the reason Jordan stayed so healthy and never missed a game after baseball was because of his ridiculously disciplined work outs that worked out EVERY part of his body, including groin, inner thigh, etc. he made sure he concentrated on the smallest parts that nobody normally noticed, but that made a huge difference towards his longevity and health
Michael's dunk at 6:31 and his emphatic reaction defined the NBA back then. If he did that today, that would have been a flagrant foul on the X-man and a tech on MJ. In 1992? Nothing but a personal foul.
0:22 Flagrant 1 today 0:45 2 FT today 3:05 double foul today 3:21 LOOK HOW FAR THAT BALL HITS OFF THE RIM. HOW HARD WAS HE TRYING TO DUNK IT? 6:55 Flagrant 2 today. NO PLAY ON THE BALL 9:08 Starks is such a child
Mike was saying "YEAH MUTHAFUCKA YEAH!" As in yeah and one. He was very angry at that foul McDaniel gave to him. That's the type of foul that can end your career if you land wrong.
1989, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1996 (and maybe 1994 w/o the phantom foul)--watching the Bulls rise to another level when playing the Knicks was something to behold. I'm unsure why the New Yorkers here have to win superiority points. We're really going to put a Starks dunk next to MJ's from 91 or Pippen's from 94? We're really going to try to compare Wilkins to MJ (the most creative and acrobatic finisher of all time) in any way whatsoever? NY has the Yankees and Giants. Let us in CHI have this.
+Jay Scribe What I love about that play is the strength of Jordan. Neither Ewing nor McDaniel make a play on the ball. They both just deliver blows to Jordan. Yet Jordan remains upright and the two of them hit the deck. Love it!
+Jay Scribe A foul like that these days would get someone physically hurt, their feelings hurt and suspensions. Guys aren't built like that anymore. Yet these 15 year old kids keep trying to tell us older guys that the NBA is more athletic these days...
Ahh, the good old days of the NBA when ALL 10 players played were good and played with a lot of heart smh. We'll never see this kind of basketball again. I love the fact that the refs allowed them to play as hard as they wanted. A whistle would've Definetly been blown at 3:03 in today's game. Man was I born in the wrong decade lol
the 6:30 move and reaction was sic!!! jordans strength and determination all come out there. and thats what separates winners and guys like him from losers like lebron
Even though The Bulls owned the 90's, The Knicks played them tougher than anybody during that decade. I swear, the only reason The Bulls repeated as champs, in 1992, The Bulls just figured they would roll to another championship but they got a wake up call in this series. Iman Shumpert reminds me a lot of Gerald Wilkins. That moev @ 3:56 was very Jordan like. Don't know if I've ever heard The Garden crowd louder than when Jordan blew the dunk. I loved it!
Pippen said the sixth ring was the hardest. It's one thing to play a tough team when your star players are in their 20's. It's different when your toward the end of your career.
Yes, I said they owned us in my initial comment. Meaning they beat us, they beat EVERYBODY, but they did not "kick our asses". many games were close, and in 1992-1994 The Knicks and Bulls went to 6 or 7 games every season. The Bulls won 72 games in 1996. Again, they beat everyone, and that was the whole point of my talking about The Knicks' 104-72 win over Chicago that seaon. The two teams played GREAT games in the 90's. The Bulls just came out on top.
I think Laimbeer and the other older "Bad Boys" got together with the Knicks after losing, and told them to make it as hard for Michael Jordan as possible.
4:19 should look very familiar to Knicks fans. It would be that same spot, and that same move a year later, but a different player who threw it down in the face of Grant, and Jordan. Simply known as "The Dunk"
Gerald Wilkins wasn't a great player, but he finished just as good as Jordan ever did. Gerald was one of the best finishers in the game. 3:22 could be the loudest I've ever heard The Garden LOL! @ 3:56 Gerald says "Here Michael, let me show you how it's done". The Knicks have never won in my lifetime, and may never win, so if I had to choose my favorite losing series of all time, it would be this one. Such battles, and GREAT players who played with passion and desire.
