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

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.
-
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 was a Great Big Man & a Great All Around Player.
-
Either way.....we were a team loaded with future Hall of Famers! :)

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! :)

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.
