The Night Jordan-Pippen-Rodman Taught a Life Lesson to a Young NBA Team

Dennis Rodman's going toe-to-toe with the towering 7-foot-7 Gheorghe Muresan, and you bet it's an eye-full. Jordan's not slacking either, flipping the script with a killer 4th-quarter rally. And Pippen? Well, he's just being Pippen - swooping in when it counts and saving the day. And our buddies from Washington? They're getting a front-row seat to a Bulls masterclass, picking up some serious life lessons along the way.

Chicago's three headed monster with the Apex predator at the helm were simply Unstoppable! You have to be crazy not to love 90s basketball!

[@johnmatthews955]

Also in that 3 peat Luc Longly had some huge screening plays opened up some big holes for the big 3 many times with his big frame 7.3ft and taking 2 defenders with him add some nice space passing than Kerr or mr workrate he was everywhere MJ and SP wanted him to be and consistently what a starting 5 .

[@The.Governator]

@@johnmatthews955 I agree! The Bulls had a lot of firepower from the starting 5 to the second unit and they had solid chemistry as a basketball club...this imo is what made them stand out from the league.

95-98, I was a Bulls fanatic, Rodman being my favorite. I never missed a game in those days. TNT, TBS, NBC and all the NY and NJ channels. Any Bulls games from that period I missed, I paid to see later. Just so entertaining to watch. My Grandfather and I would meet up and discuss the games the next day. Then the Bulls broke up, my Grandfather died and I never watched a game again. Destroyed my love of the game.

[@jenniferbmendezful]

Right,…after Jordan I have never watched another new full game without him. I sure do enjoy these KZbin videos of these hall of famers.

[@bernardbeen4551]

Anyone else notice why Weber was really mad when receiving his sixth foul? Watch Rodmans right foot as he goes down taking the charge.

[@rhaxeedo]

I watched this series coz i was a fan of the webber-howard tandem. I seriously thought they could beat the bulls. They lost, but hey, that was the slimmest average margin of any playoff team against the mighty bulls.

Mannn, that Bullets squad put up a fight. I thought for a minute the Bulls were about to take their first opening round loss in a while

[@gijoey5912]

Craziest stat (in my opinion) about the Bulls 6 championships in the 90s is they never lost a single first round game in any of those championship seasons. This was one of the closest ones for sure. This was a hell of a game.

3:44 Steve got crossed up what

[@Oldskoolbball]

yup, Strickland made him to do it

[@Daveyboy_GolfR]

I'm a major Jordan fan, but there's an error here. At 13:07 TNT says MJ averaged 42 PPG / 7.5 RPG shooting 57% for the series. It even says he's the oldest player to ever average over 40 in a playoff series. But I remember this series, and I remember Jordan goin for 29 in game 1, 55 in game 2, and 28 in game 3 averaging 37.3 for the series. I'm normally the last person to ever discredit anything Jordan did, but after doing my research, he did average 37.3/5.7/5.3 And he did shoot 57%, also going 15/15 from the line. I wonder why TNT would make a mistake like that, and even include the fact that he's the oldest player ever to average over 40 in a playoff series when he actually averaged 37.3 for the series. I was hoping I was wrong cuz averaging 42 PPG for the series sounds better than 37.3 but if someone wants to correct me, please do

[@evaburnz]

Your integrity through prudence is admirable and provides stellar credibility.

[@numsie9400]

It's simple. When they made the statement, game 3 was still in progress. The commentators had no idea what Jordan would score at the end of the game. They could only go off the average of the first two games. That's how they got 42 pts.

[@Daveyboy_GolfR]

@@numsie9400 Nice... That sounds pretty reasonable.

[@SunfoodWarrior]

why the reference to Pippen in another game..unnecessary shade throwing

[@jasonic-ks2tm]

I believe Washington coaching was to blame as well. Too much of the offense was around Strickland. Washington was much better than expected

[@bolebole161]

No, it was not. Strickland was just that good as a point guard. Webber, Howard and Muresan always had priority. It took Chris Whitney a few years to really get his bearings in the league as a point guard. The drop off in 1997 was noticeable. The refs did Webber dirty.

6:37 Murray's drive and dunk here was epic: *faked out Jordan at the arc *proceeds to drive to the rim and breezes by Kukoc in the process *dunks it in Pippen's face after finishing his drive with a leap off his weaker planting right foot as a right-handed player Seriously beast mode play right there.

When does Pippen not get credit for what he did? Maybe if he won a MVP, FMVP or DPOY he would be talked about more. But Pippen has always gotten credit. If anything he has been overhyped recently.

@sideshowbobsaget8876 you don't have to agree with my opinion it's cool. I however think that he doesn't get enough appreciation.

[@sideshowbobsaget8876]

@winstonelliton2586 you said credit originally. Pippen gets his credit, acting as if he doesn't, is weird. Pippen gets more praise than McHale, Dumars, Stockton, Worthy, etc. Most players from the previous Eras are less appreciated. Even players greater than Pippen like Moses, Robinson, Stockton, etc.

[@Weight27]

@sideshowbobsaget8876 that's bad if they don't I was very sure Moses was greatly credited for 4-4-4. Isn't Mchale apart of one of if not the greatest teams ever and Stockton was an awesome point guard. I don't remember forgetting or discrediting any of them.

Finally completed this feature. “Life lesson” is a bit overboard. Court lesson maybe, but not life. Chicago went all the way to the Title, the franchise’s fifth and second of the second three-peat. Washington returned to the Playoffs nine years after this series. Within that span, they traded the young core, gained national attention because of MJ’s second and last comeback, then the signing of Gilbert Arenas and his immediate stardom. Fast forward upon this comment, Chicago are Playoff contenders while Washington is back in the doldrums (er, rebuilding mode).
