Writing the Pine

HOW DARE YOU LOL AT JOINING THE KNICKS? How dare you laugh at the prospect of joining one of the greatest franchises in sports? You are not a franchise player. You get good stats on a mediocre team with a high paced offensive system. You will never win MVP. You will never be in the discussion for MVP. You do not deserve a max contract. You play for the Toronto Raptors. Vince Carter is still the greatest player to ever put on a Raptors uniform. You are living in the shadow of a guy who admitted that he didn’t try and then forced his way out of town. Bryan Colangelo may be a great GM, but that team is going NOWHERE. Why? Because he decided to build their team around a stick skinny guy who’s more successful with his YouTube videos than his on court play. The New York Knicks are one of the greatest basketball organizations in history. When you play well at MSG, the fans will love you more than their own kids. If you leave Toronto, 2 people will be sad. You could have the chance to be LeBron’s sidekick in NY and be yearly fixtures in the championships. Instead you laughed at the notion of playing in the greatest arena in the world. The home of Willis Reed, Walt “Clyde” Frazier, Earl “the Pearl” Monroe, Bernard King, Patrick Ewing, John Starks, Red Holzman, Phil Jackson, Pat Riley, Latrell “$10 million per year won’t feed my kids” Sprewell, Stephon Marbury (LOL), Jeff “hold on to Zo’s legs for dear life” Van Gundy, LJ, Isiah Thomas (FML)…  NEED I CONTINUE??? How dare you sir. However, if this rumor turns out to be false, I apologize wholeheartedly and welcome you with open arms to NY.
