The city of New York has a proud history in American sports led by the greatest professional team in the history of modern sports, the Yankees. But also commanding a huge following is the city’s fabled basketball team, the New York Knicks.
As a tribute to the Knicks, we take a look at the three greatest Knicks players of all-time.
Willis Reed
With almost 19 PPG, 13 RPG, and 2 APG, it’s easy to see while Captain Courageous would be one of our choices for the greatest Knicks. Reed played for a decade in the Big Apple and averaged a double-double for his first seven seasons, but then his game declined due to a number of serious injuries.
Walt Frazier
The Knicks had no greater point guard than Walt Frazier. He had 21 PPG, 6RPG and 8 APG in the Knicks championship run in the 1969-1970 season. And when it mattered most, in game 7 of the Finals, he poured in 36 points, making 19 assists, and grabbing 7 rebounds.
Patrick Ewing
While he never won a championship, we will always consider Patrick Ewing the greatest player to ever wear a Knick uniform. The undisputed Knick leader in the ‘80s and ‘90s, Ewing came ever so close in 1994 but lost to Hakeem Olajuwon and the Houston Rockets. His height and shooting touch made him one of the premier centers in NBA history.
