    "Jeff was trying to be a peacemaker," remembered Thorn, who suspended Mourning then, but not Van Gundy. "He was hanging on for dear life, his hair was askew. Alonzo was shaking him off like a dog."

    Old Van runs into
    new Mourning

    If he had just stopped long enough to consider an evening at the Garden, April 30, 1998, Jeff Van Gundy might never have returned at all. That eventful night was the epitome of helplessness, of chaos, a diminutive coach hanging onto Alonzo Mourning's leg like a rodeo clown on a bull. Zo, and Mini-Zo.

    "If you can't laugh at yourself ...," Van Gundy was saying, thinking back to that yahoo playoff ride on Mourning's oversized sneaker. "That was a pathetic attempt at something. I had all the right intentions."

    This man is committed. I love him.

    Funniest moment in NBA history...nothing else even comes close...Well, maybe Barkley kicking the crap out of the Denver Mountain Lion, but that's it. :)

    espn sports classics channel had shown old film clips of a Lakers / Knicks game in the Garden in ~ 1965.

    in that game Willis Reed single-handedly decked 3 Lakers, and looking for more, then headed for the Laker bench. The bench fled for the safety of the locker room.

    that was a funny site.

    for all that, Reed was fined $500. he often said, more than anyone, in the history of the NBA, he's gotten more bangs for his bucks
