  • If Ewing wasn't injured, they would've won.

  • Sprewell the best KNICK ever. Period.

  • 0:12 your hear that Garden roar?  Epic.

  • Bring Back The NBA From The 90's On ABC & Let's Not Forget BOB COSTAS!!!

  • knicks sold they soul when they gave soft allan houston a max contract and pushed spree out the door after him & camby singlehandedly carried them to the finals. damn corporate cowards.

  • This is EPIC. I miss these days. I'm from Sac & got to watch Spree alot when he played in Oakland. I loved watching him play in Oak & in NY. I wish the Kings woulda traded for him before the Knicks did. Can you envision what it woulda been like to see Spree running with CWebb, Divac, JWill, & Peja?? Woulda been unstoppable.

  • i miss sprewell :[....

  • 1999 NBA TITLE*

    *SHORT SEASON

  • damn i remember how much that game hurt. Spree put us on his bacc. 35 points out of a 77 point team total. what the hell was mr. 100 million dollar houston doing. that forever soured allan houston in my eye. never showed up when it counted unless it was agianst miami!!!

  • yes to both of you nba on nbc was classic even then music was good. he did good enough job for new york to retire him and houston jersey

  • is it just me or in the opening dunk by spree did it look like he was in the air a long time?

  • What a playoff atmosphere! what an amazing nba broadcast!

  • damn listen to that new york crowd when knicks are on defense...staples center doesnt even compare to this (im from LA)

  • Faster player in NBA history, Spree is a legend, his 2 hands dunk was epic

  • we need that kind of heart nowadays in the garden jeff gave them boys some heart

  • @tiltop11 It's a different game today. That follows on the shoulders of the coach. Antoni is not a right fit for New York and was a head scratcher for me when got him. Unless he adjusts his defensive startegy, the knicks will be just another good team that could have been.

  • Sprewell could be even better than Kobe now (at 99 he was actually way better than Kobe) but instead he became famous for his fighting with coaches and arrogance off the court, what a talent wasted!!

  • How could these crazy Knicks fan know that this would be their last Finals apperance before total corruption in 2000s??

  • is it just me but damn i miss good ole basketball games like this man. Sunday sitting around with ur family just came from church big mama cooking up a meal and just sitting with ur famz watching baskeball. Damn yah i know its 2011 but the 90's was the years and we need that back. lol

  • @Ballistic718 amen!

  • @Ballistic718 I was lucky enough to watch MJ play on a Sunday...changed my life forever.

  • @Ballistic718 I agree completely!

  • @Ballistic718 I agree with all of that except the church part, we'd all be soooo much better off without religion...anyway, miss the nba on bc too

  • what if the knicks were healthy coming to the finals probably not a 4-1 series

  • i remember this game very well. I was rooting for the knicks to extend the series,and sprewell was on one of the hottest streaks I've seen. Too bad the knicks couldn't win,and sprewell couldn't make the most of the next couple years. he was honestly a great player! I really miss those Knick teams!

  • @cyrusman122000 loll I feel you on that one bro, I first started watching basketball this year as a kid. It was special cause' I was goin crazy for the Knicks to win. They had such a good team with Houston, Spreewell, Ewing, Ward, etc. This was their title, I bet these Knicks could easily take the Knicks today with Melo and Stod. Anyway tho, Knicks all the wayyyy lol

  • tremendous game!

  • He was unconscious in this game

  • i miss that song :(

  • at forward 6-5 from alabama, #8 LATRELLLLLLL SPREEEWELLLLLLL

  • We Knick fans loved this guy.

  • IF U LEAVE NEW YORK U DONT GO ANYWHERE

  • Sprewell and Rasheed Wallace are the craziest dunkers. I really miss those 2 guys ! Shaq makes the funniest shows because he can dance and he's Shaq Attack. And I love Carter too but I think he takes his job too seriously. Well he never laughs.

  • nasty good move at 3:00

  • lol i just bought his jersey in a thrift store for 5 bucks!! i was mad hyped

  • even without big name players like anthony, the garden was just louder back then

  • Oh man I miss watching NBA games on NBC. Those were the days.

  • Spree was my fav NBA player all time..!

  • Spreewell > Stat & Melo

  • @HooliganMovement yea in heart

  • I don't care what anyone says he was one of the greatest knicks of all time. That is why I still, 'til this day, wear his jersey.

  • Damn you hear that garden crowd? We need that again.

  • he was the unsung hero of these finals even though they didnt win.

  • the knicks were the ultimate underdogs in the 90s man. if it werent for the damned bulls, spurs, and rockets, they would've made a great legacy. 2 finals appearances (8th seed in 1999) in the 90s is too hard for any regular team.

