Bulls fan here...

Random video to think about something else besides for the offseason for a minute.

Epic game, Bulls were down big. Kukoc caught fire and they pushed OT. Bulls dominated OT. VanExel couldn't miss either.

Game got pretty physical, near fight between Randy Brown and Eddie Jones.

Shaq and Rodman got into it with Shaq shoving Rodman, Jordan & Pip had to restrain Rodman to the point all three fell and started laughing.

Shaq also got clobbered on a play at about the 10 minute mark, Kukoc went to help Shaq up and Pippen slapped Kukoc's hand away.

MJ looking smooth as butter.

Kobe's first game against MJ.



My favorite part of the video is the first time Kobe checks in the game, first play hes guarding MJ near the sideline MJ has his back to him fakes right, spins left and blows past him for the dunk.

What made it even cooler, was slashing to the basket by Kobe was Robert Parish who started his career in the mid 70's. It just blows my mind to think Kobe still in the league currently (problem will face rookies this year who play well into the 2030's) was on the court at the same time with of course Jordan but also an alltime NBA great in Robert Parish who played in the 1970's.


Sports are coool..

It was a pretty epic game that went to overtime. But to each his own!

Transcends two different era's. Tons of hall of famers on the court. First year of Shaq in LA. The Robert Parish being on the court with Kobe I thought was pretty damn cool.

Nice find. I don't see the reason for the complaints, it's off season.

My dad played against Parrish in high school. I just turned 26.....where did the years go? I'm getting old

[Slava]

It blows my mind that Kobe has connected Parrish to the modern nba. I bet there's a 3 degrees of separation from Kobe to any player in the nba

[Gmoney3]

Im curious who the longest tenured player was in Parish's rookie year and what year that player started?
