Let Sleeping Dick Barnetts Lie
By IRA BERKOW
NEA Sports Editor
NEW YORK-(NEA I—Dick Barnett’s eyelids just nat-
urally droop like half-drawn window shades He says
they’ve been that way ever since he began looking into
a mirror They make him appear as if he’s about to drop
into a deep slumber right there at the free-throw line
One would say that he in fact has earned that soporific
right He will be 35 years old on Oct. 2 and of National
Basketball Association players only four are older. He is
the only New York Knick to have played every regular
season and playoff game the last two seasons He has not
missed a game in three full years
His looks belie his actions, especially his jump shot,
easily one of the most accurate, most feared, most wildly
unorthodox in the game It is often shot from 25 feet out,
with several defender's fingers probing inside his eye-
lids, his body atwist, his legs kicking back like a stal-
lion’s, his left arm and wrist snapping out. He looks like j
a man who has just jumped headfirst out a window.
He broke open the first playoff game this season against
the Atlanta Hawks, and perhaps broke their hearts as
well With the Knicks down, Barnett scored 17 points in
the last quarter The Knicks won
An Atlanta writer said, When you think of the Knicks,
you can name Reed, Frazier, Bradley and DeBusschere. |
But it always slips your mind who the fifth starter is." i
Barnett is aware of this, and when he was compli-
mented by that writer on his "comeback,” he said ■
starchily. "I’ve never been away.”
The record book backs him up He is now 16th on the
all-time NBA career scoring list, ahead of Mikan. Shar-
man. Heinsohn. Hagan, to name a few. Yet he has always
been the forgotten fifth man, when he was at Syracuse,
at Los Angeles He has been in the league 10 seasons now.
six with the Knicks, and he is still annoyed at his relative
anonymity. T’ve never got my just due," he said.
He is more than just a shooter, and Atlanta coach
Richie Guerin acknowledges that Walt Frazier, cool and
smooth, and Barnett, bellybumpy and grabby, are the
toughest pair of defensive guards in the league He added
that Barnett's defensive work on Walt Hazzard was per-
haps the difference in their series.
Barnett is an odd, interesting man off the court, too
Walk into the clubhouse after a game and he may be
sitting at his locker with antennae-raised earphones,
listening far away to his tape recorder. In a hurry after
a game, he may slip into a slick suit but continue to wear
his basketball sneakers. He is also a shrewd chess player
and a wit (Once, when told there was to be a bed check,
he said, "Don't worry, when you get to my room the bed
will be there.")
Often, though, he is straight and low-keyed in an inter-
view But one of the finest insights into that was given
in Phil Berger’s book on the Knicks, “Miracle on 33rd
Street." It bears repeating.
A reporter.” recalled former Knick Bill Hosket, ।
"says to Dick, after he’d hit 32 points one night, you
know, he hit about like 14 for 17 from the floor and it was
unbelievable—and the guy says. Dick, this 32 is the most
you scored in 35 ball games, how do you feel?' and all
this
"And Dick says, 'It's sure great to win,’ and looks
down and starts untying his shoes. The news guy went j
on and asked several other questions, added Hosket, but (
Dick Barnett
He feeds on pressure
he got short, soft answers. “Just like Dick was asleep
or something.'’
"And then the press left," said Hosket, and Dick
jumped up and yelled. DAMN. I was a monster out
there tonight,' and he just starts talking about this move
and that move and how he was doooo-in’ it tonight. He’s
always talking about doooo-in it tonight.”
