The Chicago Bulls’ Michael Jordan’s three-point explosion in Game 1 of the 1992 NBA Finals against Portland is easily one of the greatest performances I’ve ever seen. As he made his sixth straight, he winked directly at (broadcast partner) Mike (Fratello) and me and held his palms up in a shrug, as if to say, What can I do?

There are people in New York who feel I should have more of a hometown approach. I feel we have to be a mirror and reflect whats happening on the court.

It's impossible to work under conditions where they confused negativity with objectivity. You can't fool the fans.

In 1957, I was a 16-year-old office boy for the Dodgers.

My strong game was ping pong. Relentless... steady.

I feel I'm better now than I ever have been. You learn so much as you're doing it. I'm watching tapes and I'll see things that get me annoyed and where I know I can improve. I understand better letting the crowd play more. I've always said it was important for me who I was working with, because I like to kid around a lot. But I've also learned to use my partner better. I'm feeling good. There's no reason to stop.

Theres a fine line between physical and thug ball, and the Knicks have crossed the line on occasion.
