Can't believe Dolan traded Novak for Bargs. JR and Novak coming off the bench were a big reason why the Knicks were so dominant last season. Dolan does not deserve to own this team!
I actually had tears in my eyes watching this. Novakaane and JR killing it! 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 New York Knicks was the city's last exciting team. The 12-13 team went to semifinals and lost in 6 to the Pacers.
@@godsu for real. They beaten Heat without two of their best players twice. One without Melo and Stoudemire, and another without Stoudemire and while Chandler played, he was in pain so badly he got only one rebound.
As a knick fan, I loved jr. But it was no secret that he needed a change of scenery. He had a good run in New York but the front office realized they needed to change the roster
Tell me, why did Knicks trade Novak for Bargniani?! I know Novak doesn't rebound or defend, but he's a top 3pt shooter. Bargs doesn't defend, rebound, score in the low post and he's average to below average when shooting 3s. What was the logic behind that trade?
They traded novak, camby, and a 2nd rounder for bargnani because: The year before the Knicks were good, but needed to improve. So they gave up a role player in Novak, a guy who can only shoot 3's. Camby who was practically useless the entire year on the court, and a 2nd rounder which isn't all that much. They were gaining a guy who could POTENTIALLY become the 2nd scorers Carmelo and the Knicks desperately need. Pros and cons were Pro: Bargnani had high upside to be a 2nd scoring threat Cons: we know all of them about him, lack of D, rebounding, and injury prone Pro: We weren't giving up that much, novak being the best part of the trade, stats wise we didn't give up much...but... Con: we see now, just like jason kidd, novak meant more to the Knicks than his 7 points a game.
This roster was so fun to watch and so was the one the year before with Lin. Got blown up for no reason and Mike Woodson got fired after getting the 2 seed smh
they were so fun to watch. all those shooters around melo. i wish he never injured his shoulder against indiana. a new york-miami conference final would've been cool
Da Diah nah it wasnt as much as his shoulder the pacers just out manhadle the knicks in that series tyson chandler aint do shit he made hibbert look better than he really is ... if they didnt get snuff in game 1 they woudlve won in 7 that yr and i truly believe they had enuff to beat the heat that yr .... to go to the nba finals
This the best 2k ive ever seen i mean the graphics are great, player interactions and animations top notch and the commentators are so versatile 😂😂😂😂😂😂
JR started it... Novak finished it. What a killer combo. But let's not get carried away and compare them to the splash brothers. This was one game (and there were more) but the splash bro's consistently did it and ended up in the top 6 in points in the regular season this year (Curry 2nd and Klay 6th)
This was PEAK NBA imo. Like every single game was just so fun to watch, the competition was so high between all teams and they all had grit. Teams nowadays just lay down and get blown out in the 1st Q
Watching this makes me a little upset and bothered because of the fact that if the Knicks had the right management and got rid of Steve Mills back then we would have been able to orchestra a team around Carmelo Anthony stat and keep Steve Novak and Jr. Smith and built around those guys Steve Novak and Jr. Smith were perfect for outside shooter when needed. I'm sick because we had them at there prime..smh..damn steve mills and dolan smh.
Causal Fans will say the warriors started the 3pt era (and that’s understandable given their success) but this was the real start of the 3 pt era in NBA
Not its not 😂 magic in 2009 have a more 3 point shooters. You the casual one 😂 the warriors make it popular, they ddnt started it but they make it popular because back then no jump shooting team can win a championship but they prove everybody wrong by winning in 2015. So stop acting smart, casual.
Other than 2009, this was melo's best shot at a title.... had a young shumpert, a prime JR, a good center in chandler, still had amare stoudemire, and a sniper in Novak.
I'm from Finland, Europe and I'm a huge Celtics fan, I went to this game and I was so pissed at these two of how well they shot the 3. But when I think about it later on it was a pretty unbelievable experience to see this kind of a shooting even though my Celtics lost the game.. :D
I'm a Boston fan, but when I was watching this happen i couldn't help but be excited for NY. You could feel the hype in that arena radiating from your TV when watching this.
As a Knicks fan, there is nothing more exciting than when Novak turns into Stevie Ratchets and blacks out from three. The feeling of everyone in the building knowing the defense fucked up giving him a good shot, then the crowd explosion on impact. Dude is a marksman. If I'm the Knicks GM, I'm sign him long term, because a shooter of his caliber is rare, and he's always a threat when hes on the floor.
