FuShengAlex That's true, but not the entire unfolding of events. In 95, jordan had just come back and was extremely rusty. Houston was a western conference powerhouse from 93 to 98. From that span of years, the bulls made the finals 4 of the six years. Once Jordan reached the apex of his talents again after the first retirement, the Bulls had total supremacy of the NBA. They beat the Jazz and the Sonics. Those were two teams Houston could not get by in the western conference playoffs. In 94, Houston won, but jordan was retired. In 95, houston won but jordan played too few games during the season and was rusty. In 96, jordan was fully back in old form and the bulls went 72-10. Houston borrowed the throne for two years basically.
@@HockeyNationHDThey decided to upgrade the logo and unis before they won the first title. It was already in motion and they couldn't back out of the change. The NBA had already spent money making the changes.
The Bulls beat the Rockets here 98-87....wasn't particularly hard for them to do and MJ didn't have to play very hard. I understand when people say the 94 and 95 Rockets were matched up perfectly to beat the First Three-Peat Bulls....but The 96' Bulls would have smashed any version of The Rockets in the 90s.
Really dumb decision by management. No defending champion ever changed their court and their unis - let alone to something so ugly. They deserved the sweep the Sonics handed to them.
@@pastoryoutube6682 i think kobe was only good because he was drafted by the lakers, had a veteran shaq on his team, was coached by phil jackson, and hung out with MJ. Personally i think Penny Hardaway was a better player.

Someone wanted to know the outcome of an hypothetical final between these two teams in the 90s? How the Bull would have guarded The Dream? Who between Pippen and Horry would shut down the other one?... Click on play, you'll get an idea.
To be fair, the Bulls had a bad game, especially MJ. They could have played MUCH better. In this game, Drexler was outplaying MJ but remember what happened in the 1992 Finals.
The Rockets here weren't quite the same team from a few years prior, before Drexler was there they were the West Knicks with better floor spacing. This version of the Rockets played at a tempo more similar to most of the other West teams and they didn't really have a PF.
Jordan is just FURIOUS at Longley at 9:10; would love to have a microphone for that one, had this been practice it would've turned into another Will Perdue story
The Bulls never had a good big man besides H. Grant. Their best post players were Jordan and Pippen, they would of struggled against the Rockets in the Finals.
And they didn't care because they had answers for everyone else. Houston had no answer for the bulls just like every other team . Why the bulls went 6-0 in finals not my opinion those are facts
So Basically since there wasn't a way to stop the Dream and Clyde, the Bulls had to simply score more points, so they started shooting 3points with Kukoc, Kerr and even MJ and Pippen, similar strategy of the current NBA.
Blah, Blah, Rockets this, Rockets that. The Bulls went to the finals that year, *WHERE WERE THE ROCKETS?!* Bulls were waiting for them, but The Sonics showed up lol!
Not sure whose bright idea it was in the Rockets organization to re-brand a back-to-back championship winning team with these awful jerseys and the trying way too hard, collegiate looking floor design, but they certainly lost a lot of their edge in doing so. How can you take a team seriously when it has an anthropomorphic rocket on its jersey? As a lifelong Bulls fan, those Houston jerseys thru 1995 were damn iconic.
Why we compare a role player to marquee players with rings? Lol when we talk “rings” we talk about the players who lead teams to rings either 1st or 2nd options on championship teams
Fyi, Michael Jordan or Scottie Pippen never lost in the finals either. They are both 6 for 6. Please get your facts right. & the only reason Robert Horry won all of those was because he was on teams with all of those superstars. He, himself was an average player. Horry wasn't even in the top three best players for any of the teams he played for. Most of the time he wasn't even a starter! I like Horry but he was average at best & never would've won if he wasn't lucky enough to be on teams with All-Stars. There's alot of average & less than average players who have rings whereas great players like Patrick Ewing, Charles Barkley, Reggie Miller, Dominique Wilkins, Steve Nash & Alan Iverson all don't have any rings. But that doesn't mean a mediocre player like Horry is better than them or anywhere near as good! He made big shots at times but he was overall average. He was just an average player who lucked out by getting to be on teams with All-Stars. It's easy to get rings that way. Like how Steve Kerr has 5 while all time great players Karl Malone, John Stockton, Dikembe Motumbo & Charles Barkley have none. 🏀😞

