The 2005 NBA Draft became a milestone for the New York Knicks, as they traded for Nate Robinson‘s rights at No. 21 overall and selected David Lee at No. 30. Both were collegiate stars who found success with the organization in their four-plus years together.
Lee and Robinson were not part of New York’s success from 2010 and on, but they still hold memories from their days in Manhattan. That included the latter’s win in the 2006 NBA Slam Dunk Contest.
On Monday, MSG Networks will air Connections, which features one-on-one conversations between well-known New York sports and entertainment figures.