Kobe & LBJ in this era would BOTH be just another 20-23ppg scorer with even LOWER FG%'s than they ALREADY have. This is a era where there's NO defensive 3-sec rule that prevents the Big's from cloggin' the lanes & opening it up, nor were the perimeter defensive rules RELAXED to FAVOR wing players like them.. It's NOT a coincidence that the # of wing players in the Top 10 in scoring JUMPED from 3 to 11 & had a 23% INCREASE & 4% INCREASE in scoring & FG%, AFTER the rules were changed..
This is a different Era. The Knicks, The Pistons, The Celtics, The Lakers and The Trailblazers made Michael earn every point he or the Bulls got. No standing around watching like they do today. Kobe's Lakers and Lebron Cavaliers would not be able to win a game against those Knicks or Pistons. Larry would have shot the lights out alone, and Magic well he would have assisted them to death. This year Basketball is starting to pick up again but they are still light years away from that Era!
Of course they would. I think Lebron would adjust to a physical era due to size and raw athleticism. Kobe didn't fare well in the 90s. Don't forget he was an allstar in the 90s and JEFF Hornacek held Kobe to 10 ppg on 36 percent shooting when the Lakers faced the Jazz in the playoffs and Kobe was an allstar that year.
I will compare them when it comes to finishing at the hoop. If you didn't see Gerald Wilkins play (which I'm assuming you, obviously, didn't) then you have no idea what you're talking about. And when did I ever mention D? I didn't, so I have no idea why you'd even bring that up.
i wonder what he said to x.. and i wonder why ewing got so upset because it seems like he was saying that to x instead of ewing. but yea, great strength, and he was mad like an animal!!
What are you talking about? You'er making this into something I never said. All I said was that Gerald Wilkins could finish as good, if not better than Michael Jordan. I also said Gerald Wilkins was not a great player. Gerald Wilkins was an explosive dunker, and finished as good as anyone during his time. Like I sadi you must not have seen him play. As far as Dominique goes, NOBODY finished better than Nique.
hey clarkman83, i hate to break it to you but theres no such thing as a kobe "signature dunk" every single move he has he stole from MJ and he never pulls them off as well as jordan. close, but not as good. kobe (or anyone else for that matter) has never come close to doing a dunk anywhere near as good as Jordans MISSED dunk! that shit was ferocious!
Yes, I am. Seeing as it proves you, completely wrong. Just a typical BANDWAGON Bulls fan from the 90's. I'd be willing to bet, you have no clue how The Bulls obtained Pippen, unless you looked it up. I'd also be willing to bet I know more about the 90's Bulls than you do, and I'm a Knicks fan LOL! You said The Bulls kicked our asses. The regular season win is just an example of how you didn't "kick our asses"
"Jordan never ever did 360 dunk except in the slam dunk contest and they were not impressive 360's." That comment is what's not impressive.. 1st of all, MJ NEVER did a 360 dunk in ANY dunk contest, because he often stated that everyone did 'em, that's why he avoided doing 'em, not that he couldn't do 'em..I mean damn, do U really think that a man that could dunk from the FT line, couldn't do a mere 360 dunk?
Sooo... Gerald Wilkins being a better finisher than MJ is legitimate? Really? Hanging on to a dunk made by a guy who had problems staying in the starting lineup while ignoring even more picturesque dunks by HOF'ers is smart? You sure? Once again: 1989, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1996, Pippen over Ewing, Jordan over Ewing, Christmas Day games, MJ's double nickel, the "Whose game is it? It's Michael Jordan's game" moment. Knicks have the "phantom foul" during the year w/o MJ and .1 rule fiasco.
Your statement makes no sense. To say you kicked our asses is a ridiculous statement. The Knicks played Chicago tougher than anyone in the 90's. Yeah, they beat us, big deal. They had 10 times more talent on that team than The Knicks had on theirs, and The Bulls barely squeaked by in 1992 and 1993. The Knicks also handed The Bulls their worst loss in 1996 when The Bulls won 72 games, beating them 104-72. We never got the chance in 1997 thanks to David Stern. He knew The Knicks were a threat.
"I am 29" Still a youngn..I said kobe & I are "around" the same age, not "the" same age..we are NOT in the same generation..the words miseducated & I don't go in the same sentence.. Try again kid..
