   Picture of the New York Knicks at the team's first training camp; the squad would be cut to ten players by the time the season began. In the top right-hand corner is the quote: "I don't imagine you will find many people up this way who will understand your game...or have an interest in it." This was told to the Knicks' head coach as the team reached the Canadian border; their first (and the NBA's first) game was in Toronto against the Huskies.
