1966 - 1967 NY Knicks Autographed Basketball - This ball comes from my personal collection. It has autographs of the team, head coach and the trainer (listed below). Before moving to Florida, I was a huge Knicks fan for decades. My wife and I would travel downstate a few times a year and treat ourselves to a Madison Square Garden weekend with courtside seats. We were there for the Linsanity action and then after the team was blown apart by the acquisition of Melo we tried but it wasn't the same. This ball belongs with a New Yorker or NY Knicks fan to enjoy as much as I did.
The autographs on the ball are as follows:
Walt Bellamy
Willis Reed
Emmette Bryant
Dick Van Ardsdale
Cazzie Russell
Freddie Crawford
Henry Akin
Howard Komives
Dave Deutsch
Neil Johnson
Wayne Mollis
Dick McGuire - Head Coach 65-67
Bill Norris - Athletic Trainer
Lastly, the ball needs some air (and it does hold air) I just haven't filled it since our move from up North. The signatures are readable but the flash makes the close-ups look more washed out. If you look at the pics of the ball in the first and 2nd pics you can see what I mean. I acquired the ball from an older gentleman 20 years ago whose son part of the training staff. I was beyond excited to get it. A rare vintage Knicks fan find.
I am including Priority Shipping with Signature Tracking and Insurance in the purchase price. Stay safe and thank you for looking.
