Imagine the Knicks with Anthony Mason/Charles Oakley, Pistons with Lambeer/Rick Mahorn playing the fraidy cats of today ? They'd be cryin'. Come get me mom.
Xavier McDaniel himself would clear out a bar of today's NBA players. Wouldn't even need Oakley. They were big, strong with the attitude to go with it.
@@colbynichols250wow, nice catch both of you, didn't even notice the hulkster and didn't even focus on the face of the guy in a t shirt. It really is Bischoff, now this game is beyond legendary 😂😂
Thanks all for down loading these 80', 90's games !!!@ if get a chance I just watched 94 rockets vs. Knicks. There was a potential rebound and I think 6/7 players went at it tooth and nail. Now that's intensity and defense!!! Hakeem going against Ewing. Too bad Knicks didn't win a championship - Ewing was a defensive monster and could score as well.
I lived on the east coast. But we got WGN channel 9. So all the Bulls,Blackhawks,Cubs,Whitesox games! Plus half the Bulls games were nationally televised anyhow!
I miss those days as a young boy Sundays on The NBC music, the starting lineup intro, That Garden Music through out the game loud, Great Voice of Marv, this used to send chills of excitement. Gotta be no younger than 35 too remember.
this woulda been anotha Knicks-Bulls ECF classic that year. I think the Bulls woulda won in 6 or 7, but woulda been a fight just like the previous Knicks-Bulls playoff wars. Miami was not ready for that stage and it showed in their performance smh. Miami was a very good team, but def not ready the ECF that year. I think this was Ewing's last year as an all-star caliber center. After that wrist injury, he was never the same
No he wasn’t the same after January 1998. But he was a fantastic second scoring option to Houston and Sprewell and still a great rim protector, making magic happen in that 99 run.
this would have been the most competitive year the knicks would have given the bulls during the 90s but were robbed by the heat in the playoffs during the suspensions. Ewing was still prime before his wrist injury the following season. LJ and Houston were fresh. And they would still have veteran toughness from a steady Oakley and Starks. Lastly i think people forget they had Buck Williams coming off the bench which was a strong front court backup.
Not sure if I can back the claim of "most potentially competitive 90's Bulls/Knicks matchup" when 1) the 1992 ECSF series went the full 7 games (1 of only 2 Bulls playoffs series during the 6 title years to go the distance) and 2) the 1993 ECF had the Knicks go up 2-0, before the Bulls stormed back to take the last 4, with games 4, 5, & 6 being ultra-competitive (highlighted by perhaps Michael's most clutch offensive playoff performance in Game 4, and the Bulls pulling a rabbit out of the hat in Game 5, with BJ Armstrong's clutch 3, and the repeated stops of Charles Smith at the rim).
Having said that, I do agree that we were robbed of a CHI/NYK ECF matchup in 1997 that would have been much more competitive than the one against Miami.
Nah 1993 was the year they let it get away, that was their best chance. Their best team vs arguably the weakest of the 6 Bulls title teams, up 2-0 with home court advantage and couldn't finish the job
What a beast Patrick was. I know he had the bad knees but still moved well in this season. I wish coulda had the chance to see the Bulls and the Knicks one more time in 97 for that ECF
Patrick had a bunch of game-winners this season. His last great season, as an all-star. He was still dunking on Mourning.😂 Went down swinging with a 37-point double-double in that game 7 in Miami with the depleted roster thanks to Thorn’s Bulls-protecting suspensions.
When times I heard that sound NBC live, in the late 90's where we have a cable tv im so excited. When Bulls vs Nicks. Rockets and Nicks it's so great.. thanks NBC I miss it..🎉🎉
NBA today is only 50% of NBA from 80s and 90s. Jordan and Bulls vs Rest of the world, and full emotions were guaranteed : ] Before each match, everyone asked themselves what Rodman would do, how many players he would provoke, how many interceptions Pippen would make, how many beautiful actions Jordan would make, etc. : ]
This game was played during the 1997 Holy Week. Back then I was more fixated towards the local basketball league here in my country. In fact my favorite local professional basketball team won the championship two months later, their 5th championship before the Bulls won their 5th as well in June of 1997.
This was the most entertaining one. All 4 games played tight and passionate, decided by 1-4 points, with great offense and defense. Jordan goes off for 51 in the opening match, Ewing gets even with this game winner. Pippen goes off in the third game in response to LJ talking trash, then in game 4 the Knicks get their first win in the United Center, denying the Bulls a 70th win and record-tying 40-1 home record, as well as holding Jordan under 30ppg on the year. It was magical and the most competitive the Knicks had ever been to the Bulls. No wonder the league office had to cook up those suspensions in the Heat series to assure the Bulls are in the Finals.
