In '84 Kings Knicks played the Pistons in the playoffs.  King went nuts.  Through the first 4 games he averaged 42.3 points per game.  The decisive game five was moved to Joe Lewis Arena because of some problem with the Silverdome.  Joe Lewis Arena was a hockey facility and did not have air conditioning.  It was over 110 degrees during the game.  King played 41 minutes scored 44 points with 12 rebounds to lead the Knicks to the series victory.

I think that series got him into the Hall of Fame.  It was an epic performance.
