Poster for the upcoming documentary from ESPN film’s 30 for 30 series Winning Time: Reggie Miller vs. The New York Knicks.
From director Dan Klores:
Reggie Miller gave New York the finger. The whole city.
The 6’7” wiry shooting guard of the Indiana Pacers tortured the Knicks. If he didn’t beat Riley, Ewing, Oakley and Starks with his quick release and unlimited range, he made them think he would. He took pleasure in letting the packed Madison Square Garden know it was his show and his game that they were watching during the 1994-1995 playoffs.
Winning Time: Reggie Miller vs. The New York Knicks, by award-winning filmmaker Dan Klores, will zero in on the dramatic seven game 1995 playoff series between Reggie’s Pacers and the Knicks. The series was front page news in the NYC tabloids, a war of words between the glib Miller and Knick fanatic Spike Lee, included appearances on Letterman, pronouncements by Giuliani, fistfights between teammates, near riots by Indiana fans, chokes, overtimes, finger rolls and bitterness not only between Hall of Fame coaches, Pat Riley and Larry Brown, but between the two most precious basketball cultures in America - Hoosier Land vs. “New Yawk”.
The film will screen at the Sundance Film Festival in January and gets its TV debut on ESPN March 14th at 9PM.

Isaac Davis (from the film Manhattan):
Why is life worth living? It’s a very good question. Um… Well, There are certain things I guess that make it worthwhile. uh… Like what… okay… um… For me, uh… ooh… I would say… what, Groucho Marx, to name one thing… uh… um… and Wilie Mays… and um… the 2nd movement of the Jupiter Symphony… and um… Louis Armstrong, recording of Potato Head Blues… um… Swedish movies, naturally… Sentimental Education by Flaubert… uh… Marlon Brando, Frank Sinatra… um… those incredible Apples and Pears by Cezanne… uh… the crabs at Sam Wo’s… uh… Tracy’s face…
I believe Woody left out the New York Knicks in that list for a reason…
This is genius.
Apparently Knicks games are so bad fans are more entertained by a lost fan than the actual game. Leave it to improv theatre actors to get Knicks fans off their seats and chanting, if not even for their own team. This Rob guy’s probably generated more fan reaction than Darko Milicic and does it without even touching a basketball. Oh wait a minute, I guess he and Darko at least have that in common.
Apparently Jackie Moon just got signed to the Knicks?

In Case You Missed It: KG’s clutch 20-footer buzzer-beater (this time it counts) in OT against the Knicks. I know right? I’m just as surprised as you are the Knicks took the Celtics to OT and lost only by two points.

Exclusive! Richie Cunningham has just joined the Knicks. With all the previous drama and consipracy theories surrounding David Lee’s signing, he should fit right in.
