As a kid Alonzo crushed me when he went to MIA. I felt like LJ, and took it personal. The Hornets was the first franchise I invested in as a fan. I was too young to understand the business side.
I was born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up. Sonics and Blazers fan. Japanese-American. So, you can see what time era I grew up in. I remember when both were hot young players.
They push narratives on people. For instance, they cause people to feel certain ways in order to distract people from what's really going on.. and it still happens today, just on a grander scale 💯
Because of no MJ or Barkley, it was the best in the game. You could just mug the other team with pushes, both could power dunk, Larry could hit 3's. They made them way better than they were in real life.
@@jbug1979 haha, the defender can jump to the 5th floor and block shots, hard to shoot. So i thought players good at dunking and rebounding is more useful in NBA JAM
I remember as a kid that’s what I looked forward to during the playoffs 😂 you can count on Alonzo Mourning, John Starks, Charles Oakley , SOMEBODY was gonna fight! 😂 I miss these days
Big Chief taken 8th in 76 and played till 1997.. Worked till he couldn't work then tried to work a few more years in the paint when Billy ball was the NBA . Tough dude 🍻✌️
@@robertlomein983 they made peace in the 2001 season, even shook hands after Mourning was diagnosed with his kidney disease...LJ also said in an interview years later they're not boys or anything, but there's no grudges and they speak when they see one another
Gotta love Van Gandy running just to grab Mourning's leg to stop the fight... And watch carefully as Mourning has a look down saying "what the fuck is on my leg" lol! 7:22
@@scarykurapika100yago2 You're not allowed to come off of the bench during an altercation. Those suspensions were deserved. It sucks, but rules are rules.
Back when LJ and Mourning was playing on the Hornets they were both no.1 caliber players. Especially LJ was much better player on the Hornets before he injured his back.
Man every team needs an Oakley! I used loved Oakley! Saw how fast Oakley got between LJ and Zo when Zo was about to hit him. Oakley gave Zo a quick elbow
I love Jeff Van Gundy 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 marv albert Jeff Van gundy mark jackson my favorite nba commentators of all time and I like the dude that be like BANNNNGGG 😂😂😂
I used to babysit Alonzo, I taught him everything he knows JP, I did make him tough though, but he was so quiet as kid never thought he would make it this far until he went to Georgetown and then I said oh yeah 😅👍 💪
The only reason they started tightening up wasn’t because of the players complaining it was the fans crying thugs. But the media knows how to brainwash their minions 😂
tf man, you have left half of the plays and fights out. 1997 playoffs game 6, you have an indifferent play, where is LJ's reverse layup?? Where's game 4, where's the 1999 playoff fight?? There's even available footage from NCAA! You must be a Zo fan in this, right??
The Knicks averaged their loss last year during that time as the heat sent them home thanks to the suspension of the Knicks key players. The Knicks got them back as Alonzo Mourning was the one who got suspended and the Knicks took advantage and won the series.
Oakley is gangsta was always in the middle of every fight that involved his teammate. Okaley is a stand up guy for his team mate. NBA defense today is soft. That would be suspension in today's NBA.
I wanna know when ppl literally don’t get along and always this PHYSICAL like this these 2, why are they ALWAYS paired together to gard each other?? This is different, you can tell they just can’t stand each other and throwing cheap 👊🏿 Shots constantly. Is it impossible to put them with someone else? Kinda hard to focus on the game when your always trying to whoop your enemies ass. These 2 have no clue where the basketball 🏀 is on the court. They see each other as the basketball 🏀 and trying to bounce the shit out of each other. Good tv though 🤓
90s NBA was awesome. An era where superstar players wanted to play against each other and actually win. Where The Knicks, Jazz and Pistons wanted to beat the Bulls instead of guys like Malone or Ewing wanting to get traded to be on Jordans team. There was actual competition back then. Nowadays a player has a bad game they get all whiney and bitch and moan to play with another superstar player to form an allstar starting squad gtfoh. Or not play because they have the flu. Jordan scored like 45pts in a game when he had the flu. Pr Kobe tore hos Achilles and still got up to shoot free throws. NBA players today get carted off the court due to a boo boo and wont play the next 10 games smdh. No one plays defense anymore either.
I know swinging wide like a girl. He must have used his size advantage and athleticism in the boxing ring because I don't think you can forget how to properly punch @@ejd7881
This is when the NBA was fantastic! !
As a kid Alonzo crushed me when he went to MIA. I felt like LJ, and took it personal. The Hornets was the first franchise I invested in as a fan. I was too young to understand the business side.
I was devastated when Zo left for Miami too. I liked LJ and Zo together. Too bad they couldn’t coexist.

