Tuesday - Old School NBA Moment

Prior to the 1992-1993 season the Knicks’ marketing department was kicking around campaigns for the upcoming season. They approached Pat Riley. “The first artwork they had me look at was looking down on a basketball court. There was a hoop, and inside the foul circle was a chalk outline of a dead person. I said I didn’t know if I wanted to go that far.” – Pat Riley in The Jordan Rules.

Some would say the Knicks did take it that far. And that it wasn't until last spring that the NBA put an exciting, fan pleasing product on the floor. It's an interesting debate.
