Man, you young ones don't understand the hype of the NBA on NBC intro music along with Marv Albert on the call on a Sunday afternoon. You knew it was about to be a battle.
its impossible to explain it to them because tv has changed so much since then, we didnt have streaming or mobile devices we could only watch these games when they aired or record with our VCR, it was more of an event every game you planned for.
I remember watching this game both of the bulls losses to the Knicks came on NBC that year i wanted this to be the conference finals so bad but Stern had to protect his man Jordan
@@jaredwright8085 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 protect Jordan from what? Another year sending the Knicks home? That's about all that was gonna happen lol. I do wish we played the Knicks instead of the Heat but the Bulls would've beaten the Knicks anyway

Actually the most talented roster Ewing had was in 99 but unfortunately Ewing was out of his prime. If prime Ewing had the 99 Knicks roster, they would've won multiple championships
Born and raised in NYC but I was a Bulls fan because of Michael Jordan from 1992-1997. This was the exact game between the Knicks and the Bulls which converted me to a Knicks fan. I remembered that interview with Patrick Ewing in the end that inspired me to root for the Knicks from here on. I’m from NY so I should be cheering for NY. Thanks for this video.
Woww what a game, both teams playing awesone defense and the stars making shots (except Pippen). A rare but impressive win for the Knicks. As usual Michael and Patrick taking center stage
factz...the next season (97-98) I believe the Bulls swept 4-0. Partly cuz Ewing was injured in most those games. I also think the 96-97 season was Ewing's last season as an All-Star calibur center. He was moving a lot slower and not fluid from 98-00
Agreed. Best regular season game I’ve ever seen. All four games of this season series between NY and Chicago were imo the best basketball I’ve ever seen. Elite offense and defense, pride and passion on display by every player and coach, huge shots made by the superstars (especially MJ and Pat), and a loud, passionate crowd that isn’t full of disinterested 1%ers like today’s games. All four games decided by 4 points or less and went down to the final shot. Both teams winning twice, once at home and once on the other’s home floor. Incredible. We were robbed of an all-time great Eastern Conference Finals.
Being a Knicks and Jordan fan....these games were always so hard to watch. But they went to war every time. Pacers, Heat and Hornets all brought it too, along with others.
20:19 Pippen stat line in addition to bricking the last shot. 11 pts 6 rebs 12 asts. 🤦♀️ Freaking Draymond Green numbers. I don't wanna hear anyone ever say MJ had Pippen again. For real.
@@PIP...33Did Michael Jordan rape your mother? 'Cause that's the only reasonable explanation for your insane, obsessive hatred of the man. Feminine energy at its finest. Grow the hell up.
@@redpillfreedom6692You’re delusional if you think the league is suspending Jordan for getting up from his bench seat and taking 2 steps onto the court to get a better view of the fight, still in front of his bench, as did Ewing. Those suspensions were designed to protect the Bulls. One wonders if Thorn and Riley discussed how to start a brawl late in a game to set it up.
this shoulda been the ECF that year. It woulda been another Bulls-Knicks playoff classic. I think it woulda went 6 or 7 with of course MJ and the Bulls winning. I rem this game like yesterday and was soooooo pissed when the Bulls lost cuz they coulda went 40-1 at home and back to back 70 win seasons. I was waiting for the Bulls to get payback in the ECF that year, but it neva happened smh. Knicks were celebrating like they won the chip 🤣🤣🤣
Facts the knicks were one of the few teams to beat the bulls twice that season. They got screwed in that Miami series. I believe Ewing and Houston were suspended for game 6 while Starks and Oakley were suspended in game 7. Would have been a much more entertaining ECF.
@@62lceaser The Heat were very good that year but not quite ready for the big stage, Knicks on the other hand were ready and would've given the Bulls a real battle.
I know the debate about MJ vs Lebron continues on but I have to say seeing that I saw Jordan play when he was with the Bulls, it wasn't just his slashing to the lane and dunking the ball. It was Jordan's ability to make something out of nothing on a play or the defender playing good defense on him. It didn't matter, Jordan was still Jordan and could still score the bucket. Jordan's fadeaway jumper was impossible to defend.
Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to watch this game live back in the day. A shame too cause just lookin at these highlights it was a great game. Great come from behind win by NY. And in a place that was a "house of horrors" for them. They practically never won in Chicago, especially in the playoffs. But then again who did lol
WE CAN SEE THAT JORDAN HAVE 4 HALL OF FAMERS VS 1 EWING. ONLY DERANGED PPL THINK HE IS GOAT BECAUSE ZACH LAVINE CAN DUNK BETTER THAN HIM DEROZAN POST UP LIKE HIM. U PUT ALLAN HOUSTON NEAR RODMAN KUKOC PIPPEN THEY WILL WIN 5 IN A ROW.
@@michaelallen8112No he didn't. He had one big shot in the first round against an opponent they were going to beat anyway. Pippen was notoriously unreliable in the clutch.
kids today would never believe Jordan and Oakley were best friends. they used to dudes hugging and kissing and exchanging jerseys posing for IG photos.
Last game of the regular season. Denying the Bulls a history-tying home record. Sending a message: We've got your number this year, MJ!!! And then, in the Playoffs, the refs and the NBA changed history, suspending FIVE Knicks over the last two games against the Heat -- who were down 3-1 before the catastrophic Game 5 (I do hope PJ Brown is rotting in some kind of hell, wherever he is). All these years later, I am STILL pissed... and I will *always* wonder if 1997 was the year that Ewing and his team could have dethroned the GOAT, Michael Jordan, and gone on to win the championship. No one else could have managed it but my Knicks, but we'll never know for sure. Damn.
There's a reason why the Knicks were 0-8 at UC other than MJ,The bulls had the refs calling the game,for them. The Knicks will forever be playing two teams on the court,the actual basketball team,and the refs. It's a lose lose situation, for the Knicks as always. Marv was always a MJ fan.
