Mark Jackson, Johnny Newman, Rod Strickland, Trent Tucker and Gerald Wilkins are back with Knicks historian Denis D’Agostino for a reunion to stream live on Facebook this Saturday, Feb 4 at Madison Square Garden.
The top three-point shooters from the 1988-89 Atlantic Division Champion New York Knickerbockers basketball team will be reunited – 28 years later – in celebration of the franchise’s 70th anniversary season.
The quintet’s legacy, then known as “The Bomb Squad,” was established when they shattered league records for long-distance shooting, setting marks that almost doubled previous totals.
This reunion is part of a season-long Hardwood Classics series, presented by Chase and streamed on Facebook Live (www.facebook.com/nyknicks).
