Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:19,645 --> 00:00:22,190
Pacers lead it by six, 20-74.
2
00:00:23,065 --> 00:00:26,152
P/ppen gets the screen,
flying to go by sm/z's.
3
00:00:26,235 --> 00:00:28,029
Moves on the baseline. Lost it.
4
00:00:28,863 --> 00:00:30,198
And Richardson has it.
5
00:00:30,281 --> 00:00:32,867
He is one-on-three,
takes it to the basket
6
00:00:32,950 --> 00:00:34,911
Ana'... it's tiopea' in.
7
00:00:34,994 --> 00:00:37,872
Oh, and Reggie Miller came over
and smacked Michael,
8
00:00:37,955 --> 00:00:40,625
Is upset about it,
and / can't blame him.
9
00:00:40,708 --> 00:00:42,710
Yes, he ran right into him,
10
00:00:42,793 --> 00:00:44,462
and we got a brouhaha here.
11
00:00:44,545 --> 00:00:48,090
Michael Jordan
and Reggie Miller having a go at it.
12
00:00:48,966 --> 00:00:51,052
Don't hold him back. Let him go.
13
00:00:51,802 --> 00:00:54,347
I/I/hat set this all up...
14
00:00:55,765 --> 00:00:59,644
He and I had somewhat
of a unique relationship.
15
00:00:59,727 --> 00:01:04,190
Most people feared Michael Jordan,
and rightfully so.
16
00:01:05,983 --> 00:01:08,819
But I didn't fear him
like the rest of the league did.
17
00:01:10,112 --> 00:01:12,740
And we had to lock horns quite a bit.
18
00:01:13,658 --> 00:01:16,869
Pacers lead by ten. Jordan will steal.
19
00:01:18,287 --> 00:01:20,915
Oh/ oh.
And then he throws the ball
20
00:01:20,998 --> 00:01:22,541
at Jackson in frustration.
21
00:01:22,625 --> 00:01:24,811
He thought Jackson
tried to take him out,
22
00:01:24,835 --> 00:01:27,255
so /I/lichael's gonna
get a technical on that play.
23
00:01:27,338 --> 00:01:29,258
And then Reggie Miller came over.
24
00:01:29,340 --> 00:01:31,884
You know,
I respected him so much,
25
00:01:31,968 --> 00:01:35,554
but, you know, he probably just thought
I was some mouthy, skinny kid...
26
00:01:36,347 --> 00:01:39,517
And he was one of the best trash-talkers
in our game.
27
00:01:40,768 --> 00:01:44,272
My rookie year,
we were playing against Chicago.
28
00:01:45,314 --> 00:01:48,317
And, as a rookie, you're gonna go 110%,
29
00:01:48,401 --> 00:01:51,112
because you're trying
to impress your vets on your team.
30
00:01:51,195 --> 00:01:53,275
Ll/li/ler around a stioano vich screen.
31
00:01:53,322 --> 00:01:56,075
7'urns the corner down the Lane.
Lays it in. Foul called
32
00:01:56,158 --> 00:01:58,661
Reggie Miller scores,
and he was fouled by Jordan.
33
00:01:58,744 --> 00:02:01,872
I remember,
I had, like, ten points at half,
34
00:02:01,956 --> 00:02:05,710
and mj didn't shoot the ball
particularly great. So, I was like,
35
00:02:05,793 --> 00:02:08,421
"yeah, you're Michael Jordan,
the guy that walks on water?"
36
00:02:08,504 --> 00:02:09,839
He looks at me.
37
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,801
Michael Jordan at the foul
line, comes up shooting. Good
38
00:02:13,884 --> 00:02:16,178
Second half,
I ended up with two points.
39
00:02:16,262 --> 00:02:19,056
So I had 12 for the game,
and he ended up with a lot more.
40
00:02:20,599 --> 00:02:22,601
Jordan's got 37.
41
00:02:23,769 --> 00:02:26,105
And I remember him
walking off the court.
42
00:02:26,897 --> 00:02:30,401
He was like,
"don't ever talk trash to black Jesus."
43
00:02:30,484 --> 00:02:35,323
And that's when I stopped
referring to him as Michael Jordan,
44
00:02:35,406 --> 00:02:39,785
and I always referred to him either
as "Jordan," "black Jesus,"
45
00:02:39,869 --> 00:02:41,329
or "that black cat."
46
00:02:41,412 --> 00:02:44,665
I never called him
Michael Jordan again after that.
47
00:02:47,543 --> 00:02:49,045
A spectacular move/
48
00:02:49,128 --> 00:02:50,713
Good/ the game's over/
49
00:02:50,796 --> 00:02:53,132
Chicago stadium is going wild
50
00:02:55,092 --> 00:02:57,154
First,
there's no backstabbing going on here.
51
00:02:57,178 --> 00:02:59,013
It's time for me to move on.
52
00:02:59,096 --> 00:03:01,456
7'his ll be Phil's last year
as coach of the bulls.
53
00:03:03,184 --> 00:03:05,144
Are the expectations
way too h/gh 7
54
00:03:05,227 --> 00:03:06,687
Where do we go from here?
55
00:03:06,771 --> 00:03:08,731
The only question:
How long can it last?
56
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:22,953
Good afternoon, and welcome
57
00:03:23,037 --> 00:03:26,457
to the eastern conference finals,
the bulls and the Indiana pacers.
58
00:03:26,540 --> 00:03:29,502
First time these two clubs
have faced each other in the playoffs.
59
00:03:31,003 --> 00:03:32,363
The up to Indiana.
60
00:03:35,633 --> 00:03:39,303
In '98,
that was my first year coaching.
61
00:03:39,387 --> 00:03:43,265
And it was our best opportunity,
I thought, to win a championship.
62
00:03:43,349 --> 00:03:46,602
We were confident
that we can dethrone the bulls.
63
00:03:47,228 --> 00:03:49,105
We felt like we were just as versatile.
64
00:03:49,772 --> 00:03:52,108
We had rik smits,
the "dunkin' dutchman,"
65
00:03:52,191 --> 00:03:56,195
Mark Jackson, one of the greatest
assist guys the league has seen.
66
00:03:56,278 --> 00:03:57,780
We had the Davis brothers...
67
00:03:59,782 --> 00:04:04,370
Chris mullin, one of the
sweet-shooting players of all time,
68
00:04:05,037 --> 00:04:07,456
and Reggie Miller, our hall of famer.
69
00:04:08,290 --> 00:04:09,500
We had a squad.
70
00:04:11,752 --> 00:04:15,798
That series with Indiana
was the hardest playoff series we had.
71
00:04:15,881 --> 00:04:18,217
They were big.
They were strong. They were physical.
72
00:04:18,300 --> 00:04:22,596
If I had to pick a team that gave us
the toughest time in the east,
73
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:26,434
you know, Indiana was probably
the toughest, outside of Detroit.
74
00:04:27,601 --> 00:04:28,769
They were tough.
75
00:04:28,853 --> 00:04:32,481
Every time I'd go in that fucking game
and come out, I got a new scratch.
76
00:04:32,565 --> 00:04:34,358
It became personal with me.
77
00:04:34,942 --> 00:04:38,779
Michael through
the hole, re verse, plus the foul/
78
00:04:40,322 --> 00:04:43,033
here's ll/lichae/ with the steal,
and Chicago with the lead
79
00:04:45,202 --> 00:04:47,538
Game 7 to Chicago.
80
00:04:50,082 --> 00:04:52,209
Welcome back
to the united center,
81
00:04:52,293 --> 00:04:57,298
game 2 of the
NBA eastern conference finals.
82
00:04:57,381 --> 00:05:01,594
It's my privilege
to present Michael Jordan
83
00:05:01,677 --> 00:05:05,014
with his fifth
NBA most valuable player trophy.
84
00:05:05,097 --> 00:05:09,685
And may I say, on behalf of everyone
this evening, thank you.
85
00:05:18,068 --> 00:05:21,655
Here is long/ey going
strong to the basket. Luc long/e y.
86
00:05:22,490 --> 00:05:24,825
Here's kerr for three again,
and this hits/
87
00:05:25,326 --> 00:05:29,663
somehow, some way, every year,
Steve kerr gets a b/g basket,
88
00:05:29,747 --> 00:05:31,165
put a dagger in someone's heart.
89
00:05:31,248 --> 00:05:35,127
Under two minutes remaining here
in the fourth quarter. Jordan...
90
00:05:35,628 --> 00:05:38,255
Michael Jordan with a fal/a way.
91
00:05:38,339 --> 00:05:41,550
Oh, what a shot by Michael Jordan,
92
00:05:41,634 --> 00:05:45,137
and that may be the exclamation point
for the Chicago Bulls.
