wow, i remember taping this very game as a kid and watching it over and over. thank you, FreshWesss for uploading it. i really miss the NBA on NBC, the intro, the matchups, the teams, coaches, just everything the NBA used to be
We definetly should have had a Knicks-Bulls East Finals this season....and would have if not for the stupid brawl in the Heat series, and Stern's subsequent suspensions. It would have been a classic series and the Knicks had their best chance out of all the matchups in the 90's to beat them this year w/this team.
People forget that this 1996-97 Knicks team was the best team of the 90's Even better then the 60-win 1992-93 team that the Bulls beat in six in the East Finals. This team took a while to gel w/new acquisitions Houston and LJ....after that they took off, won 57 games and were easily right there with the Bulls at the top of the league. The Knicks took the final two reg season games this season---this game and winning in Chicago the final day of the season to deny the Bulls win #70.
How are the knicks the best team ever if they never won a championship? The Bulls dominated the knicks in the 90's. KNICKS SUCK ASS and Ewing had to retire knowing he's not a champion.
The knicks were robbed by david stern!!! he fabricated jordan just like he is fabricating labron today. MJ is an overrated player, ewing is much better. David Stern is currupted. THe knicks were robbed in 1992, 94- 95- 96 -97 -98 - 99-00 , that's 9 rings that ewing and starks should have had but were robbed my stern and the bulls!!!! jordan sucks, ewing is the true king of the kings, the true superman. starks is better than kobe!!!!!
What? LOL. Ewing was great, but Jordan is the greatest. MJ would have had 8 rings if he did not retire in 94. John Starks was just a second hand man, Ewings BITCH lol. Starks is better Kobe, get the fuck out of here. Your saying that Ewing and Starks who won 0 rings, is better than MJ and kobe who have now 10 rings between them, Your on something man lol. Micheal Jordan and Reggie Miller were New Yorks Worst nightmares.
how did u make that theory,jordan averaged 35 ppg vs the knicks in the 90,s.starks was jordans bitch.even when mike had off games he,d get over 25 ppg on the knicks.remember mikes double nickel on starks.joe dumars,mitch richmond,and ron harper were the best defenders on mike.and thats it..period.john starks?lmao...cocaine and crack is definately a hell of a drug.
5:20-WCW president Eric Bischoff(the guy in the black NWO t-shirt) is the unhappiest person in the arena.first he ends up seated behind the NY bench despite his relationship with Rodman,then Ewing's winning basket blows any chance for he and Hulk Hogan to get free publicity with post game interviews.Hogan ended up with zero screen time and wasn't even part of NBC's celebrity shots!
This was a GREAT game...remember this like it was yesterday! I felt the same excitement watching this now as I did back then....The 97' Knicks were a great sqaud(Miami's thuggery ruined everything for us!)...we would have given it to Chicago in the east finals that year had we gotten there.
The Knicks and Bulls actually split the four games they played that season, each winning once on the other's home court. In fact, the Knicks outscored the Bulls when combining the results from all four games. And before the P.J. Brown/Charlie Ward incident and the suspensions, the Knicks were rolling in the playoffs, sweeping Charlotte and led the Heat 3-1. It's safe to say the Knicks would have had a great shot against the Bulls. Something the NBA wanted to avoid? We'll never know.
well i meant on a physicality basis. in the early 90's and late 80's the knicks always whooped ass on the bulls. beatin michael up and fouling the shit out of every1. physical wise no but playin yea. my fault noeellinas
Hulk Hogan we coming for you, Nigga!!!
