Timeline of How EWING and the KNICKS FAILED to Win an NBA Title | Playoff Failures

[Music] win or lose it all it's all going to come here if we win it's going to come here we lose it's going to come right back here no matter who the coach is I'll be always the one who get blame gets blam you think so yeah it's always been that way been that way for for 11 [Music] years Theon one as the follow shot rolled off the rim and what an emotional ending the celic came very close but the Knicks prevailed look out king hurt himself as he gave the foul onus turn the ankle so Bernard King hustling down as Bernard King was carried from the court the last of the Nick's fading hopes died painfully Before Their Eyes it was a very difficult time in New York over the next two seasons the second pick in the 19 1985 NBA draft goes to the Indiana the Horseshoe work basketball is back in New York City my friends here's David Stern first pick select Patrick y feels great very happy that New York chosen me in the draft I'm happy to play in New York New York is a fine City I sure we have a lot of Fan Fair I'm just happy that uh to get everything all to get this all over with as you reach the middle of your first year if you could decide what your reputation going to be at the end of your career what would it be hopefully I'll be one of the greatest whenever you do something you always want to be one of the greatest or the greatest and I would like to be one of the greatest though Ying would win rookie of the year he too would fall prey to the injury plague and as the losses continue to mount New York fans could only wonder whether championship basketball would ever be more than a fond memory what we're talking about here is luck pure and simple last year the Knicks brought a horseshoe that got them Patrick Ying this year Nicks executive Scotty Sterling wanted a horseshoe from Kentucky Derby winner that's why you're seeing that rabbit John the story at the Garden tonight is quite simple the king is back Bernard King out two years with a severely damaged knee making his first appearance here tonight and this crowd is fired up they cheered him when he came out they cheered him when he scored his first layup we need the input the physical energy of all 10 guys right now they all have something to lend to the team the 82 game production we could not have asked any more from this grp in his second year the Knicks would win only 24 games as Hing would once again fall prey to injuries and inflated expectations I had been Hur in that it was rough it was rough in the Tucker Ying sets a screen the shot is off loose ball Ying goes up the basket count a long rebound comes right to him at front rimson as the light goes off and falls in what a win for the 18th pick in the 1987 NBA draft the New York nickers select Mark Jackson you consider how hard Bernard worked to get himself back into playing condition and all the reports about his knee were the fact that he not only would never play again would have a hard time walking and here he is back in the NBA I think that we're a young emotional team that lacks one ingredient that's experience the young teams at times maybe some of the veteran teams wouldn't had 25 wins in a row at home and stay that focused with that type of streak and be so emotional about that type of streak so you take the good with the bad when a person is hurt it's hurt I couldn't help that unfortunately it was a sad situation for me now I I feel healthy I'm 100% And know um I'm just going to keep on playing the way I've been playing all my life hard stanovic on the move and it's all over the Knicks make it to the playoffs for the first time since the 1983 84 season tremendous effort 36 points on 12 for 19 shooting he didn't miss from the free throw line 11 for 11 the Boston Celtics have won it beating the Knicks 128 to 102 [Music] in case you joined us late and missed that story the Chicago Bulls traded rebounding power forward Charles Oakley to the New York Knicks for Bill cartright and the two teams also swapped their positions 11 and 19 in this draft the New York nicobar select Rod Strickland of the P Rod Strickland surprising the crowd at the felt Forum A Chorus of booze coming up from some and the Knicks are in first place in the Atlantic division The Darlings of New York once again but Rick patino knows it's not a championship team yet and that there's a lot of improvements still be made certainly there are a lot of improvements this is a team that basically has been sometimes living and dying by their three-point shooting offense is something I think that kind of came naturally to me uh you know I played a lot of pickup games and a lot of basketball and the thing that I worry about and concentrate on is my defense if I can do that on a consistent basis I think I'm an effective player among the NBA leaders in scoring and blocked shots a three-time Allstar Center Patrick Ying the team leader in assists and steals guard Mark Jackson rebound yui and the New York Knicks have won the first round of the playoff series in three consecutive games savoring this moment Doug Collins Chicago Bulls and 20,000 fans in the stadium erupt in a joyous celebration tonight's Miller Light player of the game as he has been so many times Michael Jordan the assistant trainer is Tim Walsh the trainer is Mike Saunders the assistant coaches are Ernie grunfeld Paul Silas and Jeff Van Gundy and the head