New York basketball legend Cal Ramsey, an ex-Knick and their former TV color analyst, passed away Monday at age 81 of cardiac arrest at Riverside Rehabilitation and Healing Center after a long battle with diabetes.

The Knicks will honor Ramsey with a moment of silence and other tributes, including the wearing of a memorial uniform ribbon, Thursday against the Raptors.

“Cal represented the Knicks with pride for more than five decades as a player, broadcaster and one of the greatest ambassadors in New York City basketball history,” said Knicks owner Jim Dolan said in a statement.
