Farewell, without a doubt, is one of the saddest things in this world.
When all the fans in Indianapolis shouted "Thank you, Reggie."
When Kobe Bryant said "Mamba out" at the Staples Center.
When Derrick Rose told everyone on social media, "No need to feel sorry for my what-ifs."
Even someday in the future when LeBron James announces his retirement. Believe me, someone will be so heartbroken they won't be able to write a single word for three days.
Hubie Brown experienced similar farewells a long time ago, way back in 1986.
Although it was long ago, Hubie Brown still remembers every detail vividly.
In 1985, Bernard King was at his peak, just having helped the team battle to Game Seven against the eventual champion Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals. Although they narrowly lost, Hubie Brown believed the New York Knicks were just one step away from the championship.
