Little known fact: This is the only Knicks playoff victory in Chicago in the history of the New York Knicks. The Bulls are 18-1 lifetime at home against the Knicks in the playoffs.
I love how after Oakley hammers 7"1" Cartwright, everybody on both teams just looks around as opposed to jumping in and doing whatever jostling they would do today, ultimately bringing more attention to the foul... BTW love Riley's reaction, he doesn't even care
I like the physical play of the 80's and 90's, the game was much more exciting. Todays game is just weak, players are bigger and stronger, but they dont want to bang.
This was the best Eastern Conference playoff series I can remember from the past 20 years by far. I think that if the Knicks had made it through they would've beaten the Trailblazers in 6 games like the Bulls did. Problem was, MJ and Pip weren't havin it!!
man paxson was friggin huge for the bulls, nd by tha ForEmily23 wassup wit ya,and one of my associates thinks Lebron James is better than Michael Jordan , but luk up to at least dis season which is is Mj's 8th year and bout 31 but STIL!! dominating, giv him more evidence why he prob won't and if he will you can say that also, o and WEN R YOU GON START makin dese BOMB-AZZ!!! videos ma we waitin for ya
When Michael got you in that post during that era, it was like a torture chamber. I don't care how good an opposing player was defensively. Jordan just had a million and one post moves and impeccable balance.
glad this is posted ,but i lived these games...kinda hard to watch,only time we beat them was when JORDAN was in retirement.and it still took 7 games to beat a s. pippen led team.....
people talk about how physical the detroit series was,but damn,bodies were flying everywhere when these two collided! bulls finally take care of the bad boys in detroit and find the physical knicks the next year
even tho he just got his claim to the hall of fame recently i still think Pat ewing would just have URGES to do a move and not stickin to what he could do he went and wanted to try thing and they always ended up sloppy lol
if i can see im pretty sure there starting line up for this game is B.J.(1), PAXSON (2), JORDAN (3), PIPPEN (4) and GRANT at the (5)..............is that correct plz comment
The NBA today is like toilet tissue: soft.....there are too many crybabies in the league who care more about their contracts than playing the sport with passion and fire.....they should call it the NBPA.....National Basketball for Pussies Association
what a series!! the knicks back then were awesome.. too bad they played against the GOAT!! the knicks defense was great.. but still, michael can't be handled!! the greatest indeed!!
Great job on the uploads. This was such a physical series. Notice at the 8:17 mark, Ewing and Cartwirght are literally in a wrestling match and the ref lets them keep playing. Not in today's game.
"Mad House @ Madison" or "The Mecca of Basketball". Take your pick. Both arenas starred the legendary "Air" attack. Be it, mid '80s classics of 45+ points cradle & facial dunks outburst or early to mid '90s battling out the toughest defense ever invented within the rules scrouching 54 pts, 55 pts outbursts. When smoke cleared & dusk settled, only humans left gasping for breath were Knicks fans & their beloved Knickerborkers. Absolute Classic & toughest rivalry in modern day NBA. case closed.
The Bulls & Knicks battles were legendary. It was a huge rivalry and the intensity of it showed everytime they got together. As much as MJ loved to play at CS he loved to scorch the Knicks at MSG. His 55 pt. game is most memorable.
I remember thinking a month ago how few new MJ games were beeing uploading then all of the sudden there were all over the place...
You`re really delivering the goods bro evendough veiwers numbers don`t seem to justify it.Quality-wise they are as good as anybodys..Just keep in mind that Hoops was a small-time at first,but look at him now,I guess everybody has to pay the dues...
Don`t see any reason why you shouldn`t be in the same category
Notice how at 7:15 Ewing is playing zone inside the paint. A little while later we see the Knicks playing a zone inside the paint. Don't tell me Jordan never faced the zone defense!
That Knicks defense from the early 90s is probably the toughest defense ever in the history of the game. A hundred times tougher, and allowed WAY more leeway as far as physical play goes, than any defense today.
" thats ridiculous thats so good"... this game could be made into a highlight video by itself for Jordan.. you get one guy in todays game doing that now and they would make headlines for days.. for Jordan, just another game..
Funny how easily people forget. He was making splitting and avoiding double and triple teams, as basic as a layup. It was as if he was a step ahead of them at all times.

1992-1994 knicks were the best knicks team ever assembled. Its hard to imagine they couldn't win atleast one championship in those 3 years.
This shows how tough MJ was mentally MJ was. depriving every deserving opponent of the ring.
