Circa 1966 New York Knicks Game-Used Home Shorts Attributed to Willis Reed

Spending his entire career with the New York Knicks, Willis Reed was the Rookie of the Year after his first professional season. A clutch playoff performer, Reed led the Knicks to their only two NBA Championships, in 1970 and 1973. Inside the front waistband is the “MacGregor” manufacturer’s size 40 tag. Written next to this is the player number “19” in blue marker. On the front left leg is the “NY” logo in blue on orange tackle twill. The shorts show good game-use and appear to have no alterations of any kind.
