Winning Time

Yes, Duane Ferrell was there. Better yet, there was a Kenny Williams appearance. Williams lived near me in Carmel, and sometimes I'd see him shooting around with the kids at the Our Lady of Mt. Carmel outdoor hoops. There was a guy with massive amounts of talent who just seemed mentally incapable of ever harnessing it.

 

Also, the doc left out another interesting incident in the Pacers-Knicks rivalry: when Malik Sealy lost his playbook at Kennedy Airport, and it ended up in the hands of Don Imus during the 1993 series, and then Sealy made it worse by calling Imus' show and begging him not to read it:

It had stuff like "Greg Anthony: easily rattled," and "John Starks: talk about his sister."

Funny thing about that rivalry: for all the morality play about the Pacers representing pure Hoosier basketball, that Indiana team had a lot more New Yorkers associated with it than the Knicks, up to and including the owners.
