#NYK70

Re-live the Knicks' 1999 playoff run and share in the laughs with Latrell Sprewell, Larry Johnson, Allan Houston, Kurt Thomas and Marcus Camby in this special chat we streamed live on Facebook!

[@khmerutube]

I will never forget that team and the run that they had! That team had so much heart!

[@scottmartin8888]

Same here! I wish Melo could have a chance to win a ring for us, but so much trade talk, for so long now.

[@wuliwei6939]

Melo doesn't have quality teammates to play with

[@juliobonilla2222]

All hart

[@PerpetualArt]

Definitely my second favorite Knicks team. The 94 team being my favorite.

[@kingammo6090]

2006 Miami Heat Champions.. just some salt in the Wounds Knicks fans 😂

[@manhbx96]

The 1999 New York Knicks are my favorite team EVER

[@liehoentjoa6105]

Same here + jeremy's lin knicks and 2011 mavs

[@Silver_fox76]

Sprewell was my favorite

[@Avmuhammad64]

Ditto!!

[@robertevbayekha6639]

@M idc

[@lloydkline1518]

Better than willis reed/ knick ; pat riley / patrivk ewing / ny knick

[@groverwashingtonjr.9978]

The 2012-13 season was amazing. Camby, Kurt, Sheed, K-Mart, Kidd, Prigioni, Melo, JR, Tyson, Amar'e, Shump, Chris Copeland. Would've loved to see them win that year

[@SabiosNelligan]

Yeah man im with ya on that!

[@erics2739]

War eagle 🦅

[@airpegasus5167]

So Many Enforcers On That Squad. Camby, Sheed, K-Mart, Amare’, Chandler, & JR As A Wild Card.

[@adriansmith2182]

Same here I went and seen them that year

[@osizzle963]

Steve Novak

[@reneewhite7875]

My squad 1999

[@adriansmith2182]

Lol

[@bjmartin1215]

I liked this Knick team a lot. I think I liked them even more than the Pat Riley coached Knicks teams of the nineties. My favorite team was the Knicks of the seventies, and then this team was next.

[@kincamell]

Stellar

[@robertgreene3026]

LJ’s my favorite player ever but this reunion looks a little sus without Ewing being there ijs despite him being hurt that year a huge piece missing from this puzzle.

[@bjmartin1215]

This was an excellent team. Did Camby say that he was a "college football bratt"?

[@airpegasus5167]

With A Healthy Ewing & LJ We Would’ve Beat SA In 1999.

[@mauricescribner7025]

Spurs had Sean Elliott Duncan and David Robinson I doubt it

[@airpegasus5167]

Maurice Scribner Knicks Had Veteran Ewing For A Veteran David Robinson, A Young Defensive Marcus Camby (Who Was Averaging 20-10) For A Young Offensive Tim Duncan, And LJ Who If Healthy Was A Way Better Player Than Sean Elliott. Then Add Spree & Houston... Championship 🏆

[@mauricescribner7025]

Air Pegasus what Marcus Camby are you talking about...he never in his entire career ever averaged 20 pts 10 reb not a single year. Face it the only reason an 8th seeded Knick team even made it to the Finals was because the Bulls split up and Miami could only score 75 pts a game. The Spurs beat the Knicks 4-1 I realized LJ had back issues but Sean Ellicott had kidney issues. The Knicks were not that good btw David Robinson was still avg 37 min/ gm. He was that old

[@airpegasus5167]

Maurice Scribner Are You Krazy. During Those Playoffs He Put Up Those Kinda Numbers In A Few Games In Different Series Despite Pat’s Absence. Sean Elliot Without Injuries Isn’t Better Than Larry Johnson Without Injuries. If The Bulls Stayed Together Nobody Was Beating Them In The West. You Speak Of Miami Without Mentioning Indiana Who Was The Best Team That Year But Was Beaten. Long Story Short Healthy Knicks Vs Healthy Spurs In 99 I’m Goin With The Knicks

[@mauricescribner7025]

Air Pegasus well he did not average those numbers and he certainly did not do it against the Spurs he also did not start every game of the finals either. The Knicks were led by Allan Houston and Sprewell, they both avg 20 plus per game. So LJ healthy or not was going to do much inside against Duncan and Robinson and LJ had a decent outside game but it wasn’t consistent and Van Gundy coaching defense first, LJ gets 12 FgA. The Knicks were talented and coached well as an 8th seed that’s special. The Spurs were better the format was still 232 in ‘99,which means they lost 2 of 3 at MSG, Spurs were better. There’s a what if excuse that can made every year the Spurs won four more chips the Knicks have been bottom feeding for 20 years

[@daxsseconds8930]

if only pat ewing played in the finals..,if only!

