Michael Jordan / Scottie Pippen vs Patrick Ewing, playoffs 1993,bulls vs knicks game 5 

Jordan AND Pippen in their primes? nothing can compare.

I will NEVER forget this game. As a Knick fan it scarred me to my core. Smith lost this game and thus the series.

1993 was one of, if not the best, NBA playoff years of all time.

My goodness, what a game! I had forgotten how much Pippen had contributed offensively in this game. Jordan was obviously off offensively as there was no way the Knicks were going to let him light them up for 54 points, like he did in Game 4. But these clips show that Jordan did all the LITTLE things it takes to help his team win other than just score: double-digit assists, offensive rebounds and putbacks, blocked shots, steals, etc. Whatever it takes!

The energy in that building was crazy 27 straight wins at home, two wins against the Chicago Bulls and now game 5 at home it must have felt like fight night. These were the day the classic days of bulls vs knicks. although I was a Knicks fan I would watch these games over and over and over for the sheer excitement. These moments can rarely be captured by today's NBA.

What a game! I remember me and my father and uncles all in the front room watching this game. My father just got us a big screen tv that winter with a surround stereo he hooked up to the TV. Living here in Chicago watching the Bulls was must. Those last seconds my house was going crazy 🤣

There is nothing better then early 90's bulls, Knicks! Regular season, and playoffs.

That facial on starks by pippen was vicious!!!!

This game had so many storylines, even two nicknames. Bull fans call it "The Block Party at Madison Square Garden" Knick fans call it the "Charles Smith Game." Chicago vs New York; Jackson vs Riley, so-called grace vs so-called power; Jordan vs Ewing & the best teams in the NBA, who were on a collision course all year. There were great plays & bizarre plays, like Jordan & Pippen in transition, mistaking an official for a teammate & throwing the ball at him. (even Phil Jackson laughed) Bulls went up 8, then Ewing hit a "3" Bulls next chance to regain control, Grant missed a free throw, Cartwright fouled out going for the rebound & "control" was replaced by anxiety of Ewing vs Will Purdue or Stacy King Marv Albert said "this game could define Ewing legacy." not long before Knick's biggest off-season acquisition was stuffed over & over, with the game on the line. When my legacy is defined, I hope I play the way Ewing played that night. Bill Murray poking fun at the all-consuming Jordan media coverage, which I feared might drive Jordan into retirement after '93 Postseason. Seems crazy to think about that now. Thank God the Bulls were there to carry Cub & Bear fans like myself thru the 90s

This game shows why Pippen was important during the championship reign of the 90's. Scottie in the last two games against the Knicks he basically helped Jordan carry the Bulls to the Finals and my favorite part of the game was the facial dunk on Starks (7:45). Maybe even more nasty then the Dunk on Ewing (in my opinion)

For me, this game just confirms that Patrick Ewing was screwed as an NBA player. Jordan had guys who could step up for him, Paxson hit the big shot in 93, Kerr the big one in 97, obviously Pippen always came through for Jordan when he had to. Ewing's guys? Get point blank layups blocked over and over again like Smith. Or go ice cold in Game 7 of the Finals like Starks. Ewing's no Jordan, but he'd have gotten his ring if he had teammates that could deliver in the clutch.

Man was Ewing silky smooth or what? What a jumpshot

This and the '92 NFC Conference Championship are my two favorite pro games of life.

One of the best and most gut-wrenching playoff games I remember watching during the Bulls' dynasty years. Smith being blocked over and over was classic!

Great Defense as always by the two Greatest Defensive Wings IMO of All-time!

Scottie Pipen the best defense

The old NBA theme music...so much better

Jordan defense in the lower area pippen at the upper back area it never been plan its just a combination of two great player

Pippen point blank defense. Crucial.

In my opinion, the most exciting game I have ever seen !

Smith. Smith. Smith. Smith again!!! LOL! Wow! I just relived that moment. Thanks for the upload. Great memories.

Last play be Charles Smith, he gets blocked by Grant, recovers and ball stripped by Jordan, recovers and blocked by Pippen, and another block by Pippen. How is Charles Smith a bum? He just got stopped 4 times by one of the greatest defensive teams of all time.

smh* I'm a Bulls fan true and through... Scottie Pippen is my favorite player of all time... but even I have to admit... Ewing was alone out there.

