96-97 was effectively the last stand for Patrick Ewing, he was still on the Knicks until 2000 but he just wasn't the same after that brutal wrist injury he suffered in December 1997.
@@annie20232They would have still lost in 6 games. The Bulls lost the last game of the regular season that year to them but didn’t have Rodman or Kukoc. Fully healthy, Bulls in 6
Ewing's last year as an all star calibur center. He was still decent & effective from 98-00, but he was never quite the same though. Houston & Spree became the leaders & faces of the team from 99-02/03. This was one of the Knicks best teams of the 90s that shoulda went to the ECF's that yearif it wasn't for that PJ Brown/Ward fight. I thought this series would go the full 5 games, cuz Charlotte took 3 out of 4 in the regular season, but was very surprised with the sweep.
What a mix of eras. Houston, Ewing, Rice, Buck Williams, Ricky Pierce, LJ. I liked this Knicks team. Sprewell was great but I always liked Starks. He was perfect as a 6th man.
Grandmama was truly a great player. Not just a fan favorite but a monster, strong as hell. They wouldn't be able to handle him today 🥶💯 one of my favorites. Definitely a hall of famer. To hell with that "no ring" shit
Love it man !My chill time after work-watching some classic basketball games. Probably people have asked you before,but did you record all those games by yourself back in the day?
Between 1997 and up and was a workaholic...too much responsibility in my youth for.years and I didn't have the opportunity to watch a lot of these game. Thanks for post! Do not post only # 2 o # 3 games..bring the whole serie
Ewing was dominated in the 1994 Finals by Olajuwon, who didn't have a top 75 player on his team either. Drexler didn't join the Rockets until 1995, if that's who you're thinking of. The Knicks did get to the Finals in 1999 when Ewing was an oft-injured role player.
Everybody needs help. It's a team game. Having a top 75 player guarantees you nothing. The problem for Ewing was, when his team lost, the best player on the court was on the other team. And it was often MJ.
I wouldn't say Hakeem dominated Patrick Ewing the way he did Robinson. It was close in the 94 finals. But John Starks was horrendous in game 7, and nobody else helped Ewing. In 94 Hakeems teamates made shots.
Patrick Ewing averaged 18.9 points, 12.4 rebounds and 4.3 blocks in 7 games in the 1994 NBA Finals. He was dominated by Olajuwon. In the crucial game 3 loss, Ewing took 29 shots and only made 9, while not even having a free throw attempt! And Starks was really good in Game 6, which was the Knicks best chance to win the Championship, while Ewing only shot 30 percent and didn't even get to 20 points. Let's face it, if Ewing stepped up his game in the Finals instead of bad shooting, New York would have won the Championship. Pat played below average for his level, while he needed to play like he did in Game 7 against the Pacers in 1994 ECF. (@@rooseveltdarbey9493
This was basketball 🏀 real nba basketball 🏀 fax I got 💯 that Dale curry 30 purple and blue and white road Charlotte hornets jersey its crispy 👌 as he'll to its a classic fire 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥
@@jmapps31 Almost everybody went with black kicks in the playoffs in the 90s. Black socks made it look more bad ass. I think the Bulls were first (in the NBA) to do it in '96.
Everything was more then in the nba the defenses really did defense. Look how crowded they are. Basketball was more correct. The tall players weren't just looking for the jumps. Even the broadcaster was Yotamatia ... much better. The US team in the last MongoBasket lost quickly and embarrassingly only because today's NBA is not like a carousel just a show of nothing
His last elite season was 98 , LJ averaged 21 ppg when Ewing went out with that shattered wrist , he also looked good in the early rounds of the 99 playoffs until the mcl tear in the ECF
The last time the Hornets were actually really good at basketball lol.. The Divac trade for Kobe hahahahahaha.. Probably the biggest blunder in sports history
Keep postin these 90s games. Some of us arent done with the 90s lol
👍 hopefully lots more to come Andrew!
Never 🤣
😂😂😂😂 "some of us aren't done with the 90s"... Very clever and I love it
I'll never be done with the 90s 😂 this channel is getting me through a rough time I love reliving my childhood through this channel.
Exactly!
Iconic NBA on NBC. Miss the 90s
Yup...it all went to shit after 9/11
96-97 was effectively the last stand for Patrick Ewing, he was still on the Knicks until 2000 but he just wasn't the same after that brutal wrist injury he suffered in December 1997.
Plus his achilles. Defo 96-97 his last decent season
Funny cause I thought he still outplayed zo in 99 lol. Patrick was a warrior
Andrew Lang was responsible for Ewing's wrist injury. Ironically they became teammates in New York
Every year after this was something epic to take Pat a notch down. '97 was the suspension, '98 was the wrist, and '99 was the Achilles.
the lockout also really hurt his carer in 98/99
I miss 90s NBA
Absolutely. The memories are strong.
🥲
this is so awesome bro....97 knicks were my favorite team so if you got more 97 knicks keep em coming
👍
93 & 97 Knicks were lethal
98 Knicks would've been lethal if Pat hadn't shattered his wrist
They should have won it all in 93. Damn you Charles Smith! All you had to do was dunk the ball!
@@annie20232 but on the same note 3 bulls players were D him up tho and Smith should have been aggressive
@@dreamcage1801 And the suspensions screwed the Knicks in 97. They could have been the team to dethrone the Bulls
@@annie20232They would have still lost in 6 games.
The Bulls lost the last game of the regular season that year to them but didn’t have Rodman or Kukoc.
Fully healthy, Bulls in 6
Tony Delk was a bucket. Man had a 50 point game off the bench.

