@@menantbaptiste3080 no you can't for 94 and 95
Riley had called the same exact play earlier that was the last shot of the game. On that play, Olajuwon rotated away from Starks and Starks drained the 3. When the Knicks tried it again on the last play, Olajuwon learned his lesson and stayed with Starks, therefore the block.
Two of the greatest NBA teams of the 90s, going at it in the NBA Finals.
I can think of at least one better team.
@@jedison2441 the BULLS
@@webking185Not without MJ.
Only one team was great. The other was trying to rough house like the Pistons and make it. Total fail!
I still cry over this. Thank g-d the Rangers brought us glory that year. Still waiting for a knicks championship. Its been 50 yrs since they one chip.
Blame it on starks for messing up.
At least it went to Houston, who up till then had never won a major sports title. New York at least has the Yankees and other teams.
@@Noin007 it was heartbreaking being a Houston sports fan. The Rockets had lots of good, but not great teams. The Oilers always found a way to cough it away. The Astros were almost criminally mismanaged. Even the phi slamma jamma Cougars with Olajuwon and Drexler under the incomparable Guy V Lewis couldn’t win the big one. When the Rockets finally broke through in ‘94 it was like a cloud lifted from the city. It was amazing when the Astros finally won the series, but the bloom came off that rose pretty quickly…
@@ericdaniel323 I still remember watching that title run with my dad when I was little, truly a great time in sports.
@@Noin007 were you in Houston? I always listened to the games on the radio to hear Gene Peterson’s wonderfully biased announcing. During the finals, I got sick of Walton and just watched on mute with the radio on. You’re right - it really was a magical run.
Starks was on fire in this game. Making it everywhere on the floor.
Until he had the worst game 7 by an allstar in nba history the next game
@@Supermariohoops24 you’re right. He almost single handedly lost game 7. I remember thinking why are they still letting him shoot when others having a hot hand that night
@@kl6911 I don’t know man, hindsight is 20/20 though… I probably would’ve rolled with Starks myself if I was the coach. I mean, what were the alternatives? Put in Rolando Blackman who hadn’t played a single minute the entire series? Or Hubert Davis who was young, inexperienced and had only played a few minutes in the entire series. I think you roll with your best player, it just didn’t work out on this night.
That was a miss communication on 8:54 tf was that pass lol by starks
@@kl6911 The Knicks had no real shot of winning G7 regardless, they had to win this game and Starks had 16 of the Knicks 22 points in the 4th. Ewing didn't score at all in that quarter which gets completely overlooked.
Rocket's defense heart won them this game
Especially Olajuwon
@@hectorlopez1069 of course with that buzzer bitter BLOCK in the end he saved the rockets series from losing the Finals what a great moment in Rockets and NBA finals history
Starks shot was going in.
WAS*
It would have gone in if it wasn't for Olajuwon.
i wish it was Ojawon guarding him, any smaller guy and that shot would have went in...
Starks had that shot and what a game! This Knick team deserved a title! Still can't believe Starks didn't take the shot here: 8:52
The BEST final in history nba !!!!
After 3-2, the Knicks thought it would be easy to finish.. They forgot this Team of the Rockets, they were Strong at home !
You can bet on that.
Are you on medication
Dream jumped off the wrong foot to deflect Starks's shot too.
i remember watching, and wanted that shot to fall so bad for Starks.
RIP Mr Mason
This was the only chance the Knicks would of won the NBA championship.
What a game, what a series!!!
Come on ! Eliie, Smith , Horry, Olajuwan,Cassell, and Maxwell as sixth.Then you got Starks, Ewing,Harper, Mason and my boy Oakly. Squads!!! Squad's!!! Squads!!!!
I'll give you Horry, but Kenny Smith wasn't anything, and Cassell Maxwell and Ellie were just your run of the mill players, although Ellie had a good year in 95. This team was basically Olajuwon and Horry. The Knicks had a much better cast on paper although that doesn't necessarily mean you have the better team.
@@austinlittke7688 Maxwell was the Rockets primary playmaking guard while Cassell and Elie were quality starters coming off the bench you're definitely underrating them. The majority of Horry's shot attempts had to be set up for him the Rockets rarely ran the offense through him.
@@austinlittke7688 Otis Thorpe was an important part of that first championship.
@@elbertbass9259 The championship team with Drexler that used the small ball forward lineup wouldn't have matched up as well with the Knicks. They were similar to the Sonics with their SFs also being PF type players.
If that John Starks potential buzzer beating 3-pointer goes in, the narrative and view of Patrick Ewing's legacy would have been so much different.
Ewing best of all time in my book!
This series was such a great almost mirror match of teams.
