My list of top Knicks

Interesting column on the best Knick ever — got me thinking about how I would rank them (I go back only as far as the championship squads, so fans of Harry Gallatin, Richie Guerin and Dick McGuire take note).

So here goes:

  1. Willis Reed
  2. Walt Frazier
  3. Patrick Ewing
  4. Dave DeBusschere
  5. Earl Monroe
  6. Bernard King
  7. Bill Bradley
  8. Charles Oakley (his number should be retired and the organization knows it)
  9. Dick Barnett
  10. Jerry Lucas
  11. Jon Starks
  12. Mark Jackson
  13. Bill Cartwright
  14. Michael Ray Richardson
  15. Ray Williams

I know I’ve left some players off (Latrell Sprewell and Allan Houston??) but this seems to be a good start. Knick fans, what do you think?
