SI.com: Iconic Knick Photos

Quite simply, Sports Illustrated’s photography will always make them relevant, even if the publishing world dissolves someday. They are a venerable library of the greatest moments in sports captured on film. I had the opportunity to work there for a few years, and it was a tremendous experience.

Granted, recently, SI has done a great job staying relevant with the Torre book and the A-Roid scandal, and they’ve recently done a great job putting together a Knicks photo scrapbook.

If you know me you know that my favorite All-Time Knicks were Oak and Ewing, which is odd because I was a guard. Although he was only here a short time, Derek Harper’s ability to lead from a defensive standpoint always made me admire him tremendously. He would have been the finals MVP in 1994 had we won, as far as I’m concerned. He’ll always be one of my favorites as well. Heck, they change the hand check rules because of him.

Imagine bring the ball up all game against that guy?

Anyway, enjoy the photos. They are special across the board and they tell the story of the Knicks over the past 50-plus years.
