Michael Jordan vs Patrick Ewing Highlights (1992 ECSF Game 1) - 65pts Combine! A Lifelong Rivalry! 

Ewing was a great player

As a huge Bulls fan of the 90s, I miss the Knicks' play from this era. Mad respect for that squad.

It’s so unfortunate how people overlook Patrick Ewing today. He finished an MVP voting top 5 6 times in his career. The MVP voting is a better system to determine who were the top five players that season and not the whole NBA team that’s position base. This is a fact Ewing is the most underrated player on both sides of the court in nba history!

Man Ewing was awesome in this game!

'92 and '99 were my favorite Knick teams.

This series and my Pacers are the only teams to take Jordan to 7

The no call by the ref was beautiful we need that more in today’s game

When they try to make the argument about certain players of today who could play in this era, show them this game and that list disappears!

When NBA basketball was real....

real hoops right here. remember this game so vividly. I was 18

This series was a defensive masterpiece. My fav Bulls/Knicks series. If the Knicks would've kept the core of this team in place, they may have won it all in 1993.

MJ Goat

Ewing owned the center's of Chicago, Jordan owned the guards of new York, great epic battles ( back in the damn days miss em )

This demonstration shows when you have a big man guard in the paint. Not like today's NBA with it's lovely and friendly 3 second rule violation. Great video. I so miss the 90s.

Loved my Knicks! They just couldn’t win that pivotal game in Chicago when they needed to!

Patrick was dominant that game. He outplayed Jordan and that's a rarity. 😮 He attacked their interior defense and didn't settle for long perimeter shots.👌I remember Chamberlain saying Ewing bails out the defense constantly settling for jumpers. If Patrick played like this more often against the Bulls, they would've had more success.👍 Imagine that?!😏

Ewing was my idol

This is the Ewing and the Knicks time to win NBA championship.

This was arguably the best Knick team of this decade, why they got rid of X-Man when he was giving Chicago defense all kinds of problems for Charles “hey lets miss five easy layups under the basket with the series on the line” Smith(?!) literally makes no sense

The defense and man to man effort... sorely absent in this current era of the NBA. I miss these days of greatness on both sides of the court.

The Brilliance of MJ still astounds me! On DEFENSE, MJ is all over Greg Anthony and John Starks who are attacking all night. That must be exhausting even if he is peak prime age. On OFFENSE, Anthony, Starks are as aggressive and as physical as it can ever get without going into beat down territory of Bad Boys, the patience in MJs offensive game and decision making is 2nd to none. MJs supreme offensive skillset created insane angles for him and not rushing the moves is eclipcing and challenging NYKs insane physical and extremely quick defense led by young guns on perimeter anthony, starks etc. Notice, how Pippen in again no where to be found. When defense got crazy physical, just like kobe and lebron, pippen often got intimidated and fell thru. Its the likes of Magic, Bird and MJ that surivived and had the counter punch be it Phillys defense on Magic and Bird or Bad Boys defense on Magic and Bird amd MJ or NYK and bad boys defense on MJ.

4:53 look at the bulls bench reaction from beef patty cuttin up cartwright bum ass and then dunking it. lmao classic!

This was a great, great series against a terrific Knicks team. Bulls win game 7 ... and go on to win it all.

Great game by Jordan and Ewing two all-time NBA Greats who had great battles dating back to college Jordan 31,6,3,3,1 and Ewing 34,16,5,6,1

NBA back then was pure scotch, but for the game tonight we have.............. milk.

This series was probably the hardest the Bulls ever had during the 6 championship run, including the finals.

That insane old school defense and Ewing was dominating! That is a superstar, being grabbed and thrown and pushed and dropping buckets, today's NBA you body up it's a foul.

Ewing has his own shoe. Everybody was buyin' them in my hood.

Talk about intense, all this action was only 12 and a half minutes

The NBA needs to go back on the 90s rules. Maybe we might get to see a game make the players earn their money

It's crazy how we overlook and label Ewing as failure because of no championship. Many people talk about him like he was a complete bust like a Kwame Brown or Greg Oden when he was the complete opposite. As an 11 time All-Star he literally had the entire package and everything that makes a great center/player. Scoring. Rebounding. Defense. Tough. Mean. Was able to bang downlow but also had a sweet touch from the mid range. Talk about underrated and underappreciated! As others have mentioned of course he didn't win an MVP award but from 90-94 he was the top center in the league and was always in the running as a top MVP candidate as he should've been. While every other superstar had decent help and a second scorer Ewing had himself. And while yes Jordan got the best of him it wasn't like it was completely lopsided and a total blowout. Many times it was the Knicks vs. Bulls in a decisive close game 7 so it wasn't a walk in the park for Jordan and the Bulls. Each and every one of those series was a dog fight. Championship or no championship Ewing deserves his flowers!

Good Defense,each other.

Ewing was a problem

Legit question. Wasn't 3:02 a travel?

i gotta say that was Real

God how I miss this era of basketball. Players today are so damn soft! Nobody plays defense anymore either. Look at playoff scores today 120-140….I mean really? Anyone even try anymore?

If you want to know how hard MJ had to work during the early 90s playoffs, just look at the sweat dripping down on free throws. It's surprising NY did not beat the Bulls more often. They had to perfect match up against them. Unfortunately, prime MJ was there to stop them.

It’s insane mj was able to put up these numbers. With today’s spacing and officiating I feel like he would average close to 40 for his career💯

7:37

j.stark that what and how jr would love any out might wear them who buy it.🚦

If MJ is not the GOAT NY would've won that series and if by any chance Ewing would've joined the BULLS i dont think they would've lost 1 game in the 90s....cause lets be honest here, the Bulls never had a good center!!!

I might be dumb but can someone explain why this isn’t a travel 3:00

shit i never liked Greg Anthony on the Knicks

Always a battle, can we just watch relpay games instead of watching the crap NBA now

Ewing had a good shooting touch, but his post moves are pretty robotic.

Using the jordan fanboy logic arguments of jordan losing in the 80s:"patrick ewing couldnt win because mj had better teams."

“Jordan is the beat defender in the nba” Yeah he can’t even guard Ewing, even magic but he’s the beat defender FOH
