SPEAK, MEMORY—
Of the cunning hero,
The wanderer, blown off course time and again
After he plundered Westchester's sacred heights.
By now, all the others who had fought at Westchester Wednesday morning—
At least those who had survived the war with the Ft. Wayne Mad Ants —
Were safely back home. Only Cleanthony Early
Still longed to return to his Garden and his Knicks.
Another battle loomed in Manhattan
A fine test for any young warrior
To prove his mettle
And join the ranks of the immortals.
Early was recalled later Wednesday and got in for the final 3 minutes against the 76ers, joining Troy Daniels, Jordan Farmar, Coby Karl and Luke Harangody as the only players to accomplish a D-League/NBA doubleheader.
