    I remember watching this playoffs run by the KNICKS 😊. LJ with the 4 point play against Indiana in the Garden was crazy 😮
  • @Tay234.
    Wow looks like a completely different game. So much movement and physicality on every possession
  • @SashaKlotz

    I am glad I was around and was able to watch those Knick’s teams of the 90’s and 00’s. To win games back then, teams not only had to score, they had to play defense as well. I wouldn’t say the game has evolved, I think it’s more of a change to adapt to the players coming out of college these days who are more offense oriented and had little-to-no defense in their repertoire. Man, those were fun games where you just didn’t watch to see who’d score and win, but also anticipated who’d get a bloody nose or get into a scuffle. And who can forget LJ’s 4-point play to win a playoff game against those same Heat in front of the home crowd?

    Zo, Ewing, and Sprewell were fun to watch.

    Why is it that I can I turn on the History Channel and see video footage from a war that happened over 100 years ago that has better quality than a video that was made this century?
  • @rodprops
    Could someone please upload the '99 playoffs between the Knicks and Hawks?! Been looking for that series for years'!
  • 32 to 2 run! That's why I felt Van Gundy blew it. Charlie Ward really knew how to run this team. Yet Van Gundy would split the PG minutes between Ward and Childs.
  • Now that's how you play defense to win the game not today's game of jacking up 3 pt shots all the time they can keep it I'll take this type of basketball!

    1:33:44 Rick Brunson enters the court (Jalen Brunson's father) I wonder if little Jalen was at MSG that day.

    It’s nice to watch some basketball where they’re not blowing the whistle to every little contact. Bring this back.
  • Dudley,Camby,Johnson, Thomas,and Ewing …… Ward,Childs, Houston and Sprewell at the guards. Pretty good Knicks squad back in the day……
