Big night tonight for my Knicks and hoping they can channel the ‘73 team including Earl the Pearl who was a key part of their success and championship.

Earl the Pearl

Earl “The Pearl” Monroe (with fellow “50 Greatest” player, teammate Walt “Clyde” Frazier looking on) on the April 16, 1973 cover of Sports Illustrated. The Knicks closed out Monroe’s former team, the Baltimore Bullets, in the opening round of the NBA playoffs on their way to the ‘73 title. It remains their most recent NBA championship.
