    Marv Albert announcing an NBA game, especially on a Sunday afternoon, is the best

    I remember this game, watching with my Dad in our Chicagoland home and he commented " They did it" sweet
  • @sonnydee1547
    Scottie scored 25 he was the best player in this series with all around game

    Damn, Magic had no help. Had Big Game James not gotten injured it would have been a more competitive series.

    Random considerations) - only watching whole games you realize how good of a PG Magic was ...definitely the best ever, and it's not even close. It's not only about assists nor his height; he just had it. Take Magic+4, and you reach at least the Finals - I didn't remember Michael still a bit unripe in 1991 ... Some of the usual great moves, but many situations badly read and that dump travelling with 1:30 left in the game - only watching whole games, you realize the importance and the quality of Pippen. That being said, he used to kill games only in the 2nd or 3rd periods, when teams started rotations of the squad and the tension was released a bit. Never ever do I remember Pip marking the difference in the 4th periods; never was he able to take shots with the defenses well places in the crucial moments. That marks all the difference between him and the all time greats, and that's why Phil choosed Kukoc for the last shots the year in which there wasn't Michael. - as a teenager from Italy supporting MJ since 1989, I wished Lakers could score every action in this game .... with Scott and Worthy out for injury, the game risked to be a massacre. Instead, Campbell and Smith made the game of the life, keeping it alive. But the sensation was always the Bulls could escape away in every moment - Paxson literally won 2 of the first decisive three championship matches for Chicago. His 3 pointer in Phoenix in 1993 is historically underrated. - Chicago's longs battery in the first 3peat was kind of an Addams Family ....Perdue, Williams, Livingstone, Cartwright could barely play in Europe, in middle rank teams. I don't remember why Horace Grant was so little used by Phil Jackson in this game - impressive that Magic lost his 5 last Finals games at home, and 8 out 9 in total - this series, anyway, was tighter than what it seems .....Lakers won game 1, so that there was much pressure in game 2 for Chicago. In game 3, only a very tight Jordan 's buzzer beater avoid Chicago the defeat; and we have seen this one without Byron and Worthy. As I said earlier, take Magic +4 ... Anyway, we all knew Bulls were going to win, and they knew it too. It was just in the air, that gave them that confidence. - overall .... this is so iconic❤ It's now 33 years ago, incredible. We still remember everything. Incredible. Also the colours matching of the two teams was perfect. The electricity in the air, the vibe, the sense of history we could breathe. Those years were just different
  • I was 10 years old when they won their first ring. I remember watching this game. They dominated the playoffs that year.

    Great Game,MJ and Pippen were amazing !!! Thanks for Posting !!!!
  • @ronaldsmith6871
    Look what i loved was Mj playing against his two best friends from College Sam and James and jordan got the best of them!!
  • @douglasseeley9157
    They hardly ever shot 3 pointers. It's amazing to think this was 32 years ago. Maybe I'm old fashioned but I still see the sense in taking shots closer to the basket more often.
  • @peterclune3759
    Too have paxson on fire and almost always unmarked down the stretch was gold. Without pippen or Jordan , paxsons shots would have been so much tougher
  • @JK-br1mu
    This game (and maybe the series) feels like the Lakers have to do everything right just to stay even with the Bulls, while the Bulls can pull away whenever they're on top of their game.
