Joining the New York Knicks in 1994 was a shock to the system for Derek Harper. In this From the KFTV Archives mini-episode, Harper explains how one of his first Knicks practices instantly taught him the difference between a losing team and a championship team. From diving for loose balls to the intensity of Anthony Mason, Charles Oakley, and Greg Anthony, this is a timeless story about Knicks culture, accountability, and why New York basketball hit different in the 90s. A classic behind-the-scenes Knicks story from one of the floor generals of the 1994 Finals team.
