@AILL You're right, MJ is the man, but i like how Reggie came at him and opened up space to get off his shot, that's what you're supposed to do. MJ would have done the same thing in the same situation, great players do what they have to do to win, and Reggie was a great player. What i liked about Reggie is he never backed down from any player or opponent, no matter who they we're, MJ,Magic,Bird,Kobe,whoever, and i respect that, i'm sure MJ does.
@jagy17 yeah i got that book, and you just proved my point, he made a commitment to his dad to play baseball and having his dad die made him feel like he needed to try to fullfill that, because it was almost like his dads last request
i remember watching this when i was 9 years old i was soo PISSED at reggie miller and the pacers and i hated them...but after MJ retired i grew to respect miller too
If reggie didnt push Michael, he would've got blocked, therefore Bulls wouldve won the game But still Reggie's aggressive play is what i liked about the play :) Reggie Miller = THE MAN!!!
@nitotech That one handed tap byJordan can be compared to that big ass two handed chuck from Miller. Yes.... they were both pushed. However,saying it's " 'Just' like how Jordan pushed off russell in 1998 finals" is taking it a tad far though.
Yeah, this was the game where Reggie faked hurting his ankle and we layed off his ass! But rest assured the next game we roasted his ass!! Great shot though. There's a cool documentary about Reggie's feud with the Knicks and Spike Lee. It's an awesome documentary.!!
Seriously, guys, when you ever do something that is 'once in a lifetime' like hitting a game winning shot in the NBA Finals, would you care how the people view your celebration?
@rodprops. Yeah those clips they did not "TOUCH" him but pounded him and got away with it a lot. And the Bulls won that Game 7 in 92 by like 40 PTS over the Knicks/Refs. And the Magic thing was him joking with MJ. He is not ensinuating that MJ gets all the calls, he is just toying with him and since they play hoops he just randomingly said "Foul" or whatever. MJ and Magic are like best friends. You/Knicks/Refs Lose again.
You guys can't hate on Reggie for the pushoff, MJ did it all throughout his career. Oh yeah, remember the shot that won that year's championship against the Jazz. MJ pushing off Bryan Russel, gimme a break.
@MKiper2009 Maybe Lebron is more mature and doesn't want to get ejected. Also im pretty sure Reggie cant even move Lebron. Reggie is 6'7 about 180, Lebron is 6'8 250 some claim he's actually weighs more now like 260 something.
It was MJ's competitive spirit and pure love for the game that he din't fall down and call for a foul. MJ was much better than that. And people saying LBJ would cry for a foul.. LeBron mite choke, travel and make bad decisions, BUT HE AIN'T NO CHEAT!
@rodprops. NAH MJ and his Boys were legends like Pippen. Ewing and his boys were refs that let them travel all over the court and refs that gave Hubert Davis FTs even though Pippen played clean Defense.
@rodprops. Yes I spelled Intelligence wrong that one time in my last message because I figured thats how people at your level understand it. Game-Set-Match.
He was shoved here but he didn't complain. The PISTONS killed him for 3 straight years and he accepted it like a man. When MJ loses he's motivated even more. Just brace yourself cause he'll embarass you the next game.
@MKiper2009 its not just lebron though almost all the players in the nba do that now. Players just arent as tough as they used to be. Refs need to start T'in players up when they start to cry to stop that crap.
@rodprops. Knicks, Celtics, Pacers, Shaq-led teams=True NBA Evil Empires. Jazz, and Spurs aren;t boring. Bulls, JAzz, Spurs=Play the game the right way and are classy organizations. I am not a fan of Jazz, Spurs but I am a fan of the Bulls. 6 Titles in the Golden era of the NBA>2 Titles in maybe the worst years the league has seen (early 70s when the Knicks won it all).
@fluffynoses choked? Harper-Jordan-Longley-Pipped-Rodman v Jackson-Miller-Smits-Mullin-Davis smh the fact that Indy took that team to a game 7 is a damn achievement
@omniversie25. As I said to whats his name earlier, if you think MJ barely nicking Byron Russell's shorts in his final shot as a Bull was a foul then you might want to consider another sport to watch. And yes right now in 2010 Lakers and Cavs are at top of the league.
@sully0719. If you are deluded on this thats fine but I hope your not messed up with thinking like Rodprops. If your saying an Evil Empire is a team that wins too much then by your definition you are going by that.
