| Source:NBC Sports- Michael Jordan & Scottie Pippen, represent the new leaders of the NBA, in the 1990s. |
“Michael Jordan (30 points, 10 assists, 5 steals), Scottie Pippen (32 points, 13 rebs, 7 assists, 5 steals), and John Paxson (20 points, 9-12 shooting) all have superb games to lead the Bulls to their first ever NBA championship defeating the Lakers in the Great Western Forum.”
From Scottie Pippen
This was one of the best games in NBA Finals history. And had Big Game James Worthy been healthy and played this game for the Lakers, this game would’ve been different. Because it would’ve meant less double-teaming on Earvin Johnson, with Scottie Pippen or Michael Jordan having to cover James Worthy or Horace Grant having to cover James Worthy. And not being able to help out on Magic as much without getting burned by it.
This should’ve been one of the best NBA Finals in NBA history and not a five-game series, with the Bulls dominating at least two of them. But where this series goes back to Chicago at least for game 6. But the Lakers not having all of their weapons and not being as good as they were in the late 1980s, meant that this great Bulls teams was playing an inferior Lakers team even with Magic for their first NBA Championship.
