i dont know what the F it was, though i lean to voodoo being the culprit.
i dont hate anybody during that time, i thank isiah for being here i thank steph for being here. this will sound crazy but i think the knicks learned alot about building a championship team this past decade, at least i did.
it starts with hiring a legit franchise player. we thought houston was, we thought mcdyess, we thought steph, we thought curry.
those are some damn good players who literally broke under the pressure. poor curry damn near ate himself to death. a franchise player can not only handle the pressure, he loves it! makes you love it! wins with it!
i credit old man walsh for doing what we havent been able to do since 1985; by hiring two legit franchise players.

I agree. Not too many players can handle the pressures of New York, the hookers, the night life, the drinking. New York never sleeps. So far Amear and Felton can handle the pressure.
