The 1973 New York Knicks, led by coach Red Holzman and a star-studded frontcourt, defeated the high-octane Los Angeles Lakers in a five-game NBA Finals. Willis Reed, the hero of the 1970 NBA Finals, was named Finals MVP after scoring 16.4 points with 9.2 rebounds per game. To-date, this is the last title in franchise history. Offered here are two multi-signed items from the 1973 World Champion New York Knicks. The first item is a Spalding Official Game Ball that has been signed by six members of the 1973 Knicks. All of the signatures have been signed in black marker and this ball is a limited-edition 204/500. Signatures include Willis Reed, Bill Bradley, Walt Frazier, Earl Monroe, Dave DeBusschere and Red Holtzman. This comes with a STICKER ONLY from Upper Deck Authenticated (BAC20176). The second item is a 30 x 30-inch framed piece that was made “from the lens of George Kalinsky”. This piece is a limited-edition 90/250 and features individual game photos of players and staff from the 1973 team.