[@juanmmendez449]

Carlos Vazquez What this team really needed was someone like Mike Bibby, or Bobby Jackson and Jason Williams . The PG position was there weak point.

[@Cliff...]

@Carlos Vazquez if Ewing and LJ was healthy they would be champions not the Spurs.

[@Cliff...]

@Carlos Vazquez - just healthy Ewing and Camby match up with Robinson and Duncan. So the can't stop LJ Allen and spree. The Spurs got lucky the Knicks was injured, all they did was focused on Spree and he still put points up. You can't do that with Ewing on the floor.

[@Cliff...]

@Carlos Vazquez - neither did the Spurs most teams don't make the finals every year. The match up for the 99 season would have been different with Ewing he was the star.

[@Cliff...]

@Carlos Vazquez - you know with the Pacers and Heat we go back and forth with wins. Every year is different shots don't go down the same.

[@rbermea]

That was a magical run they had back in '99. How 20 years go by so quick.

[@Kicks-iw2xe]

Knicks should of given the keys to Riley in 95. History would of been a lot different

[@vickihill8999]

I agree with you.

[@jasond.gregory9184]

RILES would have probably brought a championship to NY if he had been given the keys

[@testostyrone33]

Watched the entire interview. Brought back memories. Sprewell was a bad boy for real. Hope he's doing ok now.

[@kalimadekingzentertainment5437]

I remember this game was like Yesterday... I was only 16 yrs old...now I'm 36...

[@vickihill8999]

I was 19 then.

[@reubenjones1778]

Crazy how time goes by so fast playing NBA live 99 on sup nes back in 1999

[@libiggz]

mannnnnn those were. some good times

[@javieralicea918]

Basketball when it was basketball, Once a knick always a knick

[@dumisatonyjohnson8145]

1998-99 John Starks gets traded to the GS Warriors in exchange for Latrell Spreewell. The Raptors trade Marcus Camby to the Ny Knickerbockers in exchange for Charles Oakley.

[@shaq9838]

The dawn of a new finals team for NY.

[@TheRealJayson3]

It took forever for that team to click that year; they weren’t your ordinary 8th seed

[@vvshoodlum4219]

PSA people do not name your son Kurt lol 😂 they all have that creepy look

[@glnzki81]

i wish they include jeff van gaundy there...it would be fun to see them and talking that run they had in '99

[@Leo-qe3gl]

Agree. Where are gundy and ewing?😊

[@jhunbibat4707]

#2 LJ - all time fave

[@ChrisPBacon-wq4pu]

99 knicks needed that title. Ah ...

[@daowonimdee]

They would have gotten it if the NBA didn't hate Sprewell.

[@100spurs]

Damn. Crazy 1999 seems likes a long time ago.

[@wadjay1117]

it was nice to see camby and kurt back in the team in 12-13.

[@baselineleaner1064]

Kurt Thomas is the GOAT across all human activity.

[@NyKnicksBeat]

Terrible job by Jonah Ballow in my opinion. Especially @12:21 The convo had been flowing nicely up to that point, very organically and he brings it to an abrupt hault in order to follow the sequence of his notes....

[@SuperStrik9]

I'm not a Knicks fan but I picked the Knicks that year in a playoff pool. Made me look like a basketball genius lol.

[@danielcohen9637]

Charlie Ward should be here too. Houston wouldn't be where he is today without him. He made all of those assists to Houston. Shout out to Childs too. He played so many big games for us.

[@erichall3090]

One day fellow Knicks fans.....one day!!!!

[@Nicolee7764]

Sprewell seems to be doing well here. l know he's had his share of struggles in the past. Good to see him doing much better.

[@InfraaVerdaggens]

In 1997 the Knicks would have beaten everybody, but David Stern directed it perfectly in favour of his beloved commercial Bulls... 1997 was the year of years...

[@chixmeistero557]

no way they beat a healthy bulls team

[@takingover7805]

InfraaVerdaggens oh stop. You forgetting the knicks had a chance to beat rockets in finals and got whooped years before that.

[@Equint77]

I love these guys. The definition of team and were part of my best knicks memories. ❤️

[@richardwilliams5842]

Remember when Camby was better than Duncan in college SMH

[@mauricescribner7025]

You don’t have good memory Camby was very good in college but he was never never never better than Tim Duncan. They both win college player of the year Camby in 96 Duncan in 97. But Duncan has several more individual accolades top defense player in college for three years. Tim competition in the ACC was better night in night than Camby’s in the A10. Then the NBA careers please Camby good player one dimensional played for multiple teams....no chips. Tim Duncan multi-dimensional dubbed the fundamental by another great, gold medals, NBA ROY, MVP finals MVP multiple all star games..,,,5 chips. Marcus Camby yes who’s calling...busy signal Tim Duncan yes who’s calling...,HOF

[@richardwilliams5842]

@@mauricescribner7025 I beg to differ, look up the stats fella....