Subtle things about Michael Jordan that maybe some don’t notice…. Micheal Jordan always takes good high percentage shots and always has his body lined up and square to the basket #2 His wisdom…. He doesn’t turn the ball over and doesn’t beat himself #3 he has no weaknesses.. he can shoot, play defense, make free throws, high stakes and we’ve seen Jordan close out preseason games, regular season games, post season games and finals games and the moment never gets to big for him
Big boy basketball. When every shot made wasn't celebrated as if they just made buzzer beaters. Guys on the bench were actually sitting down, not standing, acting like a bunch of kids.
Old Patrick could barely move, being a liability on defense. Still, his superstar class and clutch play, with that fine jump shot and great post moves…driving the Knicks over Jordan and the Bulls
@@UpTheDown7 I watched it again and saw a muscular left bicep next to Bischoff on a person also wearing an nWo shirt. You're right, that has to be Hogan.
Hulk Hogan and Michael Jordan in the same building the only time both icons, don’t really expect John Cena and LeBron James in the same building anytime soon.
Unless you're 35+ years old, you won't understand how that intro music would pump you up for a day of basketball.
Round Ball Rock
Nah FRFR!!!! Best times of my life
I love Saturday afternoon basketball!
Facts!
John Tesh is the goat of intro music
This clip is better than today's game. Man... take me back
👍
Your MESSAGE SUMS IT UP, Sir!🇺🇲🏀 I'm 46 and can't help but get nostalgic!
It was a time where you made sure your cable bill was paid so you can watch the game
There is something about the NBA intro from the 90's that gives me chills.
Its the song brah!
Well you know you’re going to see some good D 😂
To this day ‼️‼️
YES!!
NBC is the best
The glory days in basketball
I could name every player on each of these teams! I couldn't tell you 8 players in today's entire NBA! What the hell happened!
💯💯💯
the game isn't good anymore. no D and non-stop 3's
"What the hell happened!"
No one believes you.
Dang
No defense, no rivalries, ridiculous uniforms.
The best NBA era no flopping
Lol huh,
They’re so fkn big!!!
Both these teams would crush any team today
I miss when real men played basketball! 👊🏽💥💯
Everytime I hear the "bigger faster stronger" argument I think the same. No way in HELL are players bigger and stronger today
Imagine the Knicks with Anthony Mason/Charles Oakley, Pistons with Lambeer/Rick Mahorn playing the fraidy cats of today ? They'd be cryin'. Come get me mom.
"Both these teams would crush any team today"
Ok, nostalgiatard
Xavier McDaniel himself would clear out a bar of today's NBA players. Wouldn't even need Oakley. They were big, strong with the attitude to go with it.
@@steveguse4481And everyone looks fast when nobody is playing defense?
Nothing more 90s than this, bulls, knicks, music, jordan, pippen, rodman, ewing and a guy with a nWo shirt at 24:17. What a time!!
Eric Bishoff and Hollywood Hogan! 4 Life!
That's eric bischoff himself (swear) look at it.
@@colbynichols250wow, nice catch both of you, didn't even notice the hulkster and didn't even focus on the face of the guy in a t shirt. It really is Bischoff, now this game is beyond legendary 😂😂
2 Sweeeeeeet!
Bring the NBA on NBC back.
Pleeeeaaassseee
Word
It’s coming back!! I can’t wait!!!
@@greglismonjr1368 but sadly we’re losing TNT.
What a time to be alive as a kid in the 90’s!! NBA on NBC Sunday Triple Headers and then WWF Raw is War on Monday Nights!! My Childhood was Awesome!!
Amen 👍
That jordan fadeaway is unstoppable
Miss this rivalry. 90's basketball was the best. Bulls vs Knicks. I could watch them play everyday.
I miss theses days the real NBA
Thanks all for down loading these 80', 90's games !!!@ if get a chance I just watched 94 rockets vs. Knicks. There was a potential rebound and I think 6/7 players went at it tooth and nail. Now that's intensity and defense!!! Hakeem going against Ewing. Too bad Knicks didn't win a championship - Ewing was a defensive monster and could score as well.
Vividly one of my favorite memories of my fav Knicks team 1997. Also same day Notorious BIG was killed.
ehehehehe suge got em for payback!
Nothing will ever compare to the NBA on NBC‼️‼️
Today's NBA is not fun to watch like this.
So true unless you like watching 3 point contest
Growing up in Chicago during these times, never missed a game. We were spoiled
I lived on the east coast. But we got WGN channel 9. So all the Bulls,Blackhawks,Cubs,Whitesox games! Plus half the Bulls games were nationally televised anyhow!
Days like these, I use to enjoy watching high level quality basketball. Can't say the same for present day NBA
I forget how good Patrick Ewing was
What a time to be alive! I was 8 years old but I remember. My childhood 💯💪🏽
its also wild that this game contains the last instance of HOF'ers Robert Parish and Ewing 1 on 1
I miss those days as a young boy Sundays on The NBC music, the starting lineup intro, That Garden Music through out the game loud, Great Voice of Marv, this used to send chills of excitement. Gotta be no younger than 35 too remember.
No I’m 38 and clearly remember. It’s 40 plus
Ewing and the Knicks should at least got one ring in the 90s
Hell no
yep in 99 that was their chance
They had their chance in ‘94 blew game 7
They couldn't get out the East, The bulls dominated the 90s🏀💯😎
They should've had 1 in '92, '94 and '97.
In '92 and '97, they got cheated!

