After being dominated by the Cavaliers, and Celtics in back-to-back games, Knicks fans were already in a somber mood. But things took a turn for the worse when on Monday, it was announced that former Knicks broadcaster, Al Trautwig had passed away at just 68 years old after battling an undisclosed form of cancer. While many now associate the Knicks’ excellent broadcast with Mike Breen, and Walt “Clyde” Frazier, two legends in their own right, many fans grew up listening to Trautwig on MSG. Despite the Knicks having some less than stellar years back then, Trautwig, through his recognizably deep voice, and passion for sports, always made Knicks game a pleasure to watch and listen to.