[@mauricescribner7025]

Richard Williams I did Tim Duncan was better not saying it wasn’t close but I think Duncan and Camby were equally great defensively...rebounds, block shots etc but Duncan was better offensively

[@ronburgendy8394]

thanks for having these events. i just love seeing them together. seem like they were really close during that time and mc saying he's still in contact with the others warms my heart.

[@danielcohen9637]

They never would have made the finals without Sprewell.

[@greenspidey]

The Knicks team that made me a Knicks fan as a kid and still a Knicks fan and my first pro sports team I became a fan of.

[@elliottwall8006]

Where can I cop that jacket?

[@sergeyart3245]

Elliott Wall I'm trying to find out as well

[@truongnd1]

u can't its prolly a special made jacket for them smfh

[@danielcohen9637]

The pacers were better than the knicks that year. The pacers were really loaded. The Knicks played really hard and used their youthful energy.

[@conniewaits575]

Sprewell one of my favorite players

[@ericmeng4857]

man Larry Johnson, Patrick Ewing, kirk Thomas , Allen Houston, etc were real dawgs on the court

[@DannyPacheco-j6f]

missing Patrick Ewing, Chris Childs, Charlie Ward, and John Starks

[@howardbent3971]

John starks wasnt on the 99 team. He waa traded to get sprewell

[@mauricescribner7025]

That’s Starks missed a lot shots anyway

[@philliplyn2692]

The old days when the Knicks were tough and gave it everything that they got there all thanks for sharing very important information giving thanks blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work 🙏🙏🙏🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲💪💪💪

[@brandongilbert3071]

It's crazy how things work out I always thought this team was more talented than the teams ewing had in his prime but he was a shell of himself in 99 this team had way more firepower if he had this team in his prime he would have a ring

[@samgunz1]

Squad had some serious talent.. to see where the Knicks are at now is a disgrace to former teams like this one smh... each of these dudes is underrated

[@anthonyluangphasi8800]

Even though I have watched this a few times and never commented, it's always dope to see that they get along well, view each other as equals, and can rag on everyone without being lame.

[@thomashakim8877]

If that 99 KYK team head a point guard like a Jason Kidd oh mine they probably would have win a championship

[@adriansmith2182]

Nah they didnt need him...they needed Patrick Ewing

[@scottipippen6554]

Great team, loved to watch them. Sad that Pat couldn`t play the finals. Even sader: since 21 years, the Knicks are rubbish. Hope Dolan sales the team same day..soon.

[@rickjamesjr6651]

I love that team every single guy on that team was dope in my eyes especially camby Larry Johnson and Latrell spreewell not to mention Ewing and Houston

[@a.a.c.aquino2371]

Missing the best Patrick,Oakley and Mason and John Starks

[@sdawg4834]

Man I loved this team!!!

[@dejonholland3585]

I was in the 5th grade when Houston hit that shot in Miami

[@adriansmith2182]

Me too

[@adriansmith2182]

Damn I miss those days

[@ImadogGarcia]

That was my highest moment as a Knicksfan. I watched nearly every game in the middle of the night in Germany. I gues it was the gamewinner against the heat, I cried so loud that I woke up my neighbors asking if everythings allright. They saw how happy I was and then turned like I was on drugs 😄

[@maxthursday5203]

Too bad Ewing got hurt and Camby wasn’t much of a scorer

[@MasterGGG]

goosebumps watching this......

[@danielcohen9637]

Please retire Houston's number 20. He deserves it.

[@cornel2064]

Great to be part of history Goose bumps and a smile on my face. How I enjoyed these games in Surinam.

[@alexnader81]

The Knicks team I most enjoyed watching. I was still too young in 94 but this team was THE team for me. Knicks for life!

[@mainuttafrombrooklyn6821]

Shoutout to Childs, Ward, Brunson, Dudley, & Ewing’s Bffs Herb Williams & David Wingate 😂🏀💯

[@DJChepzy]

I love spree mo than Jordan as a dunker !

[@kelvinboyd4847]

Sprewell 2 hand dunk on spurs and 1

[@pius222]

knicks golden era during pat Riley and van Gundy day. Unfortunately there was MJ.

[@takingover7805]

Pius222 and the rockets also

[@najeenixon1834]

Nah, it was during the Red Holzman era, when they actually won championships.

[@craigdavis5407]

Larry Johnson aka Grandmama!!!

[@danielcohen9637]

Kurt Thomas did so much for the Knicks in the 2000's. Very underrated player. He was the 2nd best player after Allan Houston.

[@italianauthority4243]

LJ is the alpha here

[@bosmarley4648]

This was my squad

[@timhoward5]

[@Juice-jx1pr]

JOHN STARKS

[@erichall3090]

Thank you, lest we forget.

