Willis Reed walking out in the 7th game of the 1970 finals is THE Knicks moment. He had a torn thigh muscle and wasn't supposed to play. A couple minutes before tip off he came strolling out of the lockerroom. MSG went crazy, teammates got fired up. He scored the first 4 pts. That was all it took.

@sarge1231 10 месяцев назад

I disagree that the game was so easy for him. From all reports I have seen, it was not that it came easy for him. He just out worked everybody else. He practiced with the same intensity with which he played, and he demanded that his team mates give their all as well. I think it dishonors the legend that is and was, Michael Jordan, to make like this all came easy for him. Great people usually become great through extremely hard work that others with equal physical ability, just never put in the hard work to match.

@Johnny-xj5qu Год назад

If Ewing was a clutch player the Knicks would have won a series. He had the biggest mismatch on the floor but couldn’t cash in. The biggest games in a series are usually 5 and obviously 7. Game 5 in a 8 pt loss, he was 5/14 with 14 pts and 7 Rebs. Game 7 which he guaranteed they’d win, 8/19.

@davidjohnson5243 Год назад

@@hagnuj1070 Indeed he did and it worked tremendously. But he still smoked his cigars and stayed out late and golfed 18 holes before games at times and would drink a bottle of beer or two before games at times. That's not the purpose of his statement. Plenty of professional athletes who handle their business first and party later. Jordan knew his body also and he was completely different. Mind over matter. Most athletes would have horrible games if they didn't get the proper sleep you needed to play on that level night in and night out consistently. Again Jordan was just wired differently! Be like that sometimes. There are some athletes that can do crazy things like that and still be great, very little though. When Jordans first few years in the league he didn't do any of that. Smoke drink etc. He was basically a saint and separated himself from the team when they did things like that. It's documented also on video. Especially his first couple of years before Pippen came on board. Mike's rookie year his team was called traveling cocaine circus. He explains some of that in the last dance also. Jordan is my guy forever but he did not take his body as seriously like a Kobe or LeBron. Watch Redeem Team on Netflix and see what Kobe did and how LeBron and company saw that work ethic off the court and how it spread down to the whole USA team.

@tracyjohnson5023 Год назад

Ronnie I agree. One of the main things lacking for many youths today is a good father figure in their lives to model and demand a good work ethic. So many of them truly think the world owes them just for existing. They have no personal accountability society has taught them nothing is their fault.

@northernstar6641 Год назад

@tracyjohnson5023 I understand what you guys are saying, but my Father was an alcoholic. He started drinking after ww2 and was (as my mother said) never the same. Because of that, it was our Mother, my Brother and I heard screaming in the crowd and encouraging us not only to play hard, give it our all but to be good people and to pursue as much education as possible. She always felt that education was the key that opened so many doors but enjoyed watching us play sports and succeeding at it. We grew up in the projects, but because of her, we not only succeeded at sports but got our degrees and have succeeded in life because of what she instilled in us. We never missed our Father and never blamed him for not being there as our Mother never did. We need strong Father's, but there are some tough moms out there, and ours was one of them.

Yup!! Just got chills and nostalgia 🤯, the memories & music/theme of..."This is the NBA on NBC. The 1996 NBA Playoffs. Today, Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semi-Finals, it's the Chicago Bulls versus the New York Knicks."

@davidmalik9821 Год назад

I hated the Bulls and Jordan, in that order, when he played. In fact, I started the "ABC Team," Anybody But Chicago Team. However, what this film doesn't show is his turn around, fade away, jumper that was deadly and unstoppable. When that shot was falling, you were pretty much done. Great film, great memories, and yes, now that he is retired, I will finally admit that he is one of the greatest to ever lace 'em up. Pure artistry on the offensive end and what is even more impressive is that he played defense. He played both ends of the floor.

Shout out to Starks for supporting MJ in that interview over that AC crap. Never knew that. Mad respect.

@mauriciocastro6363 10 месяцев назад

It' nice to hear John Starks talking with such a high perspective about MJ. He was there to do his job the best he could, which was to try to stop MJ. Bastketball is a physical and mental game. You have to expect a lot of friction, aggresive behavior, and high levels of competitiveness. It's not soft, it's rough. And MJ took that as an ignition power to take his game to the highest level. Now a days the NBA is not like that anymore. It's boring. I miss the NBA from the 80s and 90s, those where the golden years.

@joggingscissors632 Год назад

The dunk over Ewing, after breaking the double team (10:30) might be my favorite play of all time.

@mannysavage3413 Год назад

Definitely the best MJ move ever... His favorite too

@tracyjohnson5023 Год назад

Watched an old Jordan interview video the other day from era where he'd recently retired for the second time. One thing that really struck me was MJ saying that players new to the NBA shouldn't get sponsorship deals or shoes named after them until they've proven themselves worthy. He said their salaries were already paying them too much for potential. They need to earn the rest. I absolutely agree with him.

@michaeltiesto Год назад

Jonh Stark doesn’t get mentioned enough when we talk about guards. This dude was something to see against MJ. Any other player would be broken down over the years with the Knicks during the 90’s. That was Bad Boys 2.0 with better players yet MJ never let them in the Finals. It showed how great MJ and Bulls were.

