Ewing was a great player
As a huge Bulls fan of the 90s, I miss the Knicks' play from this era. Mad respect for that squad.
Knicks fan here I miss the old East so much even 2010s East was lit Knicks Bulls Heat Pacers Celtics Sixers used to be amazing to watch
It’s so unfortunate how people overlook Patrick Ewing today. He finished an MVP voting top 5 6 times in his career. The MVP voting is a better system to determine who were the top five players that season and not the whole NBA team that’s position base. This is a fact Ewing is the most underrated player on both sides of the court in nba history!
please tell me how you feel about 5 all star selections in 17 and a half years belonging to reggie miller and him coming in at 13th for mvp in 2000
please tell me how you feel about 11 all star selections in 16 and a half years belonging to the 1986 rookie of the year patrick ewing and in 1993 the #4 candidate for mvp was patrick ewing
the best playoff years for patrick ewing were #1 1993 #2 1992 #3 1990 and #4 1994 in 13 and a half years 7 all star selections went to the 1993 2nd place candidate for rookie of the year star alonzo mourning and he was #2 for mvp in 1999 and #3 in 2000 with the nba no longer having legends like jerry west larry bird magic johnson michael jordan kareem abdul-jabbar oscar robertson bill russell and wilt chamberlain
Man Ewing was awesome in this game!
When he had it going, it was beauty to watch
Ewing was awesome, period.
When they try to make the argument about certain players of today who could play in this era, show them this game and that list disappears!
Hilarious you think dudes built like giannis and lebron could play in the 90s that’s actually hilarious
Couldn’t*
@@davidjackson9680 I’ll give you Giannis, because of his old school mentality and toughness as well as physic, not LeFlopp!…who else?!!
@@SoliGloria1 LMAOOO flopping isn’t being soft they only do it to draw fouls lebron would barrel past dudes in the 90s imagine not knowing why they flop😂😂 but yeah I have some Kawhi, giannis,lebron,Kevin durant,embiid those are all big strong mfs
@@SoliGloria1 I’m crying you really don’t know why they flOP LMAOOOO
This series and my Pacers are the only teams to take Jordan to 7
During their championship years, yes. The Bulls took the Pistons to 7 in 1990, but lost the game.
The no call by the ref was beautiful we need that more in today’s game
'92 and '99 were my favorite Knick teams.
This series was a defensive masterpiece. My fav Bulls/Knicks series. If the Knicks would've kept the core of this team in place, they may have won it all in 1993.
You are not wrong.
Who did they let go ?
@@GMQuay Xavier McDaniels to F. Agency and Mark Jackson in a trade for Charles Smith.
I truly felt they would have won it. X-Man and MJ #13. This team was so awesome and worked the best together. But front office, or whoever, fucked up.
@@RsbrooklynI mean why get rid of mark jackson like are you kidding me? him and starks couldn’t be one of the dangerous guard duo of the 90’s? fuckin Knicks front office
When NBA basketball was real....
real hoops right here. remember this game so vividly. I was 18
Ewing owned the center's of Chicago, Jordan owned the guards of new York, great epic battles ( back in the damn days miss em )
Eli - I agree with you 100%... this was great basketball ...
Eli, out of all the Bulls centers during the Jordan era, in your opinion, which one of them defended Ewing the best?
@@edmondlau511 scottie pippen 😁, real talk
Ewing was too soft to own shit.
@@elicarson1040 he sure did. I remember Marv Albert making the call “now Ewing going at Pippen!” That’s how great of an overall defender Pippen was. Ewing’s baseline fadeaway was deadly.
MJ Goat
This demonstration shows when you have a big man guard in the paint. Not like today's NBA with it's lovely and friendly 3 second rule violation. Great video. I so miss the 90s.
That’s my main isssue to why people complain about center play like uhhhhh the defensive 3 second killed that shit
Forced dudes to space out
Loved my Knicks! They just couldn’t win that pivotal game in Chicago when they needed to!
Only if Ewing wasn't so soft and actually became a dog but he's just a 🐩
Patrick was dominant that game. He outplayed Jordan and that's a rarity. 😮 He attacked their interior defense and didn't settle for long perimeter shots.👌I remember Chamberlain saying Ewing bails out the defense constantly settling for jumpers. If Patrick played like this more often against the Bulls, they would've had more success.👍 Imagine that?!😏
This is exactly why some feel the championship Rockets team would've been a huge problem for the Bulls. The Knicks didn't have the shooters or athleticism they did and were a pretty tough matchup, imagine the Rockets who were a more versatile version of the Knicks.
Agreed. Although Cartwright did a great job on Ewing, l agree completely.
He took plenty of long shots in this game. It was his strength, more so than his post up game.
