The Knicks were a great team to watch in those days

I remember him, including his memorable entrance to the Garden in their 7th and final championship game against the lakers where he actually came back to play after injuring his leg in his previous game. The standing ovation at his entrance lasted several minutes.

He won two championships for the Knicks (1970 and 1973), together with the great and flashy point guard, Walt Frazier. Those were the ONLY NBA championships for the Knicks. The Knicks almost had another ring when Pat Ewing was their center but fell short against Houston, who had Hakeem Olajuwon.

You just knew the Lakers players were thinking “We’re Toast!” when Reed came out.

I get so sick of the racist crap that goes around.

Totally agree with your points, same with my friends. It's the last 20-30 years that the Left has divided America because they need 95% of the Black vote to win nationally and thus they need people divided.
