The era will be unmatched. The theme song. Trautwig. Marv Albert. The era. Everything.

Absolute legend. There are so many greats of Knick broadcasting and he's right near the top.

See below:

Trautwig had told Newsday last year shortly after his 68th birthday that he had undergone cancer treatment, though he did not say what type of cancer it had been.

Sorry to hear this. I remember watching Al cover games in the 90s when I'd flip over to watch Knicks games.

May he rest well, and peacefully.

I saw 68 and that's immediately where my mind went.
