Finally got part 2 up!! - Sport
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
Damn, Magic had no help. Had Big Game James not gotten injured it would have been a more competitive series.
More surprising lakers got past the trailblazers.
Worthy and Scott left the series at the end of the 3rd quarter in game 4, with the Lakers down by 16. WITH Worthy and Scott, the Lakers were still going to be down 3-1 in the series.
Had Worthy and Scott not been injured, they may have won this game, but they were not winning the 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

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

Yes it is ❤
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.
The whole lakers team was injured
No question and no doubt about it the denis Rodman is an amazing fun player to watch the dude is...LEGEND
Rodman isn't play in this 91 bulls team😅😅😅
thnak for the post man, i can sit and watch the 90' nba the whole day .today nba is more like and1 basketball too much flop, too much step, too much soft
Scottie scored 25 he was the best player in this series with all around game
Are you smoking crack? Michael Jordan was definitely the best player in this series. Just stop. The guy averaged 31 points per game 11 assists and over 6 rebounds on 56 percent SHOOTING!! And he was 50% from 3! Stop please!!
Must be a troll
I totally agree
@@bettycazeau496 u definitely ain't watch this series
Only because Mike allowed him to be the best , it's obviously clear how intent the Lakers were to contain Mike .
paxson had no nerves
I was 10 years old when they won their first ring. I remember watching this game. They dominated the playoffs that year.
Yes sir, Real Live Early 80s baby here also - we were blessed to be able to witness and understand what was going on when we were 8 , 9 , 10 years old during this era - then being able to go into our teenage years as the Bulls dominated - but it really sucked in 1994 and 1995 when MJ retired - the Major League Baseball went through a strike around 1993 or 1994 - those were some tuff years for us young sports lovers - but the 49ers and Cowboys held it down with that rilvery in the early 90s - Mike Tyson knocking folks out in 90 seconds - man those were the days
@@Puzzlefan30 👍🏾 you are right - and I don't know what this is nowadays, but it definitely isn't the NBA - they need to change the name of the league or something - (no defense, 5 players standing around the 3 point line shooting 3's all game, no true Big Men roaming the paint, can't remember the last time I saw a offensive player back the defender down bumping and grinding) - just sad how weak the league is now - how the hell can't a team be up by 15 points at the end of the first quarter, down by 15 at halftime, back up by 12 with 8 minutes left in the fourth quarter, then loose the game 18 points 🤷🏾♂️ - I don't know what type of basketball and defense these guys are playing but it dam sure is not what I was raised up watching - College Football is headed in the same direction - I love College Football and never watch the NFL - but it is turning into the same thing - I hate when a running back runs out of bounds without contact, and could have picked up 3 more yards but chooses to avoid the contact - Not Derrick Henry tho - defenders don't have to look for him, because he is looking for them 🤣
Our first ring..Thanks MJ!!
Shout out to the Chi🫡
Los mejores Juegos..!
Look what i loved was Mj playing against his two best friends from College Sam and James and jordan got the best of them!!
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.
They did the math. “Expected value per shot” took over. Doesn’t make it a more enjoyable game tho. The Simpsons did a “moneyball/metrics makes it boring” on baseball episode. Coulda done basketball too
Even though this series only went 5 games it was still entertaining. It was great seeing Michael vs. Magic.
Glad a video like this is out there because somehow all these people think scottie pippen guarded and shut down Magic for 5 games,lol.
Obviously MJ guarded and hawked Magic too.They both did.
Except MJ did that and put up 31pts,11ast,6reb per game,shot 55.8% from the field and exactly 50.0% from ‘he can’t shoot 3s’.
Oh I know...From the first tip of game 1 to the last fg attempt by Magic in the series (which was blocked by MJ) he was guarding Magic.
But people worship that clip of Scottie defensive sliding guarding Magic bringing the ball up...ssso I gave both credit to close off any possible nitpicking MJ haters.
People try so hard to prop Scottie up to upper echelon all-time great player which he was NOT.

