I'll never forget the first one in my life!! It was such a great feeling after getting close when we had Rodman then we fell apart. Robinson got hurt we got the #1 and the rest is history. Now 23 years later we got the #1 again with Wembanyana on the board. So excited to see we're this team goes in the future

100% thanks God for the NY Knicks 100% thanks for Kobe Bryant 100% thanks God for Paul Allen

Poor NY, they played their hearts out. They were the first 8 to reach the Finals. Sprewell is even quicker and more lithe and athletic than I remembered. Plus he had hops and stamina for days. But the Knicks lost Ewing in the ECF, Larry Johnson was injured injured then as well and only had limited mobility in the Finals. Plus no one to counter Duncan and Robinson aka the Twin Towers. Even then, the series was decided by a 1 point game.

[@SheckleRFan715]

They really played D on this game. score was 78-77 but Duncan's spurs was too much

Please throw us back to the years when our glorious Spurs dominated with their dynasty

[@MrEOM41]

This Knicks squad was pretty deep crazy they didn’t have much more success after this season.

[@spursdynasty08]

What do you mean they didn’t have success? They went to the conference finals the next year and were very competitive the next year after that. You are a fake fan

[@Mark-xl1ze]

The first team to win the NBA title not named the Chicago Bulls or Houston Rockets since 1990.

[@arnoldgarzajr1164]

That 1999 NBA season was shorten because of the strike.I remember my friends brother in law said that the Utah Jazz was going to win it all.Man was he wrong.San Antonio Spurs got hot towards the end of the season getting the number 1 seed in the 99 playoffs.This was the Spurs first title in its history I think.Sprewell had a hell of a series but he couldn't do everything by himself.Duncan and Robinson were just to tough for the Knicks.Congrats to the Spurs 💍

[@dennismagee9555]

Speedwell did his best he really tried he almost carried them to game 6

[@davyalaindeglave7305]

that team was so nice, they deserved the victory in game 5, what a pity EWING was out for injury!

[@TOCC50]

Why did Toronto get rid of Camby

[@brewvova175]

jaren jacckson and jr look so good playing

[@tuntuu]

Knicks did great without Ewing.

[@spursdynasty08]

They did better than they would’ve done with him. New York fans forget that he was broken and couldn’t move for shit

[@SheckleRFan715]

Thanks so much for my request! 😃 i subed btw.

[@TheDignam]

The Knicks should retire Spreewell Jersey.

[@TOCC50]

And Houston

[@26bisket]

Asterisk… short season , faced an 8 seed, bulls team dismantled

[@arnoldgarzajr1164]

I knew the Spurs were going to win a title one day.Jordan retired and the Bulls were not really contenders anymore so the door opened for a non Chicago Bulls NBA finals.The Spurs got beat in the 1994-95 season.They were the 1 seed in thier western conference that year.Thats okay the Spurs won 5 championships from 1999-2014

[@MichelvMerci]

100% thanks God for the NY Knicks 100% thanks for Kobe Bryant 100% thanks God for Paul Allen

[@timhoward5]

*The Knicks got lucky going to the finals. They had no buisness being there. The Heat would've been a better matchup for the Spurs.*

[@markhobson5769]

Did the NBC televise this 1999 NBA Finals match?

[@Mark-xl1ze]

Yes

[@jaychild78]

Should’ve kept Starks and Oakley.

[@TOCC50]

Starks is a bum

[@andreeaguirreflores2934]

Magic Duncan
