The shot clock SHOULD have been on, fool. The Knicks took possession with more than 24 seconds left.
I was in the sixth grade the last time the Knicks went to the NBA finals. I remember watching these games with my parents, rest in peace. I have heard Mike Green for not days, weeks, months, years, but decades scream, bang for different teams when they won in the finals. I need to hear him do the same for the Knicks this season.
Rick Brunson!!!!!!
Brings back memories… I was 17 years old back then…
good game !
New York we’re back baby 😆
Peak Knicks Team 🏀💙🧡..
I that Brunson dad
Alan Houston pre-injury 1999 2000 2001 2002 better than Ray Allen and Reggie Miller and Paul Pierce. If not for his injury he would've been HOF.
That season is when I fell in love with the Knicks as a NYer and became a die hard fan as I was then old enough to understand basketball.
So many individual talents on this Knicks team: Ewing, Houston, Sprewell, Johnson all all-stars. Camby was such a force of energy that year. Then the PG duo of Childs and Ward being so solid. Several stars, but they all managed to share and spread the wealth when it came to taking over games. It seemed every game someone different was the difference-maker. The could have and almost did take game 5 against the Spurs. If Ewing were healthy, he would have been a major factor against Duncan and maybe they would have actually had a chance.
I was 9 years old during this run. Didn’t watch basketball at all. For some reason I did not like the Knicks but now I know why, those jerseys were disgusting 😂 😂 😂
My knickerbockers💯🧡💙🏀
Larry Johnson nba legend New York Knicks legend!!!
Nice run. But this was the beginning of the (L)astern Conference.
back in the days where real games were played by real nba players
You mean their run to the finals? If I remember correctly their actual finals run involved getting overpowered by a strong spurs team.
If Ewing wasn’t injured the finals could have gone to Game 7
plzzzz bring back retro jerseys for both teams, at least for one game if not the whole series .. Please
6:04 Mike Breen still calling the games
ngl i dont care who wins NY or Spurs, both worked hard, also I just love seeing teams who havent won in a while win big again
Dear NBA,
if this comment could do any good. Could you guys possibly move the grizzlies to Nashville so me and my family can go to a game without driving eight hours. And if we got there anyway it might be dark so it won't be safe. Please read this.

Camby was on beast that year.
Great video! Thanks! On a separate note Look at the empty seats and space @ the Hawks game. Thats how much NBA changed as a business. Today's players really owe a lot to these guys making the game more and more popular.
GO SPURS GO
GSG
Let’s NY 💙🧡💙🧡💙🧡
Damn. This Knicks team is stacked. Ewing had to go through his protégés
My favorite Knicks team
NBA More classic games
Notice no hawks knicks in the 2nd round 😂
GO SPURS GO!! Bring the noise and intimidation!! Seven Nation Army!! 🏀
Umm they lost the finals who cares about this?
Ewing would appear in the NBA finals again in 1999 but would not play due to injuries, however his efforts in the playoffs is what helped them reach this far.
Look at Rick Brunson there. That bloodline is leading NY to the finals again!

GO NY! GO NY! GO! 🧡💙🗽
That looked less like luck and more like control. Late-game composure really stood out.
