@Dywane Carter You just completely made up almost all of your stats!!!!! Reggie Miller NEVER was a Champion, Has never been a MVP winner, And only made the all-star team 5 times!!!! WOW......
@Dywane Carter that literally doesn't make sense. Stop crying because i corrected your errors with facts. Nothing funny about lying on somebodies hard earned accomplishments. Reggie Miller is great enough with his original stats. He doesn't need you to lie on him to be one of the great!!! And since you repeated that garbage 5 other times on this post, it shows your character.
Thank you, Jalen. Only thing I didn't like about the Last Dance was that they really didn't talk about Ron Harper at all as a heavy contributor on the court.
@@alo.5141 heavy contributor to the Pacers? Edit: you meant for CHI, got it. Ron Harper was really good but it seems a lot of people forget about how good Jordan's teammates were.
@Michaelveli7 Casual, Harper was an all-time lockdown, aside playmaker and then some. He was great and falls short only if compared to the other HOFers that stacked that Bulls juggernaut, Pippen, Rodman and Kukoc.
@Michaelveli7 What an ignorant casual throughout, especially lashing out like a clown for getting destroyed on the topic. BULLS HARPER A SHELL OF HIMSELF?! Solid role player?! Kukoc not an HOFer?! You really don't have a clue if you find it ridicolous, you know who Toni Kukoc is or you will call a Euro and NBA legend a role player? Watch the games of those Bulls, blind nuthugger, you're missing out. Put the respect on the players winning those post season series.
@Polo Loco Thank you! Too many fake fans gas the rest of the Bulls up way too much. Harper was a solid role player that pretty much contributed on defense. When he wasn't banged up, he'd get about 10ppg but that's it. These dudes is acting like this is young Ron from Cleveland or LA. I'm sure they've never seen him before Chicago.
I think Mark Jackson makes a great point that players of the past had a bit more focus on basketball and winning at it whereas players of today are more well-rounded young men to their credit (life isn't all basketball).

And all in one Bulls team surrounding Jordan, and for a decade straight.
@Michaelveli7 Jordan nuthugger don't take away and disrespect the greats of the game for his sake (especially on a user that literally has the Jordan Nike brand for his profile picture, what are you aggressively responding to that for), watch basketball and check those MVP Kukoc, FMVP Pippen 1991 and FMVP Rodman 1996.
As great as Michael was and deserved the focus of the series, without just the right role players, this story has a different turn. The key shots at pivotal moments by guys like Paxon and Kerr and Kukoc cannot be overvalued. And then certainly without Scotty, none of it happens. So yes, MJ is the goat, but not just any group of players around him would have led to the same ending.
@Jamal Greasy Yes, but not like the greatest supporting cast like those Bulls HOFers juggernaut (probably the most near adaption of the 60s Russell Celtics in the modern era, and the KD Warriors superteam of course, though to me the Bulls were the Warriors of the 90s and the greatest teammates/team, not a superteam). And, especially, they get bashed for it by Jordan stans (who also think he was alone on the Bulls), because he gets to coast with the greatest teammates vs the weakest West competition of ganged up stars but all the other new or old great players got to carry and vs all-time competition.
It’s so funny how ppl talk about how 90s teams weren’t talented! No, players weren’t stacking the deck with 5 all star starters, but talent was there. That Pacers team was amazing and Reggie Miller was a cold assassin with ice in his veins🥶 Reggie could dominate the way this era is played.
Lol sorry but it is a shot at current player's. MJ himself said playing like he did everything will take care of it self. He's right these players are so worried about branding, they don't solely focus on the dam thing that gave them the brand.
I think part of the reason players aren't willing to die on the court nowadays is the fact that management has zero loyalty for their players and players are forced to look at basketball as working for part of a company rather than playing on a team
Michael made the Bulls 72-10 in the more physical and Big Boys era, while lebron so happy defeating the 73-9 Warriors and calling him the GOAT? No comparison.
Players like MJ..their greatness will not be denied..I remember that game 7 the pacers fought hard.but MJ is great. To me thats what separates MJ when compared to kobe or LBJ, their greatness was denied, great teams that had the mentality to win beat them...but MJ, Pippen and the Bulls....6-0
Also remember Chicago never played against the Showtime 80's Lakers, or the Celtics of the 1980's or the Sixers when they were powerful. Chicago benefited from playing against far weaker teams and competition
As a nervous Bulls fan who watched Game 7... I was READY to blast Scottie Pippen for selfishly delaying surgery which lead to him almost missing half of the 1997/1998 season and Jerry Krause for trading Jason Caffey further weakening the Bulls frontcourt (Caffey was no world beater but he would have performed MUCH better than Dickey Simpkins who SUCKED. Ķukoc and Kerr bailed the Bulls out combined with MJ keeping Reggie scoreless in the 4th quarter.
