Bro is it just my age or is 90s basketball just more entertaining??
Something about 90s NBA Glad MJ played in this era ❤️
Unless you're in to no-contact streetball, it is.
They definitely play better fundamentally; almost every possession is mistake-free, they don’t give up the possession with a low percentage shot/chuck and the other team gets the uncontested rebound like they do today. Less isolation plays back then which also makes it more entertaining
@@TerryT0114 there was a lot of play-on contact in that last Finals game that I’m sure of all of this thread did enjoy lol
It’s nostalgia
Man this used to be LIFE. Don't talk to me, do not call me, don't come in my room, I'll eat when the series is DONE.
Yes I liked to be by myself during these times lol
#FACTS
MANCHESTER UNITED F.C You come to every other sports video to say this. Let’s us enjoy our sports.
@MANCHESTER UNITED F.C Soccer is boring and gay.
No cap lol
I watched this game live. One of the best ever. One of the greatest calls by Marv Albert. Smith......Smith....Smith.......Stopped.....Smith, stopped again by Pippen. What a game. I remember that
David's Blessings woulda sold my soul to be at that game
What do you mean once the best ever
And the Madison Square Garden went dead
This is my favorite game ever.
Me too I was up screaming the. Went to the barn my hoop was atttached to n pretended to b mj
NOTHING beats the NBA on NBC opening theme!!!
I still get the chills every time I listen.. ever since 1994 for me. 😁👍
nba on tnt?
ABC sucks...NBC had that do or die intro 🔥🔥😎
That theme got me so hyped for the game!
Yes!!! You guys get it!!! 90’s childhood, nbc knew how to give ceremony to the most pure basketball era!!!
The trio of Jordan Grant and Pippen giving one of the best displays of reflex-defense I've ever seen!
i watched that game as a knick fan in ny ... heard my uncle in the kitchen cursing when they blocked charles smith again and again at the end
and "no" they didnt foul him thats the amazing part
This was basketball....man i miss these days.
yeah bro I love the days of weak athletes, no spacing, and crappy shooting. That was so much better than today's game!!!!!!!
U just miss being young, there's nothing special about this trash era
@@marquanmr Are you going to react on every single comment ,just because you don't agree?
@@konfan13 u damn right
@John blaze nah they was trash and couldn't score
Charles Smith still trying to make that basket to this day lmao
He was pissed after the game. Slamming the ball to the court.
He still managed to hustle down the court to slam the ball. Why ? HA HA. To this day Knick fans still blame & talk about him for that clumsy ball handling.
How about going up strong for a dunk? He was a soft player
For real. I was 11 yrs old and remembered it vividly hoping Jordan would lose so Barkley didn’t have to face him! Lol. Love Barkley but admire Black Jesus. Every since the 93s championship, I wanted be like Mike growing up
SMITH SMITH SMITH SMITH SMITH SMITH SMITH SMITH SMITH SMITH SMITH SMITH SMITH SMITH SMITH SMITH SMITH SMITH SMITH SMITH
That last defensive play by Pippen, Jordan n Grant just shows the passion of basketball 🔥
that was passion but it was also a bunch of fouls lol
And Pippen, Jordan, & Grant they Shows that This What NBA AND Basketball Supposed To Be.
@Efraín Jiménez no fouls. All blocks. Bulls win. Pippen never fouled Hubert Davis,yet that ignorant ref called Pip for a foul didn't he? Bulls got robbed.
@@efrain926 where was the foul in there? clean blocks by pip n grant n clean swipe by mj
@@ronsky1625 I was judging it by today's standards.
I miss those 90s Knicks. I lived and died with those teams. Starks, Ewing, Oakley....the passion and fight. There will never be anything like those guys ever again...
Yeah they were tough as nails and I honestly thought they were going to beat my Rockets in 94.
Except they never won. Couldn't even beat the Houston Rockets the year Jordan was retired. You had to feel for Patrick Ewing. Jordan's team always beat his, even in college
Mason was a beast!!
