During New York’s comeback victory against the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday night, some of the greatest Knicks of all time attended.
A few of the most legendary players to ever suit up in the history of the franchise all went to Madison Square Garden for Game 2 of the opening round against the 76ers in the Eastern Conference postseason.
That includes Carmelo Anthony, John Starks, Latrell Sprewell, Larry Johnson, Tim Thomas, and more. All of these New York legends helped create an amazing playoff atmosphere on Monday night.

Their presence helped get the fans excited but the former players, who created an Alumni Row of sorts, seemed thrilled as well.
Folks seemed genuinely thrilled to have these familiar faces back in the building.
Some of the best moments from New York

Love Tim Thomas, Bernard King, Spree, Starks c Melo all going nuts like fans. As someone who distinctly remembers Reggie Miller playoff theatrics at the Garden… this one was special.
