There, Its Just a Game; Here, an Experience
There are many ways to gauge the differences between the Knicks and the San Antonio Spurs, and all extend beyond comparisons of Chris Dudleys rim-clanking free throws to Tim Duncans sweet bank shots. The San Antonio market is one-tenth the size of the New York market. The Alamodome seats twice as many people as Madison Square Garden. The average regular-season ticket at the Alamodome costs $38.01. A Knick ticket averages $79.34. The cheapest seat for the National Basketball Association finals in the Alamodome costs $15, one-third the least expensive one in the Garden. A courtside ticket for the finals in San Antonio costs $500 (up from $325 during the regular season). In New York, the similar seat requires $2,700, double what the wealthy paid before the playoffs began. There is no NBA Store in San Antonio. One of the most telling differences is in the teams competing approaches to courtside stardom. The Spurs dont need a plan; the Knicks built on the one pioneered by the Los Angeles Lakers to create Hollywood on folding chairs. (Hey, Adam Sandler is flying in from Los Angeles for Game 3 tonight, four days before his latest comedy, Big Daddy, opens!) Tom James, the Spurs director of media services, said the team had no policy for doling out coveted floor seats to the local glitterati. George Strait is a season ticket-holder, James said, referring to the country singer. Tommy Lee Jones makes it to a game or two. At the Garden, stars inhabit the air. Theyre part of the furniture, endemic to the experience of being there. A few, like Spike Lee, Woody Allen, Tom Brokaw, Ed Bradley and John F. Kennedy Jr., pay for their season tickets. But many more attend free (sometimes they ask, sometimes theyre asked, to spice up the joint when, say, the Clippers come to town) because they are deemed friends of the Knicks who will tape a promotional video or offer aid to the Knicks Kids Foundation. The fans in the arena enjoy seeing them tremendously, said Chris Weiller, the Knicks vice president of public relations, who is one of the teams two gatekeepers of the courtside. Theyll go home and talk about the game and who they saw at courtside. Weiller keeps in regular touch with the stars (and their handlers) as he juggles too many celebs for too few seats. Of the dozen seats in the Gardens quiver of comps for the finals, only six supreme ones exist at center court. If Billy Crystal comes to two games, he wont sit in the same place twice, Weiller said. One night he may sit at center court, another under the basket. Timothy Hutton says, Ill sit anywhere you want me to. There are times when celebrities not deemed family are asked to pay for the seats, but the team much prefers familiar faces like Sean (Puffy) Combs, Matt Dillon, Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger, and Matthew Modine. Among the celebrities expected courtside tonight are: Modine, Chris Rock, Fran Drescher, Lynn Whitfield, Jenna Elfman and Starr Jones. Others expected during the three games at the Garden are Crystal, Ben Stiller, Ed Norton (the actor, not the subterranean sanitation professional), James Caan, Lauryn Hill, Robert Klein and Peter Boyle. Although the Garden will not collect gate receipts from the assembled stars, the arena generates about $3.5 million from gate receipts, concessions and merchandise per game, according to the New York City Comptrollers Office. The league takes 45 percent of the estimated $3 million from the gate to finance playoff expenses and the winners and losers shares. Each game against the Spurs, the report said, will produce about $2.4 million in spending for merchandise outside the arena, food, lodging and parking. The Knicks advance to the finals has created a boomlet for licensed T-shirts and caps that commemorate their Eastern Conference championship over the Indiana Pacers, as well as for authentic and replica jerseys. Pro Player said it sold all of its conference championship T-shirts -- including those seen in the Knicks locker room -- mostly by last Monday. The Knicks would sell five times the number of N.B.A. championships T-shirts that San Antonio would, said Peter Seligman, a company spokesman. If the Knicks win, we can sell $3 million to $6 million in shirts at retail, he added. Logo Athletics Eastern and Western Conference T-shirts have sold far better in San Antonio than in New York. I dont think New York has bought into just being conference champions, said Tom Shine, the Logo Athletic president. They want to be champions. But San Antonio hasnt been here before. Champion Products sold out of its Knicks replica jerseys (which sell for one-third of the authentic ones). Were making them as fast as we can, said Karen Smith, Champions director of licensed and collegiate marketing. Latrell Sprewells replicas are the most popular. At Gerry Cosbys, the sporting goods store at the Garden, Knicks-related sales started with a rush on Monday, but slowed by 10 percent to 20 percent after the Game 1 loss to the Spurs. Sprewell is the star of the stores $120 authentic jersey sales, followed by Allan Houston, said Jim Root, a store vice president. At the NBA Store, on Fifth Avenue, Knicks-related merchandise sales are off the chart, said Gary Jockers, the manager. Since last Monday, it has sold 1,500 to 2,000 T-shirts and caps, and has sold out three times. The stores sales did not sputter when the Knicks lost. The store does not favor the Knicks; it has displayed goods for all the playoff teams. Some people, Jockers said, have come in and quietly asked, Can I have a San Antonio shirt? .

