Willis Reed = bad example.



Timmy Smith = great example.

Fair enough BUT would you know who willis reed was if it wasnt for that one game? Let me answer the question for you. No! Lol
Edit: i know he was good, but that one game 7 is who he is today for better or for worse.

If you lived in NY during those years, you absolutely knew that Willis Reed was the heart of that team, short but blocky, strong as an ox, an amazing player. Off the top of my head, the Knicks had gotten DeBuschere from the Pistons, drafted Bill Bradley out of Princeton, Walt Frazier the Saluki from Southern Illinois at guard with Dick Barnett at the other guard. And a wild Afro haired forward all corners and elbows rode the bench learning the game: Phil Jackson.

Stream of consciousness off the top of my head, and I wasn't even a Knicks fan. I guarantee there are millions of Knicks fans who know this story chapter and verse. Willis Reed was the leader if that team. Period.

Anyway, who cares about all that among the Redskins faithful?
