I attended the last game in the old Garden.
I watched Clyde and Bill Bradley get acquainted.
I watched Bernard drop fidee on the Pistons and Mo Cheeks beat the Celtics
I was at Patricks first game on 33rd and Seventh Avenue
This speed bump ain't nothin'
I ain't goin' nowhere.

If we can live thru Ray Williams ups and downs, we can live with Marbs learning how to play from Yoda.
I swore off the emotional attachement in 1994. A part of me died in game 6 and game seven. Then the children came of age and really following multimillionaire men my junior just lost its awsome power. The " good old days" the heroes did not play for multigenerational wealth but for big money and even bigger glory! Not that all that much has changed, but its hard to really really emotionally attach to these guys. THurman Munson was surly, but he was tough, and a leader. Reggie was a star! He failed alot, set the strick out record, but he was a star. Clyde was a quiet leader, Ewing was not that likable, but a tru warrior and worked hard. My point is we have had stars that did not always win, but were solid people, very professional, and some even enjoyed themselves.
Our franchise player in Marbs is the most miserable charactor I have ever seen. Only seems to be enjoying himself if he is "starbury"! Ok, he is never going to be our leader, I can live with it. Too bad. Funny, he got his life long wish but who would have thought it comes with such misery. Too bad. Life is short, enjoy it Marbs!
