Will we ever see another NBA rivalry like the Bulls - Knicks of the 90s

[Redrifle]

One of the best in professional sports. And they went at it. And these guys were stars and all got paid well. It was just a real rivalry. I don't know if we'll see it again.

We've had Lakers/Kings, Pacers/Pistons, Spurs/Suns early to mid 00s and Heat/Pacers more recently.

As far as the physical, the fines and suspensions have moved that off the table

Jordan didn't let the fact that Ewing was a 7'0" 250 lb n1gga back him down. Was always ready to go to war against Pat.

Great memories from those chi-ny battles.

 

[BonafideDefacto]

I'll take the 2000s Lakers Kings over that

 

[MillionMills]

The one the refs bet on?

 

[MikelArteta]

With Marv Albert saying jordan for two... Yes!!!

 

[Drew Wonder]

The Bulls always won though

Personally thought Knicks-Pacers and Knicks-Heat were better rivalries

that's the problem.... it wasn't just the games of basketball and who won

that shyt was like a whole other type of nba... you had 78 games of normal basketball.... and 4 of this other thing. where nikkas was fighting, whole teams was brawling, coming to the lane would get you clothesline, nikkas was talking shyt before, during and after, staredowns, chest and head butts to the opposition... shyt was wild!!!

From my memory the Knicks/ pacers was the GOAT rivalry


Ewing deserved a ring I think more than most. I remember legit feeling sorry for him cuz he went 100 every time and they always came up short

Does it count seeing the Knicks never beat em

Agree with this

Not even close.

Bulls/Knicks and Knicks/Pacers is far above that.

Y'all know this isn't true though, right?

They beat the Bulls the year after Jordan retired.
Then took the Rockets to 7 games.

And if John Starks doesn't miss like 10 three pointers, they probably win that chip.

Game 7 was decided by 6 points.

*edit - 6 points, not 4 points

To me it's not a real rivalry if one team always dominates when it matters most .

The Knicks were 0-5 against Jordan in the playoffs
