    KD just should have gone to the Knicks like he wanted to. 
    I remember him saying specifically that The Knicks aren't a team that players want to play for. "The cool thing is not the Knicks"
    But the Nets were? Even with the players they got were still the 2nd team in the city 
    We talked about the Nets way more, for better or worse.  Theres only so many times you can talk about Julius Randle...
    I doubt they sold out every game 
    We've talked about this before too, Knicks fans are delusional...  They may have been "2nd" in attendance over the Knicks but had a better shot at winning a title.

    This got me curious. Believe it or not the Bulls lead the league in attendance. Would never have guessed that

     Knicks fans are delusional...

    They are funny. They think their franchise is one of the NBA's elite franchises. 2 titles all time, last one 50 years ago,
    The elite NBA franchises start and end with the Celtics and Lakers, Honorable mentions to Bulls, Warriors, Spurs and Sixers.
    Knicks are only relevant in the media because of the city they play in. As a franchise they are pretty much a joke, especially under Dolan.
    This weekend we rock Portland

    Funny you mention where they play.  In the news here there is talk of having MSG moved...  My guess is they want the space to create another skyscraper and build the arena somewhere else.

    I guess you could even make the argument that the Sixers of the early 80's were the original super team. 
    Clippers w PG and Kawhi.
    I am so, so glad that one is not working out.

    actually, I root for them all to fail.

    Actually I guess it would be better to look at this as percentage of full arena, in which case the Mavs, Hawks, and Bucks lead the league.

    Shocked that the Pelicans are doing so bad but I guess when Zion isn't playing there isn't anything to see.

    Obviously the Nets had the better players. I'm talking about relevance. It's not delusional it's fact. Sure if they had won 2 or 3 titles they might have taken over NY. But they didn't. Not sure what you have against the Knicks. I've never seen someone hate a team that hasn't won in over 50 years

    Never ever have I stated that I hate the Knicks.  I just think the fans are delusional in thinking that they have something special year, after year after year... It's not hope, it's delusional.  I have hope for the Angels doing better than what they have done, not thinking they have a shot at winning a WS.

    The Nets with their big 3 were more relevant at first.  Then the stupid shit started piling up and became the talk of the town for a different reason.

    The Mets, like the Nets sometimes gain more traction than their cross town rivals in relevance, it happens.

    The Knicks have not been relevant since Patrick Ewing left town.

    Remember when they won 1 game in the playoffs against Atlanta and they did everything short of having a parade?

    You get excited when a huge free agent turns us down. It's not our fault the media names us as a possible destination. And no we don't think we have something special year after year. 
    And I could be wrong but were the Nets on ESPN/ABC and TNT more than the Knicks?

    EVERY free agent turns the Knicks down...  The players talk, nobody wants to come here.  They love playing here and beating the Knicks but they don't want to play for them.

    As far as having something special in a team year after year?  I listen to enough sports radio to get an ear full from the fans.

    Not every free agent otherwise all our players would only be draft picks.
