NBA Greatest Duels: Charles Barkley vs Patrick Ewing (1990)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 31 июл 2014
- One of the greatest NBA regular season games ever. Charles Barkley and Patrick Ewing with a fantastic duel in MSG. A lot of trash talking, hard fouls, great dunks, great defense (Mark Jackson block on Charles Barkley is something to see) and even better offense; 90's basketball at its best.
Charles Barkley: 39 points, 15 rebounds (11 offensive), 3 assists, 12/23 FG.
Patrick Ewing: 37 points, 19 rebounds, 9 blocks, 17/24 FG.
In the first quarter, Ewing was twice knocked to the floor by the Sixers' Charles Barkley, and with 7:18 remaining in the period, Barkley was assessed a technical and injured Knick Charles Oakley was ejected after coming out on the floor during a brief Ewing-Barkley fight.
"I thought he (Ewing) cheap-shotted me a couple of times," Barkley said. ''I'm not going to let anyone do that to me."
In that same period, a fan in an end-court seat harassed Barkley to a point where Barkley tossed some liquid in the fan's direction.
And then Barkley reminded everyone that the Knicks were, in fact, still in third place.
"Don't make them out to be champions," he said. "We don't have to worry about facing them again, because if you know anything about sports, you know they won't get by Boston in the first round (of the playoffs)." (Knicks won the first round playoff series 3-2 after being down 2-0 against Boston and then lost to the eventual champions Pistons 4-1)
Knicks won this phenomenal game 114:104.

Ewing and Barkley, two players who would absolutely dominate today's game.
Willie Gordon nahh they wouldn’t
@Willie Gordon HE FLOPPED!!!
@Willie Gordon are you dumb or blind? He TRIPPED over a players foot
He tripped over the white guys foot
Ewing would be like Embid but better
Ewing usually gets lost in the conversation of great centers, but he truly was a great center. I appreciate his game even more now as an adult.
He lost alot of speed and mobility after a handful of years and I rmbr how he used to kill robinson his first 3 yrs but then those knees and Robinson took advantage.
Ewing displaying his whole repertoir of moves here, fantastic. A lot of people only remember the Ewing from the mid to late 90s, when he was slowed down by injuries and age. But at his prime, late 80s, early 90s, he was a monster. He had power, speed, quickness, hops, and great skill.
And that Barkley, what a freak of nature. He was awesome.
Another great upload, Larry. Thanks a lot.
saturndual32 , These guys were both titans. Ewing played with bad knees his whole career though. 89-91 was his peak. He had to rely increasingly on his fadeaway after that. Barkley started having back problems just a couple years after this.
You are so on point my friend. Ppl forget that both Ewing and Hakeem were already in the league near 10 yrs when Shaq came in the NBA.
When I had a cable subscription which included MSG Network, these games were electric! Believe it or not, MSG was at best packed at 50% or up to 75% capacity prior to Ewing playing for the Knicks. MSG started to go crazy with packed crowds once HC Rick Pitino orchestrated some excitement at the Garden. It's too bad Ewing didn't have that consistent 2nd guy at his side during his prime years. I revered early to mid-nineties Patrick. But late 1980's Patrick was super exciting at the MSG. The crowd started going nuts inside that building. Good memories.
Fans also must appreciate the 1980's version of Charles Barkley. He was insanely electric too. Those Knicks vs Sixers rivalries were off the chain. It's also too bad that Barkley's Sixers days also had bad luck. Andrew Toney ended his career sooner than predicted with a foot injury. The leadership of the Sixers was officially gone once Dr. J retired. No one, not even Sir Charles was able to fill that void. In all fairness, Sixers management did not help Barkley at all with good players
Ewing was a monster, but Barkley was next level.
Barkley was so good that year...should have been MVP.
This was the first NBA game I ever attended. My father was a big Knicks fan. I became a 76ers after seeing Barkley knock down Ewing. Sadly my father was murdered a month later. I was only 5 at the time. So this is one of the few memories that I have of spending time with my father.
MrUndecidedVoter Wow dude sorry about your dad, bittersweet memory.
@@cflo1386 SORRY FOR WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU FATHER
My condolences man
That Wilkins dunk at 8:02 was slick as hell
+heisnotaxel whoa!!!
