If I remember correctly the knicks almost won game 4 to tie the series but Starks got called for a travel on the game tying 3. Looking back the Knicks were getting old and showing it. They needed that boost of Allan Houston, LJ, and Chris Childs the following year.
The great playoff competition shows how great the 72-10 Bulls feat was. EVer RD they played a CHampionship caliber team. The HEat iN RD One with Zo and Hardaway and they were only 8 seed because they did not assemble until trade deadline---its same team that was East 2 seed next season. This Knicks team is same that was one game away in 94. Magic with Shaq and Penny were same team that won 95 East, and the SOnics winning the West with Kemp, GP, Schrempf, etc. Tough competition.
i agree with you all and freshwess. if you look at the crowd they were bonkers and they even cheered for mike as well. when he hits that 3 pointer to tie it in the 4th, look at the crowd there cheering for him. what an experience that must have been for those people to watch that live. oh man!!!! and like u guys i cant watch todays nba. i try, but its not the same.
This game is everything the NBA today isn't, normally the game would be over with a minute & a half to go. Plus this shows how GREAT MJ is, willing his team from the brink of defeat. The one and only.
These were the greatest Knicks vs Bulls 90's rivalry games. But the Bulls were the best team of the 90's and Michael Jordan who nobody couldn't stop them. Bulls 6 NBA titles and the Knicks were always a big time choke and still is which they are pathetic the Knicks organazation.
damn people falling on the play... no foul, just get back and setup. it was wayy better. nowadays you cant even buld up tension cuz theres a foul on any little mickey mouse contact.
@rigogurt and kids these days think today stars r better then jordan era or magic era...i dont think so..not with these mickey mouse foul they keep calling todays game have way to much foul calls. and to manyf ree throws. and bad defense one of the reaosn y kobe score so much..he wont score 15 in those defense in the 80s 90s he wont lasdt with the falling down body contacts they did he will cry for foul.
@Taywarit13 i will give it up to kobe tho, he has hit some of the most impossible shots ive ever seen in my life. its just that the fouls have beome such a big part of the game. fouls should be saved for the times when its fucking obvious, you know he probably woulda made a shot. i just cant stand this bullshit, a guy cant guard the drive anymore, any contact foul, if you put a hand up and he misses foul its wack
@frusionnn That doesn't matter. Now that todays NBA can have three of the best players on the team, I'll never watch the NBA the same ever again. It makes me wish that I grew up in the 90's when basketball was basketball. Im a Knick fan yea, but even though Jordan and the Bulls owned us, it's still better Basketball than today. Am I right?
@victortimeok what are you referring to when you said ''that doesn't matter''? did you mean it doesn't matter that if Kukoc was there they still would not have swept the Knicks?
@frusionnn When I said it doesn't matter, I meant that I was only three years old when this game happened, and the first game I saw as a Knicks fan was when I was 6 when the Knicks were in the finals. So basically it happend 14 years ago so it doesn't matter to me. But like I said this was one hell of a game. I saw another vid about it. But NBA today sucks compared to this.
this was a more competitive series than the 4-1 result would have you believe. there was a lot of concern after this game that the knicks would tie it up in game 4 at home...but there's always mj.
Ahh when the Knicks and the Bulls were still great teams. God, the Knicks suck today watching old games from the 90s and comparing that team to this team, or the old Bulls team to the new one makes me want to cry.
Right on that. Can't believe they're applauding the 61 pts in this pathetic, wimpy-defense, young-clowns and spoiled brats NBA Era. MJ would have scored 50 pts/game under those stupid, sissy rules. Jordan - the Ultimate Knicks Tormenter. Kobe and LEbron - watch some 90's vintage games to learn how to feel the game.
I don't know what sucks about NBA. It's still damn good and will be getting better over the years thanks to the new up and coming stars. The teams are strong and there's big tight competition in both conferences so you never know what's going to happen year to year. I honestly don't know what you people are complaining about. If you don't accept inevitable change (such as players like Jordan having to retire) then you won't like ANYTHING over time.
What sucks about todays NBA? - officiating (worst in sports) - rule changes (handchecking, 3sec, zone) - european influences - lost art of defense - lack of fundamentals - players who behave like spoiled brats - the increasing whining and flopping - poor presentation of the game - Stern I'm sure there's more, haha :)
I'm watching Hornets-Cavs right now and the atmosphere is pathetic. I know it's just a regular season game, but come on. You even have NBA arenas with fake cheering and clapping from tape nowadays. Boy were we spoiled with 80s and 90s basketball.