@@sukhastings4200 yeah, I really wished PAT E cud have gotten a chip . He was a really good player
@@sukhastings4200which proves they weren’t great.
They screaming "DEFENSE " the game didn't even start yet.
Gotta love the 90s
Man that’s a great point that word defined 90s era basketball... now they would b chanting flopping flopping flopping
That's what makes it good. The crowd are into it even from the outside of MSG
@@TheSands83 They be chanting three points three points cause teams today can actually where in the 90s they built houses with bricks. 😂😂😂
Renaldy Calixte mmmm... kind of funny in 99 they shot 35 percent from 3 ..in 2020 they shot 35 percent from 3.😂 and now they work on it relentlessly... in 98 they avg 3pt percentage was 34.6 ... so.... kinda destroyed your dumbass argument there😂 players rarely worked on it then.. but they were much better mid range shooters and post players defensive players and could take it to the basket and finish through contact... try again dummy...even Phil Jackson said it’s difficult to run any kind of complicated disciplined offense today because guys don’t have simple fundamentals like a reverse pivot wich u need to have to run the triangle.. now they just run high screen n roll n jack a 3.. but u see in playoffs especially deep in playoffs that shit doesn’t work n they resort to real basketball to win
Renaldy Calixte whats sad in 98 they didn’t focus on 3s n still shot 34.6 percent and today that’s all they do n shoot 35 percent with no defense on them.. 🤣 that’s honestly pathetic 1 percent with no defense and they focus on it😂 could u imagine in 98 if they focused on it? And played against this soft ass defense today... I mean I basically just destroyed your argument.. nice try though dummy.. not to mention players today are on avg shorter than they were in the 90s..
Still endures as one of the defining playoff games in NBA history....
The league was very tough in those days.
Players stayed with teams. Jordan and Pippen with the Bulls. Ewing with the Knicks. Hakeem with Houston. Duncan and Robinson w Spurs. Isiah and Laimbeer with Detroit. Doc w Philly. Magic and Kareem with LA. Bird and McHale w Boston. Etc.
Defense was so physical. You really earned every hoop.
Playoff games were routinely played in the 80’s. Or low 90’s. There was none of these crazy 145-133 games we see every night now in today’s NBA. Guys scoring 40,50,60 points routinely now.
The three wasn’t a big deal.
Now the three is the focus of basketball from middle school through the pros. You watch the games from the 90’s and open shots were rare. Just a different time.
It does and still breaks my heart
I don't see any plumbers or milkmen in Knicks unis. I think a lot of current guys would've gotten more than their feelings hurt if they had to play in this era with these rules.
Defensive hustles like this is why nba 90s was fun 😭
Iconic years of the NBA.
It sucks the NBA is never gonna be like this anymore.
Yep.They’ve ruined the game.
I emphasize with u.ur hero was playing teams that can’t even make free throws and shoot nothing but bricks from the perimeter
lol
It's starts with today's culture and mindset. People are soft as baby's shyt
Ok old man yelling at clouds@@sumandsubstance7881
This still brings a big smile to my face watching it 30 years later! I remember the bad feeling when we lost the first 2 games in New York and knowing it would be a tough series. Then we took a big first half lead in game 3 and never looked back in that one. We won game 4 comfortably, but knowing that we'd have to win at least 1 game in MSG just left a bad feeling. That's why this game 5 win was so big. Not only was it a very important game, it was won in one of the most dramatic ways ever. God, I remember I had Little League practice the next afternoon and all we were doing was talking the ending of this game...Great memory!
Mike fratello was incredible as the commentator on NBA on NBC.
He really was. The best crews for the NBA on NBC were Marv and Mike and then Marv/Goukas. Tom Hammonds and Steve "Snapper" Jones were also really good.
Thev Tsar hated the Bulls. He hated the fact neither his Atlanta or Cleveland teams could ever beat them
He has terrible memory. Don't remember events he was a part of as the Atlanta Hawks coach.
@@JoeFlow88 i like greg and snapper (my go to non-Bulls games to go to are the Suns-Rockets, Rockets-Sonics and Rockets Jazz from 94-97)....that said marv and Guokas are my favorite with Marv-Mike as runners up.
