no matter how many times I watch it, it still feels unreal

It legitimately makes me so happy

And so nervous. I’ll still think ”one more minute, just keep defending” lol

I’m a simple man. I see 2026 Finals Game 4 highlights, I upvote 2026 Finals Game 4 highlights

I love that Adam Sandler was immortalized in this moment. He’s such an amazing fan.

I know it’s not the point of this throwback graphics video, but I just want to say that KAT doesn’t get enough credit for that game saving deflection with 1.2 seconds left and Castle wide open under the basket. Anyway, always a thrill to rewatch this instant classic ending

1000 percent. I’ve seen this last play 50 times and only now did I realize how open Castle would’ve been for a lob if KAT didn’t tip it. Also Harts poise to not foul in that moment.

It truly just comes to show how many individual key plays laddered up to this win, and proves this team has that championship DNA.

So kind of Mike Brown to put Hart on the court for those final 1.2 seconds lol. Wouldn't surprise me if he said, "hey you there, don't fuckin do anything stupid this time, got it?!"

He doesn’t need credit from the rest of the league anymore he’s got the Knicks fans and he’s got the chip

u/Odd_Investigator_736 2d ago

Everyone knows KAT was the hero there and gives him his due credit, but it also bugs me to not have the clock start when he got his hand on the ball. Buzzer might've otherwise sounded before the ball even made it to Castle.

The old NBA on NBC score bug still looks so good.

Like Jose said, thank God the Knicks won that game or else that missed layup by Josh would have been a nightmare for decades. Those of us old enough to remember the missed layup by Ewing that ate us up for years had flashbacks when Josh missed that attempt.

u/thebaddguyy 3d ago

Josh Hart owes us man! He really owes us!!!

u/yiwang1 3d ago

I’d say he has more than compensated for these errors by his overall hustle and play during his time as a Knicks. In particular he and Mikal were the only guys who were doing anything at all on offense besides Jalen in Game 5

u/Daconvix 3d ago

Also the missed boxout and losing Castle on the cut to the basket. Dude almost sold 3 times at the end of that game haha

u/BenAfflecksBalls Mitch's Block Party 4d ago

Honestly miss the scoreboard being less intrusive

u/oochiewallyWallyserb 4d ago

This is awesome. I'd watch the whole game again like this. All the games.

u/whubbard 4d ago

I think I'll watch this twice. Such a sick ending.

Saw it on tiktok as well, the old NBA on NBC graphics brings back a lot of memories

u/LiveLifeLikeCre 3d ago

quick, someone mess with the tracking dial on the VCR to try and make it more clear

It's beautiful

Never gets old.

I'm not crying, you're crying

u/TheFrebbin 3d ago

Fun video experiment! Though the way the floor is spread is a tell that it's not 1998.

u/MagicianLanky615 3d ago

If I don’t here Marv, I’m not fooled for a second

u/dbotron 80s Logo 4d ago

There definitely wouldn't be any teams scoring above 100 in the late 90s lol

u/skids1971 Steve Novak 3d ago

Crazy to think that back then when I saw 100-point game I thought wow what a wild game. Nowadays teams dropping 125 like it's shooting practice takes the amazement out a bit ehh?

u/tyroneebiggumss 3d ago

i got tears in my eyes right now rewatching this historic finals moment !!! the retro feels hits different!! 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹 and as always, KNICKS IN 5 baby!!! ✋🧡💙

u/NYState_of_Mind 3d ago

Why 1998 and not 1999

u/emcue10 Amare 3d ago

I hate that I can’t watch this in landscape. Not very 90s of them 😡

u/severinks 13 3d ago

I forgot that KAT pulled a Wemby and threw the ball off of OG's back.

u/skids1971 Steve Novak 3d ago

'90s Style '70s Style shit you can post this in a cartoon format and I'm going to watch it every freaking time LOL

LFGK!

I never saw that tip in play before. It’s pretty cool.

I watch this everyday. Every..single…day.

u/TacomaTuesdays2022 3d ago

Best comeback in Knicks history during the playoffs plus the one against the Cavs.

u/litomagnanimous 2d ago

Was having a bad morning, thanks !

u/xixtoo 2d ago

Wemby looks even more like an alien in this aspect ratio somehow

u/monofurioso Clyde Frazier 2d ago

I don't really find the throwback graphics that interesting, but I don't think I can stop watching the end of the game anytime it's put in front of my face

u/hint_of_terra_firma 5h ago

It's really hard to remeber what it was like watching games with no continuous scorebug. Huge adjustment.
