„29 years of loyal brotherhood - what a magnificent and chaotic path we marched together. What a tragedy. You still had so many visions for the future, Herr Goaßbock.
I am devastated by your passing. You leave a huge void, and even that is an understatement. In 2011, you saved my life, Barth.
Thank you for bringing so much color, passion and fire into the years we shared. Thousands of memories, my friend. I swear we shall meet again. I love you Brother!
Pactum in Aeternum - may your spirit roam free and unbound!“ Helmuth

 FROM THE NATION: 

 

I want people to understand how it can feel to love a sport and love a city and then endure decades of disappointment over the inability of those two loves to align. The rhythm of the city comes with the beat of a basketball on the blacktop. But due to horrible ownership, this team has been discordant for decades—unable to move in concert with that ubiquitous beat. Basketball is life across the five boroughs, and having a team mired in defeat, scandal, and humiliation has long felt like a cruel fate.
I became convinced—and I was not alone—that however good the Knicks became, something would derail it: a missed layup, a disastrous shooting exhibition during a critical playoff game, an off-court scandal. These past two months, during every Knicks playoff game, that feeling returned. Even with comeback after comeback during the Finals, I never felt liberated from the assumption that the Knicks’ magic would run out. But as we all learned, the team was never about magic, luck, or mystique: It was about will; it was about having the mental strength to not only win a title but lift a city on their backs.