93
00:05:45,221 --> 00:05:48,224
The bulls are winners, 704-98.
94
00:05:48,307 --> 00:05:51,393
Bulls lead the series 2-0.
Jordan, 47 points.
95
00:05:53,646 --> 00:05:56,065
It's back
to the drawing board. This is...
96
00:05:56,148 --> 00:05:58,567
You play for this time of year,
97
00:05:58,651 --> 00:06:01,570
and we've come too far
to let something like this slip away.
98
00:06:10,996 --> 00:06:12,057
Okay.
99
00:06:21,966 --> 00:06:24,760
Pacers are gonna kick
Chicago's rear end.
100
00:06:26,845 --> 00:06:29,682
- The bulls are going down!
- Yeah, that's right.
101
00:06:31,016 --> 00:06:34,186
Step up and pound
the bullcrap mobile.
102
00:06:39,608 --> 00:06:41,860
We won the first two games
in Chicago...
103
00:06:42,945 --> 00:06:45,614
But next game that we had,
it was on the road.
104
00:06:46,907 --> 00:06:50,953
And their arena was really,
like, a tough place to win.
105
00:06:59,169 --> 00:07:00,170
Let's go, boys.
106
00:07:02,381 --> 00:07:05,175
Game 3, Reggie was a problem
107
00:07:05,259 --> 00:07:09,680
because Reggie had insane confidence.
108
00:07:10,889 --> 00:07:13,392
- Reggie...
- When he was on...
109
00:07:14,810 --> 00:07:17,479
He could make it from anywhere
over anybody at any time.
110
00:07:18,355 --> 00:07:20,524
Miller, catch, shoot, score.
111
00:07:20,608 --> 00:07:23,110
Reggie Miller!
112
00:07:23,777 --> 00:07:24,987
Miller...
113
00:07:25,070 --> 00:07:26,905
Hits the three out of the corner/
114
00:07:33,287 --> 00:07:35,039
Miller for three...
115
00:07:35,789 --> 00:07:38,125
That may ha ve finished the bulls.
116
00:07:38,751 --> 00:07:40,461
Twenty-six for Reggie.
117
00:07:41,545 --> 00:07:44,465
And Indiana wins game 3.
118
00:07:48,844 --> 00:07:52,389
Now we give ourselves a shot on Monday
to try and tie this thing up.
119
00:07:52,473 --> 00:07:55,351
So, you know,
Chicago's never gonna go away.
120
00:07:55,434 --> 00:07:59,104
As long as that black cat's out there,
anything is possible.
121
00:08:00,356 --> 00:08:03,984
Uh, we'll be fine, I think.
Today's just a bump in the road.
122
00:08:09,531 --> 00:08:12,701
7'he bulls didn't seem
impressed by the pacers' game 3 victory
123
00:08:12,785 --> 00:08:14,703
Michael Jordan called it
”a bump in the road ”
124
00:08:14,787 --> 00:08:17,790
Phil Jackson said, ”look. 7'he y had
to play very well at home to beat us,
125
00:08:17,873 --> 00:08:19,875
and even then, they barely beat us. ”
126
00:08:20,668 --> 00:08:24,505
It was a hard-fought series,
and the most memorable game was game 4.
127
00:08:26,548 --> 00:08:28,300
The up to Indiana.
128
00:08:30,177 --> 00:08:33,222
Reggie out of the corner.
Tough shot, air.
129
00:08:35,599 --> 00:08:37,643
P/ppen dishes to Michael
130
00:08:40,688 --> 00:08:43,440
Jordan's shot
is shoved back in his face,
131
00:08:43,524 --> 00:08:45,484
and Michael appears to be bleeding.
132
00:08:46,610 --> 00:08:48,112
It's Miller for three.
133
00:08:50,447 --> 00:08:53,200
Michael starting to heat up
after a slow start.
134
00:08:54,201 --> 00:08:59,123
It's a one-point game
with 6.4 on the clock.
135
00:09:05,921 --> 00:09:09,049
Indiana has a time-out.
They elect not to use it.
136
00:09:10,050 --> 00:09:11,135
Mck e y looking.
137
00:09:12,136 --> 00:09:13,804
Gets it in for Miller, batted away,
138
00:09:13,887 --> 00:09:15,889
grabbed by p/ppen,
and they have to foul him.
139
00:09:18,892 --> 00:09:23,397
I was so upset that I felt,
you know, "is this gonna be it?
140
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,858
Are they gonna go up 3-1?" You know?
141
00:09:25,941 --> 00:09:30,529
Because you go down 3-1, going back to
Chicago, it's a death sentence, really.
142
00:09:30,612 --> 00:09:32,239
We can't go out like this.
143
00:09:33,073 --> 00:09:35,451
Scottie p/ppen has had a great game,
144
00:09:35,534 --> 00:09:38,162
but he's only two of five
from the foul line.
145
00:09:38,871 --> 00:09:39,872
A miss/
146
00:09:44,376 --> 00:09:46,879
You don't want to give up a second shot.
147
00:09:48,547 --> 00:09:51,759
Missed them both/
loose ball, out-of-bounds, who's got it?
148
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,596
Indiana ball with 2.9 seconds,
149
00:09:56,388 --> 00:09:59,725
and Larry bird uses his last time-out.
150
00:10:04,146 --> 00:10:05,647
When I was coaching,
151
00:10:05,731 --> 00:10:08,442
we always had something a little
different at the end of the game,
152
00:10:08,525 --> 00:10:11,069
two seconds to last,
four second to last or whatever.
153
00:10:11,153 --> 00:10:13,655
So, if it got close,
we knew what we was running.
154
00:10:14,156 --> 00:10:17,743
There are lots players that make shots
the first three quarters of a game,
155
00:10:17,826 --> 00:10:21,288
but when you talk about who gonna make
a shot late, get the ball to Reggie.
156
00:10:22,289 --> 00:10:25,292
I remember when Larry
was drawing the play, I was thinking,
157
00:10:25,375 --> 00:10:29,505
"put all the pressure
on the official to make a call."
158
00:10:30,172 --> 00:10:34,051
Jordan is on best
Harper's on Miller.
159
00:10:34,134 --> 00:10:37,262
When the play was drawn up,
I knew they were gonna switch,
160
00:10:37,346 --> 00:10:38,847
and mj was gonna be on me.
161
00:10:38,931 --> 00:10:41,517
So I just went right to his chest,
162
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:45,854
and lightly, lightly,
shoved him a little bit
163
00:10:46,605 --> 00:10:50,108
to create that space,
and the rest was history.
164
00:10:52,319 --> 00:10:55,155
Mck e y gets it into Miller for the win/
165
00:10:55,239 --> 00:10:57,074
it's good/ -
166
00:10:57,157 --> 00:10:58,992
Four tenths of a second/
167
00:11:00,244 --> 00:11:05,290
one of the greatest clutch
playoff performers of his generation
168
00:11:05,374 --> 00:11:07,334
has apparently done it again.
169
00:11:10,629 --> 00:11:12,422
Yeah, you can dance, Reggie.
170
00:11:18,303 --> 00:11:21,974
The entire building
was in a frenzy, as we should be,
171
00:11:22,057 --> 00:11:24,685
but please put the camera on Larry bird.
172
00:11:27,437 --> 00:11:28,772
Larry looked up at that clock.
173
00:11:29,523 --> 00:11:33,777
It's like, stoic demeanor because
he knew what we all knew:
174
00:11:33,861 --> 00:11:36,989
That they had Michael Jordan,
and there was still time on the clock.
175
00:11:38,866 --> 00:11:40,626
We knew where
the ball was gonna go.
176
00:11:40,701 --> 00:11:42,995
Everyone in the building knew
where the ball was gonna go.
177
00:11:44,496 --> 00:11:47,416
Kukoc to Michael at the buzzer...
178
00:11:48,292 --> 00:11:51,336
I remember being underneath the basket
as the ball is coming.
179
00:11:52,170 --> 00:11:54,047
I'm looking.
I'm like, "this is going in."
180
00:11:54,131 --> 00:11:57,175
He lobs to Jordan. He got it off
181
00:11:57,259 --> 00:11:59,928
it spun out, and it's 2-2!
182
00:12:00,012 --> 00:12:04,433
Unbelievable!
183
00:12:04,516 --> 00:12:08,395
I mean, millimeters,
millimeters in and out.
184
00:12:09,229 --> 00:12:13,233
We made him double-clutch on that shot,
and he still almost made it.
185
00:12:29,124 --> 00:12:31,335
They still got to come through Chicago.
186
00:12:31,418 --> 00:12:34,254
Utah, Indiana,
they still got to come through Chicago.
