Photographer George Kalinsky recently was honored by the Basketball Hall of Fame for his outstanding career. But the 85-year-old says he is not done just yet.
Kalinsky's fame as a photographer has come from his skill at capturing the greats in sport and summing up their essence in a single frame. And although his career has spanned decades, Kalinsky is best known for his photographs from the 1960s and 1970s, a time when 24-hour sports media and social media did not exist.
Despite his talent, Kalinsky doesn’t brag. But when asked if his photos have preserved the legacy of those title teams, he responded, “The photos are what keeps the legacy alive and that’s the reality.” As for the 1969-70 Knicks, Kalinsky’s photos include the iconic shot of center Willis Reed emerging onto the court for Game 7 of the 1970 championship series against the Los Angeles Lakers despite a torn thigh muscle.
