To anyone who hates the Yankees and hints that New Yorkers are spoiled by a franchise that makes it rain contracts of $200 million I say, "Go to hell". If you're a New York City Goon you're a Yankees or Mets fan but you're also Knicks fan.
When you're a Knicks fan, you know what it is to struggle. The Knicks are bunz (zeroes). If you even mention the names of former Knicks execs Sott Layden and Isiah Thomas a chill runs down my back and anger fills my veins.
The Knicks have been bad for most of the 2000s and every fan knows why: Constanntly trading away draft picks for high priced and degrading players, signing players to untradable contracts, not having player taller than 6'9" Kurt Thomas for years, and hiring Isiah Thomas. I feel like I can run the Knicks Front Office with the help of average New Yorkers.
The only ray of light the Knicks have had recently is the drafting of David Lee out of the University of Florida in 2005. David Lee has risen to be arguably the best American born white guy in the NBA.
He started out as a role playing rookie and has grown into a double double machine. He honed his perimeter shot and can score with both hands. He hustles and Knicks fans love that. We HATE Tim "Fugazy' Thomas
The Knicks finally seem on the right track and the horrible contracts they signed come off the books in 2010. I hope David Lee is a part of the new look Knicks in the new decade ... along with Lebron James, Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh, and Jesus Christ (he plays point guard.)
*fugazy means fake or phony