187
00:12:34,338 --> 00:12:36,340
I don't care what happens today.
188
00:12:36,423 --> 00:12:38,634
I don't care what happened
in the other series.
189
00:12:38,717 --> 00:12:40,719
They still got to come through Chicago.
190
00:13:03,325 --> 00:13:06,620
We had our hands full out west
for my entire career.
191
00:13:06,703 --> 00:13:10,040
We played great teams,
and we were so close so many times.
192
00:13:10,123 --> 00:13:12,542
We just couldn't kinda get over the top.
193
00:13:12,626 --> 00:13:15,379
And then we win
in kind of a last-second fashion.
194
00:13:16,004 --> 00:13:18,340
Stockton, open, three...
195
00:13:18,423 --> 00:13:19,591
Yeah/
196
00:13:19,675 --> 00:13:24,805
John stockton sends the Utah jazz
to the NBA finals!
197
00:13:25,389 --> 00:13:28,308
We had a chance to play
and test ourselves against the best,
198
00:13:28,392 --> 00:13:30,102
and that means
as much to me as anything.
199
00:13:35,899 --> 00:13:38,151
Karl Malone getting mvp.
200
00:13:38,235 --> 00:13:40,237
Congratulations, Karl Malone,
201
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:45,575
1996-97 NBA most valuable player.
202
00:13:46,994 --> 00:13:49,663
Karl Malone was
the most valuable player that year,
203
00:13:49,746 --> 00:13:51,915
so here was added motivation
for Michael, right?
204
00:13:51,999 --> 00:13:53,625
He thought he should've been the mvp.
205
00:13:53,709 --> 00:13:57,212
So we knew immediately
where this was going.
206
00:13:58,338 --> 00:14:00,298
I'm not saying
he wasn't deserving of it.
207
00:14:00,382 --> 00:14:02,843
All I'm saying is that
that fueled a fire in me.
208
00:14:02,926 --> 00:14:06,346
I said, "okay, you think he's the mvp?
Okay, fine. No problem."
209
00:14:21,319 --> 00:14:24,531
It is game 7 of the NBA finals.
210
00:14:24,614 --> 00:14:28,035
For the Utah jazz,
it is their first tr/p to the finals
211
00:14:28,118 --> 00:14:31,246
in the history of the franchise.
212
00:14:31,329 --> 00:14:32,748
Game 7.
213
00:14:33,999 --> 00:14:36,159
- Here's Jordan.
- Yes/
214
00:14:37,002 --> 00:14:40,839
Karl Malone
with the nice leave for John stockton.
215
00:14:41,506 --> 00:14:42,549
Defense!
216
00:14:42,632 --> 00:14:45,260
The leave for Malone
off the pick-and-ro/I.
217
00:14:45,343 --> 00:14:47,554
Karl Malone
aggressive offensively
218
00:14:47,637 --> 00:14:49,181
jazz were good, man.
219
00:14:49,264 --> 00:14:52,017
Freakin' Karl Malone,
he's a bad matchup for us.
220
00:14:52,100 --> 00:14:54,686
Down to three. Malone. Yes.
221
00:14:54,770 --> 00:14:57,314
John stockton's a bad matchup.
222
00:14:57,397 --> 00:15:01,401
So, that first game,
in Chicago, was close.
223
00:15:01,485 --> 00:15:04,821
The game is tied at 82.
224
00:15:06,031 --> 00:15:09,076
Down to seven and five tenths
seconds remaining.
225
00:15:09,159 --> 00:15:12,370
They got bryon Russell
on Michael Jordan.
226
00:15:12,454 --> 00:15:16,166
We had probably three guys
that were typically assigned
227
00:15:16,249 --> 00:15:17,459
to match up with Michael,
228
00:15:17,542 --> 00:15:20,462
and bryon Russell
would have been first and foremost.
229
00:15:20,545 --> 00:15:22,547
Bryon Russell made our team
in the first place
230
00:15:22,631 --> 00:15:25,092
through incredible effort defensively.
231
00:15:25,175 --> 00:15:30,180
So he earned the right to take on
some of the tougher assignments,
232
00:15:30,263 --> 00:15:32,557
and it doesn't get any tougher
than Michael.
233
00:15:35,894 --> 00:15:37,813
Yeah, bryon Russell?
234
00:15:39,106 --> 00:15:42,317
When I was playing baseball,
Utah's in town to play the bulls.
235
00:15:43,527 --> 00:15:45,237
They're practicing at the facility.
236
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:48,073
I go over to say hello to John and Karl.
237
00:15:48,782 --> 00:15:51,076
And this kid, bryon Russell,
comes up to me and said,
238
00:15:51,159 --> 00:15:53,328
"man, why you quit? Why you quit?
239
00:15:53,411 --> 00:15:56,414
Man, you knew I could guard your ass.
You had to quit."
240
00:15:56,498 --> 00:15:59,751
I said, "Karl, you need to talk
to this dude, man."
241
00:15:59,835 --> 00:16:00,961
"He's just a young rookie."
242
00:16:02,337 --> 00:16:04,589
But from that point on,
he's been on my list.
243
00:16:05,173 --> 00:16:09,010
Bryon's a very playful guy,
and he said things all the time.
244
00:16:09,094 --> 00:16:11,555
I have no doubt
Michael had a number of edges
245
00:16:11,638 --> 00:16:14,808
that he could have sharpened
for whatever reason.
246
00:16:16,476 --> 00:16:17,978
I knew how he played.
247
00:16:18,061 --> 00:16:20,605
You know,
he played on the front of his toes.
248
00:16:21,439 --> 00:16:24,776
Give him a head-and-shoulder fake,
go one way, he can't stop.
249
00:16:26,987 --> 00:16:30,490
They come with shandon
Anderson here to guard scottie p/ppen.
250
00:16:30,574 --> 00:16:32,534
They got bryon Russell
on Michael Jordan.
251
00:16:32,617 --> 00:16:36,121
We're down to five.
Jordan putting moves on Russell.
252
00:16:36,204 --> 00:16:37,998
I/I/e 're down to two. Now to one.
253
00:16:38,081 --> 00:16:40,000
Here 's...
254
00:16:40,584 --> 00:16:44,379
It is all over.
The Chicago Bulls have won
255
00:16:44,462 --> 00:16:49,968
at the buzzer in game 7
with a jump shot by Michael Jordan.
256
00:17:14,242 --> 00:17:17,537
Game 2 was not particularly close.
257
00:17:17,621 --> 00:17:20,832
Oh, is Michael Jordan feeling it now.
258
00:17:20,916 --> 00:17:23,168
Bulls blew out the jazz 97-85,
259
00:17:23,251 --> 00:17:25,837
to take a two game to none
lead in that series.
260
00:17:27,297 --> 00:17:30,342
But, you know, Utah fights.
261
00:17:30,425 --> 00:17:33,803
They go out to Utah,
and it's a different story.
262
00:17:34,679 --> 00:17:36,264
Setting up Malone.
263
00:17:37,682 --> 00:17:40,644
Karl Malone went off 37 points.
264
00:17:40,727 --> 00:17:45,023
Jazz win it 704-93. They now trail
in the series two games to one.
265
00:17:45,857 --> 00:17:49,611
So game 4 of that series,
that's a tight, tight game.
266
00:17:49,694 --> 00:17:52,113
It's a one-point Chicago lead
267
00:17:53,031 --> 00:17:54,866
just under one minute remaining.
268
00:17:55,784 --> 00:17:59,621
Stockton throws the single-best pass
I've ever seen a point guard throw.
269
00:18:00,956 --> 00:18:05,835
Game 4 of the NBA finals
with the bulls up two games to one.
270
00:18:05,919 --> 00:18:08,088
And Jordan can't hit.
271
00:18:08,171 --> 00:18:10,548
Stockton fires down to Malone.
272
00:18:11,716 --> 00:18:14,219
Utah have taken a one-point lead/
273
00:18:20,684 --> 00:18:24,104
And the series is tied at two/
274
00:18:30,443 --> 00:18:34,614
Before game 5 in Utah,
I'm at the marriott.
275
00:18:38,118 --> 00:18:43,123
So it was George, myself, Tim,
and I think a couple of security guys.
276
00:18:43,206 --> 00:18:47,085
The night before the game, we were
all in Michael's room, hanging out.
277
00:18:47,168 --> 00:18:51,006
But it's, like, 10:00, 10:30 at night.
I'm hungry.
278
00:18:51,089 --> 00:18:54,968
No room service. Michael gets hungry.
279
00:18:55,051 --> 00:18:57,554
I said, "all right."
So we're calling these different places.
280
00:18:57,637 --> 00:18:58,917
George and I are looking around.
