This video was produced before the 2023 Knicks and Heat met in the 2nd round. Purely coincidental. Also, correction: Riley's return to the Garden was December 19, 1995; the Heat lost 89-70. He returned the next year on December 3, 1996 and won 99-75. What's the BEST NBA rivalry ever (apart from Celtics-Lakers)?

Knicks vs heat is my all time favorite rivalry. Personally i think it the greatest rivalry in NBA history. It just epitomized the old school 90's basketball. Quick note: If you notice, There was only one game where a team scored more than 100 points in any of their playoff games against each other from 97-00. That's unheard of in today's NBA. Game 5 between Knicks and heat from the 99 playoffs is my all time favorite game. I think it's one of the greatest games in Nba history. Bar none !!!

I loved watching this series as a kid. Both teams were so equally-matched, it was like they were mirror versions of each other. Then you also had the real-life tensions with Pat Riley and the Van Gundy brothers. I really enjoyed the Suns-Spurs rivalry of the 2000's and it might be one to do a future video on. Suns-Spurs was interesting because they were pretty much the exact opposite of one another, with the Spurs being slow and defensive-minded, while the Suns were fast and focused on offense. The Suns finally sweeping the Spurs in 2010 after losing to them so many times was such an incredible moment for me.

Plus teams showing love to each after the series, in other words the current Knicks Heat teams don't hate each other. Congrats, Heat are definitely the better team this year.

What a rivalry! As a Heat fan, those games were excruciating, especially the one with the Allan Houston shot that seemed to bounce and stay in the air forever. Those were some good Heat teams too. The Knicks had the better of the Heat in those years. Ultimately, Riley and the Heat won in the long run with the Heat franchise winning three championships. Still, those years bring back painful memories for me as a Heat fan. Lol! I did read the book, Blood in the Garden about the 90's Knicks. Great book! This recent Heat-Knicks series did bring back some nostalgia at first, but the game and the league is not the same... Great video by the way.

Where any Regular Season Games Of Those Sunday Afternoon Double and Sometimes Triple Headers, Has More Ratings Than Nowadays Playoffs Games.and Pacers n The Bulls, also Those Eariy 1990's Cavs Were Knicks Rivals Even Longer Than The Heat, Cause MJ's Bulls Since The Early 90's Were a Nightmare for NY Then Indiana a Couples of Years After That in 94 or 95, Been a Knick Fan Since The Mid 80's, and Been There in N.Y Those Years Was a Blast, I Was in my Early 30's The City Was Full Of Life, Even Had The Opportunity To Meet Spike Lee, in The Village During His Filming of The Movie Girl 6.

7:35 I was born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up. Sonics and Blazers fan. Japanese-American. I did NOT know that, in 1996-97, Larry Johnson could still dunk like that! I thought that his unfortunate back problems, is what caused Charlotte to trade him away. I know that he played 82 games, 40 minutes per game, and 20 points per game, but his rebounding numbers were down, and he was "much less explosive."

Funny that the template for these 90's rivalries was the Riley's Knicks - which was a carry over from the Piston's - and the Bulls. The Bulls had that triangle offense, and though physicals, didn't rely on brute force, but the triad of Jordan, Pippen and Rodman (and Grant before him). Interestingly, until the Spurs won the title in 99's, the only type of teams that won titles from 91-98' where the Bulls and Rockets. The Bulls and Rockets had a similar style. The super physical Riley Knicks and Heat where never able to get over the hump and win a championship. Had Riley, actually followed the Piston blueprint, he would have balanced out the roster with good scorers and shooters to go with their tough brand of basketball. The Pistons where tough, dirty and physical, but they actually had a lot of talented players and scores, such as Thomas, Dumars, Vinnie Johnson, and Aguire. Had Riley gotten more tough scorers, like Vinnie Johnson and Dumars, to go with their tough defense, the Knicks might have won a title. However, they were heavy laden with enforcers, but lacked dynamic scorers to win a championship. As a result they had to rely on someone like Starks, who was a streaky shooter, rather then rotate in a stable shooting guard off the bench, like Vinnie Johnson. A couple Vinnie Johnson/Dumar-type players, could have helped the Knicks get past the Rockets, and maybe even the Bulls. Cool time of basketball though! Those Bulls-Knicks series were intense and fun to watch!

I’m reading the comments and… it’s clear this is a young crowd, I say that respectfully lol. Anyone who has been watching basketball for as long as I have, and I’m only 33, but anyone who has been a fan of basketball knows these two teams have had heat with each other for a long time and Pat Riley was, and is, a huge part of it all. Also you have two franchises who both believe in winning and culture and that just adds to it as well, being conference rivals.
