The NBA Finals may be nothing more than a dream for the current Knicks, but the good old days will be remembered on Friday, when the 1973 champion Knicks will be honored at the NBA Store in midtown.
The ceremony, presented by the NBA Retired Players Association and the Volvo For Life safe driving campaign, will include a special honorary moment for Knicks Hall of Famer Dave DeBusschere, who died earlier this month.
Presentations also will be made to the widows and charitable foundations of former NBA players Malik Sealy and Bobby Phills, who died in car accidents. The event will kick off a tour of retired NBA players to promote safe driving.

Denver is all but a lock to land the 2005 NBA All-Star Game. It's likely to become official the week of June 8.
"I'm hoping in about two weeks we'll have something to announce," David Ehrlich, executive vice president for Kroenke Sports, said Friday.
Ehrlich said Kroenke Sports officials still are getting the licensing agreement with the NBA in order. He anticipates everything to be done by the week after next.

The NBA coaching carousel is spinning quickly and has several openings.
But it hasn't stopped for University of Memphis men's basketball coach John Calipari, who once guided the New Jersey Nets.
Calipari's name has emerged in newspaper reports concerning vacancies with the Los Angeles Clippers and Philadelphia 76ers.
However, Calipari said Thursday he hasn't spoken with any of the six NBA teams trying to hire a head coach. That number is expected to rise to eight with Washington and Atlanta on the verge of change.
