1995 NBA Playoffs ECSF Game 7 - Pacers & Knicks Intros

[@VeN0m88]

Chanting DEFENSE before the introduction... That's the 90s toughness that is so far in the rear view mirror..sadly. But what a time and I'm thankful to been apart of that era.

Facts

[@jamw8022]

yup, so glad to have seen this first hand too. love watching the old intro's... I'd rather watch a Knicks game from 94 or 95 than a current one.. Went to Knicks games in the 90s, and went to one in 2017...just wasn't the same...

[@CWKlp.27]

Love those times. Knicks games were the best at the Garden.

Harden would be averaging well over 40 in that weak era.

Hardcore fans back in the 90s!

[@jamw8022]

it's sad seeing that image of the Twin Towers in the first moment of this clip....but I LOVE the rest of it... will never get enough of these old openings

[@Printer0011]

Let's start a petition and bring this intro back!

[@mucielago619]

I can’t stress this enough. We need this intro for 2021 playoffs.

[@Equint77]

2 things, (1)bring back those home warm up suits and (2)for the love of god bring back that intro song. The garden hasnt felt the same since.

[@jakejp74]

We also need to bring back someone like Pat Riley, John Starks, Charles Oakley, Patrick Ewing because they ain't coming thought that door any time soon

[@jamw8022]

uh yeah...went to games in the 90s saw this intro, and later on they used the ODB mariah fantasy "new york in the house.." in 2017 when I went the last time, they used RTJ legend has it...just not the same, not as good a team, not the excitement, just fell flat for me

[@michaellee7885]

Bring back the players too! Management keeps rotating cupcakes on & off the NYK roster for the last 25+ years

[@Brooklyn.tone7]

This still gives me chills

[@chubbsbully7198]

May 14, 1995. Game 7 of the 1995 NBA Eastern Conference Semifinals. Indiana Pacers @ New York Knicks. Man what a game.

[@Salvatore1268]

The all time single most devastating sports loss i ever had was this game

[@goldenstatewarriors4011]

It was Game 7

For me it was 1993 game 5 vs the Bulls. Charles Smith nuff said

NBA was so much better back then omg. The black shoes and shaved heads for Knicks Playoffs! Miss those times

[@lousanto1054]

This New York Knicks era actually mirrors the Detroit Tigers' era of 2006-2014. 2 World series appearances, numerous playoff berths, and super stars who couldn't quite get it done, but great teams and players nonetheless. The Knicks played in several Conference Finals series, winning then in 1994 and 1999, and were stalwarts. The Tigers made it to 4 ALCS, winning 2. (I think the Knicks made it to 4 ECF, winning 2 as well). Very scary how similar the success levels of these teams, over a similar time span, was.

[@briancusack4386]

Lou Santo: Great analogy. Both teams had great coaches/managers as well. The Tigers had Jim Leyland. The Knicks had Pat Riley and Jeff Van Gundy.

[@tigerqueen007]

I've always loved the intro song!

[@Ramenshea83]

The NBA all stars avoiding the Knicks is not because of ownership, it's because they don't have heart to compete in the garden and accept the challenge of being a knick. Much respect to carmello and Amare.

[@holzman00]

Not true, but I see what you’re saying.

[@larric1798]

if the Knicks finally get back to the playoff this year, we should have played this theme. Imagine this: at froward 6-8 from Kentucky, Number 30, Julius Randleeee! it will be amazing!!!

[@Idk10295]

Faaaacts 💯

[@georgediaz5522]

It's 2023 And the Knicks are in the Eastern Conference Semi-finals against the Miami Heat. This is what should be playing.

[@Eperez27]

The loss to the rockets in the finals the year prior hurt. As a 15 year old, 1995 was my first full season watching every Knick game and really becoming a NYK fan for life. I was fortunate enough to go to game one against the pacers and the garden was electric! Soon the cheers became gasps after Reggie miller “the rat”, as my mom would call him pulled off 8 points in 8.9 secs to ruin the win. I always thought the Knicks would be them and ultimately go back to the finals after only Orlando stood in the way and get revenge on the Rockets. However, the worst pain I ever felt in all my 45 years was in this game 7. Watching it on TV, I had to turn away and started to cry. It was so painful, I just couldn’t express how it felt to me. It’s been a long time coming, now 30 years since they made the finals but I have always continued to be a Knick fan for life.

[@DL212]

Oracle arena aint got shit on the garden. That defense chant BEFORE tip is intimidating as shit.

[@Paul-wu7xd]

Back in the 1990s, when the Knicks were fighting for Eastern Conference supremacy every year.

This is 90's basketball. Chanting defense to start the game is an Era I love, but don't think we'll get back to with everyone including centers now shooting 3's 😢