coach of the Knicks St Jackson the big addition Charles Oakley number 34 back into the lineup after missing three games with his knee injury and the rest of the starting five pretty much the same and their coach 34-year-old St Jackson the youngest head coach in the NBA he was the coach of the month in New York there had been that controversy over the trade sent Rod Strickland to S Antonio yeah but now when you see what the player is doing they got him for his leadership his confidence his defense his ability to play Big Under Pressure 51 points a career high and I tell you that has got to be frustrating there were questions about this man's heart and his competitiveness when he first entered the NBA but there is no doubt right now he will be one of the alltime Great when he finally hangs him up it's Destiny it feels it feels so good everybody has counted us out you know we just came together I think that all the controversy and everything that that our media been saying about us just light a fire underneath our butts and we just roast to the occasion you had Rodman giving a a terrific performance today and then down the wire they broke the press and then the excellent execution in the pick and rolls with Dumar ending it big John Starks battled his way into the NBA but he was cut by The Warriors after just one season and found himself in basketball's minor leagues from his earliest days in a Nick uniform he set out to prove he belonged do you expect to finish your career with the New York nickers I'm happy in New York I mean I'm happy with you know the town of New York I love it here I don't want to take anything away from you know trying to get my team into the playoffs and possibly you know winning the championship but as the season began the Knicks inexplicably struggled Stu Jackson would be fired 15 games into the season and be replaced by John McLoud but changing coaches would not prove to be the answer and here comes Jackson two onone Edwards back behind the back [Music] to and that's one of the things that Mark Jackson does for a team he can ignite the crowd because he is a creative player game is over it's the Bulls winning and sweeping the series from the Knicks in the second half it was never in doubt once Michael Jordan took over in the third to help spearhead the Bulls [Music] 30-7 the New York Knicks are very proud to announce the appointment of Pat Riley as head coach of the New York Knicks having coached the Lakers to five championships Pat Riley brought with him an impressive resume of success with the 12th pick in the 19 1991 NBA draft the New York Knicks select Greg Anthony from the University of Nevada Las Vegas we have a organization that shows us a lot of confidence they put us on the floor in current time they put us on the floor in important times of the game and our confidence level is just up it's not being cocky we just know that we're in there to boost the team up and that's what our jobs every night and that's what we go out and do a 68 forward from wit State Xavier McDaniel he has the in a couple games he has pretty well shut McDaniel down if not up 15 points and 11 points and just a few rebounds in both games remaking the team in Patrick's image the Knicks added players who matched his fiery intensity we can get to where we want to go and that's to win a championship we brought some players around him and we really made Patrick the focus of our ball Club what about goal do you set a personal goal the only goal that I I've set for myself is to win the championship you know I think all the other things you know the individual goals will come I love to be like Bill Russell starts with the St in terms of elevation with Michael Jordan Julius Irving territory seem like you would stairs on that move the New York Knicks have defeated the Detroit Prestons 9487 to win the series in five a fiercely played five game set and they will move on to face the Chicago Bulls the Chicago Bulls have defeated the New York Knicks 11081 to take this grooming Series in seven the Bulls move on to face the Cavaliers Blackman live the average through some highly successful years including two 50 win seasons and a trip to the Western Conference Finals in 1988 for Rolando Blackman the time had come to depart from Dallas we had signed uh forward Xavier McDaniel to a three-year contract Xavier McDaniel a 7-year veteran from witchar state was brought into Boston not to be Larry Bird's replacement but rather to be [Music] himself very personal conversation with members of the Nick bench and he's succeeding Marv and inciting this place and doing the things he learned not to do at Madison Square Garden the players have to understand to win a championship is going to be the most difficult thing you will ever do in your life you have to give up everything you have to sacrifice everything you have to work harder you have to endure you have to do these things in order to win one of the games that we had to win and you know the guys deserve it so I we have to keep in mind too that you know we've worked hard to secure something that we think is important but we also have to refocus and know that it's just one step you don't know how they're going to beat you it could be anybody it was Blackman today it could be be Charles Smith at any time Mason could come up with a a big game that's the toughest time type of team to play against someone with a varied an unknown offense