1972 vs 1995 New York Knicks • 3-on-3 Blacktop Simulation / In today's 3-on-3 Blacktop Simulation, we have an interesting matchup that transcends time: the 1972 New York Knicks vs the 1995 New York Knicks. The 1972 team, led by Walt 'Clyde' Frazier, was at the peak of their game, having won the NBA championship in 1970 and reached the NBA Finals in 1972. Frazier, known for his stylish play and defensive prowess, was a key figure in those successes. On the other side, we have the 1995 Knicks, a gritty, defensive-minded team led by Patrick Ewing. Ewing, a dominant center, was a force inside, and his battles with the likes of Michael Jordan and Reggie Miller are legendary. This simulation, set in the heart of September, will be a clash of styles and eras, with each team looking to assert their dominance in this unique matchup.
