INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A SELECTION ON BARACK OBAMA’S SUMMER READING LIST The definitive history of the 1990s New York Knicks, illustrating how Pat Riley, Patrick Ewing, John Starks, Charles Oakley, and Anthony Mason resurrected the iconic franchise through oppressive physicality and unmatched grit.For nearly an entire generation, the New York Knicks have been a laughingstock franchise. Since 2001, they’ve spent more money, lost more games, and won fewer playoff series than any other NBA team. But during the preceding era, the Big Apple had a club it was madly in love with—one that earned respect not only by winning, but through brute force. The Knicks were always looking for fights, often at the encouragement of Pat Riley. They fought opposing players. They fought each other. Hell, they even occasionally fought their own coaches. The NBA didn’t take kindly to their fighting spirit. Within two years, league officials moved to alter several rules to stop New York from turning its basketball games into bloody mudwrestling matches. Nevertheless, as the 1990s progressed, the Knicks endeared themselves to millions of fans; not for how much they won, but for their colorful cast of characters and their hardworking mentality. Now, through his original reporting and interviews with more than two hundred people, author Chris Herring delves into the origin, evolution, and eventual demise of the iconic club. He takes us inside the locker room, executive boardrooms, and onto the court for the key moments that lifted the club to new heights, and the ones that threatened to send everything crashing down in spectacular fashion. Blood in the Garden is a portrait filled with eye-opening details that have never been shared before, revealing the full story of the franchise in the midst of the NBA’s golden era. And rest assured, no punches will be pulled. Which is just how those rough-and-tumble Knicks would like it.

LIBRO RECOMENDADO POR BARACK OBAMALa historia definitiva de cómo Pat Riley, Patrick Ewing, John Starks, Charles Oakley y Anthony Mason resucitaron la icónica franquicia con un juego tremendamente físico y un coraje y una determinación inigualables.Para casi toda una generación, los New York Knicks han sido una broma. Desde 2001, la franquicia ha gastado más dinero, perdido más partidos y ganado menos series de playoffs que cualquier otro equipo de la NBA. Pero durante la era anterior, la Gran Manzana estaba locamente enamorada de unos Knicks que se ganaron el respeto no solo por ganar, sino por la fuerza bruta que empleaban.Los Knicks siempre buscaban pelea, a menudo animados por su entrenador, Pat Riley. Pelearon contra jugadores contrarios. Pelearon entre sí. Demonios, ¡incluso se pelearon con sus entrenadores!La NBA no se tomó bien su espíritu de lucha. En dos años, los funcionarios de la liga movieron hilos para modificar varias reglas y evitar así que Nueva York convirtiera el baloncesto en sangrientos combates de lucha libre. Sin embargo, a medida que avanzaba la década de 1990, el equipo se ganó el cariño de millones de aficionados.En Sangre en el Garden, Chris Herring profundiza en el origen, la evolución y hundimiento de la icónica franquicia, y nos lleva al vestuario, las salas de juntas y a la pista para mostrarnos los momentos clave que elevaron al equipo a las alturas y los que amenazaron con derrumbar todo el edificio. Sangre en el Garden es un retrato adictivo, lleno de detalles reveladores que nunca antes se habían divulgado, sobre una época y un equipo inolvidables.
