Known mainly as a player for the Knicks & maybe my favorite Knick ever.
Also was coach, GM and VP of our Nets.

This one makes me sad.

It’s been 50 since Willis lead the Knicks to a title in 1973. Clyde , Earl Monroe, Bill Bradley, Dave DeBusseure and the Captain Willis Reed. What a fantastic team and they had a great bench too.
