The New York Knicks are going very well at the moment, but that does not prevent them from deploring a small hecatomb in the level of injuries. Inside, where Obi Toppin and Nerlens Noel are on the flank, Tom Thibodeau would like to have an additional player, if possible very experienced. According to SNY, the Knicks, who have the 8th best record in the league this season so far, are hesitating between two veterans who have already passed through their ranks: Tyson Chandler and Taj Gibson.
Tyson Chandler was fondly remembered at Madison Square Garden, where he was voted best defenseman of the year in 2012, during one of the Knicks’ last good seasons. If the 38-year-old pivot is the lucky one, there will be again a player who faced Michael Jordan in the NBA. At 19, and while wearing the Chicago Bulls jersey – as a symbol – Tyson Chandler faced Jordan and the Washington Wizards.
There is only one active player left who has faced Michael Jordan
Jamal Crawford, who did not retire after leaving freelance with the Brooklyn Nets last season, can also boast of having been an opponent of the icon four times. The virtuoso of crossover and four-point action is currently without a contract, two months away from his 41 years.
