What started as a diversion during the Covid-19 pandemic grew into a passion.
That’s how the fascinating book Fred From Fresh Meadows: A Knicks Memoir took a life on its own.
Fred Cantor, the author of the book, is a New Yorker and a retired lawyer. The New York Knicks have been such a big part of his life that he thought of writing about his favorite team at the height of the global pandemic last year.
Without Knicks basketball for most of last year, Cantor killed time by remembering the team that captured his imagination when he was just Fred, the kid from Fresh Meadows, Queens.
