The 1990s Knicks vs Bulls rivalry was war.

In this edition of From The KFTV Archives, Xavier McDaniel breaks down what really happened during the 1992 Eastern Conference Semifinals between the New York Knicks and Chicago Bulls.

McDaniel reveals:

• The Knicks’ defensive game plan vs Michael Jordan & Scottie Pippen
• The physicality that defined 90s NBA basketball
• The Game 5 elbow that left him wobbling and possibly concussed
• His perspective on Jordan’s trash talk and on-court tactics
• Why the Knicks believed they could beat Chicago

This was peak NBA rivalry basketball — when the Knicks pushed the Bulls to the brink and the Garden was at its loudest.

If you grew up on 90s Knicks basketball, this one will hit home.
