- Prior to the lockout-shortened 1998--99 season, the Knicks traded Starks in a package to the Golden State Warriors for 1994's 1st team all league shooting guard Latrell Sprewell (whose contract was voided by the Warriors after choking Warriors' head coach P. J. Carlesimo during the previous season), while also trading Charles Oakley for Marcus Camby. After barely getting into the playoffs with a 27--23 record, the Knicks started an improbable postseason run. It started with the Knicks eliminating the #1 seeded Heat in the first round after Allan Houston bounced in a running one-hander off the front of the rim, high off the backboard, and in with 0.8 seconds left in the deciding 5th game. This remarkable upset marked only the second time in NBA history that an 8-seed had defeated the 1-seed in the NBA playoffs. After defeating the Atlanta Hawks in the second round four games to none, they faced the Pacers yet again in the Eastern Conference Finals. Despite losing Ewing to injury for the rest of the playoffs prior to Game 3, the Knicks won the series (aided in part to a four-point play by Larry Johnson in the final seconds of Game 3) to become the first eighth-seeded playoff team to make it to the NBA Finals. However, in the Finals, the San Antonio Spurs, with superstars David Robinson and Tim Duncan, proved too much for the injury-laden Knicks, who lost in five games. The remarkable fifth game of this Finals is remembered for its 2nd half scoring duel between the Spurs' Tim Duncan and the Knicks' Latrell Sprewell, and was decided by a long jumper by Avery Johnson with less than 10 seconds left to clinch the title for the Spurs.
My favorite knicks team, so much heart in this team 99' KNICKS
That shot made by Larry Johnson was one of the most memorable and exciting moments of my childhood. I'll still never forget that day, where I was, and how reacted.
Where were you? And how did you react?😮
Johnsons 4 point play was the most spectacular sports play I had ever seen...
Miss my Knicks from the 90s, they knew how to win as a team, they had heart..
I became a NYK fan since 1999, that team had more heart than any team right now in the NBA.
Only 8 seed in league history to reach the Finals
Bobby Care the warriors lost in the second round so I don’t know what ur talking about. The spurs swept the Cavs in 2007.
Heat last year
This squad deserved a ring, they played so hard, if Ewing never got hurt I honestly feel like they would’ve won, in the finals they were so undersized, they were already one of the shortest teams in the league, when u got a 6’5 Larry Johnson guarding a 6’11 Tim Duncan it’s a big mismatch, and LJ still produced, If it was any other team they would’ve won
Don't know if they would have beaten the Spurs but if they had Ewing they would have made it a more competitive series possibly forcing it to go full 7.
Frank Williamson camby couldn’t handle Robinson, Robinson was tossing him and then when Dudley would come in he would just foul him
If Ewing doesn't get hurt, Knicks push it to 7. Spurs still win.
100spurs ehhh idk, with Ewing that’s another 17 pts a game on average plus someone who could handle Robinson I think it could go either way
Our 99 team was stacked. The Knicks weren't gonna beat us. Ewing was good but not in his prime. With healthy Ewing it could go 6 but its not even going 7. If this supporting cast was around Ewing in 92-94 then maybe they'd win it all. But nobody was beating the Spurs in 99
When Allan Houston hit that shot, I nearly went through my mama's roof! These 90's Knicks were everything. And of course, this brings a tear to my eyes because I always rooted for Allan Houston to succeed and "The Shot" propelled the Knicks into Stardom that year and forever more. He saved many careers with that shot....his own and as quiet as its kept...Van Gundy coaching job as well............
I vividly remember listening to the Gus Johnson radio call of this play; man a flood of memories just came flashing back like they were yesterday.
"Houston pops out up top, down the lane, RUNNING JUMPER...OFF THE FRONT RIM, AND IN!"
they played with heart & were good defensively
I was at a sports bar in Miami when Alan hit that runner. There was a large group of fellow Knick fans there. We all fucking EXPLODED when Alan hit the runner. Heat fans were so goddamn dejected and depressed....it was wonderful.
It was a fun series against New York seeing my Spurs win they're first of 5 championships in 1999. That kincks team in 1999 was a solid team and not 100% but was still dangerous. The Spurs had came into the finals with only one loss in the playoffs.. after beating the Timberwolves 3-1 and sweeping the Lakers and blazers in the always tough western conference... There was no way they were going to lose in the finals to the Knicks.
They only won one game against the Spurs (David Robinson and a young Tim Duncan), but the Garden gave them a standing ovation.
The Knicks were a much better team than an 8th seed. It all came together as they easily excoriated the east. Sprewell in the open court is an amazing player. Unstoppable
Watching these Knicks play is more fun then vs how they play now !
+Raffy T Why can't I find any footage's of the Knicks vs Hawks series anywhere on youtube? It does't exist at all!
Patrick ewing , marcus camby , and latrell sprewell very2 amazing ..
I'm not a Knicks fan, but this squad was one of my favorites.
This was the last time the Knicks were good, how sad.....
They had one more great year which was the following year but it started falling apart after that.
