Context is so important. National Media is running with the narrative that Knicks fans are overjoyed because we're "1 game over .500". Uh, nah, it's because we're 4th in the East ahead of playoff teams with significantly better rosters, and 75% of the way towards the 24 game win prediction, and we're not even at the half way point of the season. They love moving the goal post.
@@chidimadu2649 remember these journalist now aren't team friendly. They are player empowerment first and only. Players shouldn't be above the franchise
@@robertrios1732 True, but I understand the players actions on the principle of do what best for you and your family, as it's a relatively short playing career. However the NBA has decided to play the piper on this and it may well lead to a very uncompetitive NBA, where competition is shared between the large market franchises. The NBA's future will resemble that of European football/ Soccer. A few teams starring in finals every season. The press and some fans are complicit in this by mocking great players like Patrick Ewing and Charles Barkley for not winning. If you don't win, it's like you are nothing. Fernando Torres said it best, " when I come back here I want to see my picture on the wall, celebrating with a trophy. Why? Because he didn't want to be forgotten.
The Knicks are the most overrated franchise in the NBA. The Knicks ain’t won a thing since the 70s. It’s been almost 50 years since they won a thing. Only reason they get attention is because where they play.
You had it right comparing it to the Lakers and Clippers. If you’re a real Laker fan, if you grew up with Magic or Kobe putting you in awe night after night, switching to the Clippers just because they got Kawhi and PG is unthinkable. If you’re a real Knicks fan, jumping over to the BKLYN hype train because they got some big name players is probably not gonna happen.
It's not gonna happen for people your age, but the next generation will be nets fans.. there's no reason for a young kid to like the Knicks unless his dad makes him
@@boobills718 I agree with that completely. All it takes is for a bunch of kids to be able to attend an exciting Nets championship parade after being locked up for COVID for so long. Lifelong memory. Lifelong fan.
Maybe but the knicks have been so bad and poorly run for so long, they dont deserve yall allegiance and loyalty. Its the loyalty that you guys show that disincentivizes them from getting better. Why try hard to put out a good product if a poor product still gets eaten up by yall
@@Howdidhenotseeme So we should be bandwagon fans? Whether Knicks fans are loyal are not, MSG will sell out every game. It's a tourist attraction in the biggest tourist destination in the country. That's what's disincentived the owner (James Dolan, as bad an owner as Adam Gase is a coach) from selling. If anything, the issue is that Dolan does too much and has to much control, and refused to let up until this season. As soon as he does and puts some trust in people who know basketball, the Knicks don't look like a joke anymore. They look like a decent, or Dare I say... Good team.

NY media is Knick-focused and that sets the tone for radio coverage. There are no Nets-only coverage over the air, yet. Brooklyn is playing a bigger game, which begins in the national media and extends internationally--they are HUGE in China and the rest of Asia, where their owner is from.

The guy has been consistently putting up numbers since New Orleans. It's just that the team around him is finally capable of giving him some kinda help
it doesnt help that the nets brought in 3 divas. like congrats if you won with a superteam. how long before kyrie retires again, hardens at the clubs, and KDs using burners.
Chris’s take is 💯. Moved here in the late 90s from the Midwest & the Knicks were lower tier, no one thought of The Knicks as winners, yet after 30 years of living here, this city is more fanatical than any other city for their team and they’ve sucked for forever and a day

Gents, it’s all about loyalty, something Chris quite clearly understand. Players come and go, teams are always there. Chris supports who is the best, an easy thing to do.
Nets moved to NYC 7yrs ago, they have no chips, no jerseys in the rafters, no HOFers, No Conference Finals, No finals appearances.... You can’t even compare them to the Cavaliers
what kid from the early seventies or later in New york did not know who Dr. J. was from watching him on channel 9 WOR Nets games. they won the last ABA championchip game in 1976.
Why folks always wanna rain on our parade whenever we’re feeling good about our Knicks team...it’s like they rather see us miserable and complaining than to be excited...who cares about the Nets...nobody will bash them if they don’t win a title because people don’t care like that
Maybe not in New York, but if the Nets' don't win a title this year they will be dragged through the mud all off-season long. Especially if they don't make the finals. But I don't see this Nets thing lasting more than a few years.
