I really like this version of Shaq. Athletic, can dribble, can shoot free throws decently...fun to watch. Also, it cracked me up how pumped Rodman would get after making a free throw 😂
Did you even watch 10 seconds of this video? They showed a stat where he was 37% in the playoffs and 25% in the series against Chicago...lol

If you mean someone that has to be less than 3 ft from the basket to make the shot then Shaq is athletic. He would never have won a championship at all without allstar players around him. IMO he's pathetic the way he bangs his body into the guard in order to get right under the basket.

My stepdad had tickets to this game and gave them away. I was pissed could of watched Michael, Pippen, Penny, and Shaq. I lived in Orlando at the time and was a huge Magic fan and was annoyed they lost. The Bulls were unstoppable that year though. Jordan was a cold blooded assassin.
I’m gonna call this performance the surgeon because as the game and series wore on Orlando starts strong and trails off, while the Bulls start quietly then build the defensive intensity. MJ cooking from about 18 feet all afternoon. Masterful performance to take the heart right out of Orlando which at the time was one of the loudest arenas. Thanks for the upload!
There were a lot of young teams back then who believed they can beat the Bulls by playing 1 or 2 quarters of good basketball. No. To beat the Bulls you need to play 4 quarters of good basketball. Chicago was great at adapting to any opponent, and then at the 4th qt the defense will suffocate you.
2:32:48 fun fact, Jordan intentionally missed his last two free throws so he would finish with 45 points. That's because the Magic's Nick Anderson disparaged Jordan the year before when he wore #45 by saying that “number 45 doesn’t explode like number 23 used to. Number 45 is not number 23". LOL
Hmmm? U sher? Some pple said he "purposely" let the sonics win games 4 and 5 so he could win it on father's day......but if u watch those games (particularly game 5) Jordan is very animated and upset when calls go against him...etc....very passionate about winning those games... All it takes is for him or pip to land funny and injure and then BOOM the series takes a terrible turn....
Hell to be honest I think Horace grant (who was the MVP of the '95 series between these two teams) wasn't injured for the whole series but knew Orlando didn't stand a chance .. lol
I loved watching the Shaq-Penny Magic back in the mid-90's. They were my favorite team. I was devastated when Shaq went to L.A., but he did win 3 titles there, and then a 4th with Miami. Seems like he made the right move for him. He might have won some titles in Orlando, but it's extremely difficult to imagine him winning more than the 3 he won as a Laker.
People were saying in 1996 that Orlando was supposedly going to give Chicago a run for their money. You had Shaq,Penny and Dennis Scott all series even if Horace Grant,Nick Anderson and Brian Shaw were injured still got swept. New York and Seattle did a better job of giving Chicago a run for their money at least winning a game or two.
Management was skeptical about giving Shaq a big contract then Shaq had a meeting with Jerry West during the Olympics and they came to a verbal agreement to sign with the Lakers and after that Magic was open to giving Shaq a big contract but by that time it was too late🤦
The straw that broke the camel's back was when Orlando had a poll for their fans: "Is Shaq worth $100 million??" and 85% said NO (which even back then I couldn't understand)
I remember game 4 like it was yesterday. Jordan absolutely buried the Magic, I believe Jordan scored 45 points in game 4. Jordan didn't let the Magic get any momentum, once he knew he could sweep them he made sure they died in the water. Just crazy!
its called the current soft era,championships no longer mean anything....jokic makes easy baskets and cant really jump .....if he was in the 80's or 90's......will not be a top big man
As a resident of Chicago at the time and obviously a Bulls fan, I liked the Magic and thought they were going to be a powerhouse in the following years. As a young team to already have gone to the playoffs and even a championship series I believe they could have been a great team and probably would have won at least a couple of championships if not more. But Shaq left so there went that potential.

Oh yeah Shaq could really make those shots as long as he's 2 ft from the basket. Pathetic.

Shaq was great at stacking up points just don't move him 1 foot from the basket and no one could move that body. Like trying to move a building.
Jordan wanted to make a statement in sealing the series with a masterpiece. He said it was a team vendetta like it was going against Detroit. Both series were clean sweeps 🧹.
i couldnt stand rodman...that being said....he is right there with the hardest working guys in the league ever. best rebounder i have ever seen and his defense especially with detroit was perfect. put him on lebron...put him on curry....they wouldnt have a prayer.
1:46:09 he just had a higher gear, here he starts and finishes the break. Even jordan said worm was only a little bit bigger than me but the most dominant forward/rebounder he ever saw. All heart and ability to go get the ball. Sonics definitely win in 96 sans worm.
What was great about these Bulls teams was they’d let the opponent Blow their load in the 1st and 2nd quarters and just chip away in the 3rd and by the end of the game the Bulls were up 20! Men playing against boys!
watch the sequence from 1:45:53 to 1:46:13 the greatest ever nails a shot...doesnt point to the sky...doesnt talk...just get back and plays smothering defense. im a Jazz fan. Im not biased. Jordan was the best and its not close.
MJ definitely missed the last two freebies on purpose to keep the 45 points 😂👌🏿 but I also love his emphasis on the collective team effort during the series in the post game interview
@@denigster Shaq was always "unstoppable" against slower footed players and while agile players were considered his kryptonite. Besides he was already built like a tank at this point look at his arms here.
He won one with Miami so ...wasn't all that bad decision....and Kobe talked Phil into coming back...besides if Shaq hadn't left idk if Kobe would have the legacy he wound up having. What he did between '06-'10 is what really created his legend.. MVP...scoring titles....finals MVPs....etc....
The Pistons had a good run there in the mid-2000s, even got a ring. Orlando and Charlotte never should've gotten NBA teams to begin with. They're too small to attract quality FAs and will never win.
G1 wasn't why the Magic lost the finals it the reason they were swept, even if the Rockets had lost it wouldn't have been a big deal to them they won plenty of times already in pressure situations.
MJ felt that he was humiliated when the bulls lost to magic in the 1995 playoffs. and so this sweep is a sweet revenge for MJ. like what MJ said in the short video - he failed a thousand times, that's why he succeed. succeed by always thinking that losing is a big motivation. many players now doesnt have that kind of mindset.
No wonder Shaq is the way he is today. He was so confident determined and meanwhile, the media seems to have been really hammering home how often they came up short. Time after time. Just a loaded era, nothing he could do. But man, he just could not hit free throws, that’s traumatizing for him.
back then ppl did not hype players up thirsting 4 the next superstar because there already was jordan. Today it seems that a few good games are enough so you are called a superstar. 😀
Was a bulls fan but Orlando was THE up and coming team. When MJ left they helped fill the void. Shaq and Penny were as exciting as it got. MJ coming back f’d that all up for Orlando.

I love this Magic team. But they were too confident because of their success against the Bulls in 95. It wasn't as competitive as it should have been for a ECF series. The Bulls especially those who were there in 95, were just itchin for payback.
@@ivanvillarruz8412 Well they were the defending conference champions they obviously were confident going into the series. However after Grant's injury in G1 they knew they had no chance of winning from that point on.

Oh yeah, and that's an understatement if anything. Some people couldn't even believe what they were seeing with MJ.
It was such a treat to see him play, love him or hate him.

But his peak years were done after he left the Lakers.

Well, the Magic did eliminate the Bulls the year before. So it wasn’t super far-fetched to think they would do it again.
How Orlando could just let Shaq walk away is one of the biggest organizational screw ups in history!
