i ask this b/c karl malone and stockton were never booed in utah. utah then reloaded relatively quickly yet both were lauded for their achievements despite the team having success soon after their retirement.
but ewing was almost run out of town at the end there. if the knicks kept winning, would people look back that fondly about him?
imho, i don't think they would b/c ny fans don't appreciate anything. that applies to all ny sports, not just the knicks.
I think you over rate the negative. A lot of NY fans don't feel that way. It's just that the negative ones are loud and repeat themselves.
If you are still following the team and reading sites like this, there is nothing, short of your own demise, that is going to throw you off this train.
