this explains why so many people love the knicks in the 90s.
The knicks could’ve won 1 nba title and make 3 finals appearance
they could only win the Eastern Conference title when Jordan was playing baseball…. and they still couldn’t win the championship this year… nothing special about the knicks…. the 90s belonged to Jordan, and when he wasn’t there it was Hakeem.
@@Realistic316 a certain Nigerian saw to it that they couldn't....
@@J-S.P talking about champs of the Eastern Conference 🤦🏻♂️
*Yo soy uno de ellos, y este 2024 seguimos emocionados ahora con Jason Brunson y compañía....*
This makes me so nostalgic. I was 11yo and cant express how obsessed with the knicks i was. The nba used to be the best sport on the planet. Its just not the same
I was 21 years old back then agreed
@carlburton3152 dont get me wrong i still watch. Not as much as i did as a kid in the 90s but i follow it. But the 90s, especially the playoffs, was edge of your seat.
@@brians7901 yes, it was a good time for basketball 🏀.
I agree..I was 13 at the time..watching that Knicks team made me fall in love with them and the game of basketball. It's definitely not the same anymore 😞
Same. I was still in school and remember all of these games. I have not watched a game in close to 20 years now. Not only is the game worse but it is filled with politics now. Now it is all about who will wear pride gear
Very underrated Byron Scott performance, and Reggie was Reggie. But Patrick was NOT letting them lose this one.
He played like the only person on the court with championship experience.
Nor were the refs with the flagrant call on Reggie at the end.
Byron Scott played great in game 7
@@berkeleycodingacademy7015 errors on both sides. McKeys 3-pointer shouldn't have counted as it was released after 24 seconds
It's amazing how dominant Ewing was in this game.
Love that vintage buzzer at the Garden
My favorite Knicks game of all time
I’m an nba fan and grew up in the 90s, I remember this feeling watching these games and it just felt so important. You could feel and sense how important this was to New York City and Indiana. I miss this feeling in the nba
Love watching this Knicks team back then. Sad that they got close but did not win the Championship. RIP Anthony Mason 😔
I grew up in this era… Chicago Bulls… Detroit Pistons… Miami Heat… Knicks… Pacers… But my God watching these highlights how physical was this style of basketball?
my favorite Knicks game of all time! Eastern Conference Champs baby!
They could’ve won the title that year
And they would have been champs had Pat Riley stopped giving John Starks the ball.
@@dickbuttkiss6002 Starks shot very badly against Houston. Which I liked very much.
Starks missed 14 odd 3 pointers which would of made them win.
Yeah the Knicks make it to the finals but lost to the Rockets. They got lucky in the series against the Bulls because of that phantom foul call against Scottie Pippen. If that call is not made the Knicks would’ve lost to the Bulls without Jordan and they wouldn’t have made it to the finals.
From somalia ... I still remember this classic game back 1994 ewing era
😂 oo somalidu ma daawato ayan islahaa
5:29 - 5:35, listen to that crowd... I cant tell you the last time I heard a crowd like that in a NBA game... Utah, and Sacramento as well. it almost hurt your ears on TV!
Kids can say what they want about how much better their generation is, but you just had to be there. The Stars, the presentation, the drama, the rivalries... nothing can top this era of NBA basketball. ♥️
My all time favorite Knicks game EVER
I remember this game like it was yesterday, Wow!!!!
30 years wow thanks for posting
Wow, catching my breath after that! Those were the days!
Back when the eastern conference was stronger
The eastern conference was weak in the 90s cause Michael Jordan and the bulls were dominant
@@Frankieefootballmundial no, it wasn't. that's really dumb. The teams that stood the best chance of beating him were always eastern teams. Not one western conference team was able to even make it a game 7 in the finals. The Knicks and Pacers at least pushed it to game 7 vs MJ.
@@Frankieefootballmundial Clown
@@dickbuttkiss6002 also MJ played in the 95 Playoffs and lost in 6 to Orlando!
The NBA was so good back then
Back when the NBA was the NBA!
Great times to be a NYK FAN during the 90”S
I'll give credit to the Knicks for going to distance with the rockets in 7 games in the 94 NBA Finals.
That was the hardest played series ever. So intense on defense... Knicks needed apart from one game the full distance of games played in their 1994 playoff run
The only thing I remember was the network interrupting Game 5 , in NY, that night, because of OJ and the stupid bronco chase
Hubert Davis was such an under rated player. Scored so many 3s for the knicks as the 6th man in these playoffs
I used to love how the fans would groan whenever Oakley took an outside jumper.
Back when basketball was still basketball
You don’t like today’s basketball
@@Frankieefootballmundial i like the fact that centers are allowed to shoot 3-pointers now, but other than that, I miss the good old fashioned hardcore defense plus post-ups, inside, & inside-out offenses of the 90s and early-to-mid 2000s.