No disrespect to Steve Kerr and no Disrespect to Phil Jackson but Mark Jackson and Doug Collins went through the growing pains with those players and if they both would have stayed they would have won championships. Phil Jackson was a great communicator an motivator but he was blessed to get coaching jobs when players had went through growing pains and were more experienced and ready to go to another level. And Steve Kerr as a coach is just simply overrated.
Indiana is who makes me think the bulls would've beat the rockets. The rockets were very good, but the bulls willed their way past Indiana and Utah. Both of those teams were awesome. Those bulls teams were special to beat those teams.
Anyone else see parallels between mark Jackson almost getting the warriors to a title and Steve Kerr coming in and pushing them over the top? Championship dna blud
maybe it would be a bit different if NBA have let Jalen Rose played on game 5... he was punished for the very light mistake made in the basketball court which it seems not worthy of suspension...
Why do they always have to LeBron aftee calling MJ the greatest ever? Does that tell u something like if LeBron is not the greatest ever he doesn't even deserve to be mentioned u people contradict yourself without knowing
The Pacers never had a chance: Mark Jackson was a stationary point guard while Chris Mullin was too slow to be on the court. It's amazing when a team loses they have all this regret and the media acts like they are champions...they didn't win after #23 retired so the Pacers were a joke. Jalen Rose was too good to be on that team.
They went to 7 games and the games they lost were all really close...they went to the finals in 2000 and went 6 games with the lakers who were 67-15, probably Shaqs best year. Jalen rose was a bench player like tf u on
@@cmonnow6141 I'm talking about a championship level: In the documentary they acted like when they were up 3 with like 6 minutes left with a jump ball they had a shot to win... that shows the low mentality of the Pacers. Plus, 1994, 1995, 1998, 1999, 2000, and 2004 they had their shots to win but choked it up - Reggie Miller wasn't a good leader or even great; just underachieved. As far as the Pacers, why didn't they win in 1999 or 2000? I mean they had more experience than the Knicks or Lakers... get it done, right? It's about winning titles...instead that team choked and couldn't win and were NEVER a threat to Chicago (the Bulls had to make it seem that way because they too were weak)...but the Pacers should have had like 3 titles during that time - get that thing done in 1999 or 2000 or even in 1998, they could have won... look at that game 5... game 5 in 1998 showed us the Pacers were a joke... plus how the Pacers won their home games by little shows the Bulls were joking with them.
@Dennis The Comic Novel Monitor Nichols Did you watch that actual series? I was in my 20's during that time and nobody thought the Pacers could win because of how they won and how Chicago played them - the Bulls never took them serious.... See, here's what Jordan does, he tries to elevate himself by making weak competition look like great competition knowing they are no competition just to make himself look like he overcome some great daunting task while elevating guys on a low level like Ewing, Miller, Malone/Stockton... that's what Jordan does... but losing to the Pistons and Isiah Thomas 3 times while only winning 1 time... oh he hates Isiah due to not getting a handshake - stop it... so he makes the Knicks, Pacers, and Jazz look like they are daunting tasks when those teams were mentally weak like Jordan 10; those other teams 4... not even close.... Once he got past Detroit and the Pistons broke up that championship roster, it was all #23 and everyone else never knew how to win at a high level - now someone has to be in the NBA Finals vs. Jordan but those are the same guys that were losing in the first and second round when the Lakers, Celtics, and Pistons were competing for titles and then the Bulls came afterwards... so those Jordan - led teams were the best in their class of lower tier teams: Cleveland, NY, Indiana in the East and Portland, Houston, Utah, Phoenix, and Seattle in the West... those teams were mush when the Lakers/Celtics/Pistons were competing.
@@hairjordan2620 A good team, not a great team; a competitive team that couldn't handle pressure from a team just as good or better -- that's the Pacers.

@@FrankQuintanilla879 no his teammates bailed him out. Kukoc played good, Scottie Pippen came alive in the 4th quarter it was basically Reggie Miller and who else could make a shot. It's not like Indiana was the 1980's Celtics and Jordan willed them to a win Indiana was a good hard working team, not great not alot of all-stars but good for that time
I'm telling you, that series could have gone either way.i honestly thought the pacers were gonna win that game 7. MJ didn't really dominate that series like at all, he actually played pretty bad , it was more of a team effort than anything that got them over the pacers. That's why I've said it before and I'll say it again , if they wouldn't have broken up the team that year ,they most likely would not have won the next year and we would look at Michael jordan way different.its almost like it was destiny for that team to be broken up that year , that's what made michael jordan career so god like. And this is coming from a huge michael jordan fan.
All this BS narrative that indiana are the better team than the bulls are plain BS. They had a chance to win a tittle 98-99 season after MJ retired yet they choke east finals with knicks. Lol
He means MJ didn’t play video games and have a variety of different businesses that he was directly focused on. He focused on Basketball.......... (and Gambling)
I didn't watch a second of the last dance but know everything that already happened because I grew up in the 1990's. I'd much rather had a documentary about John Stockton, Reggie Miller and the other players during that era. What else was there to hear?