Yeah, ok. Well you can't argue with stupid, so I'm done with this debate. It's pretty clear to me, that you didn't watch basketball in the 90's. Like most Bulls fans, especially from my area, you jumped aboard the bandwagon after the fact.
that's what we call the real men's basketball, seperate the mens from the boys.. nowadays just bit of push and slap are foul just like a baby crying, nba is nonsense nowadays unlike in 90's.. i'm probably not getting tatoos or fashion in my body wearing anything while playing instead improve my game in every practise and in every game and put good numbers.
the reason Jordan stayed so healthy and never missed a game after baseball was because of his ridiculously disciplined work outs that worked out EVERY part of his body, including groin, inner thigh, etc. he made sure he concentrated on the smallest parts that nobody normally noticed, but that made a huge difference towards his longevity and health
Jordan's dunk at 0:47 was just absurd!!!
That's some serious crowd intensity there. Don't see that these days.
Michael's dunk at 6:31 and his emphatic reaction defined the NBA back then. If he did that today, that would have been a flagrant foul on the X-man and a tech on MJ. In 1992? Nothing but a personal foul.
MJ was insane. So fast. When he came up with a steal in the open court your heart simply dropped.
0:22 Flagrant 1 today
0:45 2 FT today
3:05 double foul today
3:21 LOOK HOW FAR THAT BALL HITS OFF THE RIM. HOW HARD WAS HE TRYING TO DUNK IT?
6:55 Flagrant 2 today. NO PLAY ON THE BALL
9:08 Starks is such a child
Mike was saying "YEAH MUTHAFUCKA YEAH!" As in yeah and one. He was very angry at that foul McDaniel gave to him. That's the type of foul that can end your career if you land wrong.

@6:32 Jordan's superior intensity, passion, and ferocity!
Love Jordan's strength on that one play!!! Amazing!!
Even the missed dunk (which we LOVED at the time, strangely enough) was art.
stop at EXACTLY 4:49
Best series ever! The foul and reaction at 6:30 is iconic!
+Jay Scribe What I love about that play is the strength of Jordan. Neither Ewing nor McDaniel make a play on the ball. They both just deliver blows to Jordan. Yet Jordan remains upright and the two of them hit the deck. Love it!

what cries Mj on McDaniel?
2nd best series ever. bulls Celtics 2009 first round was better.
Ahh, the good old days of the NBA when ALL 10 players played were good and played with a lot of heart smh. We'll never see this kind of basketball again. I love the fact that the refs allowed them to play as hard as they wanted. A whistle would've Definetly been blown at 3:03 in today's game. Man was I born in the wrong decade lol
the 6:30 move and reaction was sic!!! jordans strength and determination all come out there. and thats what separates winners and guys like him from losers like lebron
3:20 greatest missed dunk in NBA history.
Air Espenilla True that....
We kicked your asses in the 90's and I loved it. You guys had two years with No MJ in the league and you still couldn't get it done!
you mean kobe's dunks look like that
3:14-Michael Jordan does the unthinkable 😮
6:45 one of my all time favourite Jordan plays
4:47 pause at EXACTLY 4:50 ! wow what a sick poster!
That 1992 New York Knicks team is the GREATEST perimeter defensive team in the history of the league..bar NONE..
ever since i was young i wanted to know what michael said to ewing at 3:34
Even though The Bulls owned the 90's, The Knicks played them tougher than anybody during that decade. I swear, the only reason The Bulls repeated as champs, in 1992, The Bulls just figured they would roll to another championship but they got a wake up call in this series.
Iman Shumpert reminds me a lot of Gerald Wilkins. That moev @ 3:56 was very Jordan like.
Don't know if I've ever heard The Garden crowd louder than when Jordan blew the dunk.
I loved it!
Starks was really crazy. God damn. 40sec left and he wants to shoot and not go to Ewing? Poor Ewing who had him and Charles Smith to play with.
Pippen said the sixth ring was the hardest. It's one thing to play a tough team when your star players are in their 20's. It's different when your toward the end of your career.
Chicago eliminated the Knicks in 1991, 1992, 1993, and 1996. Knicks only won One playoff series vs. Bulls. 4-1! Nuff said!