[@truongnd1]

nah

[@glutamin111]

Yeah those knicks had so much heart, with Ewing playing in the finals i'm sure it could have been much more dramatic perhaps even with a game 7

[@ericmeng4857]

1999 NYC Knicks were amazing

[@dsqsr0303]

Once a knick always a knick! I will forever be a Knick fan!!!!

[@trueempire8948]

What a great run definitely was unexpected and exciting time!! I was 10 years old

[@wuliwei6939]

Larry Johnson has really aged

[@junior2404]

Nah! He always looked older than his age... He came in the league looking like a 10 yr veteran.

[@natensityfitness2508]

He sure did, look old when he came into the league.

[@MrDmbarbosa]

First thing came to my mind when i see grandmama.

[@vickihill8999]

Um yeah this was 18 years after the playoffs. So yeah he did age, it's natural.

[@kingammo6090]

2006 Miami Heat Champions.. just some salt in the Wounds Knicks fans 😂

[@danielcohen9637]

People don't realize how good Kurt Thomas was at basketball. One of thr greatest Knicks of all time. Top 10

[@swampduck2609]

I was with you till the last two sentences. Very underrated, automatic from the mid range, good basketball IQ, and amazing fundamentals. But no way in hell he is a top 10 Knick of all time, you need a history lesson.

[@loudsmokedollarz3739]

Just caught a lil chill....

[@TheNavaTribe]

I will never forget this team. - Lakers Fan

[@adriansmith2182]

Man the NBA sucks compared to the 90s NBA. Those were the days. Man this New York team didnt play around...

[@steelbonnet8699]

Not a Knicks fan but as kid my little brother and I always pulled for the real underdogs. The two seasons prior we pulled for the Stockton and Malone Jazz and in '99 we were all in for the Knicks. It didn't hurt that we are Tennessee boys and Houston was a Vol. Loved how Camby stepped in when Ewing went down. How electric LJ was when most everyone had counted him out already.

[@darkerknight7010]

If Miami or Indiana grabbed up Spree…they would’ve won a title. Ewing’s injury is what stopped the Knicks.

[@ChicoSlicc]

Marcus Camby deserved more mins and Chris Dudley needed NONE lol. I think he could’ve been a bigger difference maker

[@kevinthomas7526]

Well we’re definitely in the new millennium. The trend is to embrace loosing. Everybody gets a 🏆. Notice no Pat, .....he knew not to show up for this 💩

[@ninowaves4061]

Loved this Knicks team..wish they would of beat the spurs…Ewing deserved a ring for how hard he worked and repped the Knicks.

[@marvinflowers7945]

The 1999 season Knicks should have won championship they where like golden state that year to bad Ewing was injured.

[@DenzyW-u1t]

Man, they got our boys wearing the wrong Knicks logo Era, that jacket is for 80s era.

[@jeremycamacho2964]

Smh, plz tell me how many more yrs are the Knicks going to be living in the pass. I’m so tired of this franchise. (Yes) I’m a Knick fan but I also like to keep it real. How about u figure how to win now instead of doing this stupid shit. Mind you they lost this finals in 5 games so why are they even doing this lol. Damn Knicks!.

[@rickjamesjr6651]

Larry Johnson was incredible in the clutch

[@danielcohen9637]

If Ewing wasn't a knick, Allan Houston would have been the best Knick in the modern era.

[@danielcohen9637]

Houston's number 20 should be retired. He played 10 years for the Knicks and had a lot of success.

[@thereal_notoriousakagdubb3486]

But the new york knicks Cinderella run was short lived as well they'd lost to the San Antonio Spurs in 5 GMs

[@andygonzalez658]

Classic knicks finally in 2021 knicks are going to the playoffs this is how long its been sense 1999 whao!

[@danielcohen9637]

I'm not sure if anyone remembers, but this was Larry Johnson's team. He was the captain.

[@willn8664]

As a Knicks fan I wished that the team could have kept Starks and still get Spre.

[@josephfonseca8639]

One of the top 3 Knick teams all-time! 💪

[@adriansmith2182]

If only Patrick Ewing didnt get injured and played in the Finals

[@yungotcha]

can anybody tell me where i can get those jackets they are wearing .... been looking on the net for those particular ones cant find them

[@darkerknight7010]

Oak & Starks leaving was the end of an era. JVG didn’t embrace it at first.

[@CuSTACKS]

Man we were close super close. Miss this team.

[@ivanwu365]

99 Knicks my favorite squad.

[@asianmonger69]

the knicks last great team. it all went downhill from 99

[@donlove011]

As a Heat fan, I hated that team. Especially when Kurt Thomas left us to go to the Heat.

[@thejamaican67]

Shame all the knicks have is memories
