Knicks will celebrate 1984 — no, not the George Orwell classic

The Knicks will celebrate “1984” — not the George Orwell classic but a classic squad that made great Garden memories.

The Post has learned as part of the 70th anniversary celebration on March 29 the Knicks are planning a reunion of the 1983-1984 squad coached by Hubie Brown — a club that shocked the Isiah Thomas/Bill Laimbeer Pistons in a 3-2 first-round classic.

The Knicks’ ouster of the Pistons was their most important achievement at the time since winning the 1973 title. The Knicks were beaten in seven-game series in the second round by the Celtics. The Knicks were led by Bernard King, Bill Cartwright, Ernie Grunfeld, Truck Robinson, Trent Tucker and Rory Sparrow.