281
00:18:58,972 --> 00:19:00,682
We find one pizza place open.
282
00:19:00,765 --> 00:19:01,975
One.
283
00:19:02,058 --> 00:19:05,520
So he ordered a pizza,
and when the pizza came,
284
00:19:05,603 --> 00:19:08,064
there was four or five guys
outside the door.
285
00:19:08,148 --> 00:19:10,650
Five guys delivering one pizza.
286
00:19:11,651 --> 00:19:14,529
You know, it's very rare
that you get five delivery guys
287
00:19:14,612 --> 00:19:17,073
from the pizza place
to bring you your pizza.
288
00:19:17,157 --> 00:19:20,285
And they're all trying to look in
'cause everybody knew it was Mike.
289
00:19:20,368 --> 00:19:23,830
So, I take the pizza.
I pay them, and I put this pizza down,
290
00:19:23,913 --> 00:19:26,082
and I said,
"I got a bad feeling about this."
291
00:19:26,166 --> 00:19:28,001
I ate the pizza, all by myself.
292
00:19:28,084 --> 00:19:29,919
Nobody else eats the pizza.
293
00:19:30,879 --> 00:19:34,758
I wake up about 2:30,
throwing up left and right.
294
00:19:34,841 --> 00:19:38,094
Three o'clock in the morning,
I get a call.
295
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,389
"My room, my man.
Come to my room right now."
296
00:19:41,473 --> 00:19:42,849
"All right." I get into the room.
297
00:19:42,932 --> 00:19:45,643
He's literally curled up
in a ball, shaking.
298
00:19:46,644 --> 00:19:49,689
He goes, "man, find a team doc now."
299
00:19:50,398 --> 00:19:53,443
So it really wasn't "the flu game."
It was food poisoning.
300
00:19:56,780 --> 00:19:58,782
Oh, my heavens.
301
00:19:58,865 --> 00:20:01,743
I was in the room in Utah,
302
00:20:01,826 --> 00:20:04,037
and I went over,
and he says, "oh, I'm so sick."
303
00:20:04,120 --> 00:20:06,122
I said,
"how are you gonna play tonight?"
304
00:20:06,206 --> 00:20:07,624
"Mom, I have to play."
305
00:20:07,707 --> 00:20:10,126
And I'm thinking, "you should not play."
306
00:20:11,002 --> 00:20:13,296
But when we went to the stadium,
there he was.
307
00:20:13,380 --> 00:20:15,220
Now the b/g story here ton/ght,
308
00:20:15,256 --> 00:20:17,842
Michael Jordan's physical condition.
309
00:20:17,926 --> 00:20:19,928
All right, guys,
look out behind us.
310
00:20:20,011 --> 00:20:21,513
I stayed in bed all day.
311
00:20:22,514 --> 00:20:25,016
Couldn't eat anything.
Couldn't hold nothing down.
312
00:20:26,017 --> 00:20:29,270
He had an iv hooked up to him,
and he was chalky-white.
313
00:20:30,271 --> 00:20:34,526
Didn't look good, and I was like,
“oh, boy. We're in trouble."
314
00:20:34,609 --> 00:20:36,329
Phil comes in and says,
“what do you think?"
315
00:20:36,361 --> 00:20:38,071
I said, "look.
I'm gonna try. It's game 5.
316
00:20:38,154 --> 00:20:40,156
If anything, I can be a decoy.
317
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:41,741
So, I'm going out. I'm gonna play."
318
00:20:41,825 --> 00:20:43,910
Thanks, Marv.
At 3:30 this morning,
319
00:20:43,993 --> 00:20:45,995
Michael Jordan woke up
with flu-like symptoms.
320
00:20:46,079 --> 00:20:47,914
He had a stomachache and a headache,
321
00:20:47,997 --> 00:20:50,208
and he couldn't go back to sleep.
He threw up all n/ght,
322
00:20:50,291 --> 00:20:52,419
and, as reported earlier,
he missed the shootaround
323
00:20:52,502 --> 00:20:55,505
but he was in bed all day
and continued to throw up.
324
00:20:55,588 --> 00:21:00,969
Utah jazz! Utah jazz! Utah jazz!
325
00:21:09,018 --> 00:21:12,856
Utah jazz control the up.
326
00:21:12,939 --> 00:21:15,400
The key for Utah ton/ght is offense.
327
00:21:15,483 --> 00:21:18,236
Stockton got the steal.
328
00:21:18,319 --> 00:21:20,655
Utah's got
the quick start that they needed
329
00:21:20,738 --> 00:21:23,116
to keep the crowd into it.
330
00:21:23,199 --> 00:21:26,536
Jordan to the crossover and way off
331
00:21:26,619 --> 00:21:29,914
I/isib/y shaken by the flu symptoms.
332
00:21:29,998 --> 00:21:32,000
This is an ugly start for Chicago.
333
00:21:32,083 --> 00:21:33,793
He'd be out there on the floor playing.
334
00:21:33,877 --> 00:21:36,880
A whistle would blow
for a time-out, and you could see...
335
00:21:36,963 --> 00:21:39,299
It was almost like the life
just went out of his body,
336
00:21:39,382 --> 00:21:40,592
and he just kind of like...
337
00:21:40,675 --> 00:21:46,014
Every time-out,
he was just, like... gassed.
338
00:21:49,642 --> 00:21:55,231
He was in pretty bad shape,
but a lot of times when you're sick,
339
00:21:56,107 --> 00:22:00,862
you're able to find something deep down
inside that you didn't know was there.
340
00:22:00,945 --> 00:22:03,573
And I think it was just
one of those games
341
00:22:03,656 --> 00:22:08,286
where he wanted to win so badly
342
00:22:08,369 --> 00:22:10,705
that, you know, he stayed with it.
343
00:22:11,664 --> 00:22:15,460
After that time-out,
when that whistle blew,
344
00:22:15,543 --> 00:22:18,838
somehow, somewhere,
he got up and played.
345
00:22:18,922 --> 00:22:23,218
Michael Jordan is back,
putting the move on Chris Morris.
346
00:22:23,301 --> 00:22:26,262
And Jordan puts moves on hornacek.
347
00:22:27,180 --> 00:22:30,099
And this the best spurt of the n/ght.
348
00:22:33,269 --> 00:22:36,147
Here comes Jordan finding long/e y
349
00:22:36,231 --> 00:22:39,567
and the jazz now leading b y just nine.
350
00:22:39,651 --> 00:22:42,654
- He's like the Terminator.
- Steal by jordan/
351
00:22:42,737 --> 00:22:47,408
I mean, he went somewhere,
and he found a switch.
352
00:22:47,492 --> 00:22:48,785
What a play,
353
00:22:48,868 --> 00:22:51,871
and the bulls actually have a chance
to take the lead
354
00:22:54,958 --> 00:22:58,336
At the end of that game,
he started rising up
355
00:22:58,419 --> 00:23:02,465
and making shots and carrying that team.
356
00:23:03,216 --> 00:23:06,678
And the game is tied at 85.
357
00:23:06,761 --> 00:23:09,556
Marv, the bulls
have been here year after year.
358
00:23:09,639 --> 00:23:12,934
The confidence,
the poise, the determination,
359
00:23:13,017 --> 00:23:15,353
the disc/pline
and organ/zation down the stretch,
360
00:23:15,436 --> 00:23:19,440
all paying otfnght now
with Jordan masterfully at the line.
361
00:23:23,736 --> 00:23:26,281
Jordan able to scoop up the loose ball
362
00:23:26,364 --> 00:23:29,701
for the possession
with 40 seconds remaining.
363
00:23:29,784 --> 00:23:32,787
The game tied at 85.
364
00:23:37,792 --> 00:23:39,460
Ten on the shot clock.
365
00:23:39,544 --> 00:23:41,838
P/ppen backing hornacek.
366
00:23:41,921 --> 00:23:44,632
Here's Jordan for three. Yes/
367
00:23:44,716 --> 00:23:47,510
Michael Jordan from stra/ghta way/
368
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:16,414
He had shown
that no matter how sick he was,
369
00:24:16,497 --> 00:24:18,124
he's still the best in the world.
370
00:24:32,347 --> 00:24:33,973
Coach, how much did you know
371
00:24:34,057 --> 00:24:36,184
about Jordan's condition
going into the game?
372
00:24:36,267 --> 00:24:38,645
What did he look like early,
and describe the effort
373
00:24:38,728 --> 00:24:41,272
that he put forth
with the illness that he had.
374
00:24:41,356 --> 00:24:43,107
First of all, I didn't know he was sick.
375
00:24:46,194 --> 00:24:48,196
And I thought he played a great game.
376
00:24:53,284 --> 00:24:55,036
Did everybody else know he was sick?
