When Isiah first got here he was getting advice from everyone on what to do. Fans were tired of the old, slow and unathletic team. He took that to mean that he could be successful just by being younger and more athletic. What he didn't factor in, was what is really important when bringing players to NY. With the overhyped media and the relentless fans, you must find players with a thick skin, focus, mental toughness and the willingness to do anything for the good of the team(and therefore NY). Isiah ignored all these trivial things and focused upon the sizzle.
Enter the 1990's knicks team
JAMES DOLAN on Isiah : He's a good friend of mine and of the organization and I will continue to solicit his views. He will always have strong ties to me and the team.
