In less than six weeks Jeff Van Gundy was able to successfully mold personalities the likes of Mase, Oak, Starks after Don Nelson lost the locker room after trying to tinker with chemistry that Pat Riley previously built and developed in his own mold. Van Gundy turned in respectable playoff outings in sweeping the Cavs and playing the title-bound Bulls tough during his period as interim head coach to earn the position permanently. It’s obvious here in these highlights that the core was having fun again after the coaching change, which led to more success later down the line even if it didn’t end with a chip.
Van Gundy had the Knicks respect because he was a workaholic, no-nonsense guy whom was schooled by Pat Riley. He got New York to play the game they were best at instead of Nellie-ball
The next year the Cavs missed the Playoffs on the final day of the season and traded away Brandon in the off season even though they didn't actually want to. Killed off his all star career when that happened.
Ahhhhh Yah 💯 the Mid-90's, the Golden Era of NBA Basketball, with two if the teams with crushing Defenses. I luuuuv how Amahad is NOT Interviewing MJ. so he Interviewed Ewing for a whole 38 Seconds🏀🏀🏀👏👏👏😁
@@chrisuncleahmad666 he was aweful and pathetic! He was trying to get rid of everyone besides mason! Once they fired him! The Knicks got their toughness back and got to the 5th seed! Jeff van Gundy was the biggest difference for the Knicks! Players loved him! Only Mason was mad! Mason loved Van Gundy! But he liked Nelson because he made the offense go by him! But Don Nelson was aweful and pathetic! Chuck Daly should’ve been the coach but rejected it! Then 2 days later called the Knicks back for the job and ownership told him the job was taken by Nelson! Chuck Daly was the guy i wanted after Riley left New York! But Jeff Van Gundy did a hell of a job
Nellie and the personnel didn't match and he tried to turn them into something that they weren't. It was one of those situations that was destined to fail.
Didn't you guys see the new promo NBC Sports put today for NBA on NBC Fall 2025? NBC is back. NBA finalized 11 yr TV deal today with NBC, ABC and Amazon.
Cavaliers 7 years before they drafted LeBron James and the rest was history. 2 decades later LeBron delivers Cleveland their first and only nba championship in the LeBron era
classic times...anyone know the reason why the Knicks didn't wear their traditional black shoes for the playoffs that year? I rem they were wearing the black shoes in the playoffs once Riley arrived in 92. In 92-95, 97-01, they wore black shoes in the playoffs
Great video great game. No kidding man. This is the only UA-cam channel I repeatedly get unsubscribed from without doing it myself. It’s really weird. I wonder how many subscriptions you’re losing out on.
Knicks traded Mason for Larry Johnson great game by Mason in this game perfect knick along with starks they should of interviewed Mason at the end not ewing
R.I.P. Anthony Mason- that dude was so good on the inside and can handle the 🏀
This knicks team will never be forgotten
Better offensive Draymond
Respect
Best nba era
R.I.P Bobby Phills
Respect

💯 👍🏻
I miss this NBA. Back when MEN played
Terrel Brandon very underrated point guard 🏀🏀
Terrell Brandon was really good
The next year the Cavs missed the Playoffs on the final day of the season and traded away Brandon in the off season even though they didn't actually want to. Killed off his all star career when that happened.

The NBA is going back to NBC! Too bad Marv won't be back....great era
I was at this game! Loved these old Knick teams.
The golden era of the nba
The 1990s had so many good point guards, so Terell Brandon is almost forgotten, but he was really good and fun to watch.
I forgot Dan Majerle was in Cleveland during that SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW DOWN era before going to Miami.
My favorite era of basketball
I feel like many people never noticed Majerle was on the 2002 Suns also
😂❤

Knicks probably would've done a lot better in 95-96 if Jeff Van Gundy took over right away following Pat Riley's departure.
That is very true! Would’ve been top 3 seed
Don Nelson wasn’t THAT bad with the Knicks (34-25 record)
@@chrisuncleahmad666true but with van gundy being the coach the whole season the record would have been better.

It's weird seeing Dan Majerle in a Cavs uniform and not the Suns uniform
Playing the Knicks in the playoffs would become a annual thing for Dan though
I think of him as a Sun and Heat player lol.
He had just went there. Phoenix 95 season where they were so close (yet again) was it for Barkley and Dan.
Ahh Yah 💯 then a few years later Shawn Kemp goes home to the Cavs. Really weird Not seeing him in a Seattle uniform.
I miss this presentation and feel. I miss the music. Can it come back w NBA going to NBC?
The music but not much else.

Man I forgot the Cavs 1996 season. Thought they fell off a Cliff between 1994 and 2005.
That's what I was just thinking. In my mind they were bad from early 90s until LeBron lol.
@@josereyes1148 they just got bad when Shawn Kemp's career fell apart since they were building their team around him before 2000.
The 90s Knicks 🎉🎉
1994-1997 was the beginning of the decline of those late 80's-early 90's Cavs teams. It wasn't until after the lockout that they hit rock bottom.
Shame kemp couldnt stay in shape during the lockout
@@Kicks-iw2xe Kemp was under the impression the entire season had been cancelled and was not training for it

Those Cavs uniforms…… bruh
Tbh, they kinda grew on me
@@Official_Kings_Versusoh god I hate those uniforms.
@@Official_Kings_Versus like them better than the Price/Daugherty era plain janes and the Lebron era Burgundy and Gold.

I’m surprised this Cavs team even made the playoffs after 1993

I completely forgot that Dan Majerle played for the Cavs!
After spending time with Barkley and company for Phoenix.
Knicks traded Mason for Larry Johnson great game by Mason in this game perfect knick along with starks they should of interviewed Mason at the end not ewing
GO KNICKS