+Julian Tang I remember when we got Landry I was so happy but he was nothing but a bench warmer, he lost his stroke after his shoulder injury and never shot the same.
not a knicks video without shumpert bricking an open 3
He's got a lot better though
L disrespecting ShumpGOAT
lol
he's balling right now i give em credit
SSDZReturns W he's been shooting better since his wrist started feeling better.
Can't believe Dolan traded Novak for Bargs. JR and Novak coming off the bench were a big reason why the Knicks were so dominant last season. Dolan does not deserve to own this team!
I actually watch all knicks games and novak is horrible except for shooting wide open 3s
u cannot use words like Kincks and Dominant in the same sentense
Dj papu learn how to spell please
yeah of course i will do it for somebody ive never seen, never knew and for somebody that doesnt exist yeah. :D what did you expect? :D
DJ PAPU official You cannot use words like DJ PAPU official and good spelling in the same sentence...
back when life was good...
Melo, you r now a bench player
He's started every game for Portland since they've picked him up
Ron M he’s a starter
Ron M wit yo dumb ass
@IG: confused_melo For FACTS #Ginga who cares not my team 🤷🤷
“Fortunately for New York he looked up at the clock” Lebron watching this with anger in his soul 😂😂
I actually had tears in my eyes watching this. Novakaane and JR killing it! 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 New York Knicks was the city's last exciting team. The 12-13 team went to semifinals and lost in 6 to the Pacers.
I wish that team could play forever
It aint the same without them even if I dont like what the NBA has become
I think they would have made it further without injuries
this team was so fun to watch. the discount double-check taunt novak would do always had me dying 😂
Im from LA & this team made me love basketball as a kid watching them play all the time for some reason we had most games🫡
Right smh I feel like they were better than the Heat that 2013 year, we were a matchup problem for them in every position smh
You know we're basketball starved when knicks highlights start up in the feed
Justin Grant This Knicks team was actually good though
@@godsu 100%....but I'm just saying .....the algorithm throwing us and them a bone lol
Justin Grant Thats true
@@godsu for real. They beaten Heat without two of their best players twice. One without Melo and Stoudemire, and another without Stoudemire and while Chandler played, he was in pain so badly he got only one rebound.
Back when jr was actually good
Thank you Knicks, for not recognizing greatness when it's in front of your face. Your trash helped Cleveland win a title.
.... And break the 3 point record XD
As a knick fan, I loved jr. But it was no secret that he needed a change of scenery. He had a good run in New York but the front office realized they needed to change the roster
jr was too distracted in ny. lucky for him there aint shit to do in cleveland except play
+hmango111 exactly! Even jr himself said that
Bruh that nigga be high asf downtown and in the club like eryday
J.R. Smith and Novak made it splash just getting all those buckets!!
I legit get tears in my eyes every time I watch this. One of my best times as an adult knicks fan born in 85 #knicks
Not a knicks fan but diehard Steve novak fan. Was so pissed the bucks finally got him and he gets hurt. Such a smooth shot.
The ball movement and 3 point shooting of the 2012 Knicks should’ve stayed longer and become the GSW of their time
when the knicks actually cared...
Most of Today’s kids will never know how much of a BEAST NY Smith was 🔥
NOVACAINE for the soul.
2012 knicks... 3 point squad
Pepperonniii the 2013 squad even deeper 😵

Don't know... not to mention he's been injured for like 6 fucking months now...
the raptors also traded novak, he missed multiple clutch three's and then was a liability everywhere else
They traded novak, camby, and a 2nd rounder for bargnani because: The year before the Knicks were good, but needed to improve. So they gave up a role player in Novak, a guy who can only shoot 3's. Camby who was practically useless the entire year on the court, and a 2nd rounder which isn't all that much. They were gaining a guy who could POTENTIALLY become the 2nd scorers Carmelo and the Knicks desperately need. Pros and cons were
Pro: Bargnani had high upside to be a 2nd scoring threat
Cons: we know all of them about him, lack of D, rebounding, and injury prone
Pro: We weren't giving up that much, novak being the best part of the trade, stats wise we didn't give up much...but...
Con: we see now, just like jason kidd, novak meant more to the Knicks than his 7 points a game.
Mario Cardone They gave up a first rounder (next year's) and TWO second rounders (2014, 2017) for Bargnani.
Spikezx7 because, Knicks.
Something truly amazing at 3:10 - JR Smith recognizing the clock and reacting appropriately.