It does suck big time (like everything else). I can barely get myself to watch NBA games anymore. At least I have my old NBA on NBC games that I can watch over and over again to relive the memories... priceless.
Ya, If that happened today both of them would get tossed and queer stern would give suspensions. Back then the ref's let em play, not it's a girls league.
fucking knicks take that, too bad they lost though in ot, this series was revenge for the bullshit series in 94, where pippen should have went to the finals, and who knows, maybe bulls win in 94
what the hell are you talking about? The Bulls were suppsoed to win this series. Knicks barely made the playoffs that year. And they won this game by the way....
You're a Rockets fan? lol...Nobody cares about them even when they won championships 10 years ago....
FUCK DOLAN! FUCK LAYDEN! FUCK Larry "bitch-ass, faking cancer or whatever to get paid" Brown!!! Steph, D. Lee, Jamal, and Eddy willo be enough to get the Knicks tothe playoff in 2007-08...if Randolph can just fit in, its FINALS time...I don't care if the Celtics have Garnett!!
Man, Cablevision and James Dolan have ruined the Knicks. Once all the old contracts were done with (they bought the team in 1995) or the veterans were traded, they wound up just filling the roster with what we have now.
I wonder when the Garden will be rocking like that again. And when the Bulls came to town--apart from all the NYCers who wore Jordan jersies--the desire to beat Chicago was palpable.
Now, jeez....
Maybe in another ten years, they will be good again.
Damn, Jordan was amazing. The Knicks were kind of like the Jazz in a way. Great team for all those years, but just for one reason or another couldn't get over the hump, a lot of it had to do with just the greatness of Jordan.
Yeah they kinda were, Utah had a longer stretch of greatness probably from 88-99 they had premier teams. New York came into its own in 91-92 and Patrick leaving signaled the end but Jeff Van Gundy leaving in 2001 was the real end.
I mean do you not hear dat Garden, the energy, the give it your all by the Knicks, dats how the game is suppose to be played, whether in the NBA or during a pick-up game, respect da game
Well, bring back the hand checking....that would make the game much more physical. This piece of 2:30 left in the game would've been stopped at least 5 times because of roughness in today's game.
Look at Rodman and Ewing get in each others faces around 1:15 and nothing was called, I love that. This is when the game was great, I'd love to go back to these days
Damn, that crowd was LOUD. This truly was a heated rivalry, I find myself getting out of my computer desk chair and yelling at the monitor. MJ just took this game by himself, I believe Pippen had a 3-pointer in overtime to tie it and he missed.
The Defense organ is still my all time favorite thing at any arena. Whenever a game at The Garden is close and that organ does that, nothing is more amazing.
The post Finals Knicks from 1994-1998 are vastly underrated. They got stuck with both bad coaching moves (Don Nelson just never worked...), and the return of Jordan. Great clip, thanks!
That Old Defense Organ chant is what I missed and I also missed the corporate towels they had every playoff game at the Garden. The Place Was Just BERSERK. Hopefully all of it comes back next season when the knicks are in playoff contention.
That was pretty much the end of the Ewing/Oakley/Mason/Starks/Harper Knicks era - Don Nelson was hired and resigned during that season, Van Gundy took over, they brought LJ, Houston, and Sprewell in during the next couple of years, Ewing was perpetually hurt.
I've always rooted against the Knicks, but it would be nice to see some meaningful games at MSG again (Isiah is awful)...I love that organ-sounding keyboard.
Damn that's some Defense. Can't do that in today's game the refs have the game on lock, even the swipes at the ball by Jordan on the Knicks last couple possesions would be called foul.
Great memories. Jordan/Pippen/Rodman vs Ewing/Starks/Oakley. 1998 marks the end of NBA Golden era where every shot was contested & defense dictated the flow of the game. & this is when Jordan seperated himself from the rest, defied even his 35 years age & willed himself to crucial victories. Although he Bulls lost this game in OT.
If I remember correctly the knicks almost won game 4 to tie the series but Starks got called for a travel on the game tying 3. Looking back the Knicks were getting old and showing it. They needed that boost of Allan Houston, LJ, and Chris Childs the following year.