Sorry Jordan haters. Those were all clean blocks on Smith! Deal with L. You had PLENTY of other chances, with, AND without Jordan, to win in the 90's. Knicks were an all-time great team..very emotional. But it was that same emotion that destroyed them...they just couldn't handle pressure

Este es el mejor juego de la serie de ese año. Y uno de los mejores juegos de Pippen en su carrera.

Probably my favorite Bulls game of all time.

This game Reminds me of the old days when the Knicks were men. and not the useless losers we suffer with now.

The 93 bulls is my favorite team!!!! They went through hell and back to win a third straight championship!!!!!! As much as I love the 91 bulls, the 93 bulls is my favorite championship team!!!! Chicago bulls nation for life!!!!!!

Great video quality of "The Block Party"

...not a Scottie fan at all. But I forgot how NICE dude was, DAMN!!! He had a diverse set of skills...and he had baby-Mike like intensity.

8:17 - 8:31 perfectly sums up Jordan & Pippen. helping each other win.

From my perspective of the first 3peat team. This was the greatest game played where legacies were at steak. Would fans still consider MJ as an all time great and would haters change their opinions on Ewing not being able to step up in crunch time. This game decided the fates of Jordan and Ewing.

15:34 X-Man watched from home like “they traded me for this shit? FOUR MISSED ATTEMPTS” 15:48 salt on the wound as the buzzer sounds and Mike runs off into the New York summer night for what the world thought was the last time (for the first time)

The 93 bulls went through so much adversity during ththe 93 playoffs but they were able to stay tough and win their third straight championship!!!!! Chicago bulls nation for life!!!!!

I never knew patrick ewing was this good lol.

OMG! I was in Sr High, and remember be all of the game in the edge of the seat in my parents' home. Really brought me memories these highlights. I wish we can see games like this again.

I love watching this game. Every possession counts

They blocked the shit out of Charles Smith 😂😂.

15:34 The funniest moment in Marv Albert's career!

The Knicks killed themselves from the FT line shooting 20/38 the entire game.

and,what happened to the centers of today?Patrick Ewing's low post moves will always be a joy to watch.his turnaround fadeaway jumper from the baseline was one of my favorite moves,a move that that you can't see to the centers of this era.and Patrick was a warrior during his time and always will be.he could've have won a championship or two if not...for MJ!!

This is one of the best playoff games in league history.

This is probably one of the top 5 best playoff games ever. Most people think of MJ as a scoring machine but he actually KILLED the Knicks in this game with all the intangibles: offensive rebounds, finding the open man, hustle plays, and getting it done on the end where it really counts: defense. It’s hard to say if Smith was fouled at the end there for sure but unless it was BLATANTLY obvious they weren’t going to call it in a frantic situation like that.

I remember watching this game... The nod to "Poltergeist" He's BAAAACK! After MJ lit the Knickerbockers up for 54... Yea, NY had plenty to be scared of that night!

This was when NBA Basketball was great, now its watered down crap. Thank you for posting this

NBA on NBC always had the best intros!!!

One of the plays that ALWAYS stuck out in my mind was the play @12:12 Did y'all see HOW HIGH he got up on that release, and how long he hung in the air?!!

Absolutely my favorite Bulls/Knicks game. This is the only year as a Bulls fan I wasn't sure we'd win it all. The Knicks were that damn good and that hungry.

8:50 nice coast to coast. Classic playoff game Bulls were on a mission that year

I was 7yrs old watching this with my older brother..this was the NBA.

EWING FOR SMITH.... SMITH, SMITH,SMITH,SMITH, STOP SMITH AGAIN, WHAT A PLAY BY SCOTTIE PIPPEN!!!!!

I miss 90's basketball.. An era where power was actually allowed in the paint / post. Now all anyone has to do is flop when being backed down and it is an offensive foul. So annoying watching a team try to take advantage of a switch with a big player v small player in the post. It is almost an automatic offensive foul for the big player.

What a great play by Ewing from 5:55-6:00!!!!!:D

Great game great win! Patrick Ewing always gave the bulls problems. Great player!!

High quality basketball. That's how the game is supposed to look.

