If you're an 80s/90s NBA fan, this series had everything you wanted - defense, physicality, perseverance and heart. Not to mention loaded with HOFers.

In other words? The antithesis of today's game.

You could argue of all series' from that era, this was the most physical one. A certainty however was the game being a changing of the guard - a "bad boys' last hurrah and birth of the 90s Knicks.