I remember watching the Knicks in the 90s when they had Houston Sprewell Camby and Ewing. It's been really tough decade since van gundy left. I hope to God that Stoudemire brings back the memories of New York having a winning season.
I remember when i was 6, in game 5 against the heat that last shot from allan houston. After it went in, i ran around the house and was jumping up and down.
I too became a Knick fan in the Spring of 1999. I wasnt front-running lol, I was just a 9 year old kid that discovered a love for basketball and the NY Knicks
Buf que grande era ese equipo mitico para mi. Con el gran capitan como LJ
Go NY!!!!
I loved Larry Johnson lol LJ would scream when he finger rolled a layup
anyone else get nostalgic and emotional when watching this?
Those were the REAL knicks! Not the shitty team we had for the last decade. These were real nba players. I give Reggie, Jordan, Mourning props, but these knicks were the greatest underdogs in that era.
@ Will125 i liked them in 94 when the lost to the Rockets but my favorite team was the 99. They played with so much heart back then.
Being a seven year old kid watching this Knick team made me a Knicks fan.
I miss this team
Made the Finals twice in the 1990s its unfortunate they had to go up against Jordan, Olajuwon, and Duncan. Probably will go down as one of the best teams to not win a championship.
what more better than 8 seed making to the nba finals an 8 seed wins an nba championship
NEW YORK, WE HERE!!!
couldnt be more excited that we are on our way to the playoffs again, as a threat!! LETS GO KNICKS beat memphis tonight!!!
The Madison Square Garden starting lineup intro the Knicks had back in the mid to late 1990s was awesome. It's too bad they took that away. I'm not sure what they do now, but I don't think it's as good or I probably would have been inspired by it
I like that team, I wish david lee was still in ny though. Oakley who can score 20 a game.
Although they were the 8th seed, they were suppose to win the title that season.
The Spurs were the better team.
Nah the Spurs was too much
larry johnson is a knicks legend.
This is when I became a Knicks fan!
Marcus Camby was a beast in 1999 playoff
favorite team of all time
there might be alot of things the knicks now need but if a team has heart then they could do anything, the 90s knicks proved tht.
It's sad that most Knick fans, including myself, would settle for a playoff appearance. I think they have a chance to contend for division titles in a few years b/c Boston is old, but only if they get a better PG. People talk about Carmelo Anthony, but he's not going to get you a championship, he doesn't play defense.
What you talking about man. The whole point is that in theory they shouldn't have even got past the 1st round, but they did and it was the greatest playoff run ever by any team. They were a tough hard team man and you have to respect them for their effort. I watched all of their playoff games that season, it was awesome.
the glory days....
...will return 2010!
Hello the years 2019 and just to let you know the Knicks are still trash and worse than ever
Nope.
The knicks are good in 2010 hope this decade they surprise with a Championship
I don't know much about this lorry Johnson guy but he like the clutchest player ever or wat
how the fuck don't u know who Larry Johnson is. a legendary college player at unlv. and Larry Johnson and Alonso mourning together in Charlotte unstoppable.
...Are you really young by any chance?
im 23
Michael Papamarkou ....Okay, if your a fairly new Knicks fan that would explain why you never heard of Larry Johnson (But he was an insanely good 3 point shooter & could turn the tables of a game w/ just a few quick buckets (y)
Can you believe that, alllll those years in NY working his ass off losing to Jordan, he finally almost gets to his life goal, his old knees give out when he can smell the finish line, and he watches the best team he ever played on fall cause hes not in.
Even 93 if it wasn't for Jordan, they probably could have won a title. Out of all those playoff teams the Knicks were in the 90s, the 92-93 Knicks were the best of all of them and they got to the ECF that year, which was far into the playoffs than the previous playoff Knicks teams. 92-93 and 93-94 were the best years for the Knicks to win.
hahaha dont cry man... that win was just amazing for us! very painfull for others.. like u...
I miss this team so bad
I miss this knicks
Sprewell choked P. J. Carlesimo. Head coach from the golden state warriors. Got suspendet a year for that I think.
The new York Knicks are the first 8th ranked team to ever make the NBA finals, before losing to the San Antonio Spurs in five games with Tim Duncan and David Robinson?
Welcome back marcus camby!
Do you have the complete documentary? Thanks.
The time when the knicks are dope
Amen brother
1:39 hahahaha Spree lookin like Pootiie Tang hahah.. NYK my team since 00-01 season
Why cant The NBA have back these Knicks???
WORD Bro!!!!
Yeah The NBA would be much better if these Knicks were on the top of their game.
Allen Greene
The 2011 Miami Heat would've easily beaten the 99 Knicks by 50 by the third quarter
👑 LeBron would've had 45/10/12 on spreewell
Because James Dolan ran them into the ground.
Knicks were the shits back in the other century
MrBrain915 now they’re crap.
Lol @ the Knicks being underdogs to Atlanta. The Hawks top 2 players were out with injury. Everybody knew that series would be a cakewalk. I remember thinking, after NY beat Miami, they _should_ make it to the finals.
What video is that from?
This is why i'm a KNICKS Fan for life
We needed Ewing in those Finals
If they had won all the way, it could have been the greatest championship run
I always wandered would happen if that team was around Patrick in 94 against houston how well would we have done!