We all know how historically great Michael Jordan is. I heard from some players around the league. There was only one player who put a level of trepidation, if not a sense of doubt and concern in him. That one player was Hakeem Olajuwon. I'll add this, had Jordan not retired the first time, the Bulls would've won 4 straight titles. They would've beaten Houston in the 94 Finals. However, the Rockets in 95, with the addition of Clyde Drexler would've dethroned the Bulls. That would happen due to the inability to guard Hakeem and all the perimeter shooting that they had. It would've been a pick your poison kind of scenario. That's how good the Rockets were in 1995.👍
Ewing outplayed Jordan the entire 1993 western conformance finals series for the most part!
The Brilliance of MJ still astounds me! On DEFENSE, MJ is all over Greg Anthony and John Starks who are attacking all night. That must be exhausting even if he is peak prime age. On OFFENSE, Anthony, Starks are as aggressive and as physical as it can ever get without going into beat down territory of Bad Boys, the patience in MJs offensive game and decision making is 2nd to none. MJs supreme offensive skillset created insane angles for him and not rushing the moves is eclipcing and challenging NYKs insane physical and extremely quick defense led by young guns on perimeter anthony, starks etc. Notice, how Pippen in again no where to be found. When defense got crazy physical, just like kobe and lebron, pippen often got intimidated and fell thru. Its the likes of Magic, Bird and MJ that surivived and had the counter punch be it Phillys defense on Magic and Bird or Bad Boys defense on Magic and Bird amd MJ or NYK and bad boys defense on MJ.
Wow 6’2 John starks, mj is such amazing defender. Kobe or Lebron could not have guarded John starks
This was arguably the best Knick team of this decade, why they got rid of X-Man when he was giving Chicago defense all kinds of problems for Charles “hey lets miss five easy layups under the basket with the series on the line” Smith(?!) literally makes no sense
Even dumber was starting Smith at SF.
Losing Xavier cost the Knicks a title!!! He abused pippen
This is the Ewing and the Knicks time to win NBA championship.
Great game by Jordan and Ewing two all-time NBA Greats who had great battles dating back to college Jordan 31,6,3,3,1 and Ewing 34,16,5,6,1
This series was probably the hardest the Bulls ever had during the 6 championship run, including the finals.
Nah it was the 98 ECF against Indiana
@@mireiyokoyama1983 Nah I would say close but not quite because the Bulls never got behind in that Pacers series as far as games, and even had a 2-0 lead. They dropped the 1st game at home in the Knicks series and each team won back and forth until game 7.
@@Riles3152 98 pacers for sure. in game 7 it was close until maybe last minute.
@@goodvibrations6 na 1992
Looking back despite the Pacers going up 12 - 0 against the Bulls to start the game, there was no concern about the Pacers beating the Bulls in that 1998 ECF. The only thing I will say which is true, only the 1992 NY Knicks, 1998 Indiana Pacers & the 1998 Utah Jazz were the only teams that seriously challenged the Chicago Bulls during their back-to-back three-peats. I think game 5 of the 1993 ECF was the most intense game I've ever watched in the 1990's playoffs. I watched that game in a sports bar and Bulls & Knicks fans were on edge throughout that entire game.
4:53 look at the bulls bench reaction from beef patty cuttin up cartwright bum ass and then dunking it. lmao classic!
Ewing was my idol
This was a great, great series against a terrific Knicks team. Bulls win game 7 ... and go on to win it all.
The defense and man to man effort... sorely absent in this current era of the NBA. I miss these days of greatness on both sides of the court.
That insane old school defense and Ewing was dominating! That is a superstar, being grabbed and thrown and pushed and dropping buckets, today's NBA you body up it's a foul.
NBA back then was pure scotch, but for the game tonight we have.............. milk.
The NBA needs to go back on the 90s rules. Maybe we might get to see a game make the players earn their money
Ewing has his own shoe. Everybody was buyin' them in my hood.
Talk about intense, all this action was only 12 and a half minutes
Ewing was a problem
imagine him in todays game lol he would avg much more than in 90s
@@ziginaigra Alot of the Old School players would average way more. They all played against a REAL defense. Now? With that defense nowadays? Easy as hell for them.
It's crazy how we overlook and label Ewing as failure because of no championship. Many people talk about him like he was a complete bust like a Kwame Brown or Greg Oden when he was the complete opposite. As an 11 time All-Star he literally had the entire package and everything that makes a great center/player. Scoring. Rebounding. Defense. Tough. Mean. Was able to bang downlow but also had a sweet touch from the mid range. Talk about underrated and underappreciated! As others have mentioned of course he didn't win an MVP award but from 90-94 he was the top center in the league and was always in the running as a top MVP candidate as he should've been. While every other superstar had decent help and a second scorer Ewing had himself. And while yes Jordan got the best of him it wasn't like it was completely lopsided and a total blowout. Many times it was the Knicks vs. Bulls in a decisive close game 7 so it wasn't a walk in the park for Jordan and the Bulls. Each and every one of those series was a dog fight. Championship or no championship Ewing deserves his flowers!
