No doubt the 1970s Knicks would have won at least 1 playoff series versus the Bill Russell Celtics if they had played at least 2x. The Willis led clubs had one of the great defenses in NBA history. Unlike the 1968-‘72 era West/Wilt led Lakers.

That Knicks team was well balanced and deep off the bench. A list of HOF players from that team. They would have beaten some of those Celtics teams because they could match the Celtics position for position, and they were every bit as smart as those Celtics.

Willis Reed had one of the greatest stat lines in NBA history with 36 points and 36 rebounds in the 1970 playoffs on April 2nd, 1970 in a win against the Baltimore Bullets in Game 5 of the East Semifinals. The 36 rebounds is a Knicks’ franchise record for the playoffs. Reed is also tied with Harry Gallatin for the Knicks’ regular season franchise record for rebounds with 33.
Reed is one of only three players in NBA/ABA history (other than Wilt and Russell) to record 35+ rebounds in a playoff game. The only other NBA player to do it was Bill Bridges of the Atlanta Hawks in a Game 2 win (ironically against Reed and the Knicks) in the 1971 East Semifinals with 12 points and 36 rebounds. The ABA player who did it was Tom “Trooper” Washington of the Pittsburgh Pipers in the ABA, with 26 points and 35 rebounds (17 offensive, both ABA playoff records) in Game 2 of the 1968 ABA Eastern Division Finals against the Minnesota Muskies on April 6th, 1968
Wilt, Russell, Kareem, Moses Malone, and Reed are the only players in NBA/ABA history to record 30+ points/30+ rebounds in a playoff game. Malone did it as a rookie with the Utah Stars in the 1975 ABA playoffs with 30 points and 32 rebounds (14 offensive) on 13/16 shooting in a Game 3 win against the Denver Nuggets on April 9th, 1975
No NBA player has recorded 30+ rebounds in a playoff game since Wilt last did it with the Lakers on April 19th, 1973 (5 points/30 rebounds/4 assists) against the Warriors in Game 2 of the 1973 WCF, showing just how rare this feat is.

Willis Reed was not ONLY a great athlete, and basketball player, and team captain…
He was a great MAN—and was truly respected and BELOVED by people…. because of what an extraordinarily GOOD man he was.
I know he knew we loved and respected him….but I don’t know if he knew how MUCH….
Thank you Mr. Reed for all your work and care and thrills and smiles, we could not be more proud of you.
And…Lay down that big oversized HEART that you have been carrying around for 80 years, and may God rest your soul.
