One of the finest sports books I've ever read...
Published by Rod , 2 years ago
I'm not even a Knicks fan but I loved this book. It is a great retrospective of the game, when professional basketball television coverage was typically limited to one game a week. Each of the core Knicks players are featured, detailing the lives of Reed, Barnett, Bradley, DeBusschere, Monroe, Russell and others in the past, during the Knicks' heyday, and up until about the year 2010. Author Harvey Araton is an amazing writer and story teller. I was too young to experience the Knicks between 1968 and 1973 but he sets the stage of the humble beginnings and ensuing events perfectly. An amazing book that will never leave my sports shelf.