Chuck was real stud in his prime. Damn. Sooo strong and quick. Best overall PF in peak IMO.
@Mark Grace Barkley averaged more points per game more rebounds per game and more steals per game tho
@Mark Grace Not saying Barkley better. Just stating facts that Barkley was a better rebounder and scorer. Overall I put Timmy over Sir Charles.
If i had to chose one of them for one season at the height of their prime. Id prolly chose Chuck. Depending on who my other players were.
These old games almost bring a tear to my eye. I used to watch every single play and I didn't get up until commercials. These guys wanted to play AGAINST the best and beat the best. Now, these new guys want to play with each other. Now, I have the games on, but don't watch it as intensely as I used to. You can't touch each other and with all of the flopping has severely watered down the game.
I think the lack of player development is more to blame than a handful of stars who want to play together.
8:02 Underrated Dunk by Wilkins.
it really is. first time ive actually seen it....very underrated.
shit yeh haven't seen that one
This is the NBA I used to love...
Ewing put on another clinic in this game. I miss him playing.
Barkley, my favorite player of all time 💪
always been impressed by Chuck's vision, especially in the paint, and knocking down those minimalistic threes from time to time)
not to mention the sheer strength and both physical and mental ability to overpower his opponents
great speed and technical movement(-s) from Ewing here as well, hard to stop and one can see that clearly)
thanks for the video! Cheers, from Ukraine :)
80s and 90s eras were the best in NBA history.
Barkley was clearly a top Player who never had a great supporting cast in his prime.
Chuck was the biggest 6'5 you've ever seen
I would love to see Ewing, Hakeem, Robinson, Shaq, Barkley in the league today. Wow
ewing took a dive!
Very entertaining game I bet! Great share/post LL.
that Wilkins dunk
Barkley was the 1st Lebron. People dont realize how good Barkley was handling the ball on the fast break and finishing. Chuck Daly once told Barkley he was the 2nd best player he ever saw. Barkley asked him who was the 1st as a joke. Of course Jordan was, but barkley would have the same impact on a game as Jordan on many nights.
Barkley would have easily won a few rings during his prime if he didn't play against the G.O.A.T. People bringing up he has zero rings forget that Jordan stopped many great players from getting a ring. If Barkley came the year before he got drafted he would have a ring. If he played in the 2000's he would've had a ring. The 80's you had the Lakers, Celtics and the Pistons dominating and most part of 90's the bulls were dominating... so Barkley was in his prime fighting better teams with HOF players when Barkley didn't play with no HOF players.
@Willie Gordon you're CLEARLY on drugs.....first off Jordan's job isnt to rebound,secondly...Barkley a better defender than Jordan? Llllmfao!!!
@Willie Gordon Barkley was a defensive liability for most of his career. In fairness, most of that was a tradeoff from being undersized, giving both him and his man extra offense. Rebounding, dude was an all-timer.
@@TTFMjock but he would go against their best centers, guards, and forwards in the same game. He didn’t want to wear out his offense playing them but once he could lock them down, nobody got a basket. Best transition player.
What? Barkley was power forward .
THIS is NBA ball!
Seeing Derek Smith’s jumping ability was sad when a few years ago, those jump shots were thunder dunks.
it really pisses me off how Ewing doesn't have a ring. Hopefully he can get one as a coach, We all know he deserves one.
If Michael Jordan had played in a different league or era, Ewing probably would have had at least one championship, maybe two.
sldl04 He had other obstacles, too. Hakeem, Reggie, Robinson, & Duncan were roadblocks.
Rich Homie , Ewing played on bad knees his entire career, and never had what I would consider a strong team. His peak was 89-90. After that he increasingly relied on his fadeaway because he couldn't elevate as good.
@@Undecided0 Duncan was not in the league during Ewings prime.
@@Undecided0Patrick only lost to Reggie when he was hurt. 95 (bad hamstring and half), 98 (coming back from wrist surgery) and 2000 (37 year old pains).
Damn, I remember that dunk by Gerald Wilkins at 8:02. One of the best in-game dunks I've ever seen.
I completely agree! Pretty nasty!
That haircut Walker......even for that time thats too much lol
Together Barkley and Ewing would have had more titles than Pipen and Jordan
Doubt that
Nope.