I understand how i feel but $100M to go play in Miami, u gotta understand that.
Also the coaches are really tough on those era💪
Man basketball was fun then! These were the days!!
Sorry but this wasn’t fun. It basically ruined the season for Miami heat. Since mourning got suspended for the deciding game 5.

This is the most hilarious thing I’ve ever seen - Jeff Van Gundy was all on Alonzo Mourning’s leg, oh my god 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Good thing for him it's Zo and not Draymond 🦶
He had a tight grip too
Shameful! Regrettable!
In the movies Van Gundy is the guy who sacrifices his life to stop the bad guy\monster and it makes no difference...Vegeta

Today, that "good hard foul" would be a flagrant 3! 😂
Does it get any better than the theme song for NBA on NBC? Man that takes me back!
The 90s were the best in NBA. All the superstars were there playing together
I would say late 70s to late 90s. After the internet, it’s become a self-centered circus of posing.
Larry &Alonzo are most likely cool as hell with each other nowadays
I seriously doubt it! That grudge runs really deep, bruh!

Jeff van dumby😂 looking like the security guard off of scary movie with Marlon Wayons when the guy who said he got some poofy😂
Nba from 90 to 2010 wow... those 20 years were the best ever.
I love this old game.The organ playing.Loud!Physical
100% my favorite player vs player rivalry....!
Back in the days when the true basketball players would not back down to a fight. These days players would just fake a foul.
Gotta love Van Gandy running just to grab Mourning's leg to stop the fight... And watch carefully as Mourning has a look down saying "what the fuck is on my leg" lol! 7:22
I love this Game back then....
If not for Jordan and The Bulls, that Miami Heat team would have gone to the Finals at least once. No question.
If not for RIGGED games
Lol Miami sucked they couldn't beat the Knicks without those suspensions in 97.. Bulls almost swept them, they had no business being in the ECF
@@TheRichieHicksJrSportsPodcast No it was P.J. Brown and David Stern 😂 , without those bullshit suspensions Knicks would've beaten Miami in 6.

@@tevinsherrill5653 yeah it's a dumb rule too.. suspensions should be based on actions in the whole altercation
I used to make sure to tune in everytime the Heat played the Knicks. How did I completely forget they were teammates in Charlotte?
I never forgot they used to be teammates in the Charlotte Hornets because I played NBA Jam on the Super Nintendo.
80s-90 and even right before Kobe and Duncan retired were the best b-ball I have ever seen.
That's a 35 year span lol...
Lol bro you just named like 3 generations of basketball
10:37 Larry Johnson was on his way to a solid triple-single.
😂😂
Two of my favorite players
I will never forget when Jeff Van Gundy went after Mourning 🤣🤣. At least he had heart..
4:45 I screamed so hard I almost puked Doritos and beer! What are you doing, coach?!
Alonzo Mourning Hornets rookie jersey was my first ever jersey.
I can see JVG saying don't hold me back!!! Don't hold me back!!! To Oakley and Ewing lol😅😅😅
Charles Oakley : "boss what are you doing on the floor"
they both wanted to be #1 during the hornets im guessing ..
but neither are really no1 options
Back when LJ and Mourning was playing on the Hornets they were both no.1 caliber players. Especially LJ was much better player on the Hornets before he injured his back.
@@MARZOSIRUS if LJ is #1 calibre whats tim duncan, kobe, MJ
ALONZO WAS LUCKY BECAUSE LJ AS HIS OPPONENT WASN'T HALF THE PLAYER HE WAS AS HIS TEAMMATE
No he was still good af on the Knicks n went to the finals also the Knicks smacked the Heat every matchup post season in the 90s
That game #5 suspension cost Miami the series.
The year before Knicks suspensions cost them games 6 and 7.
Man every team needs an Oakley! I used loved Oakley! Saw how fast Oakley got between LJ and Zo when Zo was about to hit him. Oakley gave Zo a quick elbow