Let’s be real the city is full of good vibes for the 1st time ever I’m a Nets fan but it’s good for basketball to have 2 good LA teams and 2 good NY teams it’s better than when the Yankees are the only good team in the city
@@timothyholt15 you’re irrational......they barely above 500 & trust me they not finishing 4th man ....it’s a whole other half to the season ain been played yet
I’m from NY and I’ve been Brooklyn since they came to NY, that franchise rebuilt to try to win twice since they have been here and what has the Knicks ever done for me?....🗽W💫💫
Knicks fans are excited because there’s a culture shift in the franchise. They play defense, they play hard, and they give effort. They’ve got an all star in julius that’s finally realizing his potential. They’ve got a young potential all star in rj barrett. And a bunch of young players that contribute on a nightly basis.
Its funny cause ive always like the nets better because they said nets were for new jeresy so i ran with them and Detroit since i live in Detroit most my life
Another thing, New Yorkers, we’re known for loyalty and home grown. Most are still loyal to the Knicks-and even us Brooklynites, as TRUE basketball lovers-can only get so excited about three of the best players deciding to basically just make our franchise their personal experimentation...we’ll take the chip-but they haven’t PROVED ANYTHING TO US. That’s Brooklyn baby!
Chris, you've been watching basketball most of your life and never had a favorite team. You just rooted for the team that had the best player. LOL WOW. YOULL NEVER KNOW WHAT A TRUE FAN FEELS LIKE. That's why you don't understand why Knicks fans won't just become Nets fans because they're winning. Something you would do. Hilarious
These dudes have short memories! We ain’t buggin over Brooklyn because it’s a construct! Just like plenty of people hated GSW, this was clearly orchestrated! It’s not the system and organisation that did it, it’s the stars. With NYC, you have to understand, NO ONE IS BIGGER THAN THE CITY! We don’t care about the stars. We want the city to rock! Not a Borough! The Knicks rep the whole city!
Nets are like the clippers in LA. I’m from the Bronx and would be Happy if Nets won but if the knicks were to win a title I’d go crazy. Now I’m not a fan of neither team. Im a lakers fan. But the knicks have been fun to watch this year
You really missed a lot fool Rob if you didn't pay attention to the Nets and Dr J. I certainly did and so did all my friends . Much better basketball than boring Knicks
If so Most NATIVE NEW YORKERS will not give a damn. The Gentrified Brooklyn Nets, represent the Hippies of New York. The Knicks represent, the GRITTY!!!
@@louelastic954 No hippies from other places that moved to Manhattan and BROOKLYN after college, are not NATIVES. NATIVES ARE BORN AND RAISED IN NEW YORK. Most KNICK fans were born and raised in NYC, Most Nets fans, became Nets fans after Graduating school and moving New York. Nets represent NEW NEW YORK. The Knicks REPRESENT The old New York, BIG DIFFRENCE!!
New York is a basketball town and they ride and die for the Knicks. Brooklyn is a great team but they'll never capture the imagination of NY unless they build a dynasty.
In the NBA (not ABA, who nobody cared about even when it was around), Nets have never won a championship. They've been to a few and had a couple legendary players (Kidd, Petrovic, Irving) but Knicks won 2 championships that people such as my 66 year old father still remember seeing live . And players like Walt Frazier and Willis Reed are still talked about in NY even today.
Rob don't feel sorry about us... We are NYC... I don't blame ownership... I blame I.T and melo and Marbury... I blame players not understanding NYC! We value giving it all... Not b.s players over the Knicks
As a Nets fan New York will always be a Knicks town. With that being said the Nets will always be a much better run organization and will probably win more championships.
@Isaac M NYCTransit&vlog Not true I'm 22 The Knicks fans had kids, no one that has relatives that are NATIVE New Yorkers, will root for a GENTRIFIED BROOKLYN team!!! BROOKLYN NETS represents GENTRIFICATION. The KNICKS represent what attracted everyone to New York!!!
@Isaac M NYCTransit&vlog Are you a NATIVE NEW YORKER? The Knicks represent NEW YORK, the hustle the RUCKER Cage West 4th, that's New York. You can't be a NATIVE fan and root for all NY TEAMS. PICK A SIDE!!
@Isaac M NYCTransit&vlog SO why comment? Your a Baseball fan! Your a casual Basketball fan. You rooting for the Nets and/or The Knicks. Is like me saying i root for The Mets and the Yankees. You have to choose one unless you're a casual fan. A Fan is a Fanatic!!!! If the Nets win a tittle NATIVE New Yorkers will not care. Knicks have TRADITION in NYC, The nets have jersey and gentrification representing them.
