The Knicks have tried to preach toughness as they prepare for the current NBA season. Tuesday morning Knicks coach David Fizdale showed his team just what toughness really is.

Fizdale and the Knicks front office arranged a visit for the team to the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, remaining overnight in Washington after their preseason game and rather than practicing, paying a visit to wounded soldiers.
