Man I miss big dave he was tough as nails and the knicks would have never won the championship in 69 without him and thats fact.

even though he played a significant part of his career in New York, Dave D. will always be known as a Deeeetroiter first and foremost.

Agreed.....and that is why the court at the University of Detroit should have been named after him rather than Vitale.

I remember in the early 70's watching him knocking heads with Paul Silas of the Celtics. Man, those were the days.

One of the greatest athletes from Detroit. He led Detroit Austin over Benton Harbor with Chet Walker to win the Michigan High School basketball championship in 1958.

Dave Debusschere...THE greatest knick ever!

He was a legend, no doubt. But you have to put into perspective he played several seasons with Detroit before he came to New York. "Greatest Knick Ever" definitely belongs to someone who had a long career with the team, like Ewing or Frazier. Just my 2 cents.

ok.. that's legit, but even Red Holtzman said that acquiring debusschere was the key that was final piece of the puzzle that brought them 2 titles. Patrick...no titles. Clyde was also a fav of mine. I guess i just "favored" dave more. Have a great day! :)

The pride of both Detroit Austin Catholic High School and Courville Street on the east side of Detroit.

Even though the Celtics ruled basketball, the Knicks get more press and credit just because they play in New York. The Knicks have won a few times, but Boston has more champiionships and have a much better history. The Knicks last title was 35 seasons ago...

Double-D gave New York it's inside defense for two championships. A great player, never heard a bad word about him.
