Bill Russell’s great Celtics teams were a bit before my time. So some of my first basketball memories were formed by the great Knicks teams in the late ’60s, early ’70s.

Tonight’s new 30 for 30 pays tribute that team and that era in “When The Garden Was Eden” (ESPN, 9 p.m.)

I did not have a chance to see the screener, but Ben Koo of Awful Announcing raved about the film in his review.

Here is the trailer.

A clip on Phil Jackson.

The magic of playing in The Garden.
