I'm old enough, I watched that game. Reed hobbled out made two baskets, that got everyone worked up and Knicks won after Reed couldn't continue.
Almost as good as El Cid (Charleton Heston) leading his army to victory after he was dead.

Robert “Bob” Ingram, of Durham, N.C. and a giant in the pharmaceutical and Porsche worlds, died on March 24.
He was 80.
By the early 1990s, Ingram, along with his wife, Jeanie, and sons Rory and Cam, started a collection of special Porsches. The Ingram Collection of about 80 world-class Porsches was the result of their efforts.
The Ingrams were also Porsche scholars, and the cars in their collection were driven frequently. The Ingrams also used their collection to help numerous charities raise funds.
