It's still mindboggling that Shaq and Patrick Ewing never faced off against each other in the playoffs. 1995 was the closest chance that they got but the Knicks just HAD to choke against Indiana....
Contrary to appearances, Patrick Ewing, a player gifted with small hands, has developed a very wide range of versatile moves, making him a great NBA center.
I’m not watching this man this is sad because NY Knicks had worked so hard 92-95 beaten by jordan. By this time in 1996 they was beaten up. New young team of penny and shaq were taking over. From buffalo ny my dad was tall and a Pat Ewing fan. I was a kid and shaq was god but I wanted shaq to take it easy on pat Ewing every time.
A well past his prime Ewing playing a prime O’Neal to a standstill. It still amazes me people think O’Neal was better than Ewing. If a shot Ewing could do this, imagine what a 1989 or 90 version would have done lol
Ewing at that stage still had the physicality to deal with 1996 Shaq. The Shaq from 2000 or so would have overpowered prime Ewing like he overpowered most players. Ewing can only score so many jumpers, when it comes down low to Shaq he's just going to bulldoze Ewing out of the way and score. Not a knock on Ewing, that's just what Shaq did to most people.
@@R.POliver Shaq always got neutralized by versatile Cs that had PF moves. They didn't just shoot jumpers they could take the ball to the basket from out there too, besides Cs that had an outside shot meant he was less effective as a team defender inside. Most of the bigs he "dominated" didn't have the offense run through them like that in the first place, when he has to guard someone that also gets a lot of touches obviously that cancels him out on offense.
@@R.POliver People seem to forget that standard PFs weren't good matchups for him so it's no surprise Cs that could also play the PF position had similar results.
Thank you for including the NBA on NBC intros it's the cherry on top for these videos of games from the golden era of the NBA.
👍
Hearing all three commentators (Albert, Guokas and Bill Walton (RIP))- was something else on NBC.
Marv was the best, Walton was hilarious and I really liked Guokas, wasn't annoying and had great basketball knowledge and a good sense of humor.
Great highlights. And what a great era.
👍
Ewing and Shaq would frequently have big scoring games vs each other.
I luved when Orlando and NY matched up from the 94-96 era. It's a shame they neva met from 94-96. 95 shoulda been the year in the ECF that year

And maybe they do if Shaq never left Orlando though?
@@freakyfornash the Knicks and the Magic never ever met in the NBA playoffs during the Jordan era both 1st and 2nd
@@RuruLG0419 Yeah I know. A 1995 Conference Finals matchup between the two teams would have been epic, which came oh so close to happening, if only.
Two big men- real hoops
You don't see centers battling like this anymore
Another great one, thank you!
👍
Another outstanding battle at center, but the O-Rena was so hard to win at for a good two year stretch for most opponents. Nice upload!

Knicks first year with the new away unis that had the black stripes on the sides.

He only had a couple of moves, which is why Shaq figured him out. Shaq talk about Ewing's limited moves alot on shows
NBC aired quite a few Magic vs Knicks games and then aired multiple Lakers Knicks games after Shaq went to LA

Where’s the full game??? What a time
Шак на удивление хорошо пасовал из сдвоенной защиты
Bigs today are a joke …
The nerve of these guys to not do dribble hand offs and shoot 3's. They should be a shamed of themselves lol

2000 Shaq would destroy 1990 Ewing. Pat would have to shoot all jumpers

It was a good battle, but I think Ewing outplayed Shaq. Shaq couldn't shoot over Ewing, and Ewing was able to shoot over Shaq.