377
00:24:56,204 --> 00:24:58,289
I guess I was the last one
to know.
378
00:25:04,796 --> 00:25:06,464
- Oh, come on, chief.
- Are you crazy?
379
00:25:06,547 --> 00:25:07,799
Serious?
380
00:25:14,222 --> 00:25:17,809
My innate personality
is to win at all costs.
381
00:25:17,892 --> 00:25:20,103
If I have to do it myself,
I'm gonna do it.
382
00:25:21,104 --> 00:25:23,606
But over the period of getting
to the finals,
383
00:25:23,690 --> 00:25:29,195
there have been moments that other guys
really expanded their games.
384
00:25:32,198 --> 00:25:36,869
I think Michael recognized that
there were guys who were overachievers,
385
00:25:37,495 --> 00:25:40,665
guys who maybe don't have the star power
386
00:25:40,748 --> 00:25:42,917
but came in and did what we could,
387
00:25:43,543 --> 00:25:45,712
which I'm sure he looked at me
as an overachiever.
388
00:25:48,464 --> 00:25:50,216
Coming into the NBA,
389
00:25:50,299 --> 00:25:54,804
I was not a high draft pick
or highly touted player.
390
00:25:54,887 --> 00:25:59,434
Phoenix drafted me, gave me a chance,
and kept me around for a year.
391
00:25:59,517 --> 00:26:02,854
And my first real break in the NBA
was with the Cleveland cavaliers.
392
00:26:02,937 --> 00:26:04,439
Pax against kerr.
393
00:26:04,522 --> 00:26:07,358
They swing to kerr.
He steps up and fires.
394
00:26:07,442 --> 00:26:12,405
We played the bulls a lot,
and I used to watch John paxson.
395
00:26:12,488 --> 00:26:14,615
I used to guard him
when we played the bulls,
396
00:26:14,699 --> 00:26:17,118
and then I'd watch him on TV
when we would prepare for them.
397
00:26:17,201 --> 00:26:18,870
Paxson for three...
398
00:26:18,953 --> 00:26:22,957
Yes/ the bulls take a one-point lead/
399
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:24,500
John was my guy.
400
00:26:25,334 --> 00:26:28,629
I kept thinking,
"that's the spot I need to be."
401
00:26:29,922 --> 00:26:34,886
By the time I got there, John was
entering the final year of his career,
402
00:26:34,969 --> 00:26:37,305
and he kind of took me under his wing.
403
00:26:37,388 --> 00:26:41,392
I learned early in my career
that I was gonna be a role player.
404
00:26:41,476 --> 00:26:44,604
What I did well complemented Michael.
405
00:26:45,438 --> 00:26:50,651
So, I tried to tell Steve
about how Michael
406
00:26:50,735 --> 00:26:53,446
had to really trust
who you were out there.
407
00:26:53,529 --> 00:26:55,448
If he was gonna go to battle with you,
408
00:26:55,531 --> 00:26:58,242
he had to know you were in it
and you weren't gonna back down.
409
00:26:59,619 --> 00:27:03,498
I had to fight and scrap and claw
for everything I got in the NBA.
410
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,002
And that was just enough to make it.
411
00:27:08,878 --> 00:27:11,005
Oh, man,
you got to call that shit.
412
00:27:11,088 --> 00:27:12,799
- I got half...
- It's all good.
413
00:27:12,882 --> 00:27:17,011
You know, Michael lived a different life
than the rest of us, out of necessity.
414
00:27:17,094 --> 00:27:18,805
He couldn't live that normal life.
415
00:27:18,888 --> 00:27:24,018
It was very difficult
to reach him... emotionally.
416
00:27:27,396 --> 00:27:29,065
We never discussed that.
417
00:27:29,148 --> 00:27:35,196
Um, I think it was probably too painful
for each of us.
418
00:27:45,289 --> 00:27:48,125
My dad supported me when I was a kid.
419
00:27:48,209 --> 00:27:50,753
He saw how much I loved sports.
420
00:27:50,837 --> 00:27:52,922
He loved basketball.
He loved watching me play.
421
00:27:53,005 --> 00:27:57,093
We played together all the time
out in the driveway.
422
00:27:57,176 --> 00:28:01,305
His competitiveness was honed
by playing basketball in the driveway
423
00:28:01,389 --> 00:28:04,141
with his father and his older brother.
424
00:28:04,225 --> 00:28:06,936
That's where the family action was:
425
00:28:07,019 --> 00:28:10,106
Malcolm, John,
and Steve playing basketball.
426
00:28:10,189 --> 00:28:13,526
Naturally, they would sometimes win,
and that hurt him.
427
00:28:14,735 --> 00:28:17,071
Oh, it was terrible.
428
00:28:18,322 --> 00:28:22,493
My dad was a professor of middle
east history and politics, ucla.
429
00:28:22,577 --> 00:28:26,873
My mom was a full-time mom, but she
became a professor later on in life,
430
00:28:26,956 --> 00:28:29,542
so very academically minded family.
431
00:28:29,625 --> 00:28:32,753
Monday through Thursday,
we were not allowed to watch TV,
432
00:28:32,837 --> 00:28:34,589
unless there was a really big game on.
433
00:28:34,672 --> 00:28:37,008
So my dad came in handy on those nights.
434
00:28:39,051 --> 00:28:44,015
My dad's affiliation with ucla
stoked my fire for basketball.
435
00:28:44,098 --> 00:28:47,059
And going to pauley pavilion
in the early '70s
436
00:28:47,143 --> 00:28:50,271
as a five, six-year-old kid,
it was like magic.
437
00:28:50,354 --> 00:28:52,648
It was an incredible place to be.
438
00:28:52,732 --> 00:28:56,736
I/I/a/ton shoots and hits
the short shot from the left baseline.
439
00:29:01,073 --> 00:29:02,325
Uh, very little.
440
00:29:02,408 --> 00:29:06,329
Um... about the same attention that
I was getting from girls in high school.
441
00:29:06,412 --> 00:29:08,873
So, not many girls,
not many college recruiters.
442
00:29:08,956 --> 00:29:10,207
So...
443
00:29:11,125 --> 00:29:13,878
I finished my senior year
of high school without a scholarship,
444
00:29:13,961 --> 00:29:17,673
but Arizona offered me a scholarship,
kind of, at the last second.
445
00:29:17,757 --> 00:29:21,260
And I took it
without ever having visited the school.
446
00:29:21,344 --> 00:29:23,763
I was just thrilled
to have a place to go.
447
00:29:23,846 --> 00:29:25,932
And then, when I went off to college,
448
00:29:26,015 --> 00:29:29,644
my mom and my younger brother
went and joined my dad in Beirut.
449
00:29:31,896 --> 00:29:35,232
My dad left ucla
before I graduated high school
450
00:29:35,316 --> 00:29:38,235
and became the president
of the American university of Beirut.
451
00:29:38,319 --> 00:29:40,821
In the chapel
of a merican university of Beirut,
452
00:29:40,905 --> 00:29:43,824
the 777th school year officially began.
453
00:29:43,908 --> 00:29:47,203
With the summer of fighting
in Beirut, it almost didn't occur.
454
00:29:47,286 --> 00:29:48,746
A ub's acting president
455
00:29:48,829 --> 00:29:52,416
was kidnapped from the campus
three months ago and is still missing.
456
00:29:52,500 --> 00:29:55,252
A ub's new president belie ves
dodge is still alive.
457
00:29:55,336 --> 00:29:58,464
I was looking fonnard
to working with him as vice president.
458
00:29:58,965 --> 00:30:01,008
If I'd gotten here on time
on the 1st of July,
459
00:30:01,092 --> 00:30:03,594
it might have been me instead
of him who was kidnapped.
460
00:30:04,679 --> 00:30:07,306
He was a really good scholar
of the middle east.
461
00:30:07,390 --> 00:30:10,476
He was trying to produce students
that were tolerant,
462
00:30:10,559 --> 00:30:13,813
globally minded, humanitarian citizens.
463
00:30:15,606 --> 00:30:21,070
So it was a realization of a dream,
but didn't last very long.
464
00:30:21,779 --> 00:30:24,782
The international peacekeeping force
left the Beirut area last year,
465
00:30:24,865 --> 00:30:28,202
and life in the Lebanese capital
has become increasingly dangerous.
466
00:30:28,285 --> 00:30:30,246
It's bad for almost everyone
who lives there,
467
00:30:30,329 --> 00:30:32,790
but it is especially bad for Americans.
468
00:30:33,708 --> 00:30:35,918
Malcolm was visible American.
469
00:30:36,002 --> 00:30:39,922
He was representing a government
that stood for values
470
00:30:40,006 --> 00:30:43,342
that were contrary
to the sectarian militia.