RIGHT TO PICK EWING GOES TO THE KNICKS IN N.B.A.S LOTTERY
The Knicks won the grand prize in pro basketballs draft lottery yesterday and now have the rights to the nations most renowned college basketball player - Patrick Ewing. In a dramatic ceremony at the Starlight Roof of the Waldorf Astoria, the National Basketball Association conducted its first lottery to determine the first seven choices in the June 18 college draft. The participants were the seven teams that did not make the playoffs.

GOD IS A KNICK FAN
UNTIL yesterday, Dave DeBusschere had never won anything in a drawing. At least nothing big, he would recall. I think I got a set of club head covers at a golf tournament once, thats all. And when he arrived at the Starlight Roof of the Waldorf Astoria he was presented with a Knick button that had a blue-dyed rabbits foot attached to it, but he shrugged and handed it to an onlooker. At the National Basketball Association Draft Lottery that would determine Patrick Ewings future, if not his own future, Dave DeBusschere preferred to depend on the power of a small prayer he had said at the 9:15 mass yesterday at St. Josephs Church, not far from his Garden City, L.I. home. I said some prayers, like I always do, the Knicks head of basketball operations was saying now about five hours later, and then I thought, Ill be a little selfish and ask for Patrick Ewing in the lottery.

Life Without Football Means a Life With Baseball
On those late-summer nights in the minor leagues when the crowd was paltry and the road to New York looked long, Drew Henson would call the one baseball player who he knew understood what he was going through and what he was giving up. That player was Kenny Kelly, who these days walks shirtless through the Mets spring training clubhouse, a University of Miami logo tattooed on one arm. The logo includes a full-color picture of Sebastian the Ibis, the Hurricanes mascot. David Weathers, the veteran relief pitcher, asks Kelly about the current landscape of college football. Esix Snead, a minor leaguer like Kelly, asks him about his favorite pass pattern.. Kenny Kelly, former Miami University quarterback, is now auditioning for spot on New York Mets roster and will likely be assigned to AAA minor league team; like former New York Yankees prospect Drew Henson, who chose to pursue football this season, he has been torn between two sports; photos (M)

KNICKS 5TH
A year ago, the telephones were ringing at Madison Square Garden and fans were flocking to the box office to celebrate the Knicks winning the first National Basketball Association lottery, an event that would bring them Patrick Ewing. Lady Luck bypassed the Knicks yesterday and stopped in Philadelphia, as the 76ers won the first pick in the lottery that decided the first eight picks in the N.B.A. draft in June. The Knicks wound up with the fifth choice, behind the Boston Celtics, the Golden State Warriors and the Indiana Pacers, in that order. Even a live spotted rabbit named Lucky Pierre, which the Knicks brought to the drawing in the Empire Ballroom of the Grand Hyatt Hotel, did not help.
