As a Pistons fan, after this game, I said this is one of the greatest players I've ever seen. He was always so smooth with it his dribbling, his dunking, his shot.
I emulated his game. I was fifteen in '84. I've visited his hometown: Fort Green, Bk. I kicked ass emulating his spin jump shot, power lay ups, off balance jump shot, and not allowing my defender to breathe. I earned respect in the playgrounds of Uptown NYC.
Great year for me as a knick fan. Bernard in his prime. Greatest offensive player the knicks ever had. His last great full year before he got hurt. Also the Knicks were the only team to take the eventual NBA Champion celtics to 7 games in the playoffs.
People truly don't know how bad Detroit's defense used to be before they became the Bad Boys, in fact I believe that they're in(G.B.W.R.)for being in the highest scoring game ever along with the Denver Nuggets!!!
As a scorer in his prime - yes. Just as unstoppable. But Jordan could do everything - and throw in 6 titles, which is why Michael is considered the best ever. Bernard was my fav player when I was a kid. Greatest offensive player the knicks ever had.

2:37 And with splints on both hands. He was not only great but tough as hell. He carried these Knick teams with his skill and his will!

Nobody could guard Bernard King!

MrAitraining The lakers lost in 7 as well in the finals, but i do agree, how did bernard take that celtics team to 7 with those players?
I should have clarified. I meant in the East.

Shit gives me chills when they introduce Bernard King.
He was my hero as a kid. We always had a chance because he was on our side.
That introduction by Bernard sends chills through your body ready to kill.
Topped today in the win - Jalen Brunson is absolutely ascending
And the Captain of the Knicks Bernard King.⛹🏾♀️⛹🏾♀️⛹🏾♀️⛹🏾♀️⛹🏾♀️⛹🏾♀️