@FuShengAlex Год назад

Uhhh the Badboys were much more talented

@michaeltiesto Год назад

@@FuShengAlex you think so? I don’t know. The Knicks got size, grit, talent and nastiness with a 5 times champion coach. Daly was great, God bless his soul. But he was not Pat. Ewing, Oakley, Mason, Stark, Wilkins, Xavier, Allan Houston, Daniel Smith..those guys were much bigger than Pistons with speed and skills on average overall. Plus you got to see how to defend MJ from the Bad Boys. So you know what to do strategically, physically, and mentally. They battled so hard with the Bulls so when MJ took a 2 years break. They were worn out to win against Hakeem and them boys. Nevertheless it was an era with great basketball, Pistons, Knicks, Pacers… Bulls kept us inside when the sun was outside in the spring.

@FuShengAlex Год назад

@@michaeltiesto the Pistons had big time shot makers in close moments (Isiah, Joe D, Dantley and Aguirre). Laimbeer was a very good spot up shooter.....better than any Knicks frontcourt player outside of Ewing in the 90s. The Knicks would always play hot potato in cruchtime around Ewing. By the time Houston arrived, Ewing was declining and becoming lesser focal point of the team. Xavier only had 1 season in NY

@calvinbyer2319 Год назад

I'm a Knicks fan and loved that '93 team. We were the Bad Boys 2.0 only from an aspect of being very physical. Outside of Ewing, we struggled to get an offense flowing which was our undoing. The Pistons beat the Bulls up plus they had multiple guys (Thomas, Dumars, V. Johnson, Aguirre) that could put the ball through the hoop. If we had some of that Pistons' talent that would've made the Knicks a more formidable opponent.

@derhom Год назад

I love the series, every single game is so intenseing,Jordan saw Starks as be a competitor.

@xlxl9440 Год назад

What John Starks says about Michael Jordan's WILL is important and telling. When the debate comes up for the greatest Basketball player and one of the greatest athletes ever, people do not take Jordan's will into account. But this is the singular thing that made him the greatest. LeBron, Kobe, Dr J, Kobe, A.I. (Allen Iverson) even Clyde Drexler, and OTHERS just did or do not have the will of the mentality of Michael Jordan to win no matter what. These other athletes are as gifted or more gifted physically than Michael Jordan, but they didn't or don't have the same mental makeup as Jordan. This is what separates Michael Jordan from the rest. Only Kobe Bryant is a distant second.

I always will respect Starks and that whole team cuz it doesn't get better than those games. Two extremely well coached, talented, hard nosed defensive teams that played similarly and knew each other really well. Hats off to you John Starks and thanks for such great memories man

@sensiblyhonest695 Год назад

It makes me a little sad to see these highlights from the 90's. All we have now is legalized traveling, professional wrestler level flopping, run to the 3pt line forsaking offensive rebounds, piss-poor fundamentals, players playing half the schedule in a WNBA version of what once was the NBA.

@Spud_E_Buddy Год назад

@@Spud_E_Buddy Across the league athleticism is better than the 90's, and there are a few players with elite skills. The League moved away from physicality allowing these great athletes to mask their LACK of basketball skills and piss poor fundamentals.

@@Spud_E_Buddy LOL... only a handfull bother to D'up. Running at a guy lobbing a 3 isn't D'ing up. Nobody is questioning that athleticism is important, but Defense is more of an attitude than a skill. Skills show up when you can get your shot off without getting two or three free steps... and make it. Euro-stepping is what they used to let the junior high girl's team get away with.

@mrprodg8215 Год назад

What I love about J Starks is that he acknowledged MJ's greatness and admitted to his deficiencies, yet still went out there, played his best, and embraced their shared battles. I am not sure today's players are of similar cloth because, in the heat of battle, many of these cats do not wish to admit that their opponent is on a different plateau...

@premosuave9311 Год назад

@Say No To White Imperialism And Propaganda it's easy to say that in hindsight but it's unfair. Starks was 2nd best option which was already a problem and the same chucking that lost them game 7 almost single handedly won the finals for them in game 6. The Knicks did Ewing wrong not getting him a real 2nd star player and letting starks be an x factor at best

@@madterps Knicks were also up 3-2 in that series so overall they blew it and I'm a Knicks fan. Pat Riley should have put Rolando Blackmen in and it's something he admitted years later in the 2000's. And as a Knicks fan now that I'm older I can say they were lucky to even get into the finals because Chicago really had that one game that the ref called a ghost foul on Pippen letting Hubert Davis shoot those game ending free throws. It's wild to think that the Bulls without Jordan were possibly going back to the finals. I think Game 5 was the famous NBA on NBC game cut short due to OJ chase.

@bolder2009 Год назад

Utah swept the Shaq and Kobe lakers in 98, and met Jordan with the statistically worst supporting cast of his championship winning teams, and lost in 6 games. Pippen wasn't healthy in the finals, and the Bulls were the oldest team, yet MJ led them to victory. Phoenix in 93 was a great team that would have won if not for Jordan having one of the greatest performances in a finals series. Arguably the greatest performance in a finals series. He beat Lakers after having swept the Pistons for the first championship on the way to the finals, WITHOUT another all-star teammate (Pippen was not an all-star that season). They swept Shaq and Penny in Orlando on the route to the finals in 96. Pat Riley's Knicks and that Portand team led by Drexler in the early to mid 90s are underatted. The 96 Sonics were a great team. Jordan forged those Bulls championship teams in his competitive image, after the years of abuse from Detroit.
