		They were the antithesis of a finesse team, but they were good at what they did and Riley got them to a point in the 1994 Finals where they were up, 3-2, heading back to Houston for Games 6 and 7.
		The Heat will be led into battle against the Dallas Mavericks for the NBA championship by a coach who is neither the young LA firebrand nor the driven New York autocrat, but, rather, by a 61-year-old man who may very well have it all figured out.

	Chicago Business - My Patrick Ewing Retrospective
		If I had to pick a defining moment of Patrick Ewing's seventeen-year NBA career (which came to a close with his retirement earlier this month), it wouldn't be Hakeem Olajuwon's fingertip deflection of John Starks' potential championship winning shot at the buzzer of Game 6 of the 1994 NBA Finals.
		He sought to change the Knicks' offensive approach, from the plodding, predictable, half-court set offense (which made the 1994 NBA Finals the lowest-rated in a decade) to a more up-tempo run 'n' gun.
		They came closest in 1999 – advancing to the NBA Finals from the #8 seed thanks to an up-tempo offense and an infusion of speed and agility in the body of Marcus Camby.