An underrated team was Snapper and dick enberg (they were on the WCF this year and called game 7 togethr when magic couldn't be the color commentator).
really it was hard to go wrong with the broadcast team on NBC games until 1998 when they half of them for a variety of reasons.
@@sukhastings4200 He seemed to like the Bulls just fine to me. He wasn't Isiah....Isiah was a hater.
NBA on NBC was the best
I think this is still my all-time favorite music theme, haha! For me it goes back to the 1992 NBA Finals.
@@smoothALOE Absolutely. The music, Bob Costas giving a story related to the game, it was truly a neat thing to hear.
Still is the best
When I hear that intro I get goosebumps
I Ku me too, I cry to be honest
What a fantastic finish. That last play wasn't setup, didn't come out of a timeout, Bulls just literally stole it from the Knicks. Crowd stunned. Amazing.
Pak RT The refs stole it too!
These are the games that I grew up loving. The battles between the Knicks and the bulls
Miss this golden era of hoops. Talent and tenacity unrivaled.
Naw u miss being young, this era was trash
If it was Bulls Jordan and not Knicks Smith in the New York last play pretty sure there would be a foul called with all that hacking against Smith.
@@marquanmr😲😲😲😲 ppl said it was best ERA EVER
Such a difference from todays game. Very few threes. Very tough inside play and hard defense. Every basket was big. Hard nosed players. Game was played from inside out.
The great Jordan. Starks have him all he wanted. Ewing a great warrior. Pippen. Oak tree. Mason. Ferocious players.
For me this was real basketball. Not the nightly
143-127 games we have now.
Nailed it 👏👏🍻
Huge Facts
I grew up idolizing Jordan and it all started for me when I watched this with my Dad.
Ryan Kirk I had a similar experience with this game but it was with my dad and my older cousins and my uncles. Their reactions to the end of the game was incredible and I was like 9 years old. That excitement about sports is what I miss about the NBA
Hitman8483 👍Absolutely
Jordan 14 assists in this game. Very underrated passer
FACTS!!!!! The one thing they act like he can't do, he does it very well.
Jordan was nearly flawless. The only thing offensively one can say was a bit of a flaw was his 3 pt shooting. Threes weren’t valued like they are now. If they were, he would’ve gotten much better. If you can say he was even underrated in an area, it was his defense, both one on one and help wise. There are a few who are close, like Lebron, but Jordan has been and for the foreseeable future will be the greatest of all time.
@@vincedidiana5781 his 3 pt shooting was not flawed...it was average for the time about 33% and went up in the playoffs to about 35%
To have the (very) odd 10+ assist game when you touch the ball on 80%+ of the possessions for your team is not an indication of a great passer. MJ was an okay passer, but inevitably his unwillingness to pass the ball is what renders him a below average play maker relative to NBA players in its history. You heard the telecasters, in order to get 10+ assists, MJ had to consciously have a predetermined mind set to pass WAY more often than normal to achieve at least 10 assists. That is not how a great passer operates. Watching this game, he may have made 1-2 very good passes (but not any better than your average point guard in today's league). The other assists were simple passes either out of necessity (ie. double teamed) or to teammates who were wide open (because the Knicks were clueless on the defensive end). I want to give a really good example. At about the 1:15 mark in the fourth quarter, Armstrong hits a wide open three. Why? A few reasons: Pippen sets a really rudimentary screen/pin down and the Knicks send help defense way too early. And then, at the 53 second mark, they run the same play on the opposite side and Armstrong gets another WIDE OPEN look. Do you think that defense is stopping any one, particularly in today's era?
The roots of the Knick's defensive woes rest in having a 6'3", 180 lbs Stark and a 6'4" 185 lbs Rivers guarding a 6'6" 200lbs MJ.
