<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">NEW YORK, New York, May 9, 2007 -- In a season filled with great moments, there are 20 individual performances that stand out. The following list shows the Knicks players at their best: 1. JAMAL CRAWFORD vs. Miami 1/26/07, Knicks win 116-96 Knicks dominate the defending NBA champs? Actually, it’s more like JC dominates the defending champs with a you-had-to-be-there 52-point extravaganza (no teammate scores more than 16). Following a quiet-before-the-storm first period in which he scored three-points, Crawford makes 16 field goals in a row – something no NBA player has accomplished in 10 years. Crawford's shots were falling in every possible fashion to tally 49 points over the next two and a half quarters. He is taken out of the blowout with 6:57 to go. “I just got into a nice rhythm,” understates the smiling JC. “We were rolling pretty nicely on all cylinders,’’ adds forward David Lee. “But it makes it a lot easier when one guy simply can’t miss.’’ 2. EDDY CURRY at Milwaukee 4/7/07, Knicks win 118-113 in OT The 6-11, 285-pound Curry ties the game in regulation with 0.9 seconds left on the clock with his ONLY three-point field goal (on his lone attempt) of the season – then the Knicks go on to a much-needed win to stay on the periphery of the playoff race. Curry scores 43 points on an unbelievable 17-20 shooting, pulls down 13 rebounds, and adds 2 steals. “Mardy Collins did a great job looking for me, ”an overwhelmed (but vainly trying to appear nonchalant) Curry says of his miracle three. “Other than that, it’s just shooting.” 3. DAVID LEE vs. Charlotte 12/20/06, Knicks win in 2 OT 111-109 Four days after the brawl against Denver, the vastly shorthanded Knicks blast back from their largest deficit of the season (19 points down with 2:33 to go in the second period) to win with just eight players. Luckily, one of them is the omnipresent Lee who pulls down 19 rebounds, scores 10 points, and hands out 3 assists. Then, with 0.01 seconds left on the clock in the second OT, he converts a tip-in to win the game for one of the most miraculous finishes in Knick history. “I acted like I was going to set a back screen,” Lee said of the amazing play. “They didn’t communicate well. And from there it was just Jamal Crawford making a perfect pass.” </div> http://www.nba.com/knicks/news/top20_070510.html Source: Knicks Official Website