471
00:30:50,933 --> 00:30:55,855
Well, it was raining.
I had just taught my class.
472
00:30:55,938 --> 00:31:00,276
I got a call from the guard
at the gate to, um...
473
00:31:01,986 --> 00:31:06,323
Go to the president's office,
and I went there, and, uh...
474
00:31:07,450 --> 00:31:10,870
I was told that Malcolm had been shot,
on the phone.
475
00:31:10,953 --> 00:31:13,289
And I thought maybe
just a leg or an arm.
476
00:31:13,956 --> 00:31:16,792
The president of the
American university in Beirut
477
00:31:16,876 --> 00:31:20,546
was shot in the head
by two gunmen posing as students.
478
00:31:20,629 --> 00:31:23,215
Malcolm kerr had just gotten off
an elevator
479
00:31:23,299 --> 00:31:26,385
and was about to go into a meeting
on campus when he was killed.
480
00:31:28,095 --> 00:31:31,390
Uh, so, I received a phone call
in the middle of the night
481
00:31:31,474 --> 00:31:33,726
from a family friend.
482
00:31:33,809 --> 00:31:36,979
My phone rang in my dorm
at three o'clock in the morning,
483
00:31:37,063 --> 00:31:39,065
so I knew something was up.
484
00:31:40,691 --> 00:31:42,234
And hejust said, uh...
485
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:46,113
He just said,
"Steve, I have terrible news."
486
00:31:51,911 --> 00:31:52,912
Yeah.
487
00:31:55,539 --> 00:31:57,659
The murdered academic
had long been popular
488
00:31:57,708 --> 00:31:59,043
with his colleagues in Beirut.
489
00:31:59,126 --> 00:32:00,544
Though he was an American,
490
00:32:00,628 --> 00:32:03,464
his roots within the arab world
were just as strong.
491
00:32:05,007 --> 00:32:07,676
Basketball was the one thing
that I could do
492
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:09,929
to take my mind off
what happened, you know?
493
00:32:13,015 --> 00:32:16,185
So, I went to practice, like,
the next day.
494
00:32:16,268 --> 00:32:18,354
You know, I didn't know what else to do.
495
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:23,025
We all react differently
to these things.
496
00:32:23,901 --> 00:32:28,322
Steve reacted by throwing himself
even more deeply
497
00:32:28,405 --> 00:32:30,533
into playing basketball.
498
00:32:31,700 --> 00:32:34,286
I used to think about it all the time
when I was playing.
499
00:32:34,370 --> 00:32:36,372
Uh, during the national anthem,
500
00:32:36,455 --> 00:32:39,875
I would always think about my dad
and think,
501
00:32:39,959 --> 00:32:42,962
“he would love this right now."
You know, he wouldn't even believe it.
502
00:32:43,045 --> 00:32:44,547
“He would love this."
503
00:32:49,051 --> 00:32:51,720
J“ oh, say, can you seej“
504
00:32:51,804 --> 00:32:55,599
j“ by the dawn's early I/ght j“
505
00:32:56,225 --> 00:33:00,479
j“ I/I/hat so proudly we hailed j“
506
00:33:00,563 --> 00:33:04,733
j“ at the twil/ght's last gleaming j“
507
00:33:04,817 --> 00:33:07,903
j“ I/I/hose broad str/pes
and br/ght stars... j“
508
00:33:07,987 --> 00:33:10,990
The latest
on Michael Jordan's physical condition.
509
00:33:11,073 --> 00:33:13,159
Jordan feeling much better.
510
00:33:13,242 --> 00:33:17,413
He's apparently made it back
from the difficult siege with the flu.
511
00:33:17,496 --> 00:33:20,666
I sense that Michael Jordan
is almost out of gas
512
00:33:20,749 --> 00:33:23,669
and will make a concerted effort
to end it tonight
513
00:33:23,752 --> 00:33:25,921
to avoid a seventh-game showdown.
514
00:33:26,755 --> 00:33:30,551
Chicago starting slowly,
and Utah is taking advantage of that.
515
00:33:30,634 --> 00:33:32,761
Hornacek... yes.
516
00:33:32,845 --> 00:33:34,205
Look out, Chicago.
517
00:33:34,263 --> 00:33:36,223
It's not gonna be easy
wrapping it up ton/ght.
518
00:33:36,307 --> 00:33:38,642
Karl Malone with 72 points.
519
00:33:38,726 --> 00:33:42,855
The jazz leading, 46-39.
520
00:33:42,938 --> 00:33:47,526
The ultimate trust from Michael comes
in the playoffs if you come through.
521
00:33:48,944 --> 00:33:51,989
I think he respected me
because he knew I fought,
522
00:33:52,072 --> 00:33:56,327
and I was competitive, and I worked,
and I got the most out of myself.
523
00:33:56,410 --> 00:33:59,622
But I hadn't performed
very well in the finals.
524
00:33:59,705 --> 00:34:01,498
That's a good block there.
525
00:34:01,999 --> 00:34:03,417
Kerr for three/
526
00:34:04,126 --> 00:34:05,794
I was struggling,
527
00:34:05,878 --> 00:34:08,881
and, um, you know,
I was so hard on myself.
528
00:34:08,964 --> 00:34:12,384
As a role player,
I'd get five shots a game.
529
00:34:12,468 --> 00:34:15,471
And so, every shot took on
way too much importance.
530
00:34:17,014 --> 00:34:19,767
Jordan. Yes/
531
00:34:20,351 --> 00:34:23,729
The bulls, 86-83.
532
00:34:23,812 --> 00:34:26,523
The jazz tied the game
with less than two minutes to play.
533
00:34:26,607 --> 00:34:28,651
Hornacek gotta save that pass.
534
00:34:28,734 --> 00:34:30,402
Russell for three/
535
00:34:30,486 --> 00:34:33,155
an enormous shot by bryon Russell.
536
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:36,242
He's tied the game at 86.
537
00:34:36,742 --> 00:34:39,745
Phil calls time-out,
and Michael knew what was coming.
538
00:34:40,496 --> 00:34:42,248
Earlier in the series,
539
00:34:42,331 --> 00:34:44,250
in a very similar situation
late in the game,
540
00:34:44,333 --> 00:34:47,086
John stockton had come over
and doubled him and stolen the ball,
541
00:34:47,169 --> 00:34:49,505
which helped seal the win for Utah.
542
00:34:49,588 --> 00:34:53,092
He mumbled something like,
"Steve, Steve, be ready."
543
00:34:53,968 --> 00:34:56,512
He knew the camera was always on him.
544
00:34:56,595 --> 00:34:58,180
You know, and I'm, like, oblivious.
545
00:34:58,264 --> 00:35:00,099
If he comes off, I'll be ready.
546
00:35:00,182 --> 00:35:03,894
And then, I'm like, yelling back, like,
"I'll be ready!"
547
00:35:16,657 --> 00:35:18,784
I know if they're gonna double-team me,
548
00:35:18,867 --> 00:35:20,160
Steve's gonna be open.
549
00:35:20,869 --> 00:35:22,579
It is Michael Jordan time.
550
00:35:22,663 --> 00:35:25,624
Did not have the shot. Kerr does.
551
00:35:26,292 --> 00:35:31,088
Ste ve kerr with five seconds remaining.
552
00:35:31,171 --> 00:35:33,549
Kerr hits the b/g shot.
553
00:35:33,632 --> 00:35:37,052
Crank up the John paxson '93 comparison.
554
00:35:37,136 --> 00:35:39,305
One last chance now for Utah.
555
00:35:39,388 --> 00:35:42,558
Five seconds remaining in regulation.
556
00:35:42,641 --> 00:35:44,560
Inbound .. Taken away by p/ppen.
557
00:35:44,643 --> 00:35:46,812
P/ppen rolls it to k ukoc.
558
00:35:46,895 --> 00:35:50,649
The Chicago Bulls have won
559
00:35:50,733 --> 00:35:54,653
their fifth championsh/p
in the last seven years.
560
00:35:54,737 --> 00:35:57,323
Just six tenths of a second remaining.
561
00:35:57,406 --> 00:35:58,824
It's a four-point lead
562
00:36:14,715 --> 00:36:17,593
Tonight, Steve kerr earned his wings,
563
00:36:17,676 --> 00:36:19,428
and I'm very happy for Steve.
564
00:36:31,231 --> 00:36:33,901
And now...
565
00:36:34,693 --> 00:36:39,281
Your 7997 world champions!
566
00:36:43,369 --> 00:36:47,206
A lot of people have been asking me
about the shot the other night,
567
00:36:47,289 --> 00:36:50,125
and there have been misconceptions
about what actually happened.
