- The 1999 NBA playoffs was the postseason tournament of the National Basketball Association’s 1998-99 season. The tournament concluded with the Western Conference champion San Antonio Spurs defeating the Eastern Conference champion New York Knicks 4 games to 1. Tim Duncan was named NBA Finals MVP. The 1999 Playoffs are memorable in that a #8 seed (the Knicks) made it to the Finals for the only time in history, and that it came after a lockout-shortened 50-game season. It also featured the Philadelphia 76ers’ and Milwaukee Bucks’ first trip to the playoffs since 1991 (coincidentally they faced each other in the opening round that year), and it was also the 76ers’ first appearance since drafting Allen Iverson with the #1 overall pick in 1996. Iverson later led the Sixers to the 2001 NBA Finals. The Bulls, despite being defending champions, missed the playoffs for the first time since 1984 (mostly due to the second retirement of Michael Jordan and the departures of Scottie Pippen and Dennis Rodman). They also became the first defending champion since the 1969–70 Boston Celtics to miss the playoffs. Although the Spurs had home-court advantage throughout the playoffs, they played more road games (nine) than home games (eight), as all their series were won on the road, which included back-to-back sweeps of the Lakers and Trail Blazers (who would meet in next year's West Finals). The Spurs won twelve straight games, and finished 15–2 for a postseason record previously equalled by the 1991 Chicago Bulls and beaten only by a 15–1 playoff record with the only loss in overtime from the Los Angeles Lakers in 2001, and by a 16–1 playoff record from the Golden State Warriors in 2017. Both of the Spurs losses came against #8 seeded teams. After losing their Eastern Conference Semifinal series to the Knicks, the Atlanta Hawks did not return to the playoffs until 2008. Game 5 of the Heat–Knicks series was the last playoff game to take place at Miami Arena. The Heat continued to host regular season games there for part of the 1999–2000 season before moving to what is now FTX Arena in January 2000. Game 4 of the Spurs–Lakers series was the last regulation NBA game ever played in the Great Western Forum. The Lakers played a handful of preseason games leading up to the 1999–2000 season before Staples Center (now Crypto.com Arena) became the new home of the team for that season. Game 5 of the Knicks–Pacers series was the last meaningful NBA game ever played at Market Square Arena. Game 5 of the Hawks–Pistons series is the last NBA playoff game played in a college basketball-specific arena (Georgia Tech's then-named Alexander Memorial Coliseum), and among the final NBA games played in a college basketball-specific arena. Many teams formerly played playoff games on college campuses, especially in the NBA's early days, but the increasing professionalization and ownership of arena times made the practice obsolete. For the first time since 1991, no series went to seven games. After spending their first thirteen seasons in Sacramento in mediocrity, with no winning record and two playoff appearances in 1986 and 1996, the Kings franchise made the first of eight consecutive playoff appearances, which included a trip to the Western Conference Finals in 2002. Game 4 of the Lakers–Rockets series was the final postseason appearance of Charles Barkley’s Hall of Fame career. It was also the final playoff game ever held at the Compaq Center. This was the last NBA postseason to feature back-to-backs in the conference semifinals. (en)
- Los Playoffs de la NBA de 1999 fueron el torneo final de la temporada 1998-99 de la NBA. El campeón fue San Antonio Spurs (Conferencia Oeste) que conseguía así su primer título de la historia de la NBA, lo consiguió venciendo a New York Knicks, último clasificado de la Conferencia Este y que por tanto no pudo disponer de la ventaja de campo en ningún encuentro durante estas series, lo que hizo mucho más meritorio llegar a las finales de la NBA. El MVP de las Finales fue Tim Duncan de los San Antonio Spurs. Los playoffs de 1999 también estuvieron marcados por la primera aparición de los Philadelphia 76ers desde que llegasen hasta la segunda ronda y fuesen vencidos por los Chicago Bulls, y también su primera aparición desde que seleccionasen en el draft de 1996 a Allen Iverson en el primer puesto. Iverson lideraría más tarde a los Sixers hasta las finales de 2001. Los Bulls, a pesar de defender el título, fallaron al no clasificarse (principalmente se achaca al retiro de Michael Jordan). (es)
