@RR48320 Or made sure you had that decent TV antenna to see the NBA on NBC til that cable bill was paid lol,The theme Is Epic and Legendary,🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Would get you fired up for a game even if was a "Non playoff game" in Mid January 😂😂😅😅
Imagine the Knicks with Anthony Mason/Charles Oakley, Pistons with Lambeer/Rick Mahorn playing the fraidy cats of today ? They'd be cryin'. Come get me mom.
Xavier McDaniel himself would clear out a bar of today's NBA players. Wouldn't even need Oakley. They were big, strong with the attitude to go with it.
@@colbynichols250wow, nice catch both of you, didn't even notice the hulkster and didn't even focus on the face of the guy in a t shirt. It really is Bischoff, now this game is beyond legendary 😂😂
Thanks all for down loading these 80', 90's games !!!@ if get a chance I just watched 94 rockets vs. Knicks. There was a potential rebound and I think 6/7 players went at it tooth and nail. Now that's intensity and defense!!! Hakeem going against Ewing. Too bad Knicks didn't win a championship - Ewing was a defensive monster and could score as well.
this would have been the most competitive year the knicks would have given the bulls during the 90s but were robbed by the heat in the playoffs during the suspensions. Ewing was still prime before his wrist injury the following season. LJ and Houston were fresh. And they would still have veteran toughness from a steady Oakley and Starks. Lastly i think people forget they had Buck Williams coming off the bench which was a strong front court backup.
Not sure if I can back the claim of "most potentially competitive 90's Bulls/Knicks matchup" when 1) the 1992 ECSF series went the full 7 games (1 of only 2 Bulls playoffs series during the 6 title years to go the distance) and 2) the 1993 ECF had the Knicks go up 2-0, before the Bulls stormed back to take the last 4, with games 4, 5, & 6 being ultra-competitive (highlighted by perhaps Michael's most clutch offensive playoff performance in Game 4, and the Bulls pulling a rabbit out of the hat in Game 5, with BJ Armstrong's clutch 3, and the repeated stops of Charles Smith at the rim).
Having said that, I do agree that we were robbed of a CHI/NYK ECF matchup in 1997 that would have been much more competitive than the one against Miami.
Nah 1993 was the year they let it get away, that was their best chance. Their best team vs arguably the weakest of the 6 Bulls title teams, up 2-0 with home court advantage and couldn't finish the job
I lived on the east coast. But we got WGN channel 9. So all the Bulls,Blackhawks,Cubs,Whitesox games! Plus half the Bulls games were nationally televised anyhow!
this woulda been anotha Knicks-Bulls ECF classic that year. I think the Bulls woulda won in 6 or 7, but woulda been a fight just like the previous Knicks-Bulls playoff wars. Miami was not ready for that stage and it showed in their performance smh. Miami was a very good team, but def not ready the ECF that year. I think this was Ewing's last year as an all-star caliber center. After that wrist injury, he was never the same
No he wasn’t the same after January 1998. But he was a fantastic second scoring option to Houston and Sprewell and still a great rim protector, making magic happen in that 99 run.
I miss those days as a young boy Sundays on The NBC music, the starting lineup intro, That Garden Music through out the game loud, Great Voice of Marv, this used to send chills of excitement. Gotta be no younger than 35 too remember.
When times I heard that sound NBC live, in the late 90's where we have a cable tv im so excited. When Bulls vs Nicks. Rockets and Nicks it's so great.. thanks NBC I miss it..🎉🎉
Patrick had a bunch of game-winners this season. His last great season, as an all-star. He was still dunking on Mourning.😂 Went down swinging with a 37-point double-double in that game 7 in Miami with the depleted roster thanks to Thorn’s Bulls-protecting suspensions.
What a beast Patrick was. I know he had the bad knees but still moved well in this season. I wish coulda had the chance to see the Bulls and the Knicks one more time in 97 for that ECF
NBA today is only 50% of NBA from 80s and 90s. Jordan and Bulls vs Rest of the world, and full emotions were guaranteed : ] Before each match, everyone asked themselves what Rodman would do, how many players he would provoke, how many interceptions Pippen would make, how many beautiful actions Jordan would make, etc. : ]
Old Patrick could barely move, being a liability on defense. Still, his superstar class and clutch play, with that fine jump shot and great post moves…driving the Knicks over Jordan and the Bulls
This game was played during the 1997 Holy Week. Back then I was more fixated towards the local basketball league here in my country. In fact my favorite local professional basketball team won the championship two months later, their 5th championship before the Bulls won their 5th as well in June of 1997.
This was the most entertaining one. All 4 games played tight and passionate, decided by 1-4 points, with great offense and defense. Jordan goes off for 51 in the opening match, Ewing gets even with this game winner. Pippen goes off in the third game in response to LJ talking trash, then in game 4 the Knicks get their first win in the United Center, denying the Bulls a 70th win and record-tying 40-1 home record, as well as holding Jordan under 30ppg on the year. It was magical and the most competitive the Knicks had ever been to the Bulls. No wonder the league office had to cook up those suspensions in the Heat series to assure the Bulls are in the Finals.
@@UpTheDown7 I watched it again and saw a muscular left bicep next to Bischoff on a person also wearing an nWo shirt. You're right, that has to be Hogan.
Subtle things about Michael Jordan that maybe some don’t notice…. Micheal Jordan always takes good high percentage shots and always has his body lined up and square to the basket #2 His wisdom…. He doesn’t turn the ball over and doesn’t beat himself #3 he has no weaknesses.. he can shoot, play defense, make free throws, high stakes and we’ve seen Jordan close out preseason games, regular season games, post season games and finals games and the moment never gets to big for him
Hulk Hogan and Michael Jordan in the same building the only time both icons, don’t really expect John Cena and LeBron James in the same building anytime soon.
Big boy basketball. When every shot made wasn't celebrated as if they just made buzzer beaters. Guys on the bench were actually sitting down, not standing, acting like a bunch of kids.
