New York Knicks 1998-1999 Tribute

[analbeadsish]

back when we played defense... fire d'antoni

[JML6056]

100% without question Chris Dudley was the reason that team went to the finals!!!!.... lol

[WONtothaG]

this knick team showed tremendous heart. i'll never forget this squad.

[lisajoe23]

That was a nice memory, But I'm going to admit I still missed Starks and Oakley it just wasn't the same after they left.and honestly it would have Broken my Heart if the knicks would have won a championship without those"2" who really played their hearts out.Now, look at the knicks, I guess what goes around comes around.

But now it's been awhile and it would be Freaking fantastic for them to have a Championship team out there. They need to make some changes starting with the front office

[AmEeR139143424]

Even though I didn't watch the NBA at this era, I feel bad because the NBA is boring right now. I wish I had watched Sprewell, T-Mac, J-kidd at their best.

[johnschwerdt]

I used to have the back page from the day after Houston's shot in my video game room for years growing up. The Monday after I bought Spree candy from a convenience store and Spree went off for 31 in game 1 the next night against the Hawks. It started a superstition where I brought Spree candy to school every day and all my friends who were following this run would take one for the entirety of the run. These guys and the 2007 Giants will always be my squads.

[rebelartist]

thug ball baby. Thats what we need to get back to.

[foghorn125]

song and artist?

[SUPERAPE22]

dude. seriously? it says it at the very beginning of the video.

[foghorn125]

awkward, nevermind

[phatal82]

I still wonder why the knicks didn't play Camby and Ewing together on the floor in the Spurs series to counter Duncan and Robinson. People forget, Ewing didn't play that series with the Pacers. Camby really stepped it up. When Ewing came back, their flow changed... ah well.... still sweet memories. i dyed my hair blue during those playoffs for the knickerbockers. Orange and blue, baby... lets hope for 2010 Lebron and D-Wade.

[tscotwv]

Are you referring to the 99 finals series against the Spurs? Ewing didnt play because of his achillies injury and pulled out during the ECF against the Pacers. I believe it was 2000 that some beleived Ewing messed up the flow.

[lordpenalshaft]

The best video to ever grace youtube. All who truly love the mecca of basketball, represent.

[stheodorid]

Those Knicks were the best team ever IMO in terms of passion and enthusiasm!

I just LOVED them!!!

[Ulrich11]

Oh my god... what a team... I mean, Allan Houston, Latrell Spreewell, Larry Johnson, Pat Ewing, Marcus Camby... I love those Knicks

[liweiwu007]

the knicks made a lot of stupid trades in recent years. the trades for camby and sprewell were great, and then they traded them for antonio mcdick who couldn't even stay healthy and keith van corn who is like retired now. they signed allan houston to a big contract who couldn't even play, and they traded prospects like channing frye and trevor ariza for steve freaking francis who is out of the league probably by now. the worst trade ever was trading pat ewing to seattle for glen noodle.

[Ulrich11]

I'm not a Knicks fan but is sad their situation... I honestly want to see again an aceptable NYK team

[liweiwu007]

acceptable is not good enough. they have to be a championship team.

[tscotwv]

Indeed alot of stupid trades. But in the case of Antonio McDyess not staying healthy, dont forget that Marcus Camby had his share of health problems and most occured while he was a Knick. I can understand the frustration but I do wish they had been a little more paitent. How many DPOTY awards did he win later in Denver?

[serge809]

those fucking 90's.....

[mrbatchtv]

cool vid fam. if doc rivers didn't blow out his knee the knicks would have a chip. all the other guards during ewings era doc was the one to get em there.

[liweiwu007]

he wouldn't have made the difference. rolando blackman should have replaced john starks in game 7.

