[QUOTE="SWC75, post: 3921848, member: 289"] 1970 OG: 90 NB: 26 Historical: OG: 533 points, 8 victories and 3 rings NB: 233 points, 3 victories and 2 rings. The Comeback: Dad’s teams were now winning on all fronts, producing what might turn out to be his greatest year. The big story was his Knicks won their first ever NBA title in an all-conquering year in which they had the best record in the sport, won the NBA EAST and then beat the Lakers in an incredibly dramatic NBA final. They had a better record than 24 pro basketball teams, won a 7-team division and a 14 team NBA for a total of 44 points. That, by itself, put Junior in his place! But the Rangers weren’t slouches, either, going 38-22-16 (92 NHL points), beating out 8 teams. They then lost in the quarterfinals to the eventual champion Boston Bruins for 9 points. Over the summer, the Old Man was delighted to see the Yankees make a major comeback to 93-69, ten games better than the Mets. That was better than no less than 20 MLB teams, (but not the Orioles who the AL East and everything else). Then the Giants went 9-5, better than 17 NFL teams, (but couldn’t catch the Cowboys and they got beaten out for the Wild Card by the Lions). That’s a total of 90 points, kid…a new record! Junior’s Nets went 39-45, better than 8 pro basketball teams and lost to the Kentucky Colonels, (why didn’t the NBA take them?) in the ABA quarterfinals for 9 points. The Mets regressed to the mean for a team that lacked offense, going 83-79 but beating out 12 MLB teams. The Jets got wiped out by injuries and fell hard to 4-10, better than 5 NFL teams. That gave junior just 26 points, way short of Dad, who took more pleasure in this win than those years in the early 60’s when Junior had nothing. Now it meant something to beat him! [/QUOTE]
