90's New York Knicks APPRECIATION

[sneakerhead1988]

The Knicks of recent is NOTHING like the Knicks of old

They were the Beasts of the East and played on pure emotion... Sure MJ is like a God, especially during those times, but who can question the heart of PatrickEwing, John Starks, Anthony Mason, Larry Johnson or even Charles Oakley

I spent almost all of yesterday watching my Knicks Dynasty Collection DVD and was just moved... I remember being 5 yrs old watching the '94 Knicks gothrough the East and 2 the Finals against The Dream and the Houston Rockets... then being 10 yrs old and watching the '99 team do the unexpected and getback 2 the Finals only 2 succumb once again this time by the San Antonio Spurs

Sure we haven't won in 35 years, but if U were in NY during those times you can't help but have a soft spot in ur heart 4 those dudes

My favorite Knick team?

'94 Knicks *****!!!

The whole point of this is 2 appreciate the team itself... I LOVE basketball and the Knicks... as 4 us winning the title in the MJ era, it could'vehappened but it didn't... instead of hangin' my head, I'd like 2 appreciate those times when the Knicks meant something... I kno I am not the onlyone that watch the games now and wish our old team was representing us

And its funny U make those comments 0drama, cuz jus as I love the Knicks, I admire MJ also... him and Ewing R my fav players ever... I despised him when he was@ MSG but I had nothing but respect 4 dude... I even learned 2 appreciate Reggie

Sadly, he's not lying.

To not win a title with that core is a disappointment....appreciated nonetheless...but they left somethin to be desired.

We get it...the 90's Knicks were a nice team. Most NBA franchises have had their moments, yet the 90's Knicks always gotta be treated like they won 5chips and had 4 HOFers

I gotta admit I liked those teams though. Man I miss 90s NBA.

 

[CP1708]

There's like a new 90's Knicks thread every other week now. We get it, people liked the team, but how are they different then the Suns, or the Kings,or the Blazers, all teams that never won squat?

They were fun to watch, they were tough, but they had one hall of famer and a hof coach, nothing else.

I'm sorry to put it like that, but nothing I've said above is untrue.

Its an NY thing... we R loyal 2 our teams and sorta put them on a pedestal... but as 4 the 90s NBA comment, Im wit U brah

They had heart and I liked John Starks and them.

But...

Chicago FTW.

indeed

 

[seymore cake]

EVEN IN Y'ALL MOMENTS OF TRIUMPH Y'ALL WERE EMBARASSED

*****!!!!!!!!

 

[mjdalegend]

Mike Jordan literally owned that team but I don't blame Knicks fans still reminiscing them with the crap they have this decade.

Really, Y'all should be wishing he was never born...

Y'all would've had so many chips if it wasn't for Jordan...

Hell no, ain't nobody claiming MJ. I hate that sonuva... he ruined my childhood year after year. Why couldn't that bastard play in the WesternConference, at least we would have made the Finals at the very least. I thoroughly hate Michael J. Jordan.

 

[holler mcdollar]

lol @ this thread. as much as YOU love the team, that's fine... just don't expect anyone else to when they got destroyed year after year.

making an appreciation thread and having it backfire FTL

I can see that.

If I was from NYC, I'd probably never wear a pair of J's in my life word to my Lebron 2's collecting dusting

 

[illphillip]

I am born and raised and living in NYC for many years now.

No rings=no appreciation.

Y'all talking about Mike. Knicks got it from Mike, Scottie, Reggie, Olajuwon and a host of others.

I can't question the heart of Starks, Mason, Oakley, LJ, Derek Harper or whoever else.

But I can question the heart of Patrick Ewing.

Like everyone else in here said, it's cool if you're a fan, but it's really nothing to brag about. Mad teams make the playoffs and have great runs.

Great teams win rings.

 

[jstar25]

That Pippen Dunk up there is one of the nastiest dunks in NBA history... don't care who you are that was MAD FRESH... specially when he told Spike to sitdown!

So anyway... how you gonna appreciate the Knicks in the 90's... LOL

Only one team should be appreciated in the 90's above ALL others... BULLS!

It's sad when the only chance of feeling good about the Knicks comes in the form of this thread and everyone shoots it down... WOW!

Most teams did. Your favorite team would too.

I hated them I think they're the dirtest teams ever. However I think they are the one of the top 3 best defensive team and would be the best team in theNBA right now. I do respect them.

*****!!!!!!!!

i'll call that with...

PEACE

Y'all would've had so many chips if it wasn't for Jordan...

so true what coulda been

but anywhay of course i will appreciate my team through that whole decade. i love my hard working defending bois of the earlier years led by Pat, Oak, andStarks. no one worked harder than those 3. And all the way up to our miracle run in 99 with guys like Spree, H20, and Camby. All those teams just fought likedogs.

 

[mks33]

^ nah i wouldnt say "peace" to that.. starks jumped around our guys and pip straight hardbodied ewing.... then stood over him!

but yeah.. the 90's knicks were pretty good.. your team should have done it in 94.. i'm sure i don't have to bring up that game 7 peformance.