@@BaithNa All fans aren’t equal. Some fans only watch when their team is good and other fans watch regardless. That’s the difference between the teams.
Also kd threw shade to the knicks so there’s a lot of NY fans that prolly don’t fw them also, but the knicks have a better/bigger fan base and the knicks haven’t been in playoffs contentions in a min so ofc knicks fans are lit asf rn
I don't care how much the Nets win. NY is Knicks country. It's just the way it is. But honest analysis...The Knicks have been integrated into NY society....what it means to be a New Yorker. It's arguably the most important city in the world and the Knicks early on were integrated into that culture. The Knicks go beyond basketball. The Knicks brand extends into the culture of the city. Spike and folks like him are huge reasons why the Knicks are always at the center of NY while the Nets aren't. Yeah the Nets may have great players and a great team, but they aren't part of that NY culture that's a mix of all ethnicities, cultures, genres of music, SES, etc and brings with it that unique New York energy/attitude.
NY or not, I'm kinda bummed there is another big 3 formed. The NBA was shaping up pretty nice with all these teams having solid star duos. Bron/AD, Kawhi/PG, KD/Kyrie, Joker/Jamal, Gobert/Mitchell, Bam/Butler, Tatum/Brown, Curry/Klay, Paul/Booker, Luka/Kristaps, Beal/Westbrook etc... And even more so I don't get how KD would want to win that way, people already side-eye his Warriors chips as being lopsided. They had 4 or 5 guys to 3 or 4. He didn't really compete for those in that NBA landscape, and he stacked the deck again when everyone had two stars, he wants three...
broussard isn't from anywhere so he doesn't understand what being a fan of a team is. the knicks are celebrating a 1 game over 500 record theyre just celebrating their team. this is new york city nobody cares about the nets.
This is a super simple question, and the last guy is the only one who got it right. The Nets moved to Brooklyn in 2012..... 2012!!!!! ' That's super recent. Any one from NY knows there is always beef between NY & NJ, so you can't expect that they're gunna get love, especially not before they win anything. Even young basketball fans like myself (24 years old) remember the Nets originally as a New Jersey team. That's the difference between all the other sports. the Jets, Mets, and Islanders have at least been in NY for decades. The Nets came from a rival place less than 10 years ago. I'm usually with Chris and Rob, but come on guys, this is super easy to figure out!
Brooklyn assembled all stars. New York is developing a team for the ground up. Its like Durant getting mad because warriors fans love Curry more. Well it's because they saw him grow up otherthere unlike with Durant.
Its funny Broussard tried to use the example of players preferring the biggest cities by pointing to Rome and Milan when I'm pretty sure both the Milan clubs (AC and Inter) are more historically successful and have a wider international following than the Rome clubs (Roma and Lazio)
Sometimes star power is not everything. Just like in LA, the Clippers can have 4 top 10 players in their team and the town will still belong to the Lakers. The only way you can sort of change it, is when you win championships
Chris - you are what we calll bandwagon 😂😂😂😂😉. Dr J, Magic and then Jordan. If you were sixers fan in the 80s, I cannot see someone be lakers fan in the 80s.
They shoulda came to the knicks. And instead of Hrden we get a big mean center or 2 and play tough defense while still be able to score with the same coach who can concentrate on Defense instead of how steve nash who's an offensive mind but probably doesnt have much say. Smh. We coulda won a ring forsure like that.

BRUH MY DAD HAVE CORRECT ME ALL THE TIME. I STILL CALL THEM THE NEW JERSEY NETS
New York will always be a knicks town.
Gents, it’s all about loyalty, something Chris quite clearly understand. Players come and go, teams are always there. Chris supports who is the best, an easy thing to do.
That’s called front running Chris
We are loyal fans Bro 💯
Nets moved to NYC 7yrs ago, they have no chips, no jerseys in the rafters, no HOFers, No Conference Finals, No finals appearances.... You can’t even compare them to the Cavaliers
and all that about to change in one season
Jason kidd had his Jersey retired in Brooklyn I was there what you talking about?
IT'S about TIME!
WHY would it take 20 years for a NY basketball team to become a winner.😳
what kid from the early seventies or later in New york did not know who Dr. J. was from watching him on channel 9 WOR Nets games. they won the last ABA championchip game in 1976.
