Oh wait, this is blog is called The J. Pitts Show, right? Not the The J. Pitts Hip Hop Show, and since I am a big fan of the Knickerbockers (the only NY sports team I still rep), every so often a post on this blog will be dedicated to the team I hate to love.
I have been a fan since the Bulls/Knicks rivalry. The days when Pat Riley would tell his boys to run down the court and beat on MJ and friends until they couldn’t take it anymore, only to be out-finessed in the end by number 23. Good lord I hate Michael Jordan. I even cheered for Charles Barkley one year when they made the finals, only to watch that fool John Paxon pull up for the three and make it. Then once Jordan retired, the Knicks get to the finals only to see Starks get fouled in game 6:
Fuck what any of yall say, HE WAS FOULED! He touched him after the shot! Game seven of that series was even more of a nightmare. The next year, Reggie Miller fouled half the damn team when he scored 8 points in 8.9 seconds in game 1 of the conference finals and went onto win. Oh, and I’m not going to post footage of that heartbreaking debacle.
Ever since then, there have been a few highs, like when Chris Childs hit Kobe in his NECK!
The still of him getting his was Neg. Props’ wallpaper on his computer for YEARS!
And of course, they got to the finals in that one strike shortened year but ultimately lost to the San Antonio Spurs.
Nowadays, there isn’t much to look forward to. I swear, I think Isiah Thomas was an insurgent employed by the Pacers in an elaborate plan to make a mockery of the Knicks. Jesus they sucked last season. And now, with a team salary that is over the cap, and nearly not enough talent to be respectable, it’s safe to say that the Knicks probably won’t be doing much this year. I have faith in new coach Mike D’Antoni to eventually turn things around, and if Knicks fans are anything, we are patient.
Maybe the best decision D’Antoni made thus far is to bench that fool Stephon Marbury. Stephon Marbury is the plague, stay away from him like small pox and typhoid fever. He will NEVER start on a team that will do anything serious. He is a ball hog, turnover prone, and a whiner who can’t get along with people who play him millions of dollars to do what he loves! Anyways, I have disliked him ever since he left Garnett in Minnesota. I cannot wait until he gets traded, although that won’t be for awhile.