@@Frankieefootballmundial basically, it seems like every single NBA team is trying to be like the golden state warriors of 2015-2019 and there hardly any uniqueness in any teams anymore.
Yes, you can make a similar case for the 90s where almost every team had a big man who can score in the low-post, but at-least you had some teams in the late 90-early 2000s that had offenses that were different than much of the league at that time (the Sacramento Kings of 1999-2003, the Indiana Pacers of Reggie Miller's era, and Dirk Nowitzkys Dallas man's of 1999-2017, all who used today's style 3-pointer offenses).
Is there a single team in the NBA that uses low-post offenses of the 90s anymore?
Better yet, is there any team today that doesn't live and die by the 3-pointers?
There's no uniqueness anymore with today's NBA teams. Yes, some are better than others, but every teams style today is pretty much the same.
@@DyslexicSolMusic the style of play today is like the nba in the 80s
@@Frankieefootballmundial could be. I never really watched 80s basketball
Whew, MSG was LOUD. Remember this game as a kid vividly
Man, if Ewing played in today's NBA he would've had healthy knees throughout his career.
And whole lot more shot threes which he’d love lol
in the 1994 playoffs this was the very best individual performance for patrick ewing
Patrick , had a lot of big games are competitive before this
@@carlburton3152 you make sense and no disrespect AT ALL but out of all his 139 nba playoff games if you ask me this was the #4 best nba playoff game for superstar patrick ewing
Ewing wasn't typically known for being clutch, but he played the game of his life here.
Ewing had his fair share of clutch moments in the East playoffs. He was only indicted by some because he didn't match the standard of Michael Jordan.
@@johnthefalcon2903 who spoke about jordan here in the first place you cheerleader???
quit coping bball and fire your eye doctor if you haven't realized yet the Ewing is the clutchest Center of all time and of of the clutchest players of all time...
I don’t think people appreciate just how tough these guys played. Today, everyone is friends and they’re just all about having fun. These guys played for their lives.
After Jordan retired, the Knicks were the ONLY team in the East that deserved to go to the Finals. And if I recall, Bulls in 7, Pacers in 7 and took Rockets to 7! Give me a team that was a harder challenge and I'm a Bulls fan! Much respect to this '94 team!
They should have beat the Bulls in 6 and beat the Rockets in 6. We needed a better back court to complement Ewing at this point and never quite got it
I wish the NBA was still like THIS.
those were the old good times ... man, a miss that version of the NBA
This was a great matchup between two big and physical teams.
Patrick was a guy that actually needed help, he never played with another superstar.
Correct, when guys like Allan Houston and Sprewell arrived it was too late
@@Bigreid92 maybe Sprewell but i don't think they were superstar's.
Yeah I agree Patrick's career 1985-2002 and outta that span his prime was 1988-1995...7 years and 8 seasons he was one of the top 10 players and most dominant players in the league on both sides of the ball but like you said he NEEDED HELP if Barkely or Mark Price or even a Shawn Kemp would have gotten them over the hump.If Spreewell who was fucking unstoppable and Allen Houston had been around during Ewing's prime at least during the middle of it ?'91-94ish I say they beat Chicago in 1992&1994
It didn't help that Ewing consistently failed to raise his level of play in the postseason.
Yeah if only for that 99 teams run with Spre and LJ Camby etc... Ewing could've been in his prime or had sone type of physical flashback for the finals at least we could've grabbed one ring for all them guys and the Knicks would have a much more recent championship instead of the 70s. It's been rough since I was born 88 for NY.
Die hard Knickerbocker fan, and loved these teams sooo much, I lived and died with their ups and downs......I consistently see these comments about the league being so much better in this period, and i just wanted to say........not so much .......the basketball is not of a higher quality at all......the game continues to evolve as a whole, and has become something entirely different and frankly better today.....beautiful thing about hoops, it just gets better.....but the effort is a lot greater in this era........skill level, lower but effort level much higher.....in this league with all the physicality that was being allowed and the lack of consistent dynamic long distance shooting, plus the analytics hadnt hit yet, so it was easier to follow, and easier to root for your team because the game was being played in a less open way.....so stops were abundant, u couldnt get run over so much.
Jordan was away this season. Knicks should have won the championship this year. Probably their biggest opportunity in their era
Knicks with Ewing one of my favorite teams
Every single playoff game was a story, not just a game.
This was the first ECF since 1979 to not involve either Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, or Dr. J. After sort of a "meh" first four games, the last 3 were all classics.
Multiple game 7s in 1994.
The real NBA
There is nothing like Madison square defense chant i used to love that
After beating the Bulls and the Pacers, the Knicks thought the NBA Title was here... They forgot the Rockets and Olajuwon...