@tdedenuola like you don't understand why someone might think he looks stupid. and it's not obvious that he hasn't won anything substantial in his life
@bballnic44 I thought they were going to show the actual fight. They did fight years ago. And in the post interview Jordan said Miller fights like a chicken scratching
@ChicagoJoe670 lol come on man, Jordan push fouled russel too. I'm one of the biggest Chicago fans in the world, but you have to give Miller props where they're due, he took the Indiana Pacers to a game seven against the bulls led by Jordan. That's no ordinary feat. Let's just settle on the fact that the NBA is never going to be like this ever again.
This was a clear Pushoff by Reggie, should have been an OFF Foul. But nope the NBA badly wanted the "Basketball Capital of the world" (Indianapolis) to win. GAme 6 Derrick McKey trips MJ when Bulls trial by 2 in closing seconds and no call. HEck ask the Knicks in the 2000 East FInals how the Pacers got al the calls. The NBA loves certain teams, Indy, Lakers, Boston, etc.
@sully0719. Winning does not mean your the EVil EMpire. In Baseball the Yankkes won more than anyone but the Evil Empire is Boston. Actually Evil EMpire in Hoops is Boston, NY, Indy, and any team Shaq is on.
How did the refs not see that push off?...Ha ha...I remember when this happened...I was crushed...Oh, and Jordan's game winning shot rattled out of the rim on the other end after this clip.
@rodprops. Yes I do here myself posting comments because I am speaking truth and your talking nonsense. Stop being bitter because your franchise only won 2 titles with the help of the NBA Front Office in a watered down hoops era.
@fluffynoses Bulls won the series but the Pacers had a morale victory over the greatest player to ever play the game of basketball by taking them to game 7 and not allowing them to go to Market Square Arena and get a win, the first time the Bulls had been taken to a game 7 with Jordan since '92 and only the second time in any playoff series the year they were champions did they go to game 7
@MKiper2009 well maybe you're unintentionally making an argument for Bron. in all likelihood Bron's theatrics would have drawn a whistle, whereas MJ's persistence didn't help much in that situation.
@chunkz1187 okay yeah Pacers' fans keep telling yourselves that if it makes you feel better. still doesn't change the fact that the Pacers and Reggie Miller choked in crunch time (guy didn't even get voted in as a finalist this year epic fail) god i fucking hate the pacers, even years after Miller retired
@AILL You're right, MJ is the man, but i like how Reggie came at him and opened up space to get off his shot, that's what you're supposed to do. MJ would have done the same thing in the same situation, great players do what they have to do to win, and Reggie was a great player. What i liked about Reggie is he never backed down from any player or opponent, no matter who they we're, MJ,Magic,Bird,Kobe,whoever, and i respect that, i'm sure MJ does.
i remember this game one of the best nba games i ever seen
Does anybody know what game this is? Like playoffs or what?
@jagy17 yeah i got that book, and you just proved my point, he made a commitment to his dad to play baseball and having his dad die made him feel like he needed to try to fullfill that, because it was almost like his dads last request
lol i remember in the chicago tribune they had a diagram of this shot with a still photo and a giant red X saying, "The pushoff by Miller was HERE"
i remember watching this when i was 9 years old i was soo PISSED at reggie miller and the pacers and i hated them...but after MJ retired i grew to respect miller too
@NjSwAgR21 isnt it an illegal screen?
type "short guy dunks" in the youtube search box to see a 5ft 5in guy dunking a 10ft hoop
Ignore Rodprops. He is a troll. MJ and the Bulls always beat their opponents/Refs.
If reggie didnt push Michael, he would've got blocked, therefore Bulls wouldve won the game
But still Reggie's aggressive play is what i liked about the play :) Reggie Miller = THE MAN!!!
miller was a beast back in the day
The funniest part is at 0:11, when Reggie's teammate tries to slap his butt and slaps him in another body part.
reggie miller celebrates like my 5 year old coursin
@nitotech That one handed tap byJordan can be compared to that big ass two handed chuck from Miller. Yes.... they were both pushed. However,saying it's
" 'Just' like how Jordan pushed off russell in 1998 finals"
is taking it a tad far though.
Yeah, this was the game where Reggie faked hurting his ankle and we layed off his ass! But rest assured the next game we roasted his ass!! Great shot though. There's a cool documentary about Reggie's feud with the Knicks and Spike Lee. It's an awesome documentary.!!