their biggest challenge lays ahead of them right now lies ahead of them that's Chicago the two-time defending Champions they are the favorites until someone can eliminate them and in 1973 that year they won the NBA Championship Patrick in the last two years this team went from 39 wins to 51 and then 51 to 6 I mean we have improved every single year and he has been the major factor for that and the New York Knicks will lead the defending world champions two games to none seven teams have come back from an 02 deficit including the best of five and seven series to win the last one was the [Music] 1990s you in for smith Smith SM Smith stop Smith stop up again by P what play by Scotty pepper and the Bulls have defeated the N is it that Patrick Ying still does not have the complimentary players surrounding it although a excellent All-Star performer still not able to rise enough to bring his team to the next level is it just impossible to defeat Michael Jordan it's an Ying who is being restrained by teammates and does not want to hear it from John Starks oh John Starks receiving a lecture from Patrick Y part of me is really really excited for a new opportunity to uh to go and win something that I that I really really want and part of me is extremely sad because I'm leaving a place that um I'm leaving a place that's it's tough to leave man cying defense help make his team of power in from the New York John star power forward the first time Allstar from the New York Knick Charles Oakley drives the lane this is off foring 12-footer it's good Patrick's fans and teammates showing their appreciation R is Patrick he needed just 19 points to pass Clyde he gets 27 to become the next all-time leading score New York picks but it will be the New York Knicks going up against the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference Final the Knicks have defeated the balls 87- 77 there's Starks John Starks with the the down and the Knicks by one the New York Knicks head to the NBA finals to go up against the Houston Rocket Standing Ovation for the New York Knicks the Knicks 91 the Rockets 84 as they head back to Houston for game six on Sunday all right Starks Rockets do not want a foul Starks for three came up short over and it will go to a seventh and decisive game on [Music] Wednesday time running out on the New York Knicks the Houston Rockets on the 1993 94 NBA champion the 1993 John W Heisman Memorial trophy awarded to the best college football player in the country and that winner is Charlie W of Florida State unives look at the starting line of Derek Hopper and John Starks in the back court both have had their shooting difficulties Patrick Ying Charles Smith and Charles Oakley mat Riley a man who's taken his teams to the NBA finals each times in 12 years it's a seven-point charlot Le Hopper on the steel Harper for Ying takes it away Harper sucks up Patrick ying and oh did he love that play Reggie Miller scoring eight points in the final 32 seconds taunting Spike Lee and 19,000 at Madison Square Garden they never gave up and the Knicks gave them a chance missed free throws the Starks truck to the corner the inbounds to Yuri out of three down of two Yuri not a hit and it's all over the Indiana Pacers have defeated the New York [Music] Knicks philosophical positional Financial whatever it is on a principle and when you come to an impass you got to make a decision as a person I mean you either leave or you go on and be embittered because you've accepted something you didn't want and I wasn't going to do that whenn or lose it all going it's all going to come here if we win it's going to come here we lose it's going to come right back here no matter who the coach is I'll be always the one who get blame gets blam you think so yeah it's always been that way been that way for for 11 years well the lucky seventh starter at that position was the answer it came in the form of Veteran Charles Smith Smith came to the team along with Monty Williams in early February in exchange for J.R Reed and Brad lwh House 44y Old Jeff Van Gundy now the youngest head coach in the league in his seventh year with the Knicks he was an assistant his last coaching experience or head toing experience was on the high school levelwing will screen starts cross to Harper back to Star swings it near side in low to Ying turn around jumper for the tie he got it with 6 seconds remaining Ying hits the Baseline jumper to tie the game at 87 as he backs up see you later Spike he says see you in the next Nike commercial well Michael Jordan hits a three-pointer from about 30 ft then looks over to Spike Lee and gives him the look like that's the nail the [Music] coffin you can take a 30% hike each year you can get up pretty high in a three-year contract obviously he'd have to take less but again if if he feels insulted he has enough money from outside interest he can come to New York and make rydor pay big time I saw a picture of uh of Lee playing in a Nick uniform it made a difference it did make a difference I can't say it didn't make a difference because it just showed me that they really you know believe to me and look at me in that way it feels good so you know I'm just trying to get a fresh start and just trying to blend in and do what I can do whatever the players and the coaches asked of me to do and just trying to be the best that I can be for this team now the next as you know them are dramatically different