And lost to the pacers the following year
They didn't forget them. They had them beat until John Starks handed the Rockets the trophy
@@dickbuttkiss6002 had them beat? It was as game 7 n game 6 starks played great n they still lost.. Ewing didn’t step up.. in 6 or 7
@@TheSands83 um, YES. They were up 3-2 and choked it away thanks to Pat Riley continuously giving the ball to John Starks in game 7, and we all know what happened there. And the rockets only won game 6 because of a lucky fingertip that stopped what would have been the series winning three pointer
@@dickbuttkiss6002 LOL okay pal. Nothing lucky about Hakeem blocking that shot.
Seens like the pacers always had the same problem in big games in the 90's
OFFENSIVE REBOUNDS......
go look at '98 game 7 vs bulls....
I miss the blood baths that Knicks and Pacers had.
1:50 travelling AF !!!
So sad that the Knicks (Al Bianci) just rested on their laurels and never gave Ewing help. The only all-time top-75 player to never play with another top-75 player his entire career. And only one other HOF (Bernard King for a microsecond before his injury).
Compare him with someone like Bird who never played with fewer than 2 HOF his entire career (Tiny, Maravich, Cowens his rookie year, then DJ/Parish/McHale the rest of his career; Tiny was 2nd team all-NBA during the 1981 season). All Ewing needed was a LITTLE help...it’s sad. Very much like Garnett was in MIN.
did they not show the score on the screen at all times?
No NBC and TNT did not. Many people complained but the producers thought it adds drama to the game when score is not shown all the time.
When are we ever going hear that again? "The New York KNICKS are headed to the NBA Finals" smh.
I heard Brunson, say that recently
I remember i was pulling for the Knicks this year because Jordan was gone
Knicks wer fantastic. They deserved a threepeat champions
This explains why i don't watch anymore... i was spoiled
That shouldn’t of been a flagrant foul that’s crazy but amazing game
Ewing was underated.
when basketball was basketball...Now everyone of of these highlights would have been a foul.
Great game. Pacers got hosed. Ewing obvious offensive interference and that was not a flagrant foul on Reggie
a score board would be nice
Knicks beat a very good pacers team. But that shouldn't have been a flagrant foul at the end.
Always wondered why didnt New York got Ewing more help, in particular an all star caliber player. The next best player after Ewing in that Knicks lineup was probably Derek Harper or John Starks but both of them are not All Star caliber players especially Starks he is inconsistent and small for a shooting guard thats why Jordan abuses him whenever the Bulls play the Knicks, i mean they got the money.
PUT THE SCORE THANKS
Luckily, my Pacers got their revenge a year later.
That last flagrant foul was an example of the NBA being rigged
Maybe it’s the sound but this is the first time in 21 years this team made the Finals and the crowd is pretty quiet
Garden crowd was crazy back in the day. I've never heard a cheer filled with more aggression than from Knick fans in the 90s.
Playoff tickets were less costly in '94, so you had many more genuine fans in attendance as opposed to a bunch of millionaires and six figure snobs who are just there to be seen.
The block by Ewing was goaltending in today’s standard. NBA has been soft the pass decades.
uhrmmm...... 1:49
When men played.
Ewing may have gotten away with offensive interference on that last putback, but they were never going to make that call. I forgot just how down to the wire this game was, ended ironically with John Starks flopping like a little woman on that foul. Ticky tack way to end what was a gutter war of a seven game series.
I'm glad NY Knicks got to the finals because Houston bet them.
I used to love the NBA back then now it's soft as hell
I'm here after tonight's game against the Pacers. Reggie Miller is a bum. (Terrible punditry from him today)
Bullyball completely
Olajuwon had better plans for the Knicks. Olajuwon didn't want Ewing to get the ring.
Revenge for Ewing denying him a ring in college
The rockets would beat the crap out of the pacers in the NBA Finals, just like they finished the Knicks.
@@handlebucket6285 And the Rockets needed Hakeem to barely deflect a Starks 3 at the buzzer of game 6 when Starks was on fire to narrowly avoid losing the championship right there.
Man Anthony mason had an ugly shot
Tears rolling down my cheeks after wathing this. I was never able to attend a game at the MSG when Jordan and the Bulls came to town. I used to look with envy (not anymore) at those white collars from Wall Street rushing to the arena to watch those unforgettable games. Taxi drivers used to be handsomely tipped if they were able to get those suits on time. Today's NBA sucks. It has turned Woke.
man this is horrible basketball lol
The “rough & physical 90’s” series altering call on that weak flagrant call on Reggie at end lmao
Cry more 8 year old
Then Rockets rocked Knicks
Lol it went 7 games lmfao
love rockets fans who are like "yeah we kicked their ass"......um no that seven game series was the closest series of any nba series up until that point.
Um....seven game series and a lucky finger tip block. Yea. Rockets sure did rock the Knicks 🙄
in 7 Games HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Ya drunk 🥴
