stacey King, Hodges, James Edwards or John Salley on his team. Can't believe he even made the Hall of Fame.

That's how defense is supposed to be played. The game is so pussified these days with ticky tack touch calls it's pathetic. Imagine if the Spurs could have controlled Rodman. A frontline of David Robinson and Rodman would have been sick if they could have kept that team together.