Waoo pero como Michael Jordan no hay nadie en el mundo
What made jordan and pipen so special THEY PLAYED DEFENSE AS HARD AS OFFENSE A RARE COMBINATION EVEN TODAY
NEbody else notice that MJ bounces the ball "6" times before he shoots at the line???(key word/number: "6").... No? Watch, and pay attention, this time!!....
"6" is your lucky number, today😉🙃
This was just the beginning of the 90’s. Bulls dynasty.
The dethroning of an old King and the emergence of a new one . The glory days of the NBA.

These two make Lebron look like an absolute clown
I love Phil Jackson
When the NBA played defense.
The look on Magics face seems like he knew the bad news already....🤷🏽♂️
Magic played all 48 minutes in what would be his final NBA game until 1996. I leaped over the Lakers bench just before the buzzer sounded and gave him a gentle pat on the arm as I ran past him to join the celebrating Bulls. If this video had been just twenty seconds longer, I'd have appeared prominently amidst Jordan, Pippen, Horace Grant, and John Paxson who gave Jordan a piggy back ride off the court, lol. The back of Michael Jordan's jersey was soaked.
Paxson is the man for this win.
People usually only mention Paxson's three pointer against the Suns in '93 when talking about him, but he was absolutely clutch in all three finals, shooting 59% combined for those three finals. As clutch of a shooter as there could be.
I really miss these days 😢
Know its different game today but always amazed me back then no matter the what playoff series how most games were under 100 points...think they actually played defense back then
46:23... Remarkable over the shoulder backwards bank shot by Michael Jordan. Too bad it didn't count. 🏀
I'll always remember watching this game and appreciating how, after the Lakers had pulled within two with a minute left and everyone in the world expecting MJ to take the clutch shot, he proved what a great fundamental and team player he was by passing off the drive to the hot man for the open shot (48:36).
Magic Johnson don't have no showtime without Kareem! Retired 2 years early! Jordan Kareem would been great serious Cooper was there either!

The style of play from 1991 to 2023 is unreal. The 90s- back to basket type play, mid range shots, more driving to the basket. 2023 more 3pts, more spacing, less defense
90s style easily more challenging vs jacking up endless 3s. These lil weaker guards like Curry and trae young would struggle to defend anyone.
@thebigrob45able well I wouldn't go as far saying Curry and Trae would have problems. I think those guys would fall into small group of the exception. But overall, l like the more physical play of the 90s
@@jcorey68 they would still be solid players not superstar or all time great status. Playing defense in the post consistently is stressful I've never seen Curry or trae young play any defense cause they don't have to. Remember that's what made small guys like mugsy and spud Webb special.
@thebigrob45able true however, looking Steph he's gain strength over the years so in a different era he would have held up well in the 90s with that style of play. And honestly, he's the greatest shooter I've ever seen. And i can go back to Dr. J.
@@jcorey68 from how weak and fragile when he first came in the league he definitely has gotten stronger still a lightweight at 6'3. Not debating he is the greatest shooter look at the great shooters in the 90s miller, rice, Richmond, throw in his daddy dell none dominated the game. The rules and style of play wouldn't allow it plus those guys had to play full iso defense on a routine basis. This era with zone defenses you can hide guys like Curry, trae young, and the Duncan Robinsons.

John Paxson takes over in the fourth quarter
At the 47:25 mark of this video you see Magic Johnson standing up following a timeout. Just over his left shoulder you can see a young guy wearing a black Nike tank top who notices Magic and quickly takes his picture. That's me!
Chicago Bulls beginning to celebrate. 🏆🍾🧢

Great series and great game. The bulls were just too athletic for the slower lakers. Also the injuries caught up with LA. Too many key players gone, or it would have made for a more interesting series
I don't see where the Lakers were slow. It seems like they were running fast breaks most of the time. They probably got tired but they played hard on both sides.