If there was a social media on that time, I'm sure plenty of Zo-LJ memes would appear... It's either funny or ridiculous...
4:40 poor Jeff Van Gundy
Safe to say those two did not like each other. Probably still don't in 2021
I remember this like yesterday… Mourning was flailing like a B and LJ was squaring up like he’s been in the ring before
LJ has been in the ring before. He used to box but u wouldn’t be able to tell from this video. It looks like he can’t throw a proper punch
One thing I can tell you is that Van Gundy has a lot of ❤ 😂
Neither could land a single punch...
Just like you keyboard warrior
One of the greatest swings and misses in a fight you will ever see
I used to babysit Alonzo, I taught him everything he knows JP, I did make him tough though, but he was so quiet as kid never thought he would make it this far until he went to Georgetown and then I said oh yeah 😅👍 💪
Love this era. Knicks basketball. LJ Oak ewing starks childs. They are warriors.
Losers you mean. They didn’t win or accomplish a single thing.
Oh wow, check it out, it’s actual MEN playing basketball. Today, the NBA stands for the “National BOYS Association”
Sad but true.
Larry from the hood in Dallas. Fighting is a pasttime

You can tell Mourning can’t fight worth af
I wouldn’t put my money on that lol. That dude was a monster lol
They were both punching fresh air
you're not very educated. read about his upbringing sometime. he'd throttle Oakley and Johnson any day
Van Gundy was at 6 flags again and loving it 😅
At 9:07 Oakley pulls Johnson out of the way then gives Mourning a forearm in the jaw.😂. Gotta love Oak

C'mon!!! My grandmama can fight better than that lol
Heat vs Knicks was NASTY for a couple years.
Jeff Van Gundy getting lost in the sea of bodies and coming out will never get old
Anytime Zo had an altercation, Oakley and PJ Brown always ended up on the scene 😂
Good ol days!
Gundy what a dope !!
Johnson became Zo's pebble in his shoe
Oakley is gangsta was always in the middle of every fight that involved his teammate. Okaley is a stand up guy for his team mate.

LJ and Zo swung multiple times and never made contact. If you are going to get suspended, get your money's worth. Van Gundy...LMBO.
I know we Zo was like balki,where's cuzn larry??
Alonzo Mourning is son of Larry Johnson!
That's right boys let them hands go!
i remember lj from those great duke unlv games ...
Thats was real Basketball and fight too 😅
Can’t get enough of Van Gundy’s hair after that fight. He looked like a reject version of Larry Fine.
- These 2 were teammates in Charlotte.
What was Jeff doing lol?
fold ..? (ur stand..?)
Larry Johnson was a bully
LJ been a punk since day 1. Nobody liked him and bc of his attitude he didnt live up to what couldve been. He was a great talent
Yea this was real basketball.... yea man this physical BASKETBALL PLAY man, luckily players weren’t actually tryna fight and just play basketball man
Stfu
Zo was such a hot headed baby... Always seemed to be bitchin about something
Upon further review, I do dare say that Larry Johnson was picking on Alonzo Mourning...
Teammates with the Hornets
