"F*ck you Lebron" - Me

I will not miss the days of Eisley, Anderson, Norris, etc.

I’d rather be a true fan amongst millions of poseurs, than a true fan amongs dozens of other true fans. Otherwise I’d be a Nets fan.

I like the way you summed up the part about “miss us sucking.” It sounds crazy when you say it out loud, but I feel the same way you do.

Before last year, when people found out I was Knicks fan, they would be like, “Damn, you’re a real fan! The Knicks suck! They got nobody! Damn!”

Now when people find out I’m a Knicks fan they’re like, “So, do you think you guys are going to get Lebron? Yep, it’s really going to be fun watching the Knicks again.”

Sigh…

Well, it’s already started, and surely championships will wash away the sting of having our identity thrown into a sea of bandwagoners.

We know who are! We were here! Hey, this blog gets archived right? Man, I really should have started posting earlier. I followed P&T faithfully for like a year and a half before I started posting and commenting.

the guy is money.

The P&T faithful have to buy “Legs” t-shirts to prove that we’ve been here during “The Duhon Years” (as I like to call the last 2 years).

is he still HWSNBN if he finally comes to NY?

I’ve been a Knicks fan for as long as I can remember being able to comprehend basketball. I’m 27 and I’ve loved the Knicks to the point of crying at most if not all of our 90’s playoff exits. I was at the Garden when Reggie hit those 2 miracle 3’s in mere seconds…I cried there too. I remember 2 for 18. I remember P.J. Brown slamming Charlie Ward, seeing our players hit the floor and thinking at that moment, “There went our best chance in the last 7 seasons with MJ on the floor, at beating the bulls.” I remember the pain of seeing us get beat by the Spurs in ‘99 and knowing in my heart that if Pat and LJ weren’t injured, we would have won that series.

I fucking LOVE the Knicks. You know what I know about being a Knicks fan? That even when we DIDNT suck it was tough being a Knicks fan, so no thanks to your entire post man. I want my team to have the best possible chance to win and LeBron can only help our situation. I don’t understand Knicks fans sometimes. We have a golden opportunity to be winners here, but people are against it because it’s not the “ideal” way to be that? Fuck that, a winner is a winner. You know what’s going to die inside your “Knicks fandom” on Thursday? Your ability to feel bad for our team. I for one welcome LeBron James and have no issues with letting go of the memory of the last 9-10 years. (Fuck Cleveland too, LBJ or no LBJ)

fuck Cleveland.

Ive been a basketball fan forever. I hate that my team sucked so bad. I hate that we had to endure the crappiest GM in the history of the game. I hate how what was the city for basketball has dried up. I hate how NYC was a freakin laughing stock… AT BASKETBALL!!! I hate how nobody every wanted to go to a bar and watch the game. I hate actually thinking that Jamal Crawford was good.

I am so over the Knicks sucking. I am so over ESPN lauging from us from CONNETICUT!!! Have you ever been to Conneticut? Me neither, and I could see it across the sound from my parents house. They can kiss my ass over there. Them and Steve Phillips.

I want LBJ to come here and everyone hate us. I want them to call Gallo Cocky. I want them to tell us that DWTDD is a nobody right before his lockdown D takes the ball from their point guard. I want MSG to have the greatest show in town. Let them watch us dance and showoff. We should show off because we are the greatest.

Do I care about Cleveland? No. I have been to Cleveland and it sucked ass. Do I care what Miami does. No, and neither do their fans. Once when I was a kid I stole my friends Heat cap and burned it because I thought it was a travesty that he was wearing it in NYC. Fuck that mess.

Fuck this mess. I want LBJ and Amar’e lighting it up.
Fuck the rest of the NBA. I care about the knicks, and want them to have the best player in the league.

And the Knicks and Lebron are using each other. For the Knicks, it’s coming at the expense of a some players you watched develop and cheered for. Lebron is abandoning home, even if he does remind you he’s from Akron. It all feels a little icky.

And sure, remember the times when it was good, even when it sucked. For instance, Lee’s 0.1 tip-in. Pandemonium in the Garden. Jordan sitting in the crowd, looking stupid, while two Knicks fans clowned him and his Bobcats. In the conversation for the best moment of the 00s for the Knicks. But you know what? As awesome as seeing a couple New Yorkers laugh in MJ’s face was, it was still a regular season game between two shitty teams.

If LBJ signs, the Knicks will be immediately transformed. It won’t feel like it belongs to you like the losing Knicks did, but if he signs, this franchise is about to go on a ride that no other team or fanbase has experienced before.
