Right or wrong, I truly believe that this was when the NBA was incredible. As a life long basketball fan, I honestly find it hard to watch an entire NBA game currently.

@x like most things, there is a peak... late 70's to early 2000s was (1) tough gritty basketball, (2) 3 pointers, and (3) intensity on defense ...all seen together on the same court... not all the way back in time BUT during the peak... today is get out the way drives, accepting a mere 33% shot as the prime shot ( 3 pt) and wimpy ball in general... I can't stomach the all star game... a public shoot around? Why watch
My favorite knick. John Starks. Never the most talented player on the court but always gave it everything he had. Embodied what a knick was in the 90's.
What? He was the Most Talented Knick and one of the SG talents of the 90’s yes there were superstars players who were overall talented than Starks however John was very talented
This was from his 6th Man of the Year performance, right? They had the roster to make an impact, but the suspensions after the Miami playoff game changed that trajectory.

To this day, the most random act of kindness I've ever seen in person from a Professional Athlete was Latrell Sprewell. Some guy was asking for Spree's sneakers (this was in 1996) .

This was just an average regular season game between two teams that only met 2 times a season. The intensity here is what is lacking in many games today. Not saying any era is better than another. Just would like to see this kind of intensity (that was common in the 90's) in today's game.
Loved John but he wasn't no Hall Of Fame player. Now....IF Hakeem had never blocked that last second shot in Game 6 of the 94 Finals and Starks won the title at the buzzer, he'd have had a much better chance since he would have undoubtedly won Finals MVP.

The unbelievable thing about this is NYK management and scouting leading up to the 1992 NBA Draft. Eight (yes that's right, 8) shooting guards were selected before Sprewell, who came in at number 24. New York chose Hubert Davis at 20. Now that it is all said and done, Sprewell mauled Jimmy Jackson throughout his career; the supposed best young shooting guard in the land at the time, chosen behind Christian Laettner at number 4. Starks could have had Sprewell as a backcourt teammate... Sure we would not have seen Sprewell's run and gun style (where he is most natural), but the Knicks are much stronger in the East.... and Sprewell was a senior out of Alabama, hence his early peak and All NBA First team selection around 93-94. I don't think Cassell, Smith or Maxwell are half as effective with Sprewell hounding them for 40 minutes and New York squeezes out one chip in the Patrick Ewing era. Ewing had no legitimate star power, nor did Hakeem, so adding Sprewell might push NYK to win, put pressure on Houston guards to play defense and maybe, just maybe put Hakeem in foul trouble...... There is a ripple effect here. Sprewell was so good in the 90's.... Like a longer nastier Jimmy Butler spliced with Chicago D Rose.
@@krlm2280 I didn't know this! Thanks for the knowledge. Somewhere on youtube Sprewell talks about the draft process and lighting up Phoenix in pre draft camp (but with Dan Majerle there, it didn't fit, hence Oliver Miller pick). If new york didn't even invite Sprewell for a workout, thats crazy. It worked out the way it was supposed to; Marciulionis gets hurt, Sprewell gets time, Don Nelson runs and guns. The rest is history.
To everyone else yeah, but not for Golden State. those were the dark days of basketball. from Webber to Gug to Donyell. Hardaway to Bimbo. Seikely to Felton Spencer. Spree to Stark. didn't draft Kobe and Sheed/Garnett, got todd fuller and Joe Smith instead. had vince carter, traded him for Jamison and then got nothing in return for Jamison after he turned good.

He had put on weight but was still very effective. He was still good before his wrist broke a couple of years later. This was actually the best Ewing Era Team in 1996. This team actually took some pressure off of Ewing. You had Ewing, Johnson, Houston, Starks, Oakley, Buck Williams, Ward, and Childs. If The Knicks didn't get into that fight with the Heats in the playoffs, they would have gone to the Finals.