Players of this time are barely rookies to the ones back then. MJ Ewing and all the others will score 40+ in almost every game of the season in this league of today.

Man those NBC intros always got me hyped to watch some epic showdown. I miss those NBA on NBC days!

1993 was the year the Knicks had the chance to dethrone the bulls…the 1992-93 Knicks had a monster year…they were rising in the early 90s but Knicks blew it in this game, after the game 5 killer loss, it was over, that was the series, the Knicks never recovered again.😢

Pippen was money on both sides of the ball this series!

scottie was killing in this game. he carried them. this game was so intense. i am sweating watching this game!

This game was an absolute battle, this was when the NBA was actually worth watching and not this washed up league that we see today. I think the early-mid 90's Knick's team would beat any team today. No way that Dwight Howard and any other center today could hang with Patrick Ewing. Scottie Pippen on the open floor was just murder.

That's one of the greatest games of the 1990s Chicago Bulls...Thanks for uploading!

"the alley opp to perfection" legendary

like always scotty pippen

Ewing for Smith...Smith...stripped...Smith stopped! Smith stopped again! By Pippen!

That NBA on NBC theme song man gives me chills, I would give up everything I own in this world just to live a week back in those days. The Games, the players, the physical play and heart that the players had for the game has just diminished in todays game its all about twitter and facebook, it sucks.

10:25 this one of the coldest moves i ever seen from mj

The last 30 seconds are epic!!

Ewing and knicks was awsome, the only reason that the knicks didn't won a championship was Jordan

Can we just imagine if MJ went to Knicks after 1998 title?

My fuck was this great ball in the 90's!! Todays game just lacks any cohesion and team play, all about showboating/dunks and there isn't the same feeling as was then

I love this game.

Four tries and got denied four times

EXCELLENT!!!!

Had to rewatch this game for entertainment and nostalgic purposes. Yeah, Charles Smith is under the microscope because of the finish, but the Knicks lost this game at the foul line: 20/35, and they lost by 3. Only a handful of free throws would've changed how this game and possibly this series ended.

The fight in the stands was the best!

Do you notice the guy's bodies back then were muscles and cut up now the guy's bodies are fat, super skinny, or have no muscle tone at all. Man, I miss these days! Life was different.

Cuatro jugadas defensivas en los últimos segundos: Grant con el bloqueo, Jordan con chispar el balón, y los dos últimos bloqueos de Pippen. Sí, algo que en estos días ya no se ve en la Nba: el básquet se gana por defensa.

This video is basketball game between Newyork vs Chicago . But, this is not just game. This is war of represented 2 cities.

man,,, thats right......also my fav game

That version of super mike was amazing!

smith, smith, smith, bulls stop smith, smith, smith, smith............damn what was that name again?? lol............

I cried at the end of this game as an 11 year old knick fan. We had a packed house & we were all deflated. Imagine busting ur butt all year for home court & it comes down to the last play? X man should have stayed

Smith was so mad at the end lol

classic game. wowwww

Miss this kind of BALL

The Knicks were 60-22 in 1993...and the Bulls wiped the floor with them. Still, the Garden was so alive back then. It was the hottest ticket in town. There were so many celebrities at Knicks games (besides Spike Lee). Now, no one gives a shit. People care about the Knicks as much as they care about the NY Liberty.

7:47, it was brutal.

MJ and Scottie torched the Knicks. They were the Knicks worst nightmare.. 😝😝😝😝

dont forget rodman he set the tone on defense and played with heart and shut down the other teams post player!

this still hurts

this years heat team reminds of this bulls team, didnt have homecourt through both east finals and the finals against the sun

4:23 That dunk was good

I just tortured myself again watching Charles Smith miss 3 layups - life of a Knick fan, wound still fresh after all these years - I still hate the Bulls

A classic

RIP Charles Smith’s career.

Epic game for my Bulls.

Uhhh noooo I was so siiick after this game...

Ewing was never the best post-up scorer in the NBA, but my god how he would destroy the league today. I mean your best centers are Howard, Lopez and Gasol. I don't think Ewing shooting his jumper would even be fair to those guys.

He traveled and I bring it up every time a knick fan tries to say Smith was fouled.
