Bleacher Report’s Adam Friedgood on Gallatin:
“Gallatin … was the first draft choice the Knicks’ franchise ever made.”
“Even though he was an extremely undersized center at only 6’6”, Gallatin was still one of the best rebounders in the league. During the 1953-54 season, he led the entire league in rebounding. He still has the Knicks record for most rebounds in a single game with 33.”
“Gallatin was best known for his toughness and ability to never miss a game. During his nine years as a Knick, Gallatin played in 610 consecutive games and 57 post-season games.”
But who tops Gallatin as the tenth-greatest Knick, thereby kicking off the Top 10 list? Find out below