Trult a rare sighting
This video is fake....rondo hit a jumpshot
lmaooo
lol true
yo comment section got no chill lmao.
Shanny Salcedo lol
Shanny Salcedo lulzzz
Steve Novak was clutch for them
3:09 that was a hell of a shot. “ FROM Schenectady!!!!!”😂😂
This Knicks was good and so fun to watch. Low turn-overs, good 3 point shooters, Melo in his prime, decent defense with Shump and Chandler.
This roster was so fun to watch and so was the one the year before with Lin. Got blown up for no reason and Mike Woodson got fired after getting the 2 seed smh
111illmatic this was the linsanity year
Dolan has no idea what he is doing.
3:00 worst uncalled moving screen I've ever seen
watch all the plays of gsw bruh
Zerce I'm guessing you don't watch the Warriors
Zerce yeah, I saw that too lol
Zerce hell yea
Zerce nigga did a crabwalk screen
Novak is the most underrated
This is when u started watching the nba brings back memories
2012: "Wow look at all the threes in this game"
2020: "Goddammit, another game filled with threes"
I’ll never complain about threes, most exciting thing in basketball
Still can't believe the Knicks traded Novak to Toronto for Bargnani. smh
I come back and watch this video at least once a year lol
Lol same!
which year of 2K is this?
2k12
Had them sliders way up
It wasn't 2k12 it was 2k13 because this is the 2011-12 season
*****
2K12 was released October 4, 2011. It was based on the 2010-11 season. It has the Mavs & Heat in the demo
Gold49ersFan you are slow .. it has them because they were in the finals its based of the 2011-12 season ... explain why Kyrie is in the game then?
i miss those days smh ....
Isaac Tanis
lets pray on it lol
Isaac Tanis
yea i saw it ... horrible ... lol and it gets worst tonite at the lebron james homecoming show lol
Isaac Tanis
yea i was shocked they acutally wasnt bad .. but lebron had a horrible night that made us look better ... hopefully its a step up ...
they were so fun to watch. all those shooters around melo. i wish he never injured his shoulder against indiana. a new york-miami conference final would've been cool
Da Diah
nah it wasnt as much as his shoulder the pacers just out manhadle the knicks in that series tyson chandler aint do shit he made hibbert look better than he really is ... if they didnt get snuff in game 1 they woudlve won in 7 that yr and i truly believe they had enuff to beat the heat that yr .... to go to the nba finals
3:01 most illegal screen ever
Holy Toledo 😂
He hit that from Schenectady 😂
This the best 2k ive ever seen i mean the graphics are great, player interactions and animations top notch and the commentators are so versatile 😂😂😂😂😂😂
JR started it... Novak finished it. What a killer combo. But let's not get carried away and compare them to the splash brothers. This was one game (and there were more) but the splash bro's consistently did it and ended up in the top 6 in points in the regular season this year (Curry 2nd and Klay 6th)
What? Most PPG this year
Westbrook
Harden
LBJ
In that order, wheres curry?
Spvcely I think he means 3-pt shooting
HUGE props to the Celtics for keeping it that close even with the Knicks cheesing😂
3:13 wow JR being aware
This was PEAK NBA imo. Like every single game was just so fun to watch, the competition was so high between all teams and they all had grit. Teams nowadays just lay down and get blown out in the 1st Q
"he puts it in from SCHENECTADY!! " hahaha
Best part
@Chris Williams wrong
Chris Williams you must be a brain dead teenager if you think he said Cincinnati
Damm you guys r arguing over a comment from four yrs ago, for sure the dude even forgot about his comment😂
The Last Kim Yerim you must be a little kid, nobody here is arguing
This is the video that made me fall in love with basketball
Damn, still find it hard to believe Novak is gone....
Great times love my Knicks
This Knicks team was so fun to watch. You almost thought they had a chance to go all the way
J
R
SMITH!
That’s one of the best name calls in the garden
celtics mustve put their game sliders to 100 to come that close in the end
This was the last time I smiled
Watching this makes me a little upset and bothered because of the fact that if the Knicks had the right management and got rid of Steve Mills back then we would have been able to orchestra a team around Carmelo Anthony stat and keep Steve Novak and Jr. Smith and built around those guys Steve Novak and Jr. Smith were perfect for outside shooter when needed.

Back when the NBA was good and everybody was in their prime.
And we still have academics who never played sports saying that the hot hand doesn't exist 😂😆
Really, math nerds who have never shot a basketball before.