Can't count when the Knicks won in 1994 because MJ was playing baseball ⚾
MJ was saying, "Yeah sucka, yeah!"
The dunk at 1:48 looks like one of Kobe's signature dunks when he goes baseline and does the 180 reverse dunk.
6:34 is an automatic ejection today
Probably a suspension too
Yup! Sissy ass league!
Yes, I said they owned us in my initial comment. Meaning they beat us, they beat EVERYBODY, but they did not "kick our asses". many games were close, and in 1992-1994 The Knicks and Bulls went to 6 or 7 games every season.

This is a era where there's NO defensive 3-sec rule that prevents the Big's from cloggin' the lanes & opening it up, nor were the perimeter defensive rules RELAXED to FAVOR wing players like them..

What do you think Jordan says after making the basket at 6:30 ? I can't tell.
Yao Ming was an All Star for many years! Kobe was really young! LeBron would cry!
Finishing at the hoop, while driving to the basket, they're absolutely comparable.
1:12 and 3:56 proves my point.
This is a different Era. The Knicks, The Pistons, The Celtics, The Lakers and The Trailblazers made Michael earn every point he or the Bulls got. No standing around watching like they do today. Kobe's Lakers and Lebron Cavaliers would not be able to win a game against those Knicks or Pistons. Larry would have shot the lights out alone, and Magic well he would have assisted them to death. This year Basketball is starting to pick up again but they are still light years away from that Era!
@The Jak2703 i think he says Yeah thats how you play the game
Michael Jordan missed an uncontested open court dunk. Damn I guess he was human after all...
Of course they would. I think Lebron would adjust to a physical era due to size and raw athleticism. Kobe didn't fare well in the 90s. Don't forget he was an allstar in the 90s and JEFF Hornacek held Kobe to 10 ppg on 36 percent shooting when the Lakers faced the Jazz in the playoffs and Kobe was an allstar that year.
@vincespell you are sooooooooooooooooooooooo right. i agree 100%
I will compare them when it comes to finishing at the hoop. If you didn't see Gerald Wilkins play (which I'm assuming you, obviously, didn't) then you have no idea what you're talking about.
And when did I ever mention D? I didn't, so I have no idea why you'd even bring that up.
What MJ cries very upset on Xavier McDaniel min 9:23?
What the hell are ya talkin about?
+Dabullsdabulls07 I meant min 6:32-34
+Mau Aviles gotcha
Relax, be happy, and have fun. No reason to get all worked up over a UA-cam debate. LOL!
The 90s BULLS....... NUFF SAID......
i wonder what he said to x.. and i wonder why ewing got so upset because it seems like he was saying that to x instead of ewing.
but yea, great strength, and he was mad like an animal!!
@TheJak2703 he said "go for the fucking ball"
Absolutely!
simply the BEST @ 1:58
@vincespell Correct!
Rockin Reg brought me here 👀
@KAGE153 I MEAN AT THE 3:20 MARK
michael jordan is the best my dude....watch the cross on starks at 530....
@vincespell
Kobe's Lakers and LeBron's Cavs wouldn't win a game this Era? Seriously!
they hated each other....this is the first playoff series i eva watched good introduction jordan shitted on em
What are you talking about? You'er making this into something I never said. All I said was that Gerald Wilkins could finish as good, if not better than Michael Jordan. I also said Gerald Wilkins was not a great player.

Utah was a tougher challenge than the Knicks.
JORDAN MISSED THE DUNK AT THE 3:25 MARK
So WHAT if NY lost Ewing played WELL I'm SATISFIED
Sooo... Gerald Wilkins being a better finisher than MJ is legitimate? Really?

Any facts, boy?
6:31
that's what we call the real men's basketball, seperate the mens from the boys.. nowadays just bit of push and slap are foul just like a baby crying, nba is nonsense nowadays unlike in 90's.. i'm probably not getting tatoos or fashion in my body wearing anything while playing instead improve my game in every practise and in every game and put good numbers.
Ditto. hehe. btw, what is with these kobe stans??
Are you seriously bragging about a regular season win? Haha! Get Real!