Jordan. Pinnacle.
Jeez this game is so much more entertaining to watch than today's NBA where it just stand around and shoot 3
damn ... what if byron scott and james worthy played the whole series
shit mj always gets doubled team wow basketball looks so much more entertaining back then.
46:24 Whistle blows, MJ's like, F it, tosses it over his shoulder - and it goes in!
As a Bulls fan, I was hoping they would lose this game so they could win the title at home in game 6. I knew they were the better team.
That was a good game
46:27 M.Jordan woow
Yup.
There isn’t a player on this earth that could Stop Michael Jordan from Scoring 1 vs 1
Thats the truth
That's the great play to my best NBA player goat Michael Jordan .
I watched somewhere that after losing to Detroit in game 7 ECF back in 1990, most of the Bulls' players were back in the gym a week after. That was a great Bulls team and one heck of a playoffs run. Eventually winning the first of six chips.
i bet Chicago Bulls $999 trillion
This was when the best players played defense against the other teams best..... for the entire game. Not just the last 3 minutes i.e. labron
im a bulls fan.. and i LOVED this... . their first ring
No Kareem, Worthy, Cooper...no chance.
0:30, oh man that was sweet 🏀
CArtwight was always a clean player, as i remember!
Michael Jordan My favorite 💞💞😘😍 everyday only 😍
Fin del estilo y era de los años ochenta e inicio de la era jordan y los noventa la mejor época del baloncesto ❤
A bit off-topic perhaps, but you can really hear the voice of Lakers P.A. announcer Lawrence Tanter the background throughout this video. While I'm not exactly a Lakers fan, I've long considered Tanter the best in the business (SHOUT-OUT to him).
While that '91 series was already his 10th season, he's still going strong today. His smooth cadence and baritone voice still sounds the same and is "way more cool" than the rest... many who sound like they're free-falling w/out a parachute (overdoing the "enthusiasm").
Yes, you really can hear him as well as that classic Forum "dun, dun, da da da dun" from the band when the visitor has the ball. All arenas used to have unique but not overbearing sounds. Nowadays it's non-stop music as soon as the ball goes up.
Critics of Jordan being the greatest have referred to him winning his 1st championship against Magic Johnson on the downside of his playing abilities.. if 16pts, 11 rebs, 20 assists triple double in this game is his downside??? They crazy!
After years of getting close MJ closed the deal!!! 🐐
Anyone noticed 26:36: this game took place in 1991???
This was a re-play like 20 years later.
Lakers ain't the same team without Kareem!
This series despite the hype Magic vs Jordan was a disappointment. I think Portland would have made this series more interesting. It was Magics last harrah being in the finals. Sad to watch.
Those players from Lakers missed open looks and uncontested 3s but you will hear people say the 90s defense was something else. Stop the exaggeration
Best ! Ever Finals Game !
Good game
Ahhhh three things: 1.Tex Winter was just CHILL like Winter 2. when arenas were arenas and not named after insurance companies or airlines 3. PaX was the X-Factor
In 1991 the Lakers home arena was known as The Great Western Forum. Great Western Bank bought the naming rights in 1988.
They can't beat my idol he's the best player of all time
This is the problem with deviding the league in half more often than not the finals are more or less a sweep. Totally sad to watch.
90 was a great years of nba now this days nba suck
90's NBA
imagine if stephen curry here , moving without the ball and shot at half court
Curry cannot survive the physicality back then
@@elmotv5481 cap🤣🤣🤣these players are way better now. Just quit.
Refs were so bad back in this day.. now that I think of it, they still are and instant replay confirms it..
Lakers were scored on the opponent guy would take the ball and casually let it go to on side. Officials would sprint to ball and pass it to Lakers to start the break. The Lakers had a 7th man. Once it was Michal Thompson klays dad 6'10 coming off bench avg was25 26 a game. Then Mc adoò and they Eve had Dantley for a year or two. They had guys who were top scorers in last 5 ⁸ years coming off the bench.
What team drafted Sam Bowie ahead of Michael Jordan? I forget which team it was but it was a very costly error in judgement.
Portland
Now I know where nba 2k got the commentary algorithm from
Why didn't Pippin win MVP of the series he was the best player on the floor
Thanks Marv Albert for that Horace and Harvey Grant fact
Marv Albert was just annoying to me. Nothing but the facts.

I remember watching and following this series, at the time I was glad for the Bulls but now I realize that they just beat a hobbled, worn out Lakers team without Worthy at full strength.
Like the Lakers with a cakewalk in west. Meanwhile you had the Celtics, 76rs and Bucks playing in semis. Then whoever played bucks were in a 6 game dogfight. Then a 7 game series. 2 3 days later they are playing in LA with the Lakers having played 7 8 days ago.

mj is looking ready omg
No one thought about no Jordan, without Scottie.