  • sprewell was on FIRE that game

  • i said b4 i'll say it again the knicks will never win until they get the same look that Spree had in his eye after destroying Jaren Jackson. Shit the NBA needs to get that look in its eye back. i get tired of seeing this sad excuse for intense Bball in 2days NBA

  • @DL212 hell yeah, i maybe a celtics fan, but this guy was a fuckin beast, i wish he continued his career and stayed with the timberwolves cause he did turn down a good deal.

  • Spree! The Gangsta Hoopa!

  • too bad this guy was a moron.

  • 4:21 - that music kicks in and triggers all the best memories!

  • Lemme tell you somethin man, this is what basketball is all about man.

    This is what SPORTS is all about. PASSION. HEART. TOUGHNESS. FIERCENESS.

    That's what NEW YORK is all about.

    And that is ABSO-FUCKIN-LUTELY what Spree repped. He's one of my favorite Knicks of all time.

    That scowl on the break.

    Those tomahawk jams.

    Those jet-like steals.

    The guy would take any shot in the clutch. And he went after Jimmy Dean Dolan.

    How can you not love him?

  • Bob Costas is a brilliant basketball mind, how can he say that Sprewells not much of a 3 point shooter? Does the phrase "Spree for three" ring a bell to anyone?.....

  • I love the NBA on NBC days!! so exciting..

  • Nobody can chant like the garden its crazy

  • Back then the knicks was a cinderella team...

  • damn i need a sprewell jersey

  • amazin!! smh

  • Spurs fan here

    Out of all the teams SA faced during their 4 title runs, the Knicks were their toughest opponent, considering Ewing didnt play.

    And Spree is one of my all-time favorite players; when he was on fire, he was really on fire; I remember that regular season game @ Milwaukee in 2000-2001; he caught fire late in the 4th and OT; finished with 48 pts and 9 threes

    Damn

  • @rafikz77 SPREE was back home it was only right to do that to the bucks

  • yes, he was. :(

  • was ewing out for the entire finals?

  • El fuerte

  • My favorite baller! and still is! GO SPREE!!!!

  • I miss spreeeeeeeeeeee :(

  • I'm not a Knick fan but I still wait for the day they bring back that super fast defense theme only used at The Garden. They use a slower version of it now, it's okay, they use a semi fast one, but that super fast one used here is the best. That's what made all the close games at The Garden so hectic and crazy.

  • is that bob costas?

  • @tristen539 yes duh he been announcen basketball games way before that

  • sprewell was such a thug.. lmfao fuck that dude

  • And didn't the NBA just look BETTER on NBC?

  • @mikescorpio1108 Their overall presentation was just so much better bro. and remember their pregame build up intro videos. Like when Jordan first game back in the Garden from his baseball retirement and I remember vividly the lil girl sying "He's Backkkkkkkk." Nbc on a whole another level in comparison to Espn/Abc broadcast.

  • just like when we use to watch Jordan and The Bulls on NBC. (Bob Costas was the man when he was broadcasting NBA games... miss the 90's)

  • the good ol days

  • latrell spreeeeeeeeeeeeeeewell! i miss spree

  • damn the crowd was loud im getting goose bumps just watching it spree was the man

  • Spre's number should be retired

    

  • if he made that game winner he'd be an all star no fucking doubt.... still a great player though :)

  • This is the video i keep coming back to, to hear the Garden chant DE-FENSE! amazing times!

  • HUGE heart. True Knick. I miss this guy so much.

  • SPREEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

  • YEAH SPREWELL WAS ILLUSIVE.. A GREAT PLAYER

  • look at malik rose face ..... haha....

  • My NBA mixes are so filled with passion but noone watches them...could anyone here give me at least a comment?

  • Spree is now feeding his kids.

  • why do they keep saying hes not a three point shooter? Hes one of the most accurate three point shooters to ever play the game

  • Scott Layden you suck !!!

  • I've seen this game and Latrel's performace was awesome! but they were too small vs the spurs. and spree's persformace as man ohh man.. He is the best thing that happened to the Knicks

  • If Larry Johnson was 100% and Ewing was playing, the knicks coulda won the title.

  • fuck ewing 4 not playing

    fuck da commentator.. he's not a three point shooter?!

    go get da record book..

  • @2009spree agreed.

  • fuck ewing 4 not playing..

    go get da record book.. stupid fuck..

  • fuck ewing 4 not playing..

    fuck da announcer... his not really a three pt shooter?!

    go get da record book.. stupid fuck..

  • God I LOVED these knick teams!!! Spree was the fucking man. UA represent spree!!

  • How often do you see them interview a player from the losing team after they lose the finals? That shows ya How great Spree was in that game!

  • latrell could of been on top of kobe deadass i think so

  • if Ewing was healthy my knicks would ve won this title. not the spurs.

  • when the knicks were good.... sigh

  • I fucking loved this team

  • Would have been nice to have #33 in this series.

  • knicks have only won 1 title lol spurs got 4 within the last 11 years. but the knicks has a good team in the 90's one of the best. but this past decade they fell off big time. spurs r still good

    check ya later Edgeraze

  • Homey Spreewell was a beast man, this is when i was a real fan. Used to love the Knicks. I know you supposed to stay faithful to your team no matter what but after 04 i gave up on em.