@@aris_mendez because what else is there to know about Jordan. We knew about horrace grant. We knew rodman went to Vegas. We knew the 80's NBA was all coke heads. There's plenty about other players we don't know.
You can have a killer conpetetive Mind set but with that said...it shouldn't be the most important Thing in life.Lebron said " what motivates him is his wife and children" To me, thats a goats mentality.
That's not a pure goat mentality tho, and having the true goat mentality means never giving up. Which Lbj and done a number of times when it mattered most.
They have to stop with that fake narrative about MJ being only focused on basketball. The man had commercial in every country on the planet and was also focused on gambling. Stop acting like he was training and playing basketball 24/7. There is a reason why he is a billionaire.
The Bulls were getting cooked by Reggie, Jalen and Mark. How are they suppose to “shut down” Steph, Klay and KD lmao. Warriors would’ve cooked the Bulls, don’t forget Draymond, Iggy, Livingston, West, Javale, Cook etc. that’s a really good supporting cast.
They had physical defense from their bigs is why that series was close. And Reggie is tougher than Klay, Steph, and KD mentally and physically. They have never in life tried to fight in an nba game
The R. Karl Malone did definitely and Shaq was young. Shaq in his prime would kill MJ. Magic faced him in his final year. None of them were as big and moved like Lebron. Lebron is as big and moves like a guard.

It’s patriots win the west back then they would beat anybody bar none
All this BS narrative that indiana are the better team than the bulls are plain BS. They had a chance to win a tittle 98-99 season after MJ retired yet they choke east finals with knicks. Lol
Then beat them them in 2000 to play the Lakers.
JALEN STILL A SALTYASS BISH
"Jordan didn't have video games (Jordan vs Bird), or tv shows (Pro Stars)"... Love ya Mark but you're wrong in that regard lol
He means MJ didn’t play video games and have a variety of different businesses that he was directly focused on. He focused on Basketball.......... (and Gambling)
almost dount count!!...cry me a river!!..
I didn't watch a second of the last dance but know everything that already happened because I grew up in the 1990's. I'd much rather had a documentary about John Stockton, Reggie Miller and the other players during that era. What else was there to hear?
You didn’t watch it that explains your response
You grew up in the 90s , so why you need to watch documentaries about other 90s players ? Trying to sound edgy but you sound corny.
@@aris_mendez because what else is there to know about Jordan. We knew about horrace grant. We knew rodman went to Vegas. We knew the 80's NBA was all coke heads. There's plenty about other players we don't know.
@@bryce_atkinson1598 yea because it was all old news. Nothing new.
Was
You can have a killer conpetetive
Mind set but with that said...it shouldn't be the most important
Thing in life.Lebron said " what motivates him is his wife and children" To me, thats a goats mentality.
That's not a pure goat mentality tho, and having the true goat mentality means never giving up. Which Lbj and done a number of times when it mattered most.
GOAT is for what you do on the court. And that’s MJ.
55th comment 🐆🐊🐋
Almost beating mj bulls???? Again ppl are mentioning mj witout pippen, rodman nd oh yea the greatest coach phil Jackson! Unreal!
You act like Phil was the best when they first got him. No one even knew who he was. Tex winter invented the triangle.
Chris Ross yes, it is MJ’s bulls
They have to stop with that fake narrative about MJ being only focused on basketball. The man had commercial in every country on the planet and was also focused on gambling. Stop acting like he was training and playing basketball 24/7.
There is a reason why he is a billionaire.
Lol okay and ?
Bc his play spoke for itself bruh. Who tf cares about commercials when he three peating?
Mark look paralyzed!
The Bulls were getting cooked by Reggie, Jalen and Mark. How are they suppose to “shut down” Steph, Klay and KD lmao. Warriors would’ve cooked the Bulls, don’t forget Draymond, Iggy, Livingston, West, Javale, Cook etc. that’s a really good supporting cast.
They had physical defense from their bigs is why that series was close. And Reggie is tougher than Klay, Steph, and KD mentally and physically. They have never in life tried to fight in an nba game
@@kristion9774 😂😂😂 OMG
Lebron would drive to the rim put his shoulder in 6’6 bald demar derozan chest and send him flying.
Y’all act like 260 6’9 Lebron wouldn’t destroy MJ.
You act like MJ wouldn't kill Lebron!
And so what if Lebron is bigger, Jordan was just as athletic, quicker in my opinion and definitely smarter on the court!
Castiel Jordan is not smarter than Lebron nor quicker. Stop it.
Le3-6 has played in a mickey mouse NBA era where you pass gas on the court and you get called for a foul.
The R. Karl Malone did definitely and Shaq was young. Shaq in his prime would kill MJ. Magic faced him in his final year.
None of them were as big and moved like Lebron. Lebron is as big and moves like a guard.