568
00:36:50,209 --> 00:36:51,794
I wanted to clear it up.
569
00:36:51,877 --> 00:36:54,963
When we called time-out
with 25 seconds to go...
570
00:36:56,006 --> 00:36:58,550
We went into the huddle,
and Phil told Michael.
571
00:36:58,634 --> 00:37:01,762
He said, "Michael,
I want you to take the last shot."
572
00:37:01,845 --> 00:37:03,205
And Michael said, "you know, Phil,
573
00:37:03,263 --> 00:37:05,933
I don't feel real comfortable
in these situations,
574
00:37:06,016 --> 00:37:09,895
so maybe we ought to go
in another direction.
575
00:37:09,978 --> 00:37:12,398
Why don't we go to Steve?"
576
00:37:16,110 --> 00:37:17,528
So, I thought to myself,
577
00:37:17,611 --> 00:37:20,114
"well, I guess
I gotta bail Michael out again."
578
00:37:21,740 --> 00:37:22,741
Anyway...
579
00:37:23,659 --> 00:37:25,911
The shot went in, and that's my story,
580
00:37:25,994 --> 00:37:27,413
and I'm sticking to it.
581
00:38:00,779 --> 00:38:02,364
It is game 7 in Chicago.
582
00:38:02,448 --> 00:38:04,283
This could very well be
583
00:38:04,366 --> 00:38:06,535
the last time we see the bulls
as we know them.
584
00:38:06,618 --> 00:38:09,037
The dynasty has been
shoved up to the brink,
585
00:38:09,121 --> 00:38:10,831
a game 7 with the pacers.
586
00:38:10,914 --> 00:38:14,293
If the unthinkable occurs,
and the bulls do go down in flames,
587
00:38:14,376 --> 00:38:16,545
life might return
to the pre-Jordan days,
588
00:38:16,628 --> 00:38:18,755
also know as the Tom boenninkle era.
589
00:38:24,511 --> 00:38:27,764
Um, I told them today that you can lose.
590
00:38:27,848 --> 00:38:30,328
You have to face the possibility
you can lose a game like this.
591
00:38:31,018 --> 00:38:33,228
Everybody thought
if the bulls were broken up,
592
00:38:33,312 --> 00:38:35,063
if the dynasty was to be ended,
593
00:38:35,147 --> 00:38:38,150
it would be ended, you know,
by somebody in a suit some place.
594
00:38:38,233 --> 00:38:40,527
Would be more closure
and there would be more justice
595
00:38:40,611 --> 00:38:42,321
if it happened on the floor.
596
00:38:43,906 --> 00:38:47,242
Mr. Jordan is taking a page
from Joe namath's book.
597
00:38:47,326 --> 00:38:49,995
We remember when he predicted
the jets would win super bowl I/I.
598
00:38:50,078 --> 00:38:51,872
We're gonna win game 7.
599
00:38:51,955 --> 00:38:54,416
We will win game 7.
600
00:38:57,169 --> 00:39:00,422
At that time, I hung around
with my security guys and George.
601
00:39:01,215 --> 00:39:03,425
They became my "entourage."
602
00:39:04,259 --> 00:39:07,179
I knew that the maturity
that I gathered from them
603
00:39:07,262 --> 00:39:09,598
would help me make sound decisions.
604
00:39:09,681 --> 00:39:14,686
I needed good, sound,
open-minded older guys saying,
605
00:39:14,770 --> 00:39:16,146
you know, keep my focus.
606
00:39:19,358 --> 00:39:24,363
Michael had a real warm spot
with his security guards.
607
00:39:24,446 --> 00:39:26,031
And the head of them was Gus.
608
00:39:30,285 --> 00:39:33,622
Gus was a Chicago police officer,
and I guess back in his younger days,
609
00:39:33,705 --> 00:39:35,624
he was pretty badass back in the day
610
00:39:35,707 --> 00:39:38,043
and well-respected
in the Chicago police department.
611
00:39:38,126 --> 00:39:40,045
He started as a patrolman,
612
00:39:40,128 --> 00:39:42,714
and he worked his way up
and became sergeant.
613
00:39:42,798 --> 00:39:46,718
He and some of his friends worked
for the united center as security.
614
00:39:47,219 --> 00:39:50,639
Gus befriended Michael
when he first came to Chicago,
615
00:39:50,722 --> 00:39:52,391
when he broke his foot.
616
00:39:53,433 --> 00:39:55,852
That's when Gus
would meet me at the car
617
00:39:55,936 --> 00:39:58,522
and make sure I get to my seat
and get to the locker room.
618
00:39:58,605 --> 00:40:00,148
We spent time together.
619
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:03,944
And from then on, it started to grow.
620
00:40:04,027 --> 00:40:05,571
He was a great protector for me.
621
00:40:05,654 --> 00:40:08,365
- Excuse us. Excuse me.
- No, we gotta go. We gotta go.
622
00:40:08,448 --> 00:40:11,118
He wouldn't let anybody through that
wasn't supposed to go through.
623
00:40:11,201 --> 00:40:14,454
Listen, everybody. Can we move this way
and kind of spread out a little?
624
00:40:14,538 --> 00:40:17,165
You know, nothing got past Gus.
625
00:40:17,249 --> 00:40:18,529
When people are around,
626
00:40:18,584 --> 00:40:21,003
they think they're entitled
to certain things.
627
00:40:21,086 --> 00:40:22,754
Gus would put 'em straight.
628
00:40:24,006 --> 00:40:26,008
That was Gus. He was a protector.
629
00:40:26,925 --> 00:40:28,510
But he was more than that,
630
00:40:28,594 --> 00:40:31,513
and I saw him for being more than that.
631
00:40:32,848 --> 00:40:37,144
At that time,
Michael was hurt about his dad.
632
00:40:37,227 --> 00:40:39,313
He still had a hard time with his death.
633
00:40:39,396 --> 00:40:43,775
And he would call him
crying at two o'clock in the morning.
634
00:40:43,859 --> 00:40:45,527
Gus would get up and go to him.
635
00:40:46,653 --> 00:40:49,323
He would get up and go see
about him. He was there for his...
636
00:40:49,406 --> 00:40:51,486
Whatever he needed,
he was there to take care of him.
637
00:40:53,035 --> 00:40:57,372
When my father got killed,
he became like a father figure to me.
638
00:40:58,248 --> 00:41:00,751
And I had to have him next to me
everywhere I went.
639
00:41:08,634 --> 00:41:11,553
Gus, can I throw a couple
questions at you while you're relaxing?
640
00:41:14,431 --> 00:41:15,783
Can I throw
a couple questions at you?
641
00:41:15,807 --> 00:41:16,808
Sure.
642
00:41:18,852 --> 00:41:20,520
When Gus got sick, um...
643
00:41:21,897 --> 00:41:24,775
Michael was the first one
to notice him being sick.
644
00:41:24,858 --> 00:41:27,319
They were traveling some place,
and he called to tell me that,
645
00:41:27,402 --> 00:41:29,863
he said, "tish,
you got to take him to the doctor."
646
00:41:29,946 --> 00:41:31,948
Gus was diagnosed with lung cancer.
647
00:41:32,032 --> 00:41:34,451
And, um... Michael was there.
648
00:41:35,661 --> 00:41:37,829
He was there in the hospital with us.
649
00:41:37,913 --> 00:41:39,748
He was there in my home.
650
00:41:39,831 --> 00:41:41,416
He was there calling.
651
00:41:41,500 --> 00:41:43,418
As I said, he was there for him.
652
00:41:44,086 --> 00:41:47,089
Well, he got cancer, and, um...
653
00:41:47,798 --> 00:41:51,635
You know, he took a leave of absence
from us and went for his treatments.
654
00:41:51,718 --> 00:41:54,763
So, when Gus came back
before the game 7,
655
00:41:54,846 --> 00:41:58,475
he looked frail, but he had that Gus,
that smile on him.
656
00:41:58,558 --> 00:42:01,269
It was like, "we got the band
back together" kind of thing.
657
00:42:01,353 --> 00:42:02,562
- Hey.
- Hey.
658
00:42:02,646 --> 00:42:05,357
How you doing, Gus? Look okay, buddy.
659
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:06,608
Vacation's over, huh?
660
00:42:07,317 --> 00:42:10,028
Get you back to work.
661
00:42:10,112 --> 00:42:12,614
He was inspiration for me.
662
00:42:13,615 --> 00:42:15,867
You know,
I wanted to win this game for Gus.
663
00:42:22,124 --> 00:42:24,292
It'll be interesting
to see what happens.
664
00:42:33,635 --> 00:42:34,761
Hmm.
665
00:42:48,567 --> 00:42:49,568
I...