@@TRJ2241987exactly!!!! Not sure what this guy was thinking
the same day famous rapper Biggie Smalls passed away.
God bless his soul to Christopher Wallace.
Damn sure is….
"Yo, they got biggie"
This music takes me back to my innocent days
What a beast Patrick was. I know he had the bad knees but still moved well in this season. I wish coulda had the chance to see the Bulls and the Knicks one more time in 97 for that ECF
I miss the 90’s nba
ewing was so hip. he was knicks itself.
Put This Game On NBA TV Hardwood Classic On TV
Amazing content! How in the world do you have access to all this goodness! Lol

That NBC intro🤑🔥🔥🔥
Real men play basketball 🏀
No flopping!no drama!
Back then defense was better than now. Not really like today. A hundred points was was good.
MISS THE 90'S NBA ON NBC❤️💯
24:00 if ppl want to know how Good Patrick was just watch this game! He didn’t miss! Lol
Patrick had a bunch of game-winners this season. His last great season, as an all-star. He was still dunking on Mourning.😂 Went down swinging with a 37-point double-double in that game 7 in Miami with the depleted roster thanks to Thorn’s Bulls-protecting suspensions.
I finally realized how hard he worked as a center. It's like he combined the center/power forward position. Blue Collar all the way !!!!
I was hoping that he would win 1 championship but the Bulls were too strong.
HELLS NO! THE BULLS HAD A LOT OF HELP! #phantomfoulsformj
#refereespet
Best NBA presentation ever the intro used to get me pumped
NBA on NBC had the best intros. Those were the days….yea
Men!…theses days were go good!
Loved the intro music.. great times nba games
NBA 90's was the best era in basketball IMO. Now is crowded of Leshit and full of baggage.
Can't wait for this music and intro when nba is back on nbc
When times I heard that sound NBC live, in the late 90's where we have a cable tv im so excited. When Bulls vs Nicks. Rockets and Nicks it's so great.. thanks NBC I miss it..🎉🎉
Knicks*
I was at that game. Senior year of high school.
These are real men
The Knicks played some inspired ball in this game after Biggie died earlier that morning.
I remember watching this game with my uncle when I was 7 wow
@24:18 min Eric Bischoff in the crowd with the NWO sweater 😅
Hogan to his left also
nWo 4 life
I thought I was seeing things and checked the comments section lol new new new new new new new world order
No FLOPPING, still scored 100+ppg, BIG BODIES, MUSCLE , NO CARRYING , NO TRAVELING , NO SOCIAL MEDIA
And these is just a regular season game. Imagine how they played during the playoff...
The golden era of basketball.
This era nba is so much better to watch, today nba game is like watching a 3 point contest or a netball game
Patrick Ewing was one of many international-born big men who were great in the NBA.
Love this channel
This should’ve been the east conference finals that season. Would’ve been epic. Knicks blew a 3-1 series lead to the heat after a brawl in game 4.
NBA today is only 50% of NBA from 80s and 90s. Jordan and Bulls vs Rest of the world, and full emotions were guaranteed : ]