Vividly remember this one. The year they played in San Jose, CA. Starks had words with Coach Rick Adelman and that started the tension. Warriors collectively went at Starks.
Hate the Knicks, but Starks is one of my favorite ballers of the 90s. Jah Morant attacks the rim like him and others from that time. Why some say he has an old school game. Great time to ball.
The metamorphosis of the game reached its peak in the late 70s until the early 2000s... that tough basketball was really a joy to watch then... now its just wimpy ball and poor defense....
Loved watching Spewell back then. He paired well with C Webb for a year or so. Really fun to watch those two - would have have been a nice combo but the band could not stay together.
It was only one year brother. I remember that was my first year going to a Warriors game live a long time ago. Webber got traded after his rookie year because he couldn’t get along with Don Nelson. They gave him up for Tom Gugliotta.
Boy this was classic, when the league was tough enough and broke players mentality down. That's how I know LeBron would not have made it in those days, his feelings would stay hurt.
He still would have done well since his body was built for this type of play. His career would definitely have ended a few years ago also for the same reason
I HATED that Spree trade back in the day. But they were such carbon copies. Spree earned my respect the hardest way possible. Starks my all-time fav, Spree my 2nd all-time fav. Salute to both of them. Showing you how to be a grown man through their play.
Lord knows I miss this era of basketball smh just the way it made you feel everyone getting together in the living room or in the basement ordering them pizzas and wings wit the drank knowing you watching real big man basketball and every team was a super team 💯💪🏾
The early 90's Knicks team rivaled the Pistons bad boy shit. Man, those were the best playoff years man. Jordan got all the calls. It is what it is. Ewing should made that fing lay up
@@HeathOverledger Yes. Those teams were good, but not as good. This 96 Team had Ewing (before the broken wrist), Houston, LJ, Oakley, Starks, Ward, Childs, Buck Williams, and more. They had The Bulls number, and just about every team's number in the Eastern Conference that year
So funny thinking back to 93 we’d play Sega and the fight was over who got to be Golden State because Spree was the unstoppable & C Webb just came from Michigan.
I feel sorry for any bball fan that wasnt around for THIS type of ball. THIS was basketball at its best
Seems alot like today. They can only say a little and still get tech's just for celebrating smh

How could this have been July 1996? Aren't the nba off that time of year?
That's 7th of November ;)
Spree was a great Knick for the time he was there, fit right in.
90's 년대는 NBA최고의 시대
🎯🎯
I forgot about be these alternate Knicks jerseys. I'm surprised they wore white on the road, that didn't happen back then like it does today.
Who won this game??
I miss my Knicks! I don't even know who they are anymore! Such a shame!
Damn these Warriors look stacked.
Lebron would have had a long day in this era!! Promise you! NBA was loaded with talent.
REAL basketball in the 90s!
Funny thing is they are traded for each other
OMG, 😳...... I forgot all about Ol CHARLIE WARD from Florida state back in the day all-around athlete, straight balla 💯💪🏾
Is it me or does Marv sound like Kenny here? It’s not Kenny on the call, is it?
Those Knick Jerseys are kind of dope.
Mannn in the beginning Spree was giving Starks the BIZNESSS
Is there any Big 3 on any othe NBA that was as big as the Knick with Ewing, Johnson and Oakley?
Knicks were like ohh this guy spree will fit in just fine 🧐
Its so funny how they were traded for each other
90s penitentiary ball- good clean hate. im in favor of it..
Fun fact the warriors played the 96 season at San Jose arena where the sharks play at
The early 90's Knicks team rivaled the Pistons bad boy shit. Man, those were the best playoff years man. Jordan got all the calls. It is what it is. Ewing should made that fing lay up
This was when they played in San Jose while they were adding seats to Oracle in Oakland. These were really bad days. Joe smith enough said
This 1996 Knicks Team was the best Ewing Era Team.
Over the 92-94 teams???
@@HeathOverledger Yes. Those teams were good, but not as good. This 96 Team had Ewing (before the broken wrist), Houston, LJ, Oakley, Starks, Ward, Childs, Buck Williams, and more. They had The Bulls number, and just about every team's number in the Eastern Conference that year
2:27
Beautiful move by Ewing.
LJ was built like a middle linebacker.
Oakley breaking up a fight 😂
So funny thinking back to 93 we’d play Sega and the fight was over who got to be Golden State because Spree was the unstoppable & C Webb just came from Michigan.
oh, I was too young to know but I thought Lakers were the only ones that has the non-white jersey for home team back then.
If sprewell and starks were on the same team people wouldve been gettin stuck up during games
why do u say that
Why??
That comment makes no sense
Why, he's saying people would have gotten thier pockets picked, steals!
