Description
The 1990s New York Knicks: A Story of Resilience and Rivalry For nearly two decades, the New York Knicks were a team on the brink of collapse, yet they found a way to thrive through a unique blend of physicality and grit. Under the leadership of Pat Riley, the team's fighting spirit earned them respect from fans and opponents alike, even if it meant courting controversy. As Chris Herring reveals in this comprehensive history, the Knicks' success was built on a cast of colorful characters, from Patrick Ewing to John Starks, and was marked by a series of key moments that lifted the team to new heights, and others that threatened to send everything crashing down. With access to over 200 people involved in the team's history, Herring takes readers inside the locker room, executive boardrooms, and onto the court to tell the story of the Knicks' remarkable journey. Through Herring's original reporting, the story of the 1990s New York Knicks comes alive, offering a fresh perspective on a team that was both loved and loathed in equal measure.
