In a somewhat confusing result, the #1 moment was actually from two games, games 5+7 of the 1970 NBA Finals. Game 7 is legendary to Knicks’ fans as it was when Willis Reed limped onto the court after being injured previously in the series, but apparently the panel of experts felt that the two belonged together. (Interestingly, online voters placed that #37th)

Rounding out the Top-5 were: Rangers winning the Cup in 1994, Ali-Frazier in 71, the Concert for New York after 9/11 and the Pope’s visit in 1979. Viewers put the Rangers’ first home game after 9/11 as #1 followed by the cup victory, Elvis selling out the Garden in 1972, Gretzky retiring in 1999 and Stephane Matteau’s game-winner in the ’94 conference semifinals.
