Coming off a preseason loss to the Boston Celtics, the New York Knicks hosted their annual open practice the following day. The open practice gave fans an opportunity to see how the New York Knicks prepare for their games.
There were a few Knicks greats—John Starks, Earl Monroe, Allan Houston, and Herb Williams—in attendance.
Before the open practice started, several fans competed in festivities that involved prizes.
After these festivities were over, the Knicks were introduced to the court. Joakim Noah then addressed the 8,729 fans in attendance and thanked them for coming out to support the team.