666
00:42:59,578 --> 00:43:01,413
Knowing it was going to a game 7,
667
00:43:01,496 --> 00:43:04,166
having an opportunity
to knock Michael out of the playoffs
668
00:43:04,249 --> 00:43:05,625
was special for that group.
669
00:43:06,877 --> 00:43:09,588
We hadn't been tested
like that in a long time.
670
00:43:09,671 --> 00:43:11,840
We were all mentally exhausted,
671
00:43:11,923 --> 00:43:13,759
you know, physically exhausted.
672
00:43:33,945 --> 00:43:35,197
Defense.
673
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:37,949
Defense wins it now.
Rebounds and defense.
674
00:43:38,867 --> 00:43:40,577
Miller lobs to smits.
675
00:43:40,660 --> 00:43:44,164
He finds Dale Davis,
who gets inside for the dunk.
676
00:43:44,247 --> 00:43:47,042
Michael, with his back to the basket,
guarded by Miller.
677
00:43:47,125 --> 00:43:49,961
Spins into the Lane
and misses the jumper.
678
00:43:50,045 --> 00:43:52,672
In a game 7, anything is possible.
679
00:43:52,756 --> 00:43:57,594
You rip up game plans
because in a game 7, it doesn't matter.
680
00:43:57,677 --> 00:43:59,554
It's all whoever wants it more.
681
00:44:00,347 --> 00:44:03,266
It's k ukoc alone on him.
Harper comes on the double.
682
00:44:03,350 --> 00:44:06,937
Davis hits the turnaround,
and the pacers lead by a dozen.
683
00:44:08,980 --> 00:44:11,650
We were down 12 right away,
in the first quarter.
684
00:44:11,733 --> 00:44:12,734
They came out on fire.
685
00:44:13,443 --> 00:44:15,612
We had to claw our way back in.
686
00:44:16,363 --> 00:44:19,115
It's a two-on-one break.
Michael to p/ppen...
687
00:44:20,826 --> 00:44:22,494
Jordan back the other way
688
00:44:22,577 --> 00:44:25,247
it's kerr, his three... is there/
689
00:44:27,415 --> 00:44:31,002
Jordan splits the defense
and ties the game.
690
00:44:31,086 --> 00:44:35,006
Michael Jordan is now
the all-time-leading postseason scorer.
691
00:44:38,093 --> 00:44:41,429
Jordan to the hoop,
then dishes it out to p/ppen.
692
00:44:41,513 --> 00:44:43,765
Crosscourt, kerr, open three.
693
00:44:43,849 --> 00:44:46,768
Got it.
694
00:44:46,852 --> 00:44:48,311
We got back into the game,
695
00:44:48,395 --> 00:44:50,814
and I thought we were gonna pull away.
696
00:44:50,897 --> 00:44:52,816
Around an Antonio Davis screen...
697
00:44:52,899 --> 00:44:54,276
They made a great comeback.
698
00:44:54,359 --> 00:44:57,153
Evens the issue at 69.
699
00:44:57,237 --> 00:44:59,573
Chicago once led by as many as e/ght.
700
00:44:59,656 --> 00:45:01,741
Indiana's on an 77 -0 run.
701
00:45:05,620 --> 00:45:07,455
And the bulls want to talk it over.
702
00:45:08,206 --> 00:45:09,875
When they called time-out,
703
00:45:09,958 --> 00:45:12,502
I just remembered just jumping,
giving high fives,
704
00:45:12,586 --> 00:45:15,046
chest-bumping like,
"we got this. Hell, yeah!"
705
00:45:21,928 --> 00:45:22,989
I got Mark Jackson.
706
00:45:23,013 --> 00:45:24,931
Move the ball ahead of the foul.
707
00:45:25,015 --> 00:45:28,310
Look, six minutes left in game 7,
I thought indy was gonna win.
708
00:45:29,227 --> 00:45:30,979
Fourth quarter, we're down.
709
00:45:31,730 --> 00:45:33,732
You know, the thought ran
through my mind,
710
00:45:33,815 --> 00:45:34,900
"man, this could be it."
711
00:45:36,401 --> 00:45:39,404
Jordan, knocked away
by mck e y and cleanly
712
00:45:40,238 --> 00:45:41,990
and a jump ball is called
713
00:45:43,950 --> 00:45:47,329
we had the lead,
but it came down to one jump ball.
714
00:45:48,413 --> 00:45:50,081
How b/g is this jump ball?
715
00:45:50,165 --> 00:45:52,834
You get this jump ball,
you got a chance to go up five.
716
00:45:52,918 --> 00:45:57,631
If we win thatjump ball
and go down and score and go up 5,
717
00:45:57,714 --> 00:45:59,341
this could be it for them.
718
00:45:59,424 --> 00:46:01,760
Michael can really jump,
but smits is 7 '4 ”.
719
00:46:01,843 --> 00:46:03,845
Smits t/pped it, but fight to p/ppen.
720
00:46:05,096 --> 00:46:06,932
They win thejump ball.
721
00:46:07,724 --> 00:46:10,226
It finds the hands of Steve kerr.
722
00:46:12,979 --> 00:46:14,856
Kerr can tie it.
723
00:46:14,940 --> 00:46:16,942
/t does/ -
724
00:46:17,025 --> 00:46:19,444
Steve kerr spotting up.
He's been b/g today
725
00:46:19,527 --> 00:46:21,738
this is his eleventh point of the game.
726
00:46:21,821 --> 00:46:25,575
Steve kerr hit the biggest
shot of that series.
727
00:46:25,659 --> 00:46:29,287
And, to me, I think that's where
everything went downhill for us.
728
00:46:29,371 --> 00:46:31,414
It changed everything.
729
00:46:31,498 --> 00:46:33,333
All of a sudden,
730
00:46:33,416 --> 00:46:35,585
a volt of electricity
went through the building.
731
00:46:36,169 --> 00:46:37,462
P/ppen.
732
00:46:37,545 --> 00:46:38,922
Chicago leads it.
733
00:46:39,005 --> 00:46:40,006
Five on the shot clock.
734
00:46:40,090 --> 00:46:42,717
Michael dumps it off to an open long/e y
735
00:46:43,426 --> 00:46:47,722
the bulls have a little bit
of breathing room, ahead by four.
736
00:46:48,848 --> 00:46:52,519
They look for smits. Harper defiects it
and comes up with the steal.
737
00:46:53,061 --> 00:46:56,648
It was like we were a
ninth-grade jv team that had no shot.
738
00:46:56,731 --> 00:47:00,568
Throws up a little hook.
It bounces home, plus a foul/
739
00:47:06,825 --> 00:47:08,410
And onto the finals,
740
00:47:08,493 --> 00:47:11,955
for the sixth time in e/ght years
go the Chicago Bulls.
741
00:47:16,876 --> 00:47:19,879
We had the better team.
I really do believe that.
742
00:47:19,963 --> 00:47:24,676
But championship DNA
and championship experience
743
00:47:24,759 --> 00:47:28,930
really Rose to the forefront
in game 7 for Chicago.
744
00:47:36,187 --> 00:47:37,939
You know what was great?
745
00:47:38,606 --> 00:47:41,609
Not only did the team win, but, uh...
746
00:47:42,861 --> 00:47:45,280
Michael snatched the game ball for me.
747
00:47:45,363 --> 00:47:48,908
That's... that's all right.
It's all right.
748
00:47:48,992 --> 00:47:51,411
We got four more, dog. Four more.
749
00:47:51,494 --> 00:47:53,079
Four more. This shit is hard.
750
00:47:54,122 --> 00:47:56,541
We can't wait to smile
at the end of the day!
751
00:47:56,624 --> 00:47:57,876
Way to go, d-rod!
752
00:47:58,877 --> 00:48:01,629
Way to go!
753
00:48:01,713 --> 00:48:03,089
- Big shots, boy.
- Thank you.
754
00:48:03,173 --> 00:48:05,425
Way to go, Luc. Way to come in, jud.
755
00:48:05,508 --> 00:48:07,761
That's huge. That's huge, man.
756
00:48:07,844 --> 00:48:11,056
That's the hardest we worked in,
geez, 13 years.
757
00:48:11,139 --> 00:48:12,390
Goddamn!
758
00:48:13,141 --> 00:48:14,225
Whoo!
759
00:48:15,727 --> 00:48:17,447
I knew I had to bring in
the ace in the hole
760
00:48:17,479 --> 00:48:19,481
- for us to win the game.
- Yeah!
761
00:48:19,564 --> 00:48:21,900
That's why we're struggling.
Your ass ain't around no more.
762
00:48:22,859 --> 00:48:24,611
We got to take you out to Utah.
