Scott HastingsGUEST
I think that has life on the internet.
Scott HastingsGUEST
And then I was told, I've not seen it, there was a fight between Lonnie Shelton, who's one of the toughest guys in the, the 80s have played um i mean he about six eight look look like a defensive end probably six eight probably about 265 70 just a big chested dude and buck williams who was was just strong as can be they started a fight same thing underneath the basket they're going to blows And this was like swings and fights, neither guy backing down.
Scott HastingsGUEST
And it goes 94 feet.
Scott HastingsGUEST
It goes the length of the floor all the way to the other basket and into like the first rows, people fell down and whatever.
Kenny AlbertGUEST
just saw parts of it, you know, sleeping for parts and they were giving us the updates during the, uh, during the big comeback, but you know, I was so fortunate.
Kenny AlbertGUEST
go to nick games growing up tag along with him i did the stats during my college years when he did the games with the great john andre so i had a front row seat back in the late 80s and i remember going to games in the in the 70s watching ray williams and michael ray richardson and lonnie shelton you know and bernard king and some of the other uh you know memorable names from from that time period but then having the opportunity to work 15 to 20 games a year with Clyde Frazier.
Kenny AlbertGUEST
Ironically, I didn't do any last year once I made the switch from Rangers radio to TV because I play so many games on the same night.
Kenny AlbertGUEST
So, but it was just, just really an honor to be involved with Clyde and the entire Knicks crew, the great Spencer Julian and Howie Singer, the producer and director for all those years.

No, wait, Mel Turpin probably had one, too.
