Book Review: "Kings of the Garden" by Adam J. Criblez
Briefly

Criblez reflects upon the Knicks' Golden Age in 1973 and the consecutive period known as the Silver Age, emphasizing player turnover and inconsistency as hallmarks of that time.
The book delves into the intersection of Black culture, NBA basketball, rap, graffiti, and b-boying in New York City during the late seventies and early eighties, highlighting its historical significance.
Criblez's work features interviews with numerous past Knicks players and executives, complemented by black-and-white photos, making it a visually appealing addition to any Knicks fan's collection.
The Knicks had a rollercoaster ride through the '70s after their NBA Finals victories, facing ups and downs, epitomizing the struggles of a developing Black culture in the United States during that era.
