@RR48320 Or made sure you had that decent TV antenna to see the NBA on NBC til that cable bill was paid lol,The theme Is Epic and Legendary,🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Would get you fired up for a game even if was a "Non playoff game" in Mid January 😂😂😅😅
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!
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
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.
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.
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..🎉🎉
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
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. : ]
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
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
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.
@@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.
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.
If you wanna say today's NBA is better, fine. Let's go with that. You can't watch MJ highlights and not believe he'd be the best player in today's league, too. Nobody plays like he did.
I grew up in the 90s but I used to defend today's NBA against the usual criticism (e.g. soft, lenient foul calls, 3 pointers, you name it) but 2-3 years ago I couldn't watch it anymore. The league and the referees are treating every game like an all star game. The preferential treatments to "star players" and big market teams are way over excessive. In literally every game star players get away with blatant travelling violations; 3 4 5 steps are okay. And then there's constant flopping and acting to trick the referees. These aren't basketball plays fans enjoy (wait, maybe today's fans do like to see LeBron taking 5 steps layups and crying about fouls)
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.
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.
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
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
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
@RR48320 Or made sure you had that decent TV antenna to see the NBA on NBC til that cable bill was paid lol,The theme Is Epic and Legendary,🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Would get you fired up for a game even if was a "Non playoff game" in Mid January 😂😂😅😅
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.
Bring the NBA on NBC back.
Pleeeeaaassseee
Word
It’s coming back!! I can’t wait!!!
@@greglismonjr1368 but sadly we’re losing TNT.
The best NBA era no flopping
Lol huh,
Miss this rivalry. 90's basketball was the best. Bulls vs Knicks. I could watch them play everyday.
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
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.

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!
Nothing will ever compare to the NBA on NBC‼️‼️
its also wild that this game contains the last instance of HOF'ers Robert Parish and Ewing 1 on 1
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!

Today's NBA is not fun to watch like this.

No I’m 38 and clearly remember. It’s 40 plus
What a time to be alive! I was 8 years old but I remember. My childhood 💯💪🏽
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
Amazing content! How in the world do you have access to all this goodness! Lol

Put This Game On NBA TV Hardwood Classic On TV
I miss the 90’s nba
ewing was so hip. he was knicks itself.
Best NBA presentation ever the intro used to get me pumped
Real men play basketball 🏀
No flopping!no drama!
24:00 if ppl want to know how Good Patrick was just watch this game! He didn’t miss! Lol

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
Back then defense was better than now. Not really like today. A hundred points was was good.
MISS THE 90'S NBA ON NBC❤️💯
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!
#Knicksfansince1990
Loved the intro music.. great times nba games
That NBC intro🤑🔥🔥🔥
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*
Men!…theses days were go good!
NBA on NBC had the best intros. Those were the days….yea
Can't wait for this music and intro when nba is back on nbc
NBA 90's was the best era in basketball IMO. Now is crowded of Leshit and full of baggage.
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?
I was at that game. Senior year of high school.
the same day famous rapper Biggie Smalls passed away.
God bless his soul to Christopher Wallace.
Damn sure is….
"Yo, they got biggie"
No FLOPPING, still scored 100+ppg, BIG BODIES, MUSCLE , NO CARRYING , NO TRAVELING , NO SOCIAL MEDIA
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
Patrick Ewing was one of many international-born big men who were great in the NBA.
Love this channel

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 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.
This era nba is so much better to watch, today nba game is like watching a 3 point contest or a netball game
Never knew Ewing had a smooth midrange jumper.
The Knicks played some inspired ball in this game after Biggie died earlier that morning.
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
Bulls vs Knicks are alway a treat to watch
10:15 the most Patrick Ewing shit you will ever see.
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 !!!!
@@Trupp42😂😂
The NBA will Never let today's game go like it was back in the 90's that's when it was basketball.
These are real men
Pat Ewing went off

Eric Bischoff and Hulk Hogan at 24:16.
The Knicks had a squad!!! I miss this era....
The ideal 1997 ECF, if not for that ill-fated rumble in ECSF g5 between Knicks and Heat.
Damn I miss those Jordan 12’s
For Ewing to steal and finish the play with a dunk with bad knees!!!!
And these is just a regular season game. Imagine how they played during the playoff...
The golden era of basketball.
Ewing is a true warrior
Oakley plays tough defense
Kerr never missed a shot
Jordan could score anywhere
Dark day in NY because Biggie died that day eerie.