It's remarkable how this two members of the dreamteam where able to play consistent games. Ewing had for sure tipical center skills S.O'neal had never dream off... It's kind of a joke the compararisons between the two. Tô o much about the ring... Pat did't make it.
This takes me back.*
8:00
the 80's and 90's NBA were the best...
I love how these young kids try to judge Barkley as an athlete based on his performance as a commentator on TNT. They wouldn't have an answer for him today. It doesn't matter if he has a ring or not either. Look who he was playing then! Look how many more teams there are now and how many really good players are going to come away with no ring because the talent is spread so thin.
New teams? The Sonics moved to Oklahoma, and they added Charlotte and Orlando. During Barkley's career.
prime of ewing .. was a beast ..
Ewing shoves Barkley and barely moved him... Barkley gently touched Ewing and he flies to the floor lol
No Ewing moved him and Barkley isnt a gentle toucher and he most likely stepped someone's foot. Lol i/diot
A Scott Brooks siting for all who didn't believe in was in the Association.
that wilkins dunk....
Wow. It's crazy seeing Ewing dunk ON someone. Barkley got caught under the rim at the 4:42 mark.
He dunked ON like the whole Sixer team.
Patrick got them legs.
Wish there was more post play in the modern day nba than what we have now. Post play especially for centers pretty much non existent
Yep, all 10 players within 10' of the basket, bricking contested shots. Kind of basic wasn't it?
damn 8:01
funny that mahorn would step in telling ewing to calm down, if that happen to him he'd lose his mind
Dam
Barkley's strong, but yeah, Ewing fell down like a house of cards. I replayed it several times and wondered if he had tripped over Gminski, but that didn't happen. Embarrassing ... lol.
It looked to me like Barkley stepped on his foot.
Now that makes sense. Good catch, missed that. Still embarrassing for Ewing.
Cassius71 , I think Dawkins inadvertently tripped him. Ewing lost his footing after being fine initially.
@@FlipTrojan tripping on someone's foot isnt embarrassing ding dong
Basketball was physical back then
Who won the game?
Mahorn and Gminski looked to small/weak to guard Patrick. Still remember when Barkley played for Pheonix and Coach Westphal said, there are 3 people who shoot the 3(Majerle, Ainge, Barlkley) and 2 of them we're happy when they shoot the 3. Lol
Mahorn small? Thats comical
@@nonamewillbegiven9989Did you watch the video at all? No one on the Sixers stood a chance. G-Force is White and from Duke and Mahorn cannot guard centers. Lol
@@shinrips oh you're a troll. Foh
@@nonamewillbegiven9989 Ditto
@@shinrips indeed troll
8:02 just like his brother
who won ?
Knicks won 114:104.
Nice flip Ewing and then a fake tough act followed.
So much of this contact are fouls in todays game :(
clarence Clementine!!!??????? lmao
look at ewing flop at 1:20 as if
at 1:55 watch the flop i slomo it hilarious !!! WTF !!!
kitrik23 , I think Dawkins might have accidentally tripped him. Ewing was standing fine after the push and then lost his footing.
@@kitrik23 not a flop
hshhsnnzznz Chuck push Ewing down lol LET EM FIGHT!
damn! how could ewing fall down like that? barkley didn't push him that hard.
maybe he tripped
Ante Radić he didn't trip over anything. yeah, there were players behind him, but he didn't trip.
then it was good lebron james style flop ;)
Ante Radić Touché! :-)
*feeling proud* ^_^
Back when the superstars had no problem fighting, now the scrubs fight
😂😂😂 sad but tru. if i see another espn highlight of kendrick perkins or matt barnes getting into a scuffle lmao
Man Ewing used to kill with that turn around jumper down low. It's not that today's players aren't good. They're great!!! It's the style that's different. I miss guys in the post & being physical.
i looked at this last night and was disgusted at barkley for pushing ewing to the floor. can't stand barkley.
Woow ewing was really good
Why did ewing fall though when he had fight with barkley?? Nobody pushed him that hard..
There are other factors like haunt his foot stepped on
@@davemartino5997 what
Flopped
The real nba Era
10 guys within 8' of the basket bricking contested shots and the 3 line wide open? Yeah, great basketball.
