John thank you for your incredible work, passion and thoughtfulness in presenting these daily updates!! I’m old enuf to have been around to witness the glory days of the 60s-70s. Clyde was the only sports figure in my life that I can truly say I idolized. You mentioned how those Knicks must have captivated the city, and I can confirm that 100%. It was a truly magical run! And just bc those teams did win championships, I do favor Clyde as the #1 choice on your list. I respect your opinion and it’s certainly a tough call, but Clyde def gets my vote. Again thank you

John, awesome work! That said, I am old enough to have been a Knick fanatic in the late 60's and early 70's, loved our Ewing run, and I long for another great Knicks team to watch but Clyde is number 1 in my book. No numbers needed. When watching the Knicks with Clyde, I fully expected that whenever the Knicks needed something, anything, Clyde would deliver. When I watched the Ewing Knicks, I always watched with dread, knowing that Ewing would likely fall just short of being great ... It was not the play of the players around him, it was the play of Ewing himself. The same feeling I get when Julius gets the ball in key moments and you know he's going to dribble straight into a pile of defenders and bobble the possession away. Ewing was no Clyde... just my 2 cents ... Thanks for a great season. Entertaining, thoughtful, inciteful, educational and personal. I'm glad to be a subscriber.
