Dave DeBusschere is one of those guys who got kind of pushed out of the public consciousness by later greats but he was a remarkable athlete.
Born in Detroit in 1940, he stayed home at the University of Detroit where he starred in both baseball and basketball.
Amazingly, he starred for both the Pistons and the Tigers after college and, at the age of 23, was named player-coach of the Pistons.
Eventually he gave up pitching and was later traded to the Knicks in 1968 where his greatness found a natural home.
Red Holzman had carefully assembled at team for the ages: Willis Reed, Walt Frazier, Earl Monroe, Bill Bradley, Jerry Lucas, Dick Barnett and DeBusschere.