ROFLcopter when reggie spins around.
Seriously, guys, when you ever do something that is 'once in a lifetime' like hitting a game winning shot in the NBA Finals, would you care how the people view your celebration?
@baldpnoy410 actually that award goes to jordan in game 6 of the NBA finals against the Jazz and byron russell to hit the game winner
i cant believe reggie wasn't dizzy after those spins
where is the fight?
after jordan this is the guy i want to have the ball with 10 secs to go down by 2
@rodprops. Yeah those clips they did not "TOUCH" him but pounded him and got away with it a lot. And the Bulls won that Game 7 in 92 by like 40 PTS over the Knicks/Refs. And the Magic thing was him joking with MJ. He is not ensinuating that MJ gets all the calls, he is just toying with him and since they play hoops he just randomingly said "Foul" or whatever. MJ and Magic are like best friends. You/Knicks/Refs Lose again.
SO where is the fight?
You guys can't hate on Reggie for the pushoff, MJ did it all throughout his career. Oh yeah, remember the shot that won that year's championship against the Jazz. MJ pushing off Bryan Russel, gimme a break.
@MKiper2009 Maybe Lebron is more mature and doesn't want to get ejected. Also im pretty sure Reggie cant even move Lebron. Reggie is 6'7 about 180, Lebron is 6'8 250 some claim he's actually weighs more now like 260 something.
It was MJ's competitive spirit and pure love for the game that he din't fall down and call for a foul. MJ was much better than that.
And people saying LBJ would cry for a foul..
LeBron mite choke, travel and make bad decisions, BUT HE AIN'T NO CHEAT!
If this were todays NBA, that woulda been an offenseive foul adn jordans last shot in 98 woulda been an offensive foul as well.
Larry Bird here was not happy because he knows that Michael will come back to finish them
lucky ray allen didn't jump like that when he broke the nba record for most 3 points made
that will be called afoul in todays nba
you do know that bill russell has almost double the rings of him, professional basketball is all about rings.
fight?
what an amazing blatant shove....at least mike was subtle when he pushed off lol
@rodprops. NAH MJ and his Boys were legends like Pippen. Ewing and his boys were refs that let them travel all over the court and refs that gave Hubert Davis FTs even though Pippen played clean Defense.
@rodprops. Yes I spelled Intelligence wrong that one time in my last message because I figured thats how people at your level understand it. Game-Set-Match.
wait.. wheres the fight?
@hachakaza they would of called a flagrant foul on miller, then miller would complain and then get kicked out of the game
reggie did get away with that, but the NBA would cheat the Pacers out of the finals in game 7 of this series with horribly biased calls by the refs
nice push off before the shot cheryll! thats how you got open for all your threes!
How dizzy were you after Reggie?
he did the same thing to the Lindsey hunter on the pistons about 5 years ago and we still be them when tayshaun blocks his shit
he pushes MJ then jumps around like he did something
thats clearly a push.. but MJ never flops or cry to ref for foul. he keeps his balance and still chase reggie.
@hachakaza yeah because its an offensive foul? they would have called that back then too they just missed it
He was shoved here but he didn't complain.
The PISTONS killed him for 3 straight years and he accepted it like a man. When MJ loses he's motivated even more. Just brace yourself cause he'll embarass you the next game.
he beat him 1 game but he was beaten the whole time reggie is in the NBA
Reggie was excited because he didn't get called for a foul!
@animebrawler Everybody gets away with pushing off. Kobe, Bird, Magic, Wade, LeBron. It's a standard move in the NBA. It's not a big deal.
Miller punked MJ. That was funny. I miss this kind of basketball. Miller won this battle but MJ won the war.
LOL at :04 you can see the bulls player walking back to the locker room
he probably knew once the ball was in reggies hands it was over
Thumbs up if there's a fight!
@MKiper2009 its not just lebron though almost all the players in the nba do that now. Players just arent as tough as they used to be. Refs need to start T'in players up when they start to cry to stop that crap.
jordan always pushes whoever was guardin him, so jordan got a lil taste of that.
@rodprops. Knicks, Celtics, Pacers, Shaq-led teams=True NBA Evil Empires. Jazz, and Spurs aren;t boring. Bulls, JAzz, Spurs=Play the game the right way and are classy organizations. I am not a fan of Jazz, Spurs but I am a fan of the Bulls. 6 Titles in the Golden era of the NBA>2 Titles in maybe the worst years the league has seen (early 70s when the Knicks won it all).