Robert Horry never lost in the Finals either like Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen yet he has more rings 7 than their 6. If he wanted to he could rub it in their faces because its facts!
The Rockets didn't have Thorpe at this point Chucky Brown/Mark Bryant was at the PF spot and Mario Elie who often was on the floor in the 4th quarter didn't play this game. The Bulls only started pulling away when Cassell had to guard Pippen towards the end of the game.
Eduardo Mansilla Hahaha 😂 just listen to Vernon Maxwell stating that Houston never lost with him part of the team, which is a historical fact. Just focus on the details and historical records and you might realize that this particular team was really unbeatable!!!
@Ulysses432 Just refer to Vernon Maxwell's statements which are 100% truth. No need to mention that most of you “forget” that while Larry Bird was around Chicago could only dream participating in the finals. Of course I loved the Bad Boys too...
Ulysses432 It is not all players that managed to play for many years at the top level. There are a few who reached that level only for a short term but for the ones who were fortunate enough to see them they were simply amazing. Mahmoud Abdul Rauf was another one. The rest of you can keep on watching and admiring Dennis fouling every single opponent with no real consequence. But never forget that basketball is an athlema and not a marketing promo activity (which currently is)...

Let's not forget the Sonics beat the Rockets to get to face Chicago! But according to alot of fanbases the Sonics weren't anything special
now you are saying that mj has a great center
Si Jordan no se retiran hilan 8 campeonatos esos rockets se aprovecharon de su ausencia
Damn Drexler was dusting Mike
Jordan has been dusting Drexler for years
@@courtneywhite6036 he did in the 92 nba finals.
Mike been dusting Clyde even in his dreams
Hakeem The Dream❤
No scoreboard in the 1996 😂
94 & 95 champion is destroyed by Chicago bulls easily 😂
The Rockets didn't have Thorpe at this point Chucky Brown/Mark Bryant was at the PF spot and Mario Elie who often was on the floor in the 4th quarter didn't play this game. The Bulls only started pulling away when Cassell had to guard Pippen towards the end of the game.
But, they didn't swept them, the other game, at the summit in 97.
Those ridiculous ass uniforms LOL
#33Pippen dominated!

Drexler is better than DWade imo
🐐 have bad days too
今のNBAより100倍面白い
MJ prin idol ko
Unbeatable Houston. Bulls were the best customers of Houston. Tricky Rodman could only watch the African Dream, Hakeem!!!
nick bente unbeatable Houston? What a joke lol just remember who won the championship that year !!😂
Eduardo Mansilla Hahaha 😂 just listen to Vernon Maxwell stating that Houston never lost with him part of the team, which is a historical fact. Just focus on the details and historical records and you might realize that this particular team was really unbeatable!!!
@Ulysses432 Just refer to Vernon Maxwell's statements which are 100% truth. No need to mention that most of you “forget” that while Larry Bird was around Chicago could only dream participating in the finals. Of course I loved the Bad Boys too...
Ulysses432 It is not all players that managed to play for many years at the top level. There are a few who reached that level only for a short term but for the ones who were fortunate enough to see them they were simply amazing. Mahmoud Abdul Rauf was another one. The rest of you can keep on watching and admiring Dennis fouling every single opponent with no real consequence. But never forget that basketball is an athlema and not a marketing promo activity (which currently is)...
Unbeatable? Bulls won this game and went on to win 3 straight championships.
91-93 bulls
94, 95 rockets (mj playing baseball)
96-98 bulls
99 san Antonio
2000 kobe and the lakers
Bulls in 6 lol maybe 5. Stop it.
Who won?