1999 = Last real season of the NBA.
VictorCT727 1998 was the last real season of the NBA.
I get teary eyed going back to watch the ‘99 Knicks. I mean my god Ewing, Spree, Charlie, LJ, Allen, etc. These players had heart, determination, and guts. Ewing gave his body to the Knicks. Especially this season. I still say if we weren’t so injured plagued, we could have beaten the Spurs. I love Knicks and especially this team. Left it all out there on the court.
Who else is in here tonight, sleepless as we wait for game 1 against the heat tomorrow?!
Man I'm from New York so represent baby
thumb ups if you're watching it in the locker-room with Mark Jackson, Gerald Wilkins and Xavier McDaniel on Betamax !!
The LOST tradition........I always remember watching the OLD Knicks EVERY end of the game, doesn't matter Win or Lose or BLOWOUT they always huddle at the center court praying or cheering up, sometimes EVEN opponent teams joins the huddle. Look at NBA NOW.....
Funny how this clips ends when Bill Walton started speaking...lmao
What I mean by "they shouldn't have got past the first round" is the Heat won the first series. If the second half of Game 5 had been officiated properly, the Heat would've had a 12-15 point lead in the late 4th instead of 1. Houston made a great shot but he shouldn't have had the chance. I won't deny that the '99 Knicks were a great story, but the truth is, the Heat won that Game 5. And if that happened as it should have, this team wouldn't be any more remembered than most 8 seeds.
@Tinbarton dont miss them there back
I don't think they ran out of gas, they were just over powered by the Spurs. I think if they had a healthy Ewing they would have won. All 5 of those games were close, competitive games even without Patrick.
Who would’ve thought james dolan once he took over as solo owner next year would begin the process of turning the Knicks from a contender into a laughing stock which they still are today because of his narcissistic attitude? Under his leadership, this is how the Knicks have done since.
5 winning seasons
6 playoff appearances
16 losing seasons
1 playoff series win in the last 20 years
1 Atlantic Division title win
4 first round exits.
Yep he certainly knows what he’s doing alright.
52 years and counting. I better see a championship in my lifetime
The last time my squad was relevant. Can we please get this right.
absolutely.
yeah... but they lost to the spurs in the finals...
If Ewing played in Finals Knicks would have won Spurs were just to Big against the Knicks
True dat...
+Elvis Sujak Sad But True..
does anyone know where I can find the video of Latrell Sprewwell choking Jeff Van Gundy?! =[[[[[[[
It was PJ Carlesimo he chocked
If that was a best of 7 series who knows
Brings a tear to my eye watching this. If only Pat wasn't hurt.
@Maverick2005m Very similar. But they were a proven bunch. Knicks today individually have good resumes but nothing as a team.
And then we lost to the spurs :(
Ewing doesnt get hurt Knicks win the whole thing damn shame. I miss this team
Judd lato no the Spurs were the better team.
Why can't I find any footage's of the Knicks vs Hawks series anywhere on youtube? It does't exist at all!
I literally came to post the same thing! Nobody has those games! I remember reading in a fitness book that the Atlanta Hawks had donuts in their locker room during Game 1 of that series, while the Knicks had bran muffins in theirs, and the series was a landslide from there . Major 0-4 upset and the Hawks franchise did not recover for a long, long time.
Game 4 of the Hawks/Knicks series was actually a pretty legendary moment in Knicks history too....that was the game where seemingly the entire 20,000 MSG crowd began chanting "JEFF VAN GUNDY" and would not stop. All through that regular season there were rumors that Jeff Van Gundy would not be rehired. That was the game where the people of New York city showed they were fully behind Van Gundy, and management decided to stick with him. The Knicks had a much better regular season in 1999-00, I remember Saturday Night Live even airing a cartoon depicting a Lakers/Knicks 2000 NBA Finals but it was not to be.
TRJ2241987 Wow, thanks for sharing such a great moment in time during Knicks history. Man, there has to be a way to see at least some clips/highlights from that series. Maybe MSG or other Networks have rights to some clips, that they can possible release to the public?
If the series was indeed broadcasted, surely someone had to record it on VHS? We don't even have shitty VHS quality of the highlights lol.
where can i watch the full video of these???
The 90s knicks are probably one of the best teams to never win a chip.
@Tinbarton i mean you tried to say we miss this knicks
Because Lakers can be 2nd best to the Knicks
if healthy, the Knicks woulda probably beat the spurs..
that was awesome
what video or dvd is this from?
"upsets and underdogs" dvd
Mark my words.
KNICKS 2011 CHAMPS! If Laker fans don't like that, they can suck it.
don't worry cause this year over legacy will be redeemed when we the championship 1999 was a failure for us not winning the championship but we was banged up and still made the finals houston johnson ewing sprewell ward camby was all banged up
we miss 90's NBA.. but 2010-2011 season will be the best
u a knick or heat or pacer
only Bangondi´s head and Knicks earth
If only patrick didn't get hurt we would've won a ring and all that bullshit in the decade never happened