@@graememorissey3276 OK. So after all that, WTF are you even saying???? What high level passes are being made in today's game? It's not like we're seeing behind the back, no-look, between the leg, off the elbow assists today. No one does that. Jordan flat out was able to get the ball to players with misdirection. It wasn't always a "Wide-Open" player he gave a chest pass to. There are many examples of him looking off the defense, so he could one hand sling the ball to a Hoe Grant, Luke Longley or Bill Wennington on the block for a dunk. I believe his passing is seriously underrated. Solely because his scoring was so overpowering. But you can't say he's not a great playmaker when he knew how to manage situations. Double-teams, one on one, zone (yes, they did play zone back in the day it just wasn't called zone because it was illegal). He was able to read situations and find the best thing to do. Go look at his last shot in '98. He played Russell. MJ went right and blew right by him for a quick lay-up. The next play, after he stole the ball, he went right and pulled back for a jump shot. Guess what Russell did. He committed to MJ driving right, because he didn't the last time and got scored on. MJ knew he would overplay because of what happened and hit the game winner.
But I love how you automatically try and take away from MJ's passing ability and immediately go to "The Knicks didn't know what they were doing on defense.". LOL. It's amazing how quickly people throw out non-sense and think they proved a point. It's also non-sense that you mention the size of the guys that guarded MJ, as if he was never guarded by like-sized players. Starks and Rivers were both known for playing tough defense. To the point where people said they played bigger than their size would suggest. Either way, that's not on MJ that the Knicks had those guys. Guess what, size never stopped MJ form dunking on the BIG CENTERS while he was playing. Let's talk about that if you're bringing up smaller guys vs bigger guys.
I will always remember the name Charles Smith because of this game.
He wishes you would forget it. Cost him a promising NBA career
😂😂😂
LMAO!!!!! That was funny.... "I will always remember the name Charles Smith because of this game"
I remember this game like it was yesterday. Me in junior high, no cell phones, no social media, couldn’t wait to rub it in to my classmates how my team won. This was one of if not the absolute greatest game in NBA history. Two legendary teams and coaches giving it their all & leaving it all on the court. I’m so fortunate to have been a teenager in this era and see these games live! Absolute Hall of Fame/GOAT level competition the entire 60 minutes. Today’s players could never fathom this level of competitiveness.
Watching this live back in the days was CLASSIC. That Bulls Defense was special
The Knicks played the Bulls so tough. I was def rooting for them in this series. Still the best ending ever in a game 5, right up there with 0.4 in 2004
This is the GOAT game for me. This was my first season really following basketball hardcore and the Knicks scared me more than any team ever. The ending to this game was a miracle. I genuinely terrified the Bulls were going to lose this series. Somehow winning this game felt even more satisfying than winning the championship against the Suns.
If it was Bulls Jordan and not Knicks Smith in the New York last play pretty sure there would be a foul called with all that hacking against Smith.
Ronald paguiligan You’ve posted this multiple times. Smith was not fouled. Also the Knicks had the home court advantage so I don’t wanna hear it!
@@ronaldpaguiligan5421 The Knicks shot 35 FTs in this game to the Bulls' 23 (so clearly they were getting calls all game) and missed 15 of them, including multiple in the last few minutes. It's their own damn fault they were even in that situation. Not to mention the obvious, which is that there was no foul
@@SnapbackCaps9 man what I waa trying to say is that particular play if it was Michael Jordan sure there would be a foul called whether there was really not foul at all. No poiny in arguing. Let us agree to disagree or better disagree to agree.
@@djeanpierre yeah. Man what I was just trying to say is that particular play if it was Michael Jordan sure there would be a foul called whether there was really not foul at all. No poiny in arguing. Let us agree to disagree or better disagree to agree. Hear ot or not it is the fact. And i am big MJ fan.
Jordan and the Bulls just kept finding ways to win when it mattered most.Winning just became a habit after they won their first championship.It gave them so much confidence and belief because they had finally reached the top of the NBA tree.They knew they were better than everyone else when they were at their best, and always pulled out the big plays when it mattered most.The greatest team I've ever seen play.
The end sequence will haunt the Knicks fan forever.
The curse begins

Back in the day the Bulls vs Knicks was always fun. I miss those matchups.