The 97 Hornets won a franchise record 54 games and still couldn’t even get homecourt advantage (tied with DET, 2 back of ATL)
Which is insane. The lowest win total in the East playoffs that year was 44 by Washington.
But then they will fix their faces say the 90s didn’t have no competition SMFH
Expansion
Ewing had 30 on 15/21 beast mode
These videos are amazing. So much nostalgia. Keep it coming, brother!

Awesome! You are killing it with great uploads

Glen Rice and Allan Houston would be making 40+ million a year if they played today, certified bucket getters.
Always loved Ricky pierce. He looked like a 50 yr uncle ud have at a bbq but man was a ball player!!!

Love this!!! Any chance you can upload the entire opening through to the first commercial break?
👍 hopefully i might get to it, we'll see

These condensed games are perfect!

The best Knick teams of the Ewing era were 1992 & 1997.

This game is just a bunch of guys that used to play for the other team playing each other. It’s like a team scrimmage out there
Patrick Ewing is really the only player that can say he never had help. He didn't have another top 75 teammate.

He is a great commentator along with Kevin Harlan and Chick Hearn
Какая шикарная командная игра. Какая борьба. Какие руки Патрика.
The ‘90s knicks always had these solid well coached teams. But the east was as tough of a conference as it gets - Bulls, Pacers, and Magic.
The Arms Folded Series. Started with LJ, Chris Childs soon followed.
RIP Anthony mason
Ewing last great season.
Pats final year and end of Prime after the wrist injury his knees started giving him issues
@4:27 “dunk on his ass”🤣🤣
This is great, keep the 90's playoff games coming!! Anyone knows where you can find 90's rosters for nba 2k24 (ps4 version)?
👍
ABC/ESPN should just give up the NBA rights. Clearly their coverage will never be as good as it was on NBC
NBA is officially coming back to NBC and they’ll officially announce it after the playoffs
@CommonSense8421NBA is also walking away from TNT too
@CommonSense8421 i think NBC and ABC should share the finals every other year. Abc (odd years) and nbc (even years)
@CommonSense8421 after next season yeah
좋은 영상 감사합니다
👍
As a North Carolina native I never really knew how to feel about these purple alternate jerseys
LJ and Zo made them look good
Ricky perice 21 for the hornets was balling in this game and my boy Delk 0 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥
I still can't wrap my head around why Larry Johnson was traded from Charlotte to the Big Apple?
Because managements often make stupid decisions.😂 but they think that they are so clever.
@CommonSense8421 George Shinn was a terrible owner
Zo and LJ did not get along well if I remember this correctely.
@CommonSense8421 yeah I remember Zo and LJ wrestling and poor little Gundy grabbing Alonzo Mournings leg like a slow loris.😂

Call me crazy but I see a lot of Ewings game in Joel Embiid
Do Lakers-Blazers Game 2 which was the Last Game of the Triple-double that day. The Game was up Years Ago and RUclips took it down🤦🏿🤦🏿🤦🏿🤦🏿
hopefully will look into it Allen
@@MDBBall. Thanks 🙏🏿👍🏿
Anthony Mason at the 5:02 mark had the slowest crossover I've ever seen lol
Not really, it was a decent one for a big man
Ricky Pierce was the angriest looking man ever.
Full games please
I thought we went to the black socks in '97? Was it '99 then?
Why a lot of team went to black socks in 99? Even the 76ers

Back when the nba was the nba….nba today is soft
Decline od LJ started when he came to the Knicks. Slower and less athletic. Depleted by back problems.
Yes a lot say that the hornets got robbed after they traded away Larry Johnson
