Longtime actor, Michael Rapaport has been known to show his Penn Plaza pride and has partnered with ESPN Films to give his account of growing up as a childhood New York Knickerbockers fan. Although he was born into 1970s championships, he’s still yet to properly celebrate a world title – like most in his age category and below.
During the time, the states were plagued and torn by the Vietnam War, racial issues and distrust for the White House. For many, Madison Square Garden was the only place most could have complete peace of mind, or Eden. Willis Reed led the team to three NBA finals in four years, where the team won two titles.
The 85-minute documentary explorers the dynamic backgrounds the championship Knicks players had before arriving to the team, to become a melting pot of so many diverse backgrounds. Combining multiple races and personalities, the entire team played on the largest stage in the word and were successful at showing most what it was like to be a part of a team, on and off the court.
