I also think Kurt Thomas was very underated as a player, steady shot and rebounded and played very good defense.
Wilis Reed was great but I think he will always be considered a center. Oak was also great...very underrated...his value to the team was well beyond his stats...nobody f***ed with us when Oak was out there.
My alltime favorite, however, was Dave Deb.
Willis Reed easily
led us 2 2 NBA championships and was a 7x allstar and was MVP in 1970 led us to the championship that year and led us to the championship that year was finals MVP and had an amazing comeback in game 7 and we came away with one of the greatest finals upset in history
WILLIS REED
Reed definitly the best hands down, but my personal favorite was Oakley. I also think Kurt Thomas was very underated as a player, steady shot and rebounded and played very good defense.

how is the oak man underrated, and what do you mean despite his stats, the dude put up. to average just under 10 and 10 for an 18 year long career when he was not even an athlete, and played along side a top 5 all time center in patrick ewing, those numbers are incredible, and he shot over 50 percent from the field most of those years, for a bruising power forward shot 76 percent form the foul line, and averaged over a steal a game, if oakley didnt man the PF position with the likes of ewing, mason and smith all capable rebounders he probably would of put up charles barkely like rebounding numbers over his career. the dude is by far the best poward forward in knicks history, the only argument I might have against that is bill bradley, the dirk nowitzki of his era.
David West is our best PF in recent history.
Ohh wait Isiah drafted Mike Sweetney there. nvm
I Dont consider debusschere a PF bradley played the 4 spot, bush at the 3 monroe at the 2 and fraz at the 1, reed was the 5 then. that was the line up. so I agree with what you are saying, but DAVE DB was a SF
that wasnt isiah, that was layden, isiah's first pick was ariza
Ohh, my mistake then. Was sure Isiah was here for Sweetney already
Is not what you consider a PF is who was the PF of our team at that time.
