No, this isn't another tribute clip for the 1996 NBA Finals! This is my Dennis Rodman clip. It is from the end of game six of those Finals between Rodman and the Chicago Bulls versus the Seattle Supersonics. To recap; Chicago won 87-75 to win their fourth title in six years. Rodman won his third title overall and his first as a Bull. This is the NBC Intro to game 1 of the 1996 Eastern Conference Finals between the Chicago Bulls and the Orlando Magic. Orlando had beaten the Bulls the previous season in six games during round two, and this intro is actually humorous, as Lil' Penny gives the intro. Also noteworthy is the absence of Marv Albert; he missed game one of this series to attend one of his kids' graduations, so Greg Gumbel filled in. As it turned out, the Magic also decided not to show up; they were blown out 121-83 in this game, and eventually were swept by the Bulls in what proved to be Shaquille O'Neal's swan song with the team. |
