This would've been a 1999 Finals preview if the Bulls had brought everyone back for 1 last run in the shortened lockout year.

This was the game after the Bulls suffered probably the worst loss of their second three-peat years, blowing a 20-point fourth quarter lead and losing to a 24-58 pre-Dirk Mavs team two nights earlier. They never played 2 bad games in a row.

Crazy enough this was Dennis’ first time playing in San Antonio, he was injured both times in 96 and 97.

6 HOF’ers on one court!

Man my two favourite teams. This would have made for an amazing Finals series. The Bulls are my GOAT team, Michael IS the GOAT, but Pop is my GOAT coach.

16:38 skip was a wrinkle MJ added to his game in 98 season. And he had all kinds of variations of it that year too.  I remember watching the 1998 season and MJ saying he was reaching a Jedi-like level where he was searching for a game on different plane not visible to the eye of any player in history. It wouldve been glorious to see what 1999 MJ couldve looked like if the lockout never happened.

If the Spurs won that OT game 2 at Utah, this matchup might have been the NBA Finals in 1998

This game is amazing.  Robinson was still an absolute beast at this point and he has a monster game here.  Other highlights: Jordan blocks Duncan’s shot, and Duncan immediately comes back on the other end and blocks Jordan’s shot; also features a jump ball between Robinson and Jordan.  Just an insane level of skill all the way around in this one, including from 3.  A total of 8 regular season MVP on the court here (Jordan (5), Duncan (2), Robinson (1)).

I will always love my Chicago bulls....
I like David Robinson & Tim Duncan too.

I didn't know that fade-inside-the-arc style existed that far back. I always thought the Nash-era Suns started that trend.

Twin Tower! Legend!

Your uploads are gold as always

So a year later this Spurs team won the NBA Finals because the 2 jerry's decided everyone but MJ is "over the hill" and end their own dynasty! Does anyone who reads this believe that this same Bull's team could not have come back & at least defended their Title? I know the Pacers were coming & I'm not saying beating the Spurs would not have been a real task given how good Robinson & Duncan had become & how lacking the Bulls were at center! What I am saying is that this Bulls team had enough left to win the Eastern Conference in 99' & Michael Jordan playing in the NBA Finals is the deciding factor!
