Yeah because back then the rules allowed for way more defense. They implicated the defensive 3 second rule in 2001, took away hand checking in 2004, and in 2019 they put in the “freedom of movement” rule which allows off ball players to move freely without off ball defenders impeding their movements. Nba defense today is a walk in the park compared to what it used to be, just ask Luka and Giannis, they both agree Euro basketball has way harder defense than the nba.

Penny was a beast,playmaker with killer post moves, amazing passing ability and feel of the game, him and Derrick Rose is the biggest "what if" of the NBA 🏀🏀
@@prytanhs12345 To be fair, DRose named league MVP in 2011. Unlike Penny, DRose's efforts after his 3rd year were enough to clinch the league's best individual trophy in the regular season. Ironically, both suffered their injury in the 1st round of the Playoffs. Penny revealed decades later he heard a pop on his knee in the series against Detroit in 1996 (G3?). It's a mystery why Thibs still let Rose play despite having a safe margin and an imminent win with less than 90 seconds left in 2012 (game1). Rose patiently participated in his rehabilitation progress that shelved him for two seasons. Unfortunately, he's already a shadow of his former MVP self. As for Penny, despite the pop he continued to play until East Finals then participated in Atlanta Olympics, instead of assessing his knee (can't blame him). He was supposed not to play during 1997-98 until his knee was fully recovered, but played in 1998 All-Star, citing his fans still voted for him despite his absence. Not following the timetable could cost him his career. Thankfully he still managed to have a lucrative deal via sign-and-trade to Phoenix. And pardon the litany.
Jordan was so dope that he was the type of player to take shots while double teamed, instead of passing and I was like oh it's cool good shot, because it's Jordan the goat
That was almost a repeat of Games 1 and 6 of last season’s ECSF where the Bulls botched both games when in a winning position. This time the Bulls who were mentally stronger compared to last year, maintained their focus, withstood the Magic onslaught and came up with the big plays in clutch time.
Ah, yes, the game where Shaq showed up late (and his first game back following the passing of his grandmother) and Brian Hill had to be forced to play him after he said that he was going to sit Shaq out because he didn't show up for shootaround.
I remember this game. its was on a weekend. i used to love the afternoon games. I used to record them on VHS. There was something wrong with Shaq's Grandma or something like that. Which is why he didn't travel with the team. That was why he came late. Good game as usual between Shaq/Penny vs MJ/Pip/Rodman. Rodman never got the respect he deserved from the broadcasters. As a undersized Pf he would guard Shaq, Barkley, Kemp, Malone and other stars. And they always talked about him like he was a problem or nuisance instead of a hard working mastermind. I still watch the NBA. but they don't play this hard anymore. It's all offense, and no real defense and no post play. I miss this
He was a nuisance and asshole a lot of times but It canceled out because he was tireless and sacrificed his body for loose balls. it set the tone and an example of what hard work can accomplish.
that 96 ECF was supposed to be the series of all series. Everybody in their mama was waiting for that series after MJ got embarrassed in that 95 series. The series was a complete dud smh. 96 Bulls were on a mission. Nobody was beating them
@@andrius11Nick missed game 4, after they were down 0-3. Non factor. Grant, yeah that was devastating. No doubt they would have been more competitive. If it had been a 6 or 7 game series, then it definitely would have mattered. But as good as he was, no way Grant is turning a sweep into a series victory.
even with Horace & Nick, Shaw, it woulda been more competitive and prob went 6 or 7, but they were not winning that series. Horace basically did nothing in Game 1, as well as Nick Anderson, Scott@@andrius11
Goukas said Rodman flopped against Shaq in the post. Shaq was around 330 at this time. People didn’t need to flop 🤦♂️ But Goukas was biased against Rodman.
So were a lot of people. The years have been kind to his reputation. He’s looked at so much more favorably now. He really was the Randy Moss and the TO of his time.
For all the mj haters who say he was a ballhog.... He shot 50% frm d freaking field which produced 6 rings! He can ballhog all he wants! Now kobrick is a different story.
Funny thing is, i watched those back in the 90s and i never realised how special it was. I thought that NBA would be like that forever. If i knew it would become this travesty of a sport as its today, i would have watched every single game back then.
Hey what NBA on NBC game highlights will you be uploading next? Anymore from the 1993-94 and 1994-95 seasons? I know you said you’ll upload the extended intros of available.
Shaq was a problem. There's been some revisionist history that Shaq was a bad defender, but he really just caused major problems by being so big and in the way. He didn't need to do much more.
Chicago Bulls win on the road against Orlando Magic's home game advantage was an equaliser till the 4 points win by the Bull's. Shaquille O'Neill had a great impact thus outplaying Dennis Rodman in dunks and free throws too. Even MJ didn't av a great field in his offenses against the Magic's tight defenses.🤔❤👍🏀🙏
You forget just how good Penny was. One of the biggest what if's in NBA history. He was one of my favorite players. I used to trade for all his cards when any of my friends got one. The old Skybox metal Penny was my favorite for some reason.
Shaqs free throw shooting was the reason they didn’t go to him for last shots, the bulls would have sent him to the line where he might have made 1 of 2
I watched like it was an exame. I studied and it was. Top Brady, Michael Jordan and the true true greats would have dine it for free. Winners are not paid for what we prepare ourselves to win. We are paid to perform. I know.
And all fouls on Magic players - kinda cheap. MJ was brutaly fouled - no, refs dont see. Rodman easy defend Shaq - FOUL. Traveling by Shaq half of time? No. Its good. NBA start create star for league at this time. Big nothing can Boy with right colour of Skin. Nothing without Kobe.
This is WAAAAAAAAAAY BETTER than the current NBA.
The commentary in the 90s was top notch. So underrated.
96 Bulls. Best NBA team ever. 72-10 record capped it off with a NBA Championship.
