- Michael Jordan was past his athletic peak, he came into the series hobbled with various injuries, and the Seattle Supersonics are one of the most under rated defenses in NBA history, but Michael Jordan still managed to will the Chicago Bulls to the NBA Championship.

Shawn Kemp was such a athletic super freak, every bit the freaky athlete as LeBron James of today, though without the ball handling skills, but kids today would rather imagine the 90s were somehow devoid of these types of players. This Supersonics team was pretty amazing.
dude i love your videos. i always knew jordan was good but u make it obvious why he was good. They double team off ball and refs were not heavy on the foul calling like today. loving these videos. nobody can even come close to what he has done
I appreciate the time you take to do these analyses, good work.
Great video Bruce. Again you show why Michael Jordan truly is the greatest. In today's NBA he would smash everyone.
You're right about that. Many people forget Michael was bothered by his bad back & knees during the 96 Finals. He didn't shoot well that series, faced a great defense & still won MVP while leading the Bulls to a 6th game victory on Fathers Day.
Great Sonics team, Payton, Kemp Schremf , Hawkins, Perkins, Mcmillan, brickowski
This is unbelievable footage. I'm having such a tough time fighting off double teams at my local open gym. Imagine how tough it's gotta feel at this level against a 64 game winning team.
good job man,keepo going...
I like this video. My only problem is some of your pointed out double and triple teams away from the ball are flawed.
Agreed Man
enverdad q buen video en estos tiempo ese tipo anotaria 45 puntos por partido su inteligencia y capacidad se lo daba Dios
LMMFAO @ Brian!
Shawn Kemp had 12 total Blocks in 6 games of the 1996 Finals compared to Shaq's 16 Blocks in the 2000 Finals in 6 Games and Shaq is 7'1'' and Kemps is 6'10'' and that's just a 4 block differential from Shaq so Kemp was real the dominant center for this Sonics teams because he had the defensive presence in the paint that Ervin Johnson didn't have. So people can't say that Jordan never defeated a team that had no dominant big man or dominant Forward/Center because they have in 1996
Erivn Johnson was a great defender
MJ.
he drives to the hoop,kemp throws an elbow,he never drives to the hoop again.
wow they can't stop mj
Being a fan has nothing to do with Jordan shooting 40 percent from the floor and getting every call you can get.

When I was a kid, I once had some idiot tell me that Mookie Blaylock was the 2nd best player of all-time behind Jordan, no joke.
@SkywarpMach7 ^^^^ Brian is a huge Sonics fan ^^^^
LeBron does not get double teamed like that. nor does he meet shock blockers who jump every chance they get lol
@SkywarpMach7 That equation just increased your credibility exponentially bro.
10:53 power and grace. this is what basketball players these days envision or try to emulate when they go for a dunk.
Jordan fue doble marcado triple marcado, victima de juego fisico que según las reglas actuales serian consideradas como faltas.
Deberían considerar estas variables aquellos que insisten en comparar a MJ con Kobe Briant y Lebron James. Es muy posible que no aguanten una paliza como esta.
oh man was that Frank Brickowski?
@theAIRJORDANblitz It's crazy how physical the game was back then and even more so in the 80s with Bird and Magic. A ref toots his whistle over the smallest shit these days. They let Michael and a great defensive player Payton go at it under the boards, almost wrestling under the boards. The NFL is flag happy too, it sucks. I miss 90s sports with contact. The Refs sucks these days and Kobe gets so many ticky tack calls and his FG% sucks. He will never be in the same sentence as God MJ.
i feel like if lebron was is in this era and was allowed to be this physical he could have thrived much like jordan. 6.8 250
@SkywarpMach7 That Sonics team was good tho with Payton, Kemp, Perkins, Hawkins, Schrempf. But to say MJ got locked down when he was averaging 30ppg is absurd. Also: MJ is already way past his athletic prime & most basketball players above 32 are considered old as they are not supposed to be able to compete as physically as they used to.Most retire by age 35 unless they are still trying to get a ring (Many Hall of Famers didnt get the ring because of MJ & his Bulls). Hakeem got 2 when Mj left
@SkywarpMach7 Brian stop drinking the Seattle Kool Aid
gari peiton nunca pudo con el GOAT MJ ni q lo marcaran 3 igual q el si no q vean los videos no uno si no todos y veran por q era inmarcable
KNICKS DEFENSE WAS TOUGHER IMHO
i dont get it? it looks like regular tough defense. They just making it seem like more than it is because Jordan was gettin shut down
KB and LJ and others could not do this
watch this then go and watch todays nba... jezz awful..nba back the was just so much better in every way..
Kemp certainly played much better than Pippen this serious. The dude was practically non-existent this series :(.
First of all Jordan was past his prime and hobbled with injuries here. Still the sonics are one of the most underrated defenses ever and had a great overall team defense on Jordan in the finals although I think Payton gets too much credit Jordan was 3/4 against payton in game 6 and shot 50% in game 5 so game 4 is the only game payton shut down Jordan. Also in the very next game after the finals george karl put Payton on Jordan and got destroyed for 45 points on 68%. Jordan was 7/11 with 18 points 2 offensive rebounds and 3 assists against Payton. Also missed a wide open three and faked payton out of his shoes but missed the wide open layup. So Payton really only forced one miss from jordan that game. It was so bad that Jordan mercifully didn't shoot the ball the rest of the game with 5 and a half mins left with the Bulls up by 20. So basically what I'm trying to say is that payton is not the Jordan stoppe

Payton never guarded Jordan one on one in the 96 finals. He was just the primary defender but they were double and triple teaming him all the time...as every team did throughout his entire career. But I agree with most of what you said. Jordan got injured in the first round, which forced him to leave game 2 in the middle of a great performance. The heat were also a great defensive team.
Excatly
this probobly worst finals (my opinion) great defense by the sonics
Kobe could not stand a chance with jordan
what????????????
*series
kemp was much much stronger than lebitch
Youre Joking!..
Put ooo and panda p pop ups I’ll
M
dude, Lebron faces that double team, triple team shit every night
his worst finals % ever, still higher than kobe's finals AVERAGE LOL
