Chris Herring's new book, Blood In The Garden, explores the triumphs and heartbreaks of the New York Knicks and offers an expansive look at the team in the 1990s. Here's an interview with the author on AllOfItWNYC
Charles Oakley, Patrick Ewing, Xavier McDaniel of the 1990s New York Knicks., explores the triumphs and heartbreaks of the New York Knicks and offers an expansive look at the team in the 1990s. Whether you love them, hate them, love to hate them, or have completely abandoned them for the Brooklyn Nets, they've got a fascinating history to explore—from winners to losers to laughing stock, Herring explores it all, kicking things off in the 1970s before zooming in on the 1990s.
And the Knicks were in the middle of New York City, which was a place that was obviously hit by a lot of that stuff too. So it got so bad that the players wouldn't come to practice sometimes and stopped coming to practices during Red Holzman's last year, the legendary coach that they had.
What was one of the first things that happened in the nineties that started to change things for the Knicks? There's this moment in the book you write about an ad agency coming up with this line, "Tough town, tough team." And the picture is an overhead shot of the Garden floor with a cutout in the paint of like a dead body, a chalk outline... So how did that symbolize the Knicks at the time? Who would be happy with that image and who wouldn't?
