Pat Riley, Dave Checketts and Ernie Grunfeld - they brought the Knicks back to the glory days. It started with Rick Pitino. We took our first step with him, making the playoffs. When Pat came in we just kicked the door open.
The good kind of spin - backspin - comes from hitting the ball cleanly, then making a divot after impact.