Why folks always wanna rain on our parade whenever we’re feeling good about our Knicks team...it’s like they rather see us miserable and complaining than to be excited...who cares about the Nets...nobody will bash them if they don’t win a title because people don’t care like that
Maybe not in New York, but if the Nets' don't win a title this year they will be dragged through the mud all off-season long. Especially if they don't make the finals. But I don't see this Nets thing lasting more than a few years.
Let’s be real the city is full of good vibes for the 1st time ever I’m a Nets fan but it’s good for basketball to have 2 good LA teams and 2 good NY teams it’s better than when the Yankees are the only good team in the city
Knicks still suck
What borough are u from i am from Brooklyn and i really think that has lots to do with it!
@@gucciwarhol are you a Pistons fan? Hahaha
@@giantopinionsports6119 I’m a pacers fan actually
@@gucciwarhol Pacers suck!
Knicks Giants Yankees NY
Facts
Any other choices and you’re probably miserable.
Bro anyone from NY would say that. Rob said he Knicks Islanders Jets Mets. That's what someone in long Island would say.
Couldn’t of said it better myself !!!
It’s about the fact you can see the CULTURE changing and it’s producing to some form of success it’s more about the future than anything
Stop speaking for NY, people respect and love the Nets. Brooklyn Nets are a new team gaining traction
No NATIVE New Yorkers care for The nets. Only the ones that GENTRIFIED NY/BROOKLYN respect and love the nets!!!
I do... I use to love watching j kidd destroy Marbury back in the day and I'm from the bronx. I like basketball Knicks always been a soap opera.
Wouldn’t It be amazing if the Knicks play the Nets in the playoffs and beat them 😂
You drunk , y’all ain even gone win a play in game
@@vonn1295 huh they the 4th seed now the east is weak they can possibly win a playoff series
@@timothyholt15 you’re irrational......they barely above 500 & trust me they not finishing 4th man ....it’s a whole other half to the season ain been played yet
@@vonn1295 I’m not a Knicks fan bro. Lol I was just saying. The Knicks fans would go crazy
@@Messigoat1033 they would go out they mfn bodies
I’d give anything to see Milwaukee New York Utah and Denver in the final 4
I’m a New Yorker & I’m excited for both Teams especially the Nets
You have to pick one!!
I almost dropped the weights on my head at 3:35 Broussard talkin bout the Clippers old players 😂😂😂
They're partying in the streets over being 18-17? That's really sad. They must be really broken.
And Nets are basically tied for 1st and no partying tells you how loyal Knicks fans are and who runs NY.
KNICK fans are LOYAL to a FAULT, but they are LOYAL!!!
NY will always be a knicks town but the NETS will win the championship sooner or later and will gain more fans. Especially nationally!
New York is the City. The energy is nothing like any where else. When the Knicks are good the NBA is just that much better.
I’m from NY and I’ve been Brooklyn since they came to NY, that franchise rebuilt to try to win twice since they have been here and what has the Knicks ever done for me?....🗽W💫💫
Nyk =NYC
Imaging Kobe Michael bron scotty and shaq on the same team and hear rob say, "if they keep it this way, they may win it all chris !!! "
😆truth
Knicks fans are excited because there’s a culture shift in the franchise. They play defense, they play hard, and they give effort. They’ve got an all star in julius that’s finally realizing his potential. They’ve got a young potential all star in rj barrett. And a bunch of young players that contribute on a nightly basis.
Its funny cause ive always like the nets better because they said nets were for new jeresy so i ran with them and Detroit since i live in Detroit most my life
I was bartending in Brooklyn and had the World Series on the tv. I was asked to change it to a Knicks preseason game... by several people.
Another thing, New Yorkers, we’re known for loyalty and home grown. Most are still loyal to the Knicks-and even us Brooklynites, as TRUE basketball lovers-can only get so excited about three of the best players deciding to basically just make our franchise their personal experimentation...we’ll take the chip-but they haven’t PROVED ANYTHING TO US. That’s Brooklyn baby!
This is why the Media must learn what a "True" fan is, we as "True" fans we endore a lot of hardship with the teams, and the organizations we like.
Ny will always be a Knicks town because during the Jordan Era, the Knicks never played scared. They represented the whole aura of a New Yorker.
