Two peas in a pod
Important day today for the Knicks faithful.
Red Holzman was born on this day in 1920. Red coached the Knicks to those two fucking championships in the 70's that if you live in New York or hang out with any Knicks fans you have to hear about all the time as if they happened yesterday. Evidently, Red was also a great dude and everybody loved him. He was elected into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 1985, and died in 1998. Check him out in that picture above doing his Gene Hackman impression. You'd think he'd seen Hoosiers like a hundred times.
And the Starkinator, John Starks, turns 41 today. Starks, you may recall, is the main reason that the Knicks failed to win another championship in 1994, and yet Knicks fans still tremble at the mention of his name. Maybe it's because of this.

Perhaps, perhaps holding a torch for Red is annoying and absurd. But is it so different from holding a soft and crusty spot in one's heart for ol' Dallas Green? I think not. You understand.
Look, Dago, I'm from Philly. We don't HAVE that much to work with, you feel me? Motherfuckin New Yorkers trip over championships on their way to the kitchen in the morning.
