My Unforgettable Season 1970

My Unforgettable Season 1970

Red Holzman - Hall-of-Fame coach of the 1970 Knicks - takes the reader back to that unforgettable season when the New York Knicks won their first NBA championship. After having finished near the league's bottom for an entire decade, no one expected them to win that year.
Now we have the book that tells it all. Red does for the 1970 Knicks what Roger Kahn did for the inimitable Brooklyn Dodgers in THE BOYS OF SUMMER. Giving us more than just the plays and the box scores, Red and his team reveal themselves in a brand new light. For the first time we see their passions, and their personalities.
The team included Bill Bradley (now senator from New Jersey), Willis Reed, Walt Frazier, Dave DeBusschere, Dick Barnett, and Cazzie Russell. Their opponents included such legendary super-stars as Wilt Chamberlain, Jerry West, Elgin Baylor, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Oscar Robertson. Taking us behind the scenes, Red and his team now give us the stories behind the stories. The players as they really were in life, not just the way they looked on TV.
Then, in a special epilogue, Red and the team play a Fantasy Game with Michael Jordan's Chicago Bulls - and defeat them.