1990's, Bulls vs Knicks, Marv Albert commentating = you cannot beat that! One of the best playoff games these two teams played in, incredible defensive sequence at the end, mistime that and the Knicks lead 3-2 in the series.

Pcorf Creations A lot of fouls at the end too!
On NBC nobody beats that.
NBC did such a great job producing these NBA games in the 90’s! Wow
Marv Albert - The GOAT NBA Commentator.
Pip was a king!!!
It makes me very sad, that Mike and Pip dont along anymore... They were my favorite team ever in any sport! They were the first team I cheered for in my life!
I kind of bandwagoned at the age of 10 in 1995, but I am thankful to have witnessed the last dance! (Way before the "Last Dance" from Netflix)
My favorite player was Dennis Rodman, because I played Basketball in school, too. And he was PF, just like me!
The whole 96 team should meet, eat and shake hands in memory of what they have accomplished!!!
Man Scottie Pippen was dominant in this series. Just flat out dominant with Michael Jordan's shooting coming and going because of his bad wrist injury he sustained in the regular season
Tashrif Alam was that the Rodman tackle in Detroit?
@@Hitman8483 yes
@@Hitman8483 It didn't help, but MJ hurt the wrist earlier in the year. The tackle in the Detroit didn't happen until later in the regular season.
I believe Scottie was dominant because X-Man was in Boston. Last year in the 92 playoffs, X-Man gave him nightmares. If Pippen ever had a player that gave him trouble, it was Xavier McDaniel.
Scottie was legitimately the best player on the court this series. There are very few series where Pippen was better than MJ but this is one of them.
I've been watching basketball since the late 80s, and I can't think of a more iconic defensive stand at the end of any game. Sheer will.
This game is a classic! One for the ages
30 Years Ago 😲😳 I'm getting Old 🗝️🗝️🗝️
Golden age of basketball
one of the most attractive basketball games of all time !!!
damn the crucial tight D's of Grant,MJ, and Pippen on smith in dying seconds to seal the win for the bulls is spectacular. and the commentators tandem of mike pratello and marv albert is very good.
Game 5 loss was the series killer for the knicks😢….unbelievable…watching this game felt like going back in time to 1993 when was 11 years old
This was it.. No way a gm 7 back in NY was happening.
Marv Albert with the call: Ewing for Smith. Smith. Stripped. Smith. Stopped. Smith - stopped again by Pippen! What a play by Scottie Pippen! (feint boos from the crowd)...Final seconds. Jordan for Armstrong (buzzer sounds as Armstrong's layup goes in). And the Bulls have defeated the Knicks!! The Chicago Bulls with a couple of spectacular plays. Scottie Pippen stopping Charles Smith. And the Bulls win it - that last basket will count. The Bulls 97 the Knicks 94!
My all-time favorite Bulls game.
This game was awesome it's a time machine game so welldone.
Intense game! Back and forth, from start to finish. The defense at the end, wow! I can only imagine what it would’ve been like to be present at this game in MSG.
The Garden is supposed to always sound like this!
42:58. Pippens dunk on Starks.
The NBA days when players had the same shoes together. Black or white shoes.
I'm almost as anxious as when I watched this back in 93 as a bulls fan excitement again in 2018 ha great game back when the NBA was the shiznit
As a Knick fan it seems like an eternity ago. This was when the NBA didn't suck.
Yeah these games were nail biters
That overhead shot of the garden still gives me chills
me too - even the few seconds of the shots of the yellow cabs going past. “THE headline attraction on Broadway”😊
1 of my favorite Bulls games ever
Nothin like that garden crowd the drum bass tho insane
Epic. Lived and died a hundred times in this game.
Me too. I watch this game live. As a bulls fan this was THE MOST intense/emotional game I've ever saw still to this day. That last play, I literally jumped up and ranned outta the house and down the street with my fist in the air screaming. Maaaaan!!! Lol
I'm 49 now & I'm still all tensed in the moment....like I've never seen/ lived this before 🤣
I remember my boss calling me at home asking why I left early? I told him I quit because it's game 5 of the Knicks, Bulls ECF and I ain't missing this for nobody...I was so irresponsible back then,thank G-d my wife found and saved me!