You dumb ash to think Novak wasn’t cold from 3
“Threeeeee point Goal J R Smithhhhhh” 😂🔥
Before Duncan Robinson there's Steve Novak 🔥🔥🔥
💯
Other than 2009, this was melo's best shot at a title.... had a young shumpert, a prime JR, a good center in chandler, still had amare stoudemire, and a sniper in Novak.
Its almost been 7 yrs since this game...
year 8 of watching this one a year since this amazing game
Those were some fun times.
There is a legend that Carmelo had an assist that game....
that makes no sense
Carmelo ain't Kobe dude
Thhreeeee poointerrr
I'm from Finland, Europe and I'm a huge Celtics fan, I went to this game and I was so pissed at these two of how well they shot the 3. But when I think about it later on it was a pretty unbelievable experience to see this kind of a shooting even though my Celtics lost the game.. :D
Super Novak
Please never take this down
no prob bro
if melo does passes like the one to novak in the corner with the new Knicks shooters(jennings,
lee,kuzminskas) we going to be very hard to stop😁😀
Dirk Nowitzki I don't know why you talking 2-9
mchael ams Well....
Lol
Jennings is gone and really? Kuz? Stop it.. Lee might do something.
I'm a Boston fan, but when I was watching this happen i couldn't help but be excited for NY. You could feel the hype in that arena radiating from your TV when watching this.
2012 NBA
Doc should’ve been a called timeout 😂😂
Mysterious Zay Llf he would've been 12 or 13 3s to late
i remember this game....damn amazing game couldn't believe what was going on.
I'm just waiting for the day Durant, Klay and Curry all go off and the Warriors score 175
I Mean it could, they all play for different teams and all play on the same day and the Warriors happen to score 175
Back when basketball was beautiful😷
Damn we had potential back then. We're a joke now. NYK for life tho
Good lord... The Knicks were killing it... Can we get back to this
anyone else remember how broken steve novak used to be in 2k? lmao
Jr Smith and steve novak were the splash brother's back before curry and klay
Bang!!!!
And now we back in the playoffs, time moves slow yet so fast man
That first half though
I watch this again and then remember how we stand now in 2017.. then I cry
Back when the Knicks were relevant...
This some legendary shit and I’m not even a Knicks fan
The last knicks team that couldve won the east in my opinion. Maybe the following yr too..
Facts
Still got the 2k12 Steve Novak release on green 💸💸
Then Steph comes into the limelight and does all of this combined in one half 😂😂
Hahaha yep Steph carry it's still overrated
Jr swish and the novacaine One of the best bench duos ever don't @ me
#freenovak
The good old days
3:22 if only he did it in that game and we all know what I’m talking about 😭
5:09 is one of my favorite callings ever "Right between the eyes!!!"
the good ole days
Damn... We could use this spacing right now.
If u are a knicks fan and dont remember this u are a bandwagon
Knicks have Bandwagons?
the fact that they traded him for someone who was hurt all of last year pisses me off
The Knicks were so badass back then.
3:20 JR having good clock awareness? What??
As a Knicks fan, there is nothing more exciting than when Novak turns into Stevie Ratchets and blacks out from three. The feeling of everyone in the building knowing the defense fucked up giving him a good shot, then the crowd explosion on impact. Dude is a marksman. If I'm the Knicks GM, I'm sign him long term, because a shooter of his caliber is rare, and he's always a threat when hes on the floor.
3:01 Moving screen. Just had to point that out
this is why i started watcing knick games again
Why was Novak not good with the Raptors?...
they didn't give him minutes
+Julian Tang true, but he did get a few minutes here and there when some players were out.
+Julian Tang I remember when we got Landry I was so happy but he was nothing but a bench warmer, he lost his stroke after his shoulder injury and never shot the same.
+6ix Side they just wanted a Barnynia (can't spell his name) gone and didn't care who they got back
I miss these Knicks so fricken bad! They were so fun to watch #knickstape
And we traded that for a 1st pick bust smh
You consider KP a bust? smh
Porzingis is a bust for ya?
He meant bargnani not porzingis
we traded novak for bargnani he's the former number 1 pick and trash
Roni Gorani dude how long you follow the kicks ? He meant Barganni
Linsanity makes me start watching nba, but around that time Knicks as a team is also as exciting to watch!
Phil pulled the plug way too early on Mike Woodson.
2:57 Drop It Like it's hot was timely
Jr smith really doesn't have anything to prove now so thats why he doesn't play so efficient anymore.
That whole season was electric for the Knicks 💯
