1994 NBA FINALS Game 7 Rockets/Knicks (Closing Minute)

[Benji12586]

John Starks kinda reminds me of A.J. Burnett. When he's good, he's amazing nad when he's bad, he's terrible. Feel bad for the guy.

I miss this game. It reminds me of my childhood and the GOLDEN ERA IN NBA HISTORY.

This game was really a CLASSIC. It really deserves to be ONE OF THE 50 GREATEST GAMES IN NBA HISTORY. And HAKEEM OLAJUWON of the Houston Rockets deserves to be included in the elite list of THE 10 GREATEST PLAYERS IN NBA HISTORY.

Riley and Tomjanovich: two handsome generals.

wow, haven't seen this in years, and it still hurts.......someday Knicks, someday....

[TheKapei22]

I guess it's the worst game of John Starks. no 3 pointers haha

[Fidelvzla]

Yeah, but without him they would ve won anyways..... but the Kincks needed him all the time, and couldnt finish it

[frusionnn]

in all honesty, to this day 16-17 years later, I still wonder if Hakeem Olajuwon called Michael (Air) Jeffrey Jordan on the phone to thank him for being retired all of 1994 & most of 95 for Olajuwon to not face him in the finals. let me know if anybody thought/thinks likewise

[mrobataille1]

@frusionnn That's a thought reserved for sports journalists, spectators, and other non-participants. As any competitor would know, the only players that matter are the ones who show up.

[frusionnn]

@mrobataille1 doesn't mean you (as a fan) can't speculate.

[jazzalex22]

@frusionnn I think Michael congratulated Hakeem. He said that in a game against the Rockets the previous year, Jordan had said "Hakeem will get titles one day." And of course the best athlete IMO was always right.

[Laydeezmancris]

@frusionnn not quite. for one thing, phil jackson himself said that hakeem in his prime would have killed the bulls.

[frusionnn]

@Laydeezmancris when did Phil Jackson say that? show me a clip as well if there is one.

[Laydeezmancris]

@frusionnn it wasnt on a video clip. actually i should have pointed out he was echoing michael jordan's point about the rockets being a matchup nightmare for the bulls because hakeem was better than the other big men. and it was in a media locker room huddle if im not mistaken. ill look into it to see if i can dig up where i got it from.

[frusionnn]

@Laydeezmancris alright, let me know.

[kimmy1984]

BTW the Rockets were the FIRST NBA team to share the championship trophy ceremony on the court. Now everyone does it.

[kimmy1984]

Love Hakeem he deserved this win as well as the next years win.

[TheReason77]

Starks was DEAD BROKE!!

[KWCline91]

@TheReason77 That's why he'll always be the man who choked after getting stuffed by Hakeem!

[Ekizzle08]

8:17-8:19 ahahaha "Get away from me let me collect myself"

[rxp1019]

starks choked this game away

[GoodTimesBadTimes76]

the knicks always get fucked over we need a championship really bad

[thenintendogamer]

Could a winner look so depressed as Olajuwon? LOL GO ROCKETS!!!

[ixceix]

@thenintendogamer

i think he was in shock.

[FallGuy82]

@thenintendogamer He was just in disbelief. After all those close calls and near misses in college and his finals loss to the Celtics, he needed time to let it all sink in.

[Fidelvzla]

Poor Ewing, never won any shit...

[frusionnn]

@Fidelvzla besides two olympic gold medals =X

[jzubov]

I was at this game was 14 years old and remember it very well....