MJ Was A Beast 🤦🏾♂️🔥, Those Bulls Players In The championship Runs Played Their Role To Perfection , Their Bigs Can Space For That Time Also
Patrick Ewing was also amazing. Unfortunately he couldn't carry his team to a championship
I had just moved to Colorado in 1997 and I got WGN - Chicago every frickin' night on TV announced by Marv Albert ! It was better than sex !!!!
I was at this game. Memories.
The last season that this rivalry was remotely exciting.
This was the most entertaining one. All 4 games played tight and passionate, decided by 1-4 points, with great offense and defense. Jordan goes off for 51 in the opening match, Ewing gets even with this game winner.

Bulls vs Knicks are alway a treat to watch
Even if NBC reclaimed the rights to air the NBA, today's product is so unpleasant to watch (even with the abundance of talent).
The ideal 1997 ECF, if not for that ill-fated rumble in ECSF g5 between Knicks and Heat.
Great upload! Any NBA on NBC highlights with the extended intro from the 1996-97 season? Anymore from the 1993-94, 1994-95 and 1995-96 seasons?
Do you have Orlando Magic Team 93-94?
👍 I'm not too sure Lee I may have a couple more, if I do hopefully I'll be able to get to them
@@MDBBall Ok cool. I’ll be on the lookout. I know you’ll upload it if you have them. Can you check?

At least 4 players rocked the taxi. Best shoes ever.
Dark day in NY because Biggie died that day eerie.
10:15 the most Patrick Ewing shit you will ever see.
Chicago Bulls On Broadway
When Basketball utilized all the basic principles. Today is just spacing, jumpshot and 3 pointer.
I was 17 years old when this game was on
Man I totally remember these days I remember when johnson came over from the hornets dam crazy The game was different than less flopping If any at all
NBC NEED TO GET NBA BACK AND MLB ON SATURDAY
I was at this game. Learned when I got home that Christopher Wallace had passed.
That nbc intro 😢
I miss that intro, used to get me pumped up for basketball 🎉
Big boy basketball. When every shot made wasn't celebrated as if they just made buzzer beaters. Guys on the bench were actually sitting down, not standing, acting like a bunch of kids.
That travel on Ewing was so blatant 😂😂😂
That MJ fadeaway is just perfect.
I have turned from the current NBA to watch a throwback game before
Jordan must’ve been giving this day, everyone got the 12s on 😅
Information for today’s kids: in the 1990’s, players played DEFENSE in the NBA.
Ron Harper what a player
Old Patrick could barely move, being a liability on defense. Still, his superstar class and clutch play, with that fine jump shot and great post moves…driving the Knicks over Jordan and the Bulls
B-ball where everyone played their actual position
10:12 look at the big man go! Lol
10:19 lmao! 😂🤣😂 late delay pain 😂😂
10:11 why have i never seen this?? 😮
Sensational! Yes!
Take me back to this era please! Let my Mavs win this chip though

this was gonna be the year knicks were gonna beat chicago but they shot themselves in the foot wit that fight against miami..
17:38 Ewing lifting a full grown man by his waist all the way to his feet. That's ridiculous strength

Hogan's standing next to him, brother.
@@UpTheDown7 I watched it again and saw a muscular left bicep next to Bischoff on a person also wearing an nWo shirt. You're right, that has to be Hogan.
10:12 Rodman's hip check on an airborne Ewing in today's NBA would be 7 flagrants, 16 shots and a public execution.
Never knew Ewing had a smooth midrange jumper.
When basketball was basketball
Eric Bischoff & Hulk Hogan at 24:17!
good catch!!!!
Too SWEEEEET!
Hulk Hogan and Michael Jordan in the same building the only time both icons, don’t really expect John Cena and LeBron James in the same building anytime soon.
