I love the first clip. I was so pumped when Johnson nailed the three, but I still do hate him and that grotesque "L" of his.
Thanks for posting those video clips, Jose. It was bittersweet watching them because all of us are aware of how awful this team played this year, but watching those classic moments also gave me hope of someday returning to being one of the NBA?s elite teams. I?ve always loved the Knicks my entire life, but watching both of those games live with my family made me follow the Knicks even more closely and I loved them much more. Game 5 of the first round between Miami and New York was exciting. With the Knicks trailing by a single point, Houston showed us his clutchness and buried the game-winning floater. This as we know, was only the beginning of one of the greatest runs in NBA history. Larry Johnson?s 4-point play to give us a 2-1 lead over the Pacers is up there as one of the greatest wins too. Probably the best shot play in Knicks history and it was definitely an exciting game. I can never get tired of it despite seeing it over and over again. Those were the days, watching our elite Knicks take over the league. Although there were no championships for us, it was the best time to be a fan. Hopefully there will be more moments like these in the near future.
Most of us are too young to remember the championship teams of the 70's, so these plays are what we have to hold onto. Will we see a year like '94 or '99 in the next 20 years? Who knows, but we must cherish these memories and root for our guys win or lose.

And the "L" is one of the greatest signs ever made in the history of mankind. I remember the summer of 1999...everyone and their mother was making that sign...those were the days. It was a nice thought posting those videos. Houston healthy, LJ when his back wasnt acting and the Knicks actually winning games. Those were definetely better days. But it was depressing watching those plays all over again considering the sorry lot we have now that call themselves Knicks. Hope we can find a way out of this embarassing mess but I dont see it with Isiah Jackass Thomas at the helm. Anyway I think Isiah Thomas should be fired.
