Hardback with DJ. Dave DeBusschere gives an excellent account of the 1969-70 championship season of the New York Knicks. DeBusschere, a forward, was known for his suffocating defense, physical style of play and tenaciousness. When the Knicks acquired DeBusschere in a trade with the Detroit Pistons, it was considered the last piece needed for a championship team. Pride, teamwork and defense fueled the Knicks. Coach Red Holzman preached that defense created offense. On defense, the Knicks overplayed, trapped, gambled, double teamed and pressed. DeBusschere fit in perfectly with Bill Bradley, Dick Barnett, Willis Reed and Walt Frazier. In his day-by-day diary, DeBusschere gives the reader a vivid idea of what it was like to go through an entire season, from training camp to the championship. The wear-and-tear, physical and mental strain and the ups and downs are recorded. This is a classic account of a championship run of a great team and a classic of the sports memoir genre. An absorbing read by a gifted writer and player. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 267 pages. Seller Inventory # 59686
