WEST POINT, N.Y. – In the midst of their second consecutive year of training camp at West Point, the New York Knickerbockers of the National Basketball Association have continued to embrace life at the United States Military Academy.
The team, under the direction of second-year head coach Derek Fisher, arrived at West Point on Monday afternoon and conducted a team building session at the start of camp. Tuesday morning the Knicks visited the Arvin Cadet Physical Development Center where they witnessed combatives and boxing training, indoor obstacle course testing (IOCT) in Hayes Gymnasium, and aquatics and lifetime sport instruction at Crandall Pool, as well as cadet training in the Combat Water Survival Lab.
The team held two practices each day on Tuesday and Wednesday at Christl Arena, the home of the Army men's and women's basketball programs, including a Wednesday evening session that was open for Cadets to attend. An autograph and photo session with the Knicks followed the workout.
On Wednesday afternoon, Knicks President Phil Jackson, a 13-time NBA champion, and Willis Reed, one of the 50 Greatest Players in NBA History and a Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Famer spoke to the Army football team.
Thursday morning, the Knicks staged a team photo at Trophy Point prior to their only practice and later in the evening the team shared a meal with cadets in the Cadet Mess Hall inside Washington Hall.
The Knicks will wrap up training camp on Oct. 3 as they continue to prepare for the upcoming 2015-16 NBA season. This week marks the fifth time the franchise has held its training camp at West Point.