@fluffynoses choked? Harper-Jordan-Longley-Pipped-Rodman v Jackson-Miller-Smits-Mullin-Davis smh the fact that Indy took that team to a game 7 is a damn achievement
what a fight...........
@omniversie25. As I said to whats his name earlier, if you think MJ barely nicking Byron Russell's shorts in his final shot as a Bull was a foul then you might want to consider another sport to watch. And yes right now in 2010 Lakers and Cavs are at top of the league.
Wers the fight?
@sully0719. If you are deluded on this thats fine but I hope your not messed up with thinking like Rodprops. If your saying an Evil Empire is a team that wins too much then by your definition you are going by that.
@tdedenuola like you don't understand why someone might think he looks stupid. and it's not obvious that he hasn't won anything substantial in his life
@bballnic44 I thought they were going to show the actual fight. They did fight years ago. And in the post interview Jordan said Miller fights like a chicken scratching
lol at the bull player at 0:03 he already knew they were ganna lose so he decided to walk out
@ChicagoJoe670 lol come on man, Jordan push fouled russel too. I'm one of the biggest Chicago fans in the world, but you have to give Miller props where they're due, he took the Indiana Pacers to a game seven against the bulls led by Jordan. That's no ordinary feat.
Let's just settle on the fact that the NBA is never going to be like this ever again.
have you seen the one where jordan pushes reggies face then punches him
Offensive Foul, he clearly pushed MJ. Ref even admitted he got the call wrong 5 years later.
Miller pushed Jordan clearly......it was fault but the referees didn't mind!!!
At least Bulls won in the end....that's wath matters!!!
lmfao this is reggie's one moment over MJ. and who won the series? yeah that's what i thought
reggie miller's sister weighs more than him....lol she got a deeper voice then him 2 lmfao
@kidlat1968 who beat who?
Great shot but i disliked it because there was no damn fight
you're allowed to shove him if hes in your way. but its playoff anything could've happen.
@rodprops. Thats troll, I thought I would mispell it to keep it at your intelligence level.
@BoyHataw Whats SMH again??
Wow... he actually pushed MJ away and took the shot
This was a clear Pushoff by Reggie, should have been an OFF Foul. But nope the NBA badly wanted the "Basketball Capital of the world" (Indianapolis) to win. GAme 6 Derrick McKey trips MJ when Bulls trial by 2 in closing seconds and no call. HEck ask the Knicks in the 2000 East FInals how the Pacers got al the calls.

@JZ2001JC the bulls had the best team of all time in 96'. they are the BEST evil empire
i remember watching this game....i was pissed! haha
Great shot but the greatest push off of all time..
Check out the video "J's On My Feet" for all of you Air Jordan/HipHop FANS!!!
Jordan got taken to the hole there from the three point line.
Holla when labron get 6 rings
Hahahaha... that celebration dance was fucking GAY
How did the refs not see that push off?...Ha ha...I remember when this happened...I was crushed...Oh, and Jordan's game winning shot rattled out of the rim on the other end after this clip.
@rodprops. Yes I do here myself posting comments because I am speaking truth and your talking nonsense. Stop being bitter because your franchise only won 2 titles with the help of the NBA Front Office in a watered down hoops era.

i remeber this game too xD damn reggie and also when prince block reggie hahaahaha
@level5statedept its ok though cause they didnt call it on Michael when he did in Russell, lol Michael Jordan THE greatest EVER
lol he pushes MJ for the open 3
@hachakaza Same as NFL
@hachakaza Yeah cause he pushed off....
just found out today...reggie miller is gay...carl lewis is his lover
This is not a fight.
they won the game but not the championship LOL
@binka21 reggie miller won this game but reggie's career was destroyed by MJ during MJ's time is what i am trying to say here
U call that shitting on the greatest player child please.
@MKiper2009 well maybe you're unintentionally making an argument for Bron. in all likelihood Bron's theatrics would have drawn a whistle, whereas MJ's persistence didn't help much in that situation.
im surprised jordan didnt do anything about tht
@chunkz1187 okay yeah Pacers' fans keep telling yourselves that if it makes you feel better. still doesn't change the fact that the Pacers and Reggie Miller choked in crunch time (guy didn't even get voted in as a finalist this year epic fail)
god i fucking hate the pacers, even years after Miller retired
wow. nice push
