Watching the Knicks stay kinda competitive with the Heat on this Christmas morning made me think about the good ‘ole days when I lived in New York, the 90s. New York made the playoffs every year in that decade. One of my favorite Knicks was Anthony Mason. A New York dude (he was originally from Queens), Mason started with the Knicks in 1991. With Xavier McDaniel, Charles Oakley and Patrick Ewing, the Knicks back then were a physical team. Mase was a big part of it. He had a rough-tough game and a cockiness that I admired.