I missed the 90ssssss omg
This is the loudest I have ever heard the garden. Even louder than game 7 vs the pacers. This was such a pivotal game. Game 5 always is when of course you are tied. B4 the lineups d fense ! Chants. That crowd was hyped!!
Peak years but unfortunate that there was no chip for ny. One of the best games of the best era
@@HeathOverledger I watched that Houston series & the Knicks literally should have taken game 1 & game 5 in ny. They were winning in both those games but in the 4th they just let the rockets hang around. They did not have that step on the neck killer instinct. Like riley said of Isiah " once he has u he will just stab u in the heart & end the game to win " game 6 starks almost won by himself he hit like 5 shots in a row down the stretch he had 7 , 3's in the game & if dream didn't tip that last shot it was going in. Game 7 he utterly collapsed. I wish we could have switched his game 7 w/ game 6 b/c the Knicks were up going into the 4th. I knew in my heart that was our best shot at a ring. I was a kid so I remember not going to school the next day & being down for awhile. My dad my uncles my cousins all watched every game together & we talked about going to the Knicks parade we were so excited.
@@natalieps2387 been meaning to watch the entire series, tough as it is to see one of my fav Knick squads come up that short. You’re absolutely right, that series was theirs for the taking and missed many opportunities to close Houston out. Houston simply executed better down the stretch when it counted. Same in this series, I’m sure ever Knick fan alive at that moment wanted to freeze frame time after Game 2 😂😂 and not go through the hell of games 3-6 and Charles Smith...well you know
Classic, This game left me on the floor, a few tears
Oh man..when the NBA ruled. Smith never should have been on the floor in the final minutes with Oakley on the bench. Whoops.
What’s so insane about this game is all the subplots before/during (Bulls going for the 3peat, Knicks winning 26 (6 in a row vs the Bulls) in a row at home, the “Atlantic City incident” still lingering; all aside that final sequence is simply one of the best I’ve ever seen, even leading up to it when Doc Rivers knees MJ in the gut, MJ reacts by scoring the next 17 for Chicago...until BJs buzzer beating layup. I think the only thing that can be replicated from this era, even surpassing this game and series is intensity of the Garden crowd. Otherwise it’s difficult to say that today hoops will ever match this level of in court intensity, internal/external toughness, theatrics for a match with two great rivals
Can you imagine Lebron pulling an all night casino bender after falling down 0-2 in the playoffs? Jordan got such a free pass and still does to this day. Can’t hold the jock strap of Russell kareem Lebron magic bird or wilt.
@@prince21781 different era he got flack for it and responded just like any of those other legends you mentioned
That intro though!
That Bill Cartwright jumper is still god awful!!!
Lol but it was effective 😂
I have to disagree I always thought cartwrights shooting form was prettier than Jordans
Maybe, but his good defense against Patrick was sorely needed - the Bulls had enough offensive power w/o Cartwright.
This intro is rare for NBA on NBC!
im still crying in 2019
Wow man the game was so pure back then. No ads every where you look on the court, refs not calling ticky tack fouls, etc.
Jordan owning the Knicks as usual
@15:32 Jordan is called for travelling and everyone in the building immidiately starts looking for evidence that hell has frozen over.
Insane times.... Got to love them.... When this was on you was watching it... You was indoors. LOL
The defense though! Each team only scored 17 points in the 4th quarter.
Orlando Magic 107 @ New York Knicks 109 OT (03-08-1993) Ewing 37 Points
Great, and I mean great old fashion defense by the Bulls on that last sequence. Look at how Grant flashes across the lane, realizing he doesn’t have the angle, and then angles his body as to not make contact with Smith. Then Pippen sniping to the rear, using his long reach to block. And Jordan, we’ll he was simply Jordan.
