This week’s installment of Who Wore it Best shifts the spotlight to #13. As we did with the #10, we are respectfully skipping over #12 in honor of the late great Dick Barnett. A total of fifteen players have worn the #13 for the Knicks, making it the smallest pool of players to choose from among the numbers we’ve examined so far. While the roster boasts several noteworthy names, a #13 Knick has made just one All-Star game in franchise history.
Although the Knicks were one of the league’s original eleven teams who debuted with the league in 1946, the #13 would not see the light of day in New York City until 1978 when Ray Williams became the first Knick to don the number.