only five players returned from a season ago president Ernie grunfeld did a masterful job of trading and working the salary cap to give this team tremendous depth exciting Youth and a lot of experience Rob an excellent passer fires on the Hop picked off by y here's y the steel leading to the drive and the stuff and Y hearing it from the crowd as he hobbles his way with a three to one lead will you close it out there quickly that's our plan you know uh we have to get rid of the series and move on to the next uh we don't want uh whoever we're going to face in uh Eastern Conference fighter to uh you know be resting you know we want to take care of business and uh move [Music] on the rule is quite specific on this players who leave their bench area during a fight have to be suspended without pay for one game the next game who and how people play in game six the Miami Heat they have become the sixth team of the history of the NBA to come back from a 3-1 deficit to win a playoff series they do it by taking three in a row and knock off the Knick with youing the team is 15 and 11 without him they are 14 and 10 it's a wash now they increase their scoring though with the three-point shooting better because they're getting more looks and the guys are shooting a higher [Music] percentage and it is bad news for Patrick Ying in the New York Knicks Ying hurt his wrist in last night's loss in Milwaukee he underwent surgery today here in New York that wrist has torn ligaments the New York Knicks are saying he is out for the rest of this season final seconds 10 seconds remaining Allan Houston a three bang Allan Houston ties it up at 82 with 7.7 remaining and New Jersey will call timeout I really believed that we were going to win the game uh but coming in that was my only concern was you know how are we going to come out and um obviously you know we knew that Tim and some of the guys were going to be aggressive Mark Jackson was having a career night along with his 13 assists and 22 points dra 14 rebounds that's the first Pacer triple double in playoff history that was enough to finish off the Knicks New York loses the series 4-1 Indiana moves on to the Eastern Conference Finals the Knicks would make more dramatic changes heading into the 1999 season they traded away veteran Mainstays Charles Oakley and John Starks to get younger and more athletic with Marcus cambi and lat tril's freeway were much better players than this we knew what much better team just a year ago we had been in a second round you know the playoffs and had a chance to go to Eastern Conference Finals and here we are just kind of going backwards despite their added depth and talent the Knicks stumbled through the 99 regular season falling far short of expectations this kind of out of control basketball that has doomed the Knicks time and time again this year that usually means something for y out in Houston Houston Ducks under got it with eight chance left he is the hero on a tough day he seals the deal a sweet redemption for Allan Houston that's the last shot and the New York Knicks advance to the Eastern Conference Finals 79- [Music] 66 Ying season is over the Nick Center laboring in pain with tendon itties throughout the year still giving his team over 31 minutes a game of the playoffs partially tore his left Achilles tendon last night in Indianapolis how difficult is this for you you're a part of the celebration you've been a part of the team but you're not able to participate now that was very frustrating I wish I was able to play help my teammates but they're doing a fabulous job I just want to go and get involved in the celebration the San Antonio Spurs have won their first NBA championship and listen to the New York crowd cheer their team Bob they knew they were undermanned listen to this this a tremendous response to this crowd for the New York Nick team and their effort Scott Len who helped build the Utah Jazz contenders will try to turn the Knicks into Champions leaden announced he is accepting the Knicks general manager worth $6 million over four seasons I'd love to win the championship here in New York I think for the most part the the management and the fans they' Tre treated me great my whole career there except for some sometimes you know they boo me but no for the most part they they treated me great but you know it's been a the last two years have been rough pressure on Charles all night long it's h he's had a great four quarter can you win it here Patrick Hing giv for the yor dicks to lead hey this is what it's all about this is what I work for I work hard all all summer long to come back from my ailles uh can't come to came came uh started season in shape hey I feel good last year he partially tore his a killes in game two the year before he returned from a broken wrist in game two Thursday night the injury bug bit again in the news wasn't good at all you strains attending his right foot and he is [Music] done Patrick has been traded away to Seattle again in return the Knicks get Glenn rice along with three centers this Blockbuster of a deal involved four teams 12 players five draft choices Seattle traded seven players and three draft picks away so life goes on without Jeff Van Gundy who says he will remain a fan of the New York Knicks and I'm not going to paint myself in orange and blue and be in the front row but I I will be there I will have great rooting interest in their [Music] success
