Step 1: Pick who you think will be our best player this season.

Ex: David Lee

Step 2: Try to think of any other team whose best player is worse than that player.

Charlotte Bobcats: Gerald Wallace

DLee > Wallace?

Step 3: How many teams in the NBA have a worst best player than the Knicks?
Let's try to elevate the level of discourse in this byeetch. Please

Our best player, like it or not, is Al Harrington.

Al Harrington could start on almost any NBA team I would think. (25 at the very least? more?). (SF or PF)

It's just that riding Al Harrington as your best player will ensure that you're not a good team.

We've witnessed as much.

Game over?

I think our most talented player is Nate, might be the most flawed as well

I was making a similar point on another thread along with SupremeCommander. No, our best player isn't as good as any other team's best player. Most teams have two or three players that you'd rather have on your team than any Knick.

that really shouldn't be a big surprise. we've been a 20 or 30 win team for how many seasons running now?

Eddy Curry is probably the best center than 75% of the NBA's starting centers but is the knicks's best player only better than 30% of the rest of the NBA. But that's just me.

Boredon kills. BTW I would take Gerald Wallace over David Lee easily. If he wasn't so injury prone he would be an allstar. He is in the 5 tool player category.

So only 7 starting centers in the league are better than EC?

lol @ being BANNED by Martin since 11/07/10 (for asking if Mr. Earl had a point). Really, Martin? C'mon. This is the internet. I've seen much worse on this site. By Earl himself. Drop the hypocrisy.

Just because Eddy had a couple of good weeks when Craw happened to be feeding him the ball perfectly does not make him a top tier center.

By the same argument I could tell you that Marty Collins is a diamond in the rough who is actually a top ten PG if he could only get on the floor to prove it.

I think Gallo might be our best player - but I don't think we really 1. know if he is 2. how good he is.

In terms of knowns - Al Harrington. And as good as he is or might be, he is probably gone.

Let's get this straigth. David Lee is a good role player on this team (and maybe on some other teams as well). He is not dominate. He is not a go-to player. I cring whenever he's in position to shoot the 15 footer. He plays limited defense, and disappears during crunch time.

1) Nate
2) Al H
3) The Mayor

Our best player is Harrington as of today only because he is our most complete player. Nate is more efficient as a scorer but plays little defense and is undersized for his position. Lee is a great rebounder and solid finisher, but he has no go-to moves and plays no defense. Curry is a top-5 Center in terms of pure ability to score on the block, but he plays no defense, turns the ball over, and cannot pass. Gallo may become our best player, but he has not proved it on the court yet. Chandler is probably our second most complete player, but his offense is not as developed as Harrington's and I think that when Harrington puts his mind to it, he can get close to Chandler's level on defense. Thus, by a narrow margin, Harrington is our best player.

As a starting SF, I would say that Harrington is better than probably 45% to 50% of the starting SFs on other teams. However, I cannot think of one team in the league that I would say he is clearly better than their best player. Maybe the Bobcats.

Eddy had a monster year like 2 or 3 years ago? Then something happened to him that messed him up. It is not like he lost his skills set that many centers could only dream of. Eddy is sicko player, it is up to him and I'm saying this year he will remind a lot of folks how you should play and dominate in the post. Now if he can just pass out of the post efficiently....and add a couple or so more rebounds to his avg