[estacarubinos]

GREAT Larry Jhonson

[Pblglvn]

the best

[brightnight609]

thanks for the vid. the atmosphere was amazing at msg

[mackdatrack]

check out camby giving mutumbo a facial at1:50-1:09

[Carlitos1010]

Knickerbockers I still believe in you and I always will,... you gave me the shivers in 99 ;)

[GoNyGoNyGo92]

Yoo Guyss THE KNICKS WILL BE BACK.... Mark My Words ....Although you should miss the Glory 90's of the knicks and the NBA in general... The knicks in the moment are in middle of a playoff race we beat the Spurs after all star break...Knicks Fans lets go back to the Garden and root for this team again like the way we use to in the Glory 90s....This year is the year of the beginning of a new glory era and it all started last night so please my old Knicks fans head back to the Garden GO NY GO NY GO

[Carlitos1010]

Right on! ... and when the Knicks don't live in the playoffs they live in my heart. GO NY GO NY GO !!!

[demonraiser112]

these are the moments that make me still a knick fan although they suck right now

[onkyotx3000]

as much as i would love to see the knicks win the championship when they do it just would not feel as good if they were to win back in 1999. i don't think to many knick fans can argue with that . they just ain't the same with out ewing any more they NEED another big legend at the center end of story.

[JJerkins07]

The defense Chris Childs put on Mark Jackson at 1:56 is classic.

[bmatt820]

I get chills watching this..!!

[Vermicus]

New York Knicks 1999 was one of the best team in NBA history. This passion and heart - AMAZING !!!

[Appletondon]

In this era though I liked pretty much the whole team but Camby and Spree was my fave playas, Ward was a damn hustla wit much heart(damn football playin azz lol!) LJ was hurt but played wit much heart,what happend to Sprewell by the way?

[Appletondon]

That video brought back so many good memories man i miss those knicks when they the thugs of the nba tough and gritty also miss the older era with starks,oakley,ewing and mason and so forth the knicks use to be the shit back in the days even though Ill alwayz rep them they have really been garbage for the last few years, but hopefully theres improvement this year much potential in crawford,they need to keep david lee(dat boy hustle),and Curry needs to play like he did back in 06-07

[Showtime0007]

man can't believe its been a decade- feels like yesterday that houston beat the heat in round 1 and lj's 3 pointer in the eastern conference finals. hopefully the knicks make some noise this year!

[lpmiller1]

i remember exactly where i was when LJ hit that 3 pointer. it was June 5, my brothers birthday, we were in the Cheesecake Factory and the entire restaurant was crowded around the TVs. The shot went up and it felt like an eternity, the whole restaurant fell silent with the garden...Then New York shook... miss those days...

[EvilWilderness]

I miss this NY Knicks team when they play the game of basketball with passion and for the fans.I hope someday before my time is finish in this world, I like to see the NYK win the Championship!!

[newyorkguy80]

Those were the days im scared to say we'll never see not only a championship team but a respectable team ever again BUT STILL GO NY GO NY GO!!!

[nyknicks126]

beautiful

[MIMIOMAR]

man i loved this team. 2 bad ewing was injured 4 the finals

[blakman718]

Sprewell saved the NBA that year. The Knicks could be back if we get OJ Mayo

[weshnolefan]

Im not really a Knicks fan but I watched that team all season. Im a big Charlie Ward fan so thats part of it I guess. Anyway I must have been a good luck charm or something. That was an amazing playoff run, especially considering guys like LJ and Ewing were past their prime an they had a ton of injuries.

[yoyobambam]

those were the knicks days.... not anymore but watch one day they will become good again..

[doit18seven]

thats why h20, spree and camby stepped up! ;)

3-5 years the knicks will be back on top!

[lordjayvideos]

Was the footage for this mix taken from the NBA's Upsets & Underdogs? Great mix

[king5alomon]

damn way back in the day when the knicks used to b feared. it sure isnt like that now :,-(

[knockyurazz]

LJ!!!!

[KnicksinGH]

Awesome video. Brought a tear to my eye

[drinkerman5000]

i'd rather have this team rather than the whack ones we have now

[realrocky8591]

Agreed. I would have went to hell and back with those 12 individuals on the team if needed be.
