Childs, who played five seasons as a Knick, was the backup point guard for the memorable squad. He appeared in 48 (out of 50) games and was second on the team in assists. Unfortunately, the NBA alum tells SNY.tv and TheKnicksBlog.com that no one from the organization reached out with an invite.
"I have no idea. I talked to John Starks (whose role is listed as Alumni Relations and Fan Development Advisor) the other day. Allan Houston, Kurt Thomas, and Larry Johnson all have my number. It might have to do with me supporting Charles Oakley. "
Following the incident, Childs said he would not have accepted an invite to MSG like Sprewell and so many others did. While Oakley hasn't returned, the two sides have made moves in an attempt to reconcile. Childs even offered to help. The dust has certainly cleared a bit, but Childs was still left without an invite for this special occasion.

I've always had Childs next to Starks, Mase, Oak, Ewing or Sprewell when it came to players that played with their heart for the Knicks, it's too bad three of them (well, two now since Spree finally returned) were blacklisted and one never got a job with the organization and has to coach on other teams..