The Bulls defense was lethal during the Jordan 90s teams. MJ and Pippen were routinely all NBA defenders, Grant was pretty good and even Cartwright gave opposition centers fits
Architect of those great Bulls defenses was the great Johnny Bach. Revered by many NBA aficionados.
Those are probably shots that Smith, to this day, still thinks about and wishes he could try one more time. Kind of like Scott Norwood, or Donnie Moore, or the 1986 Red Sox (not just Buckner). It would be cool to be a pro athlete in a major game like this but man, the pressure and second-guessing if you make one mistake that costs you the change for a major championship? I don't think I could handle that. Kudos to these guys for being able to do so.
If it was Bulls Jordan and not Knicks Smith in the New York last play pretty sure there would be a foul called with all that hacking against Smith.
The only way basketball is meant to be played. Miss these days. The opening theme is EPIC. ! Nothing will ever come close to the beautiful entertainment we all received from true and the most passionate NBA Playera of All Time. 2nd To No One.!!
Damn I had forgotten about Tucker with the Bulls 🤔
The Smith Game
Michael Jordan 9-Time All-Star for the Chicago Bulls
Back when NBA basketball was must see! I'm fortunate to have been born for this era! MJ is 🐐!
Memories I was in the sixth grade when the Knicks played the bulls what an ending to this game
The Bulls FO and coaching staff new how to build a team back in the 90's. Most of these "super teams" today are stupidly built. You don't need a bunch of all stars or a bunch of scorers on your team in order to win. You need one or two great players and a bunch of good role players who know their role and play it well. Grant, Cartwright, Armstrong, Paxon, etc. were all necessary to help the Bulls win those championships.
William Koscielniak I was gonna like your comment but I’ll let it stay at 6 lol
it was so much more physical and intense back then. these days if 2 guys get anywhere near each other - its a foul. there would have been 30 fouls called in that last minute.
Not at the end of games
Bro I saw a fuckin foul called every 20 seconds in that last quarter. The only difference between this shit and today's game, is that the guys today actually space the floor and don't shoot like shit.
If it was Bulls Jordan and not Knicks Smith in the New York last play pretty sure there would be a foul called with all that hacking against Smith.
@Alfredo Duro lol and why do you think they don't post up? Because there's no illegal defense rule anymore, so now anytime you post up you'll have multiple guys putting pressure on you. You oldies love to claim you watched basketball in the "good ol' days" but somehow conveniently forget rule changes that massively affect how the game is played. But anything to protect Jordan I guess 🤷♂️
@Alfredo Duro buddy, posting up was a lot more prevalent back then because defenders were LEGALLY binded to their man regardless of whether or not they could shoot. That's why if you just cleared out away from the man posting up, he'd have a 1v1 unless the defense brought a double team which would mean leaving a man wide open. Today, defenders can cheat or even defend someone trying to post up before he has the ball. Face it, the league implemented illegal defense to promote motion-based offenses and reduce isolation-based offense which reduced superstar scoring, but the best way to combat this is shooting 3s.
Watch at 8:24
ruclips.net/video/Lhu1MMtaMz0/видео.html
A couple of key observations: First, Scottie Pippen was an absolute BOSS in this game, just overwhelming in the matchup against Charles Smith. Second, Anthony Mason, may he rest in power, never gets the credit he deserves for being one of the great sixth men in history, up there with Bobby Jones, John Havlicek, and Michael Cooper. Just a tremendously versatile multi-role forward, who could shoot, handle the ball well against pressure, and be a formidable physical presence on defense. Third, the MSG crowd was on fire this game, epically and brilliantly intertwined with the on-court action.
For the New York fans that are still agonizing over the way this game ended, be mindful that Starks totally travels where Marv Albert says "Starks...changed his mind". The refs didn't make the call. It should have never even got to Ewing sloppily dribbling and falling over and being lucky enough to get the pass to Smith - and we all know the rest from there. After Smith was stripped, he was too far under the basket to get the shot up without it being blocked. Nonetheless, what an ending to a basketball game!
