Does the name Terry Cummings mean anything to you?
The 1997-98 season was the ‘90s Knicks version of a down year. Patrick Ewing broke his wrist in December, leaving a team that had been a title contender four of the past five years marooned among the East’s also-rans. But being the ‘90s, even a “bad” Knicks team finished above .500 and avenged the P.J. Brown Atrocity by eliminating Miami on their home floor in the decisive Game 5.
Rewind to February that season. The Knicks traded fan-favorite Herb Williams in a deal to the 76ers for Cummings.
