At Martin's suggestion, I just wanted to introduce myself as a new poster on this forum.

I'm a Knick fan of 40 plus years. I attended the US Military Academy from 1972-1976 and the Knicks won their last title when I was a plebe (freshman). I recall listening to the Finals on an illicit transistor radio and I was absolutely elated when they won it all in 1973. During a 30 year military career, I followed and supported the team from assignments around the country and the world.

Although I've now retired from the Army and live in "flyover country," I watch every Knicks game on LeaguePass. Even though the team is currently on an awful losing streak, just getting to watch them after decades of not being able to is quite a privilege. Hopefully, the team can turn things around and soon.

Great to be here and I look forward to conversing with you all about our favorite basketball team.

Great to see you.
It needs a strong man to stay positive with this team.
But may be a great time to join... like buying stock market at the bottom... :)

A rare insight...

Welcome! Cut your losses and just spend time rooting for the Knicks to lose! It will make your stay here so much more enjoyable right now.

It might be contrary to everything you thought you might do while conversing about your favorite team, but that's mostly the tone here in Negative World these days...

Sorry you weren't here last season. Strong-willed people with a positive outlook who aren't living the entitlement dream are a rare commodity in here these days!

Greetings- we're going through tough times, but as you know we've been through them before! Wish the players felt as privileged about playing as you do about watching!

Welcome!!!!

Your meeting the family now. Jrod is the moral fiber that aids in digestion when we eat humble pie.

You'll no doubt meet the Homers, the Haters and the Sombers.

Your a bit older than even I and built your base of fanship on the Knick Legacy as did I. Its a curse actually!

Enjoy the site and the varied opinions that poplulate it!

Welcome sir I hope your stay here in Knicks country is a pleasant one. Maybe you will bring us good fortunes against the Nets.

Welcome!
Knicksfan: Hypocrite league that fines players after the game for flopping but in the game and with obvious flopping they call the fouls.

Thanks for the responses. As to the question about the orange jerseys, I think they're awful. The game we played against Atlanta in their red away jerseys while we wore the home(?) orange jerseys caused retinal damage from which I've yet to recover.

Papabear Says

Welcome aboard its nice to hear from someone who remember the good old days like me. I was at 2 of the games. Back then I was a big time record produce with hit records and good friends with Earl the Pearl even before he came to new york. Hung with Walt Fraizer but he probably forgot who I am. But thats ok because Clyde gave me great times. This is a great forum and you will meet up with the haters. They are really funny like spoiled kids. We are now going through hard times and I don't know whats going to happen. I know one thing they need to get rid of those ugly uniforms. I call them bad luck uniforms.

This is a great site and if you have been a fan for 40 years I am sure you don't need consoling about the current knicks. Be sure to check out SlickSports under other stuff on the tool bar. You can get the news feed for any major sport and you can isolate it to a particular city if you want to read about a specific team. Lots of great fans here.
