My beloved Knickerbockers beat the Suns last night who also happened to have the best record in the NBA. We’ve been trash for so long that this  game caused for a little reminiscing. I remember when my starting five was Ewing, Oakley, Mason, Starks and Harper! With those memories vivid in my brain, allow me to take you back to the TOP 5 MOMENTS OF THE NEW YORK KNICKS (90’s edition)

5. The Dunk
Arguably the most famous dunk in Knicks history, there was no way it could be kept off of the list. I will say that the legend of the dunk has outgrown the actual play. Honestly it happened so fast that I barely remember it. I do remember a few things though. I remember having that poster in the room and I remember the fact that Jordan also got dunked on!

4. Chris Childs Snuffs Kobe Bryant
Now if you are a true 90s or early 2000s Knicks fan, you shall remember this play and might even remember where you were. I recall it was an afternoon game that Knicks were losing. I believe Chris Dudley had got dunked on something ugly and things were getting testy. As soon as Kobe got two pieced, I called my fellow Knick fans and we all celebrated a good laugh!

3.Larry Johnson 4 Point Play
Whether you were there, at home or at your local sports bar, it doesn’t matter. This has the makings of a number 1 play. The dramatics, the impossibility and LJ’s beard made this moment an unforgettable one. The overhead shot of the Garden celebrating is one that is now used for big plays all across the basketball coverage. LJ had definitely hit his militant stage at this point and this militant led a community of fans to the promise land or at least to the next round of the playoffs. Peep the post game interview and how Larry bigs up his islamic faith as well.

2. Allan Houston Gamewinner
Allan Houston is often remembered for his unsuccessful 6 year 100 million dollar contract. I remember his sweet jumper, his deadly triple threat and of course one of the biggest shots in Knicks history. The game winner helped the Knicks become only the second #8 seed to beat a #1 seed in the playoffs. What I remember most is me literally jumping on my bed and breaking it, as I celebrated. The bed never recovered. Game Over!

1. Patrick Ewing dunks on Zo
I may be a little biased on this one, but I shall not have Patrick Ewing off of the list. This was huge because it was perhaps the last great highlight of this NYK warrior’s career. Taking place in the Eastern Conference finals against the hated Miami Heat, Ewing would not be able to play in the finals due to injury but this dunk or his Hoya comrade was a memorable one.