Really great catch! Thank you! One thing... Smith didn't get the shot blocked after he got it stripped... instead, he went up straight into the backboard first! Didn't get blocked until later.
Yes he did... should've shot it or drove then lob to pat
@pwnedd11 Oh, man...great catch on your end as well. Smith was just too far under the basket. That whole sequence was doomed for failure the second Starks changed his mind.
@@mauricetucker5996 Thank you! And yeah, I agree!!!
El final histórico y emocionante, pobre del 54 Smith, le dio tanta rabia y tristeza perder tan emocionante partido.
😢después de este juego, los Knicks nunca más se recuperaron..2 días después los bulls ganaron la serie en Chicago en ruta a la Final de la NBA en su 3er año en línea

This will always be the Charles Smith memorial game to me
If it was Bulls Jordan and not Knicks Smith in the New York last play pretty sure there would be a foul called with all that hacking against Smith.
Charles Smith also missed a wide open jumper
@@alexistorres2425 miss 6freethrows to make 4of them no ending for him
1:15:20 - 1:15:25. ouch... bulls may have won the game anyway, but that's a tough, tough call
Nba on NBC was good times for me. Bulls fan here. Bring back nba on NBC
I was there got home cried like a baby . Crushing defeat . I really thought that year my Knicks would knock off bulls and eventually go on to win the title .
It's easy now to look back and laugh at the 90's Knicks because they acted like complete jackasses, never ran out of stupid things to say, were prone to embarrassing haircuts and choked spectacularly every time they got anywhere near a ring but you have to give them their due - they definitely played pretty good defense most of the time.
In fairness, the Bulls were a cocky squad. But yea, Mason, Greg Anthony and Starks were all clowns.
What in the world are you talking about? In what world would anybody laugh at the 1990's Knicks? To begin with, if you go back to 1992, they beat the Pistons in 5, then took the Bulls to 7 after the hyper-physical series with the Pistons -- and Ewing was dealing with injury -- and the refs were really really really bad in game 7 of 1992 and gave the Bulls 10 free points (by constantly kicking the guy guarding Jordan out of the game via foul trouble and forcing Starks to come in). With a healthy Ewing and fairer refs, they would have won it all in 1992. And then in this series, this game was actually refereed somewhat evenly, but if you watch video from the previous game... yikes. Not the best. And imagine if in this game, a couple of plays went slightly differently. That's not "choking." That's pure random dumb luck.
So, in reality, in 1992 and 1993, the real finals were between the Bulls and the Knicks, and the Knicks were unlucky at best (and were truly the better all-around team). Then in 1994, they had to be pretty wiped from the previous two seasons, and they had to face the Bulls again (sans Jordan, but just as deadly), beat the Pacers, and then face a fresher and younger Rockets squad in the finals. The odds and fatigue were stacked against them, but they still took it to game 7.
Then they had to rebuild and weren't legit contenders until 1997 (or 1998), and a fight resulted in suspensions that took them out of the contest.
If you want to call them unlucky and victims of a league set against them... ok.
But to call them chokers is foolish. And if you think that their haircuts are dumb, then you clearly didn't live in the 1990's.
haha horace with a block jordan with a strip pippen with two blocks after wow go bulls man
I’m saying , that’s very difficult to do , last seconds also , that was crazy ,

You forgot to mention all the fouls too on the play!
That last sequence was one of the most overlooked aspects of the 90’s Bulls dynasty: Defense. Charles Smith trying to make a layup against 2 of the greatest defenders in NBA history in MJ and Scottie. And the 3rd guy, Horace Grant, was one of the most underrated defenders and rebounders of his era. Tough basket for most any player to make, but that should have been Ewing taking the shot if he didn’t stumble.

Very odd watching an NBA game where players aren't covered in tattoos.
Dang thats true. 🤔
Not a player with tattoos.
Now every player has tattoos.

rashid Allera 1:08:32 so tough

@@MrSlashblade like LeBron and harden?
Even as a native Chicagoan, Bulls/Knicks was a different breed of hatred.
Omg! This was everything that the nba wish it could be once again!
What a battle
