The memory of Seth Curry, an NBA outcast at the time, sitting by his lonesome in the stands watching his brother excel, remains implanted in my brain. Excuse me while I give him a standing O for making himself into an indispensable component at both ends for a winning outfit...

NOLA, I’m told, is assembling assets in all out effort to leapfrog Knicks into second slot in order to snare RJ Barrett. Obviously, Pels are offering Grizz No 4 pick as part payment. No pity parties planned. NY would land Morant or Garland. Memphis would pluck point that drops...

Since ABC/ESPN almost certainly won’t acknowledge, or barely mention, the Nuggets team that lost to Nets in 1976, ABA’s last title, it had HOFers—David Thompson, Dan Issel, Bobby Jones. Also Marvin Webster, Ralph Simpson, Gus Gerard, Chuck Brown, Monte Towe: Larry Brown coached.

So Curry, we’re informed, is the fifth Warrior to erupt for 60 or more points in a game. Klay Thompson, Joe Fulks and Rick Barry also did it once. It’s then casually mentioned, almost as an afterthought, that Wilt Chamberlain did it 27 times.

Louis Orr’s death (cancer) at 64 staggers me. He was as stainless as anyone I’ve met. An undaunted standup loyalist who scolded me as a rookie in our 1st locker room meeting for writing something negative re Syracuse teammate Roosevelt Bouie. Earned my instant & eternal respect!

There are 2 solutions to James Dolan’s decision to bar Daily News reporters from Knix press conferences or any other team function: Adam Silver must put an immediate stop to such Trumpish behavior. Or the metropolitan media must boycott the Knicks; cease covering them entirely!

Earl Cureton’s sudden death at 66 makes me ill. All the time around each other during his years as a 76er, Rocket & Piston, he’d always forge good feelings, a welcome committee of one. No ulterior motive. No reason than he was a genteel gentleman. He was that way with everybody.