I'm from the bronx and I used to love watching j kidd slap the Knicks around Nets is were it's at always have always will
New York media be hyping
That's most definitely admirable 👍
A fan is a fan period!!
We need a montage of Rob’s bad jokes followed by his “everything’s not funny” 😂
It’s also about rooting for hardworking over achievers as opposed to a team that is doing what it is supposed to be doing....
Chris, you've been watching basketball most of your life and never had a favorite team. You just rooted for the team that had the best player. LOL WOW. YOULL NEVER KNOW WHAT A TRUE FAN FEELS LIKE. That's why you don't understand why Knicks fans won't just become Nets fans because they're winning. Something you would do. Hilarious
These dudes have short memories! We ain’t buggin over Brooklyn because it’s a construct! Just like plenty of people hated GSW, this was clearly orchestrated! It’s not the system and organisation that did it, it’s the stars. With NYC, you have to understand, NO ONE IS BIGGER THAN THE CITY! We don’t care about the stars. We want the city to rock! Not a Borough! The Knicks rep the whole city!
Nets are like the clippers in LA. I’m from the Bronx and would be Happy if Nets won but if the knicks were to win a title I’d go crazy. Now I’m not a fan of neither team. Im a lakers fan. But the knicks have been fun to watch this year
Knicks vs Nets in playoffs would be Bonkers for NYC....
When Andrew Lang shattered Patrick’s wrist that was the end of our chances. He was never the ssme
You really missed a lot fool Rob if you didn't pay attention to the Nets and Dr J. I certainly did and so did all my friends . Much better basketball than boring Knicks
We'll see how long that lasts after the Brooklyn Nets parade through NYC with championship rings on their fingers.
If so Most NATIVE NEW YORKERS will not give a damn. The Gentrified Brooklyn Nets, represent the Hippies of New York. The Knicks represent, the GRITTY!!!
@@stopbeingakeyboardkillermo4112 Yuppies from Manhattan started the gentrification of Brooklyn, if we wanna be accurate. Real New Yorkers know.
@@louelastic954 No hippies from other places that moved to Manhattan and BROOKLYN after college, are not NATIVES. NATIVES ARE BORN AND RAISED IN NEW YORK. Most KNICK fans were born and raised in NYC, Most Nets fans, became Nets fans after Graduating school and moving New York. Nets represent NEW NEW YORK. The Knicks REPRESENT The old New York, BIG DIFFRENCE!!
@@stopbeingakeyboardkillermo4112 Brooklyn has more native New Yorkers than any other borough...
New York is a basketball town and they ride and die for the Knicks. Brooklyn is a great team but they'll never capture the imagination of NY unless they build a dynasty.
Even if the Nets build a DYNASTY, New York will always be a KNICK TOWN!!!
Nobody gives a damn about the nets in NY. It's Knicks all day!
😂😂😂
Pardon me I had to laugh at that jay z voice
Why can't analysts talk more about other basketball Franchise's that never won anything or been as bad as us or worst - wow.
In the NBA (not ABA, who nobody cared about even when it was around), Nets have never won a championship. They've been to a few and had a couple legendary players (Kidd, Petrovic, Irving) but Knicks won 2 championships that people such as my 66 year old father still remember seeing live . And players like Walt Frazier and Willis Reed are still talked about in NY even today.
Rob don't feel sorry about us... We are NYC... I don't blame ownership... I blame I.T and melo and Marbury... I blame players not understanding NYC! We value giving it all... Not b.s players over the Knicks
As a Nets fan New York will always be a Knicks town. With that being said the Nets will always be a much better run organization and will probably win more championships.
And nobody in NYC will care!
@Isaac M NYCTransit&vlog Not true I'm 22 The Knicks fans had kids, no one that has relatives that are NATIVE New Yorkers, will root for a GENTRIFIED BROOKLYN team!!! BROOKLYN NETS represents GENTRIFICATION. The KNICKS represent what attracted everyone to New York!!!
@Isaac M NYCTransit&vlog Are you a NATIVE NEW YORKER? The Knicks represent NEW YORK, the hustle the RUCKER Cage West 4th, that's New York. You can't be a NATIVE fan and root for all NY TEAMS. PICK A SIDE!!
