Welcome!

How did you hear about Ayn Rand? What have you read by her? How old are you?

Welcome Tommy:

Since European players are starting to become dominant in the National Black Association, oops sorry, the National Basketball Association, you picked the right time. I was a seasons ticket holder to the NY Knicks from 1969 to 1975 and saw the only two championships that they ever achieved.

However, that is ancient history to you, lol.

Is the exchange rate to US dollars the same? Reason I ask is that an ounce is 735 or so in Swedish currency per ounce and it is over 1,035 ish in US dollars.

Post Script:

Hey Chris, we are starting to sound like a "dating site" ...age, sex and location. I always answered yes I am aging, sex is a participatory sport and location is right here.

I can't say i am that familar with Ayn Rand more then she was for freedom and objectivism.

I am 23 years old.

I have always like the american players better in the NBA, i am not so sure getting more international is the right way to for the NBA, yes millions get excited in China when Yao Ming touches ball thats true. But thats one guy do we need more then half the league to be "offamerinans".

That must have been cool being a ticket holder in those years even though the best Knicks games were against the Bulls in the 90s i would think.

The prices is getting updated all the time. We mostly sell our products on the swedish market, But yes.

Thanks for all the welcomes

Yes, the match ups with the bulls were excellent. I was never a Ewing fan, but he was a great player. Loved Scotty Pippin and his dedication to the game in all phases.

8: 1992 Eastern Semifinals vs. Knicks

A grueling, seven-game war between the Chicago and New York was one of the toughest tests the Bulls ever faced during their six titles in eight years run. Led by Pat Ewing, John Starks, Xavier McDaniel and a crew of physical goons, the Knicks' goal was to put as many bruises and scars on the Bulls as possible. The plan was successful until the decisive Game 7, when MJ scored 42, Scottie had a triple-double and the Bulls won 110-81.

2: 1993 Eastern Finals vs. Knicks

It's strange to think about it because it happened so rarely in the '90s, but the Bulls actually didn't have home court in this series, going to Madison Square Garden for Games 1 and 2. They lost both those contests, but because they still had two future Hall-of-Famers, they still had a chance. MJ dropped 54 in Game 4 to tie the series at two, and in Game 5, Jordan recorded a triple-double (29 pts, 14 ast and 10 reb) and Scottie Pippen swatted three shots in the last ten seconds by NY's Charles Smith** to preserve the win. The Bulls finished off their rivals in Game 6, knocking the Knicks out of the playoffs for the third consecutive year.

** softest playing big man I ever saw - could not stand him.

The recent modern game which came in in the late 70's (guessing) is significantly different from the 60's to early 70's game.

"offamerinans" <<no clue - Swedish slang perhaps??

[Tommy23]

Yeah Knicks had quite a crazy big man line up with crazy Mcdaniels in front row.

Took some time to figure out my own words but i think it suppose to say off americans, like not american haha well well.

I kinda thought that was it. I try not to assume, I thought it might be kinky Swedish slang. lol

In game seven of the finals in 1969 1970, two games after Willis Reed blew out his thigh, Clyde Frazier scored 35 points, 17 or 19 assists and 12 rebounds if I remember correctly and several steals.

In the 1969–70 season, the Knicks had a then-NBA record 18 straight victories en route to 60–22 record, which was the best regular season record in the team's history. After defeating the Bullets in the Eastern Division semifinals and the Milwaukee Bucks in the Eastern Division finals, the Knicks faced the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA Finals.

With the series tied at 2–2, the Knicks would be tested in Game 5. Reed tore a muscle in his right leg in the second quarter, and was lost for the rest of the game. Despite his absence, New York would go on to win the game, rallying from a 16–point deficit. Without their injured captain the Knicks would lose Game 6, setting up one of the most famous moments in NBA history. Reed limped onto the court before the 7th game, determined to play through his pain. He scored New York's first two baskets before going scoreless for the remainder of the contest. Although he was not at full strength, Reed's heroics inspired the Knicks, and they won the game by a score of 113–99, giving them their first championship.^[5] The entire starting line up for the 69–70 Knicks had their jerseys retired by the New York Knicks. The jerseys of Walt Frazier (#10), Willis Reed (#19), Dave DeBusschere (#22), Bill Bradley (#24), and Dick Barnett (#12) all hang from the rafters at Madison Square Garden. Reed's walking on to the court was voted the greatest moment in Madison Square Garden history.

Yep, We were so psyched that night. We had even copied about a 1,000 flyers which said: When Wilt gets in the lane, start counting...one...two...three because he, being a 7'2" super star got even more assistance from the refs! Go figure. At any rate, we passed them around in the blues the upper, and the bottom two level also. The first time Wilt hit the lane, 19,500+ voices start voices started counting.

The refs looked up and shook their head. They knew it was going to be a long night. NY fans are so intense and knowledgeable, that we would call a charge or a travel before the refs.

Great year.

MacAdoo was another offensive force, no defense, or soft defensively and not a good rebounder for such a big black man. Boy could shoot and score though.

Continued welcome.

Still involved in the currency?

All I hear about is the EU and the PIGS:

"They are called the PIGS — Portugal, Ireland, Greece, Spain. What they have in common is that all are facing deficits and debts that could bring on national defaults and break up the European Union. What brought the PIGS to the edge of the abyss?

All are neo-socialist states that provide welfare for poor people, generous unemployment, universal health care, early retirement and comfortable pensions. Most consume 40 percent to 50 percent of their gross domestic product annually, a crushing burden on the private sector."
