Presented here is a PSA-slabbed ticket stub from one of the most epic NBA Finals games in history, and the New York Knicks’ first NBA title. This ticket is from Game 7 of the 1970 NBA Finals, a game in which the Knicks emerged victorious over the Los Angeles Lakers.
The stub itself is the lone PSA Authentic example in the population report, with just one example graded higher. The PSA slab notes that this Game 7, along with being the first Knicks championship, was the "Willis Reed Game." Reed, the 1969-70 regular season MVP, was forced to sit out Game 6 after suffering a torn thigh muscle in Game 5. He decided to give it a go in Game 7, receiving painkiller injections and limping to the court during warmups. When the Madison Square Garden court saw Reed on the court, they simply went berserk.
Although it is remembered as the "Wills Reed Game", Knick Walt "Clyde" Frazier contributed a mindbending 36 points and 19 assists in the game, one of the most guady stat lines in NBA Finals Game 7 history.
Reed’s stat line is not what would be remembered, but rather the absolute spark that he provided his teammates en route to the decisive 113-99 Knicks win. In 2010, ESPN named this thrilling contest the greatest Game 7 in NBA Finals history.