@Isaac M NYCTransit&vlog SO why comment? Your a Baseball fan! Your a casual Basketball fan. You rooting for the Nets and/or The Knicks. Is like me saying i root for The Mets and the Yankees. You have to choose one unless you're a casual fan. A Fan is a Fanatic!!!! If the Nets win a tittle NATIVE New Yorkers will not care. Knicks have TRADITION in NYC, The nets have jersey and gentrification representing them.
10:24 Chris just admitted he’s a BIAS FANBOY who LOVES LEBRON JAMES. Thanks.. makes sense now. Not a real journalist
Knicks fans are die hard basketball fans, Nets fans are causals. That’s the difference.
Thats a dumb statement
New York is the Mecca of Basketball
New Yorkers are Basketball fans
@@BaithNa All fans aren’t equal. Some fans only watch when their team is good and other fans watch regardless. That’s the difference between the teams.
True
Also kd threw shade to the knicks so there’s a lot of NY fans that prolly don’t fw them also, but the knicks have a better/bigger fan base and the knicks haven’t been in playoffs contentions in a min so ofc knicks fans are lit asf rn
I don't care how much the Nets win. NY is Knicks country. It's just the way it is.
But honest analysis...The Knicks have been integrated into NY society....what it means to be a New Yorker. It's arguably the most important city in the world and the Knicks early on were integrated into that culture. The Knicks go beyond basketball. The Knicks brand extends into the culture of the city. Spike and folks like him are huge reasons why the Knicks are always at the center of NY while the Nets aren't. Yeah the Nets may have great players and a great team, but they aren't part of that NY culture that's a mix of all ethnicities, cultures, genres of music, SES, etc and brings with it that unique New York energy/attitude.
NY or not, I'm kinda bummed there is another big 3 formed. The NBA was shaping up pretty nice with all these teams having solid star duos.
Bron/AD, Kawhi/PG, KD/Kyrie, Joker/Jamal, Gobert/Mitchell, Bam/Butler, Tatum/Brown, Curry/Klay, Paul/Booker, Luka/Kristaps, Beal/Westbrook etc...
And even more so I don't get how KD would want to win that way, people already side-eye his Warriors chips as being lopsided. They had 4 or 5 guys to 3 or 4. He didn't really compete for those in that NBA landscape, and he stacked the deck again when everyone had two stars, he wants three...
broussard isn't from anywhere so he doesn't understand what being a fan of a team is. the knicks are celebrating a 1 game over 500 record theyre just celebrating their team. this is new york city nobody cares about the nets.
kyrie called them them names. No wonder the media doesn't want to talk about them. It's payback.
This is a super simple question, and the last guy is the only one who got it right. The Nets moved to Brooklyn in 2012..... 2012!!!!! ' That's super recent. Any one from NY knows there is always beef between NY & NJ, so you can't expect that they're gunna get love, especially not before they win anything. Even young basketball fans like myself (24 years old) remember the Nets originally as a New Jersey team. That's the difference between all the other sports. the Jets, Mets, and Islanders have at least been in NY for decades. The Nets came from a rival place less than 10 years ago. I'm usually with Chris and Rob, but come on guys, this is super easy to figure out!
Brooklyn assembled all stars. New York is developing a team for the ground up. Its like Durant getting mad because warriors fans love Curry more. Well it's because they saw him grow up otherthere unlike with Durant.
Its Littttt!!!🤣🤣🤣
The Front of the Knicks jersey Says it all .Go Knicks
Knicks fans are celebrating because leon rose seems to be turning things around not because we think we're a threat
Thank you..it’s not about this year..it’s about what we can become if we keep building
Its funny Broussard tried to use the example of players preferring the biggest cities by pointing to Rome and Milan when I'm pretty sure both the Milan clubs (AC and Inter) are more historically successful and have a wider international following than the Rome clubs (Roma and Lazio)
Sometimes star power is not everything. Just like in LA, the Clippers can have 4 top 10 players in their team and the town will still belong to the Lakers. The only way you can sort of change it, is when you win championships
Chris - you are what we calll bandwagon 😂😂😂😂😉. Dr J, Magic and then Jordan. If you were sixers fan in the 80s, I cannot see someone be lakers fan in the 80s.
It’s the EFFORT!!!!! It’s the Overachieving!!!
They shoulda came to the knicks. And instead of Hrden we get a big mean center or 2 and play tough defense while still be able to score with the same coach who can concentrate on Defense instead of how steve nash who's an offensive mind but probably doesnt have much say. Smh. We coulda won a ring forsure like that.
