Willis Reed championship item found !
Just received this shorts from the son of a famous hall of famer italian basketball coach.
I was told his father went to New York in 1970 for the NBA finals with the basketball scoutmen Richard Percudani and received this shorts as “souvenir” from the Knicks locker room. Arrived in Italy he showed the trunks to the players asking Sauro Bufalini (Hall of Famer italian basketball player) to wear the trunks. He was one of the “biggest” player at that time but the trunks falled down on his knees because of the giant size.
This the story … any thoughts ?