Good Defense,each other.
Legit question. Wasn't 3:02 a travel?
God how I miss this era of basketball. Players today are so damn soft! Nobody plays defense anymore either. Look at playoff scores today 120-140….I mean really? Anyone even try anymore?
All of you old heads always fail to understand the players have nothing to do with it. The league changed their rules of defense, handchecking, 3 second rule, double teams. How can you expect players to not evolve and cater towards the modern nba rules?
@@Jinzify1 I know the NBA players of today are more entertaining and tougher and more competitive. Hahaha
i gotta say that was Real
If you want to know how hard MJ had to work during the early 90s playoffs, just look at the sweat dripping down on free throws. It's surprising NY did not beat the Bulls more often. They had to perfect match up against them. Unfortunately, prime MJ was there to stop them.
It’s not hard to sweat when your playing a basketball game
The Knicks weren't a consistent shooting team. That was the difference between them and the 1st championship Rockets team their C was an even more diverse scorer compared to Ewing and they had shooters.
It’s insane mj was able to put up these numbers. With today’s spacing and officiating I feel like he would average close to 40 for his career💯
Not with his weak ass 3 pt shot
@@johncena4096 Kobe shot 32.9% mj shoots 32.7% luka shoots 33.1% 🤣so these guys are just weak 3pt shooters and they can’t dominate
@@johncena4096 mj would be a quicker, more athletic and durable Kawhi Leonard 😂he could play the same way he did in the 90’s and he’d average 35 just because spacing alone not to mention no handchecking and big men aren’t allowed to camp in the paint anymore
@@johncena4096 who’s running a 4.3 with a 48’ vert 🤣and who would put a 6’6 guard on giannis who’s 6’11 wtf r u talking about ur point makes zero sense giannis isn’t a perimeter player and Scottie DIDNT guard the smaller quicker guards like Kobe Mitch Richmond ai ray allen penny hardaway he was switched on to magic who still averaged 19,8,12 and mj is still the better overall defender reason why he won a dpoy and Scottie didn’t
@@johncena4096 and who closes the games for bron if he doesn’t have kyrie and ray allen
7:37
j.stark that what and how jr would love any out might wear them who buy it.🚦
I might be dumb but can someone explain why this isn’t a travel 3:00
It is. He changed his pivot foot. NBA refs have always been laughingstocks when it came to traveling calls. Has really hurt the credibility of the league over the decades.
If MJ is not the GOAT NY would've won that series and if by any chance Ewing would've joined the BULLS i dont think they would've lost 1 game in the 90s....cause lets be honest here, the Bulls never had a good center!!!
The knicks also didnt have an all time great shooting guard
Tbh the Knicks were just beginning their run as a contending team they realistically weren't supposed to win this series. One thing I'll say though is the championship Rockets team from a few years later were a more versatile version of this Knicks team, it's now pretty easy to see why MJ has admitted he was glad the Bulls and Rockets never faced off.
shit i never liked Greg Anthony on the Knicks
Always a battle, can we just watch relpay games instead of watching the crap NBA now
Ewing had a good shooting touch, but his post moves are pretty robotic.
Which would make him ideal in today's NBA.
@@Hibbs4Prez he would be great today. And Hakeem would be winning like Bill Russell if he played today.
Using the jordan fanboy logic arguments of jordan losing in the 80s:"patrick ewing couldnt win because mj had better teams."
That's true to extent
Ewing couldn’t win because he choked. Aka 95 ECSF. Lost to a worse team and blew leads in 8 seconds to Reggie Miller.
The Brilliance of MJ still astounds me! On DEFENSE, MJ is all over Greg Anthony and John Starks who are attacking all night. That must be exhausting even if he is peak prime age. On OFFENSE, Anthony, Starks are as aggressive and as physical as it can ever get without going into beat down territory of Bad Boys, the patience in MJs offensive game and decision making is 2nd to none.

Its the likes of Magic, Bird and MJ that surivived and had the counter punch be it Early-80s Phillys defense on Magic and Bird or mid-80s Bad Boys defense on Magic, Bird amd MJ or late 80s, early-90s ,NYK and bad boys defense on MJ.
@Bee G yup, the Knicks were up 2-0 before the Bulls won 4 straight and went on to three-peat. Jordan haters are deluional.
When you are this dumb people will only make fun of your stupidity. Players like MJ and Ewing make their team better. You are a millenial so you're typing out of your S. Chicago was down by 2 before they went on a 4 game streak. Ewing and Mcdaniel played great and so did Starks. Phil made some adjustments and they got better. But you are as clueless as a lame casual who only knows about 2010's bball.
“Jordan is the beat defender in the nba” Yeah he can’t even guard Ewing, even magic but he’s the beat defender FOH
@jhncena4096 Ewing is a center you idiot and he guarded magic all the time