Rockets with a little more offense (15th offensive rating vs Knicks' 16th)
And Knicks with a little more defense. (1st defensive rating vs Rockets' 2nd)
The Rockets defensive numbers were actually pretty impressive considering they were in the conference with more uptempo scoring teams the East was more defensive minded.
I have never had any doubt that the Starks title winning 3 is going in without the block. Thought that then and still do.
Wish that Starks made that series winning buzzer beater to bring the ring to the knicks
Thank God Olajawon tipped it, I was driving a passenger from Bush Intercontental Airport to Greenspoint
when this happened, I was listening t o game on the radio , rocket radio announcer went crazy, wr would go on to win game 7.
6 ring Horry, the player you want in the playoffs.
I remember I was pulling for Patrick Ewing this year
Only NBA Finals in the 1990s that went the full seven games
Ewing is getting 40 20 10 in today's game. I'm frightened to think what hakeem would do to it
Rockets were no better team then the Knicks ... Pat Riley blew the whole thing
The Rockets bench was the difference they were pretty consistent and reliable late in games, not just this series but in general.
wahhh!
In hindsight he should've pumped fake
he could of. great recovery by olajuwon!
He probably saw Hakeem slip and thought he wouldn't be able to recover in time to contest the shot.
Even with a pump fake Olajuwon may not bight, and he only had so much time on the clock
4:14 Harper cooked Kenny Smith's ankles 😆
World Meta Peace could of helped us in this game but I think he was still in school. St Vincent's in the house. I left in 1993 transfered to a state school in Albany NY
Cassell and Smith were original splash brothers. Drexler was the old Durant. Because he came after they won a championship already
You mean Smith and Maxwell, Cassell was a rookie that season and is mostly remembered for his clutch 3pointer that helped the rockets to win game 3 @MSG
Ellie?
All I can remember is OJ Simpson!
That was game 5 but yeah that’s all I can think of when I see this series. 🚔🚔🚔🚔🚔
My dad took his new family to meet starks and Frazier to shoot baskets at the Garden I was so jealous of my little sister who I only met once around 2011 my dad made his wife Lauren wait outside. Boy my dad is a strange one Jim Fox
Starks should of done a pick and roll to Ewing. Ewing would of dunked it and it would of gone to overtime!
3:05 Nice split!
If starks shot was good. Ewing and Olajuwon both won 1 champ title.
Around this era someone told me that John Starks was the fastest player in the NBA true or false?
John Starks with the most important shot of his life and he choked
He didn't choke. It's not like he missed a wide-open shot or something, or blew free throws. The MVP and Defensive Player of the Year that year blocked his shot. Hakeem is (IIRC) the only player in NBA histor to win MVP, DPOY, Finals MVP, and a NBA title in the same season.
Should have gone for the 2 pointer.
superstar describes patrick ewing and legend describes hakeem olajuwon
The Knicks had 3 more pts to become champion but blew it
They never showed the damn score back in the day. So annoying.
Who beat Jordan this year I don't think we played them in the playoffs that year was he playing baseball?🎉
Yea, he was hiding from Dream.
And the Rockets were down 0-2 to the Suns in the 2nd round?l
John Starks is the main reason the Knicks lost the series. 2/19 in game 7 and then going for the 3 at the end of this one. Even for a good three point shooter, it’s a lower percentage shot than a two. They should have played it safe.
Easy to say from a spectators point... Ewing was denied of a basket in the 4th quarter which clearly was no offense interfierence... And the 3 at the end of the game could also had been a foul and making 2 or 3 points from the stripe is also not "safe" starks was a hero in game 6 but game 7 Riley was the looser because he should have replaced starks
A little unfair. He was the reason they were in Game 6 at all... but yes, he bombed in Game 7. He was a streaky player, you kind of had to take the great play with the occasional cold streak.
I remember this series well. While Riley's Knicks were always thought of as a tough team, this whole series I was really only afraid of one guy -- Starks. He could get hot and win a game singlehandedly.
akosh33 Yeah he was a fluke
No it was because Rockets defense won this game you need more basketball knowledge
Aldine Westfield Well it was that too. Sorry I didn’t go over every single detail of the game. I’ve been watching the NBA for 30 years. You’d be surprised how much I know.
MJ was watching this in retirement like what’s game 7?
While playing baseball.
Mk don’t go too game 7 because he lost haha
@@castlewoods4753 MJ never had to play game 7 in the finals, he already won the series. Check the facts boi
They fought the Knicks until game 7 in 1992
@@Simplemology Yeah again that wasn’t the Finals.
This series in a nutshell:
"Ewing, the trailer, STOPPED BY OLAJUWON!"
"And Hakeem hits..."
Still a Knicks fan til this day gotta love the Knicks and my city new York gritty city
