The Man who Lit Up the Knicks

There are a lot of wannabes who show up at the Garden and want to be treated like the second coming.

But there is no one who can top the game that Pistol Pete Maravich brought to the Garden many years ago. Guarded by the legendary Walt Frazier, Maravich put on a show like no other.

Update: I had mistakenly thought this game was played at MSG. I was remembering something I had recently read in the Maravich Biography by Kriegal. In any case, the media is having a feeding frenzy on the record statistical games certain players are having against the Knicks. let's just say its happened before when we had an 'A' team on the floor.

Frazier is rumored to have asked Monroe to try guarding the Pistol to which Monroe is said to have responded, "I thought you were the defensive specialist around here."

No three point line my friends.

Pete Maravich didn't score 68 points at Madision Square Garden. It was a home game for the Jazz, how played their home games at the Louisiana Superdome, not the Garden.

Ye Newe Glory-torium

Here, dear readers, is the final resting place of all weary Knicks fans. Yes, here is where one comes when the Triangle refuses to have three sides, when biting one's lip from losing to win later is one loss too far,or when said fan simply hits 'rock' bottom. In short, "the ship be" eternally "sinking" here. Welcome aboard, rearrange the deck chairs as you please.
