i just luv to hear the yunguns talk about how these guys couldnt play today. well. if u dont put a body on the admiral and physical him- u got no chance
This is real world class basketball and two world class centers. Big, strong, powerful, athletic, skillful, inside, outside, slam dunks, midrange j’s. Real all round players. Especially Ewing’s jump shot form is the model for players of all positions.
Basketball used to be sophisticated, creative, there were more unconventional plays, more passes, dunks... Every match was fierce, and when you entered the playoff phase, you could see that it was already fire. Now it's boring, no show, no dunks, no cool passes, not to mention the fact that there is no real center anymore. There were almost only big stars in each team. The ball moved faster, there were real playmakers. Everything was sorted out. Every position on the field used to be distinct, now it seems as if the boundaries are blurring. Basketball was tough, manly... But what can you expect? What times, such basketball.
Money and softness ruined the game. Don’t get me started on load management and every star only playing 65 games per year. Ewing had bad knees and played all 82 several times, and throughput his Knick career gave you 75-82 games.
Hakeem is my number 1, but great to see the real DRob vs the one in the 1995 Conference Finals or the post injury one. People don’t understand how much of a beast he was. I’m really leaning towards taking DRob over Duncan if I had to pick one for my team.
David Robinson won this one on one matchup in scoring, defense, and efficiency. This was also an underrated season from Robinson as well, as it showed he was becoming an elite defender.
Imo the 90s was the greatest era in the NBA their were soooooo many great players the level of competition was insane David Robinson Tim Duncan Patrick Ewing Jordan pippen Olajuwon Shaq Iverson Kobe Drexler Shawn Kemp Mugsy bogues Spud webb Charles Barkley I could go on and on and on
5:20 I love that right there I was really hoping for Robinson to pick him up because Idk who was mic’d but you could hear the humongous Ewing go “eughh” at that shot and it was to draw a foul but it still looked like it hurt and Robinson was already destroying I mean it’s knocking a guy while you’re beating him at his game, LITERALLY.
Peak Robinson edges Peak Ewing. Peak Hakeem edges both and, if he had better career (in their prime) teammates, would be more strongly considered the best center of all time. Put Hakeem on those Showtime Lakers teams and he has 4+ chips. Late 80's -> 90's big man. play was unparalleled.
@@melvynsngltn27 He was faster and quicker than Kareem who seemed to do just fine on the Lakers. Hakeem also had way better hands for steals/poking the ball, which creates transition opportunity, which lends itself to work with a faster, quicker player. We're talking about Hakeem as top 5 ever if he played with the Lakers.
@@melvynsngltn27 Thank goodness. He'd need significant attribute decreases to become Kareem. Kareem had it really hard playing with Magic Johnson...lol. Become slower, less agile, lose offensive diversity, and develop degraded footwork habits. Grow three inches and play with the best point guard ever and a HOF power forward. Prime Hakeem is still looking for an All Star teammate... Get carried.
@@sribble1Uh, by the time Magic came around, Kareem wasn't in his prime. Put Kareem from the Bucks on that Lakers team and he might be the MVP. Hakeem had Clyde Drexler in 1995, one of the 50 greatest players ever, so don't act like he had ZERO help...
Going in the paint when you know D. Robinson and PE are defending is crazy tactics especially when an NBA player is open at three point line where is the logic? My fellow old heads sorry we were obsessed with with toughness rather than common sense Curry would average 30 easy in this way of playing, its like they were scared of taking a three pointer. PE and DR missing open jumpers with no physical defense. The commentator referreing to a basic lay-up as a playground move is hilarious. A flagrant foul for a basic two hand swipe foul not even in todays game would that be considered a flagrant are we telling the truth to these kids about physicality or are we being disingenuous? For Pat Riley to see that his team was losing and not change any tactics to win the game is exactly why Phil and the Bulls had their way in this era cause no one wanted to adapt. I loved the sneakers and the commercials but the game play was God awful college was more exciting during this time if we are being honest the NBA was all about big men everyone else was a spectator im glad that the guards are more respected now, the evolution of the game is glaring.
@@DJVijilante Olajuwon outplayed Ewing in the 94 Finals but positively torched Robinson in the 95 WCF. Hakeem averaged 27 ppg vs Ewing and 35 ppg vs Robinson. Ewing out-rebounded and out-blocked Hakeem too. You’re looking at regular season stats. In the playoffs, Ewing performed better than his season averages and better than Robinson’s playoff averages.

Sorry but this is so much more aesthetic than launching 60 threes a game
The game now has basically no strategy to it. It's so boring how everyone plays the same.
You both are absolutely correct.
todays style of play is so cringe
Absolutely. Back then a three pointer was something special. When someone hits 20/20 3 pointers from midcourt (Curry) like today it becomes boring.
@@mikethomas4368and instead Minnesota Timberwolves 2024 happens
David Robinson was the man!!!
Prime Admiral was a beast.

Bro you're 30, and probably watched 5 games a year. Great players are great in any "era". You don't understand the mindset to achieve at that level.

as someone who is new to the sport , these older games are so much more fun to watch that the 3 point contest of todays game

You don't see battles like this anymore especially at the center position

Jordan pippen
Olajuwon
Shaq
Iverson
Kobe
Drexler
Shawn Kemp
Mugsy bogues
Spud webb
Charles Barkley
I could go on and on and on
The early days of the Riley era Knicks before they really started to click.
The early 90 Knicks was the best
The Knicks had their best Ewing era teams under Riley; it's just that the Admiral is far better than Pat
this 91 Spurs Team Cold!
D-Rob dominates on both end of the court.
He did but Ewing held his own even though it was a blow out.
PATRICK EWING
DAVID ROBINSON
Today s LeBron s nba trash and soft worse era ever
When Titan's rule the NBA!!!!
Mr Robinson.
Ewing and Robinson block each other the whole game😂
why is that funny to you? that's real competition fool.
DRob was a beast 🔥
better than 94 newyork squad
X-Man was the X-factor
Damn 5 blocks a game?
Thx for this one

That Mason flagrant was why people are of the opinion these guys in the modern era couldn't play back then

Olajuwon was ball dominant, he couldn't play with Magic and the Showtime Lakers because you needed it to play off the ball

Akagi vs ouzmi
Robinson owned Ewing Ewing always says Hakeem was his toughest battle I disagree the nicks only new how to play thug ball
Robinson was soft. he didnt give that Knicks lineup too much trouble.
further evidence of that is that Ewing oUT REBOUNDED Robinson in their matchups. I guess thug ball WORKED.

Ewing is better
In which area?
No he's not
@@georgestamatakis697Defense and playoff production. David has advantages in athleticism and scoring though.
@@jaymum23No way is Ewing better than the left handed admiral at defense and rebounding. Admiral averaged more rebounds, blocks, and steals.
@@DJVijilante Olajuwon outplayed Ewing in the 94 Finals but positively torched Robinson in the 95 WCF. Hakeem averaged 27 ppg vs Ewing and 35 ppg vs Robinson.

Wow Robinson was a beast, to bad for him that the spurs never knew what to do with him, they never put together a good team to support him.
You do know D. Robinson is an NBA champion?
