Knick-Ei ("dented egg") was the nickname of a sports hall located at the corner of Feldstraße and Bahnhofstraße in the city of Halstenbek, located in Pinneberg county in the state of Schleswig-Holstein in northern Germany.
Deal's television credits include Boardwalk Empire, "The Knick", "Elementary", Person of Interest, Blue Bloods, Nurse Jackie, Unforgettable, "Royal Pains", Fringe, The Onion News Network, The Sopranos, Law & Order and Law & Order: SVU (as ADA Don Newvine).
Sitting on the bench together during a game, Thomas was caught on tape by the MSG Network in a profane exchange with fellow Knick, point guard Stephon Marbury.
They met in the playoffs 6 times from 1993-2000, fueling a rivalry epitomized by the enmity between Reggie Miller and prominent Knick fan Spike Lee.
The Knick is an upcoming drama on Cinemax directed by Steven Soderbergh and starring Clive Owen.
