GREENBURGH, N.Y. — Donnie Walsh’s cell phone rang in the middle of Knicks’ practice Tuesday, and the Knicks president stepped away from a large contingent of reporters to take the call.Whether it was Allen Iverson or his agent on the other end we may never know.
But Walsh said the Knicks are “checking into” bringing the 10-time NBA All-Star to New York to help revive a team that is off to its worst start in franchise history (1-9) and threatening to spiral out of control.
“I’ve always had a lot of admiration for him because I had to play against him in the playoffs every year when I was in Indiana and I have a lot of respect for his career,” Walsh said after practice. “He’s a small man who did everything he could to win games and took a lot of hard knocks and always got up.”
