I know I do.
Just looking at playoff teams of this year has me reminiscing about the 90's... I miss those years.
I love our future with Melo & Amare; but nothing can replace my childhood years & dreams of falling in love with the Knicks & the NBA as a whole. I collected sports cards like a bat out of hell & still have every every Knicks game saved starting from 92 recorded on VCR tapes. Plan on starting to watch alot of em starting tonight with my older bro leading into the playoffs. Playoff zone is right around the corner baby.
The Pacers aren't a serious threat but it reminds me of the 90's again... The East is back. CHI, NY, INDY, MIA, ORL & ATL. Missing the Pistons of the Thomas, Dumars & Rodman days though.
Pat Ewing was my favorite player back then..
We made the playoffs every year.. I remember during the Bulls record breaking 72-10 season we blew them out by like 30 at the garden .. That was one of my favortie memories.. I was ecstatic watching that game.. I remember the missed finger roll in game 7 in '94.. I remember a lot of disappointing playoff exits.. I remember watching the GOAT Michael Jordan every year in the finals.. (it bothers me when people say Kobe is on MJs level because they are mostly kids who never really saw Jordan play. I used to be in awe of Jordan)(I guess these kids just remember Jordan the Wizard lol)
then we had that magical run in '99.. I still think we couldve beat the Spurs had we had Ewing not hurt.. We couldve had Camby and Ewing matchup with Robinson and Duncan.. When Ewing went down before the series i knew we werent gonna win
.... When I was a kid I met Anthony Mason at the Westchester Mall in White Plains I wa slike 9 years old and I remember Mason being the BIGGEST guy I ever saw in my life.. When your a little kid the size of him was exageratted to me lol it was ridiculous.. I met Kurt Thomas in 2000 at the Westchester County Fair at the Yonkers Raceway.. I met John Starks at his basketball camp.. and Charles Oakley at his Car Wash on central Ave in Yonkers in the 90s Oakleys car Wash is still there on Central but he doesnt own it anymore. but it has all the Knicks colors its cool....Next time I go by there Ill take a picture and post it up for you guys to see.. they got all pictures of the Knicks from the 90s framed on the inside i bleieve they have an Oakley autographed game worn jersey and basketballs..
I have alot of fond memories.. But I dont miss it anymore whats done is done.. Im more excited with our current squad we have now.. We never truly had 2 top stars in the NBA liek we do now during those years.. We had Ewing and alot of really good players.. But not liek the tandem we have now with 2 top 10 players on the planet..
Our team started going down the tubes with that ridiculous Allan Houston contract.. I used to love Houston but we were nuts giving out that contract.. and then Isiaih really put our team in the shitter.. During our Isiah years I could barely watch this team because we had NO heart.. Therefore the NBA was pretty much dead to me.. I bnever watched the playoffs anymore and I watched Knicks games here and there.. I remember making the trade for Marbury(bum) and being excited making the playoffs and getting sewpt by NJ.. I cant believe so many guys love Stephon Marbury on this website.. They must be too young to remember the Knicks of the 90s.. Cuz all the Knicks fans that watched the team during the 90s cannot possibly like a guy like Marbury,, He's part of the dark cloud over the franchise along with Isiah,, They had no heart. Donnie walsh will win executive of the year
Now our team is playingwith Heart.. Carmelo is playing like the best player on the planet right now and Im excioted.. I think we can do some damamge in the playoffs.. Im going to one of these games in the playoffs for sure.. i dont care if i have to pay 300 for a ticket
