That film of Willis Reed coming out of the Knicks dressing room after an injury and leading them to a victory made him a legend. It is one of the most iconic moments in NBA history. RIP!!!

The Knicks were the first NBA team I was a fan. Reed talked about being recruited by Eddie Robinson to play football at Grambling. (I think he was interviewed by Dick Schaap.) Ernie Ladd and Buck Buchanan were there, and he said they could play basketball.

Captain, rest in peace.

I remember the first time meeting him as a kid. He and my uncle were good friends. man I thought this dude was 10 feet tall. Then at my uncle's funeral he talked about how my uncle got his nickname. He will be missed.
