Hello it's about that time again for another post and this one is going to be epic. I am currently and have been for about 20 years a loyal, die hard, suffering New York Knicks fan. Not since 1999 have the Knicks gone deep in the playoffs. Those were the days of Jeff Van Gundy, and Latrell Sprewell and the name that haunts every New York Knicks fan, Allan Houston. The Knicks haven't even reached the playoffs since the 1999-2000 season.
Then the steep decline began from 2000-2004 the Knicks were pathetic. That was all supposed to change in the beginning of the 2003-2004 which marks the arrival of the two men who were supposed to resurrect basketball in Madison Square Garden. The arrival of Isiah Thomas, as team president of the Knicks, and local Coney Island product Stephon Marbury. The fact that it is 2010 and the knicks haven't made the playoffs since 1999 should tell you all you need to know about that duo.
Which brings us Knicks fans to the moment we have been waiting for about 5 years now, the summer of 2010 is almost upon us. This summer will boast one of the best free agent classes in the history of the NBA which will include: Lebron James, Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh, Amare Stoudemire and Joe Johnson among others. There has been one name the Knicks brass and their fans have been obsessed with and that is Lebron James. King James has been deemed the #1 target to come to NY and save this once proud franchise. Lebron will need to be persuaded to leave his comfortable confines of his Cleveland home, for the bright lights of New York city.
The right people need to advise Lebron in his decision, Isiah Thomas is not one of those people. Isiah told WFAN in New York on Tuesday that he would tell Lebron to come to NY and would very happy if that happened. Now this probably will have no effect on Lebron's decision, but do we really want the man who coached a team called Team titanic I being at the forefront of our marketing plan. I think I speak for every Knicks fan and say this to Lebron Don't Judge us by our Past Look forward to a bright future filled with sell-outs every night in the most famous Arena in the world and the opportunity to bring the Knicks back to greatness.
