NBA On NBC - Knicks @ Heat 2000 Playoffs Deciding Game 7!

[annie]

Every time these two teams played, it was like the NBA Finals

[MijaelTrigo]

Damn that NBA on NBC always gets me going

[tech-no-logictech]

Look at these players. You have everything, from veteran leadership, the athleticism, the shooting, the physicality, the rivalry, the seriousness! A lot of these things are missing in today's game!

[tech-no-logictech]

Damn. So much quality on the court.
Mourning, Ewing, Spree, Hardaway, Johnson, Mashburn, Majerle, Houston, Ward, Childs, Thomas, PJ Brown, Thorpe, Weatherspoon. A guy like Bruce Bowen played only 12 minutes a game.

Anyone else miss those late 90's early 00's NBA jerseys???? Those joints were straight 🔥💯 I'm bout to get me a NY Knicks away jersey any day now

[stojanzjajic]

Man, i'm watching this and crying😢
Today's NBA can't be compared to this level of competitiveness

[Leonard_Wilson]

It sucks seeing Ewing past his prime. With that said, I miss physical basketball like this.

Last stand for the late 90s Heat/Knicks playoff rivalry, they wouldn't meet again in the postseason until 2012.

The Heat and Knicks had quite the rivalry from 1997-2000.

[tech-no-logictech]

Look at Majerle contesting all those Allen Houston shots. But people act like he was a "plumber". He is almost 35 years old here.

Mis amados Knicks 💯, nos dieron tantas alegrías, y eso que ahí ya no estaba Starks ni Oakley!la intensidad, los uniformes, los tenis 😊, nada de tenis rosas con amarillo 🤢, nada de puro triple a lo loco, como no extrañar esa época de jugadores de respeto. Al final la cara de Pat Riley 😅.

[OrionOodama]

After this game, Pat Riley went into a massive overhaul while kept Mourning and Hardaway untouchable.
The Heat traded for Eddie Jones, Anthony Mason, and Brian Grant.

Problem was, health (Zo's kidney), youth and athleticism had caught up with the Heat the next year.
Charlotte Hornets pulled a lopsided upset in sweeping fashion, and seemed satisfying to ex-Heat Mash and PJ Brown.

The last hurrah of that brief but white hot 4 year rivalry

[NeonPolygons]

wow i already knew the outcome but just watching this version just kept me on the edge of my seat!

[omniultima]

The way they played back then was beautiful, not 90% of the pick & roll like today's games.

[TheRealJayson]

Ewing was 37 at this time; still a dominant force

[CWKlp.]

KNICKS OWNED THEM AND ATE THEIR BREAKFAST, LUNCH, AND DINNER IN THOSE YEARS AND I LOVED IT!!!

[rooseveltdarbey]

The Knicks beat the Heat 3 out of 4 years in this playoff rivalry. If it wasn't for that fight and suspensions in 1997 it would have been 4 straight.

[AllenjayMesina-foig]

I remember watching this on tv game when I was 12 years old it's a very intense game

[redpillfreedom]

To this day it boggles the mind that Clarence Weatherspoon took the final shot for Miami. Terrible execution.