  • @koolkat518 because you're a fucking faggot. don't love the knicks again in the future you bandwagon cocksucker.

  • This was my favorite Knicks team ever, I loved Spree and Alan...If we had Patrick, mmm

  • Man i never got to see spreewell play but the look in his eyes before every shot he really looks hungry for those shots thats a killer instinct.

  • Latrell was a beast.

  • Those were the best b-ball days. Knicks had a squad dat yr.

  • When will the Knicks back to the Final, like this. This was the last time Knicks at the Final, which is more than a decade ago. They have not made to the playoff for a long while, as a matter of fact.

    I like Sprewell, too bad he left the NBA without a ring. If Knicks are about to get a player like him, we would be way better off.

  • that knicks court was cool, way better than today, i like the blue circle

  • knicks fans are frontrunners mostlybut ill give them that when they are at the game THEYRE LOUD! theyre into it, unlike laker fans or other frontrunners, and sprewell was a beast in this game

  • aha now I know why I hate the Spurs so much!

  • man, crazy moves. Edgeraze I mostly like the end =) Can you believe I recently trained enough to begin dunking! I just completed the the nba workout training at (50 inch vertical [dot] com) and did it in only 6 weeks

  • If only man.....if only.

  • man hands down we have the loudest fans in the nba!

  • @TheAlexandertv not any more and i dont know why u guys suck why do yall even have fans san antonio has millions of fans and loudest and best fans i the nba

  • Rjfred12 100 percent agreed...

  • that step back at 3:22 is CLASSIC

  • This is sprewell at his absolute best. man i miss this whole Knicks team but especially Sprewell

  • yeah i miss the 99 knicks so much and sprewell.

  • I miss the Knicks :(

  • YEAH! Chris Dudley!

  • i was 11 watching this game live. this was one hell of a battle between Spree & Duncan! i have no idea why ppl always talk about Bird & Wilkins and never mention this...

  • not a Knicks fan, but this was their team, i loved watching this game, despite me being less than 6, i remember the intensity and when Sprewell made that jumper and got fouled the energy in that building was unbelievable.

  • Sprewell was the man back in the day!

  • the look after the reaction at 0:17 after the slam is exactly the atitude the knicks and the nba is missing right now. no one played at such a high tempo for the WHOLE game quite like spree did.

  • Chills. Man I miss the nba.

  • They would win this if Patrick was playing

  • Comment removed

  • LATRELL SPREWELL was a Knick at heart motherfuckers.

    That dude fuckin REPRESENTED New York.

    HELL YEA - I just pumped my fuckin fist when he hit that fuckin shot again MaBleak Rose. I haven't done that in a couple years, ironically, when I was probably watching a 99 Knicks tribute vid lmfao. On k4l.

    Ahhh man.....WAT IN THE HOLY MOTHERFUCKIN HELL has James Fatass Drunk George Bush V. 2. done to my Knicks?

    We used to fuckin represent that jersey like Starks, Oak, Mase, Xman, Camby...

  • @ry3304 what happened to the swagger man.........

  • @ry3304 stfu nigger lover

  • danilo gallinari no ha mostrado aun nada para traer el numero de latrell spreewell rules...

  • These were the years when the Knicks were the NBA!!!!

  • man i watched all of these live. i was at the game when he missed that shot in the finals. it was sad be it didnt matter. He Is Still The Best

  • Anybody notice that when he would score a basket, the instance it went in, he's halfway down the court ready to play defense? What warrior. Loved how he played.

  • Man, these were the days. I miss Spree and the rest of the team from this. I haven't watched basketball ever since because it's not the same as it used to be.

  • Comment removed

  • Shame on Danilo Gallinari for wearing Latrell Sprewell's number.

  • @ColdRainyNights He was bprn on 8/8/88 What number do you want him to choose? Are You kidding me?

  • @Simon957

    Lol that's cute. I don't keep up with the birthdays of professional athletes, but thanks for the heads up

  • @ColdRainyNights I'm from Italy, and Gallo's b-day it's a well known fact here!

  • Comment removed

  • best moments for me as nba fan

  • great times

  • ...Anybody else tearing up after watching this??

  • me, lol

  • Spree was the second best player I've ever seen as a Knick...of course I didn't grow up in the 70s but Spree was sick. Clutch, lock down D and I loved his attitude!

  • i see chris dudley.. lol

    sucks how spree ended his career.. he had the 2nd chance to improve his reputation.. but he wanted more money instead.. it really sucks that he wont take a paycut to improve minnesota's team back then..

    teams were after him after his contract with minnesota ended.. but he wont take less money.. it hurts his pride.. but look now he didnt get any money..

    im a fan of spree since his rookie year btw.. im just disappointed..
