But this is the Knicks winning championships is never the goal. The Knicks never go ball to walls, always missing the key ingredient to get over the top.

some people will just never get it,

it's the same with everyone in every field and in everything man does,

knicks could win a championship under dolan by just keeping on throwing **** at the wall,

and if they win within the next 10 years, was this a bad strategy? how many different teams have won a championship in the last 10 years?

i like our chances better with dolan out of the picture, maybe just getting older and taking a back seat,

First of all Pat Reilly to me was a good coach but when he had Magic Johnson , and Kareem. all he had to do was let Magic and Worthy run the show. He wasn't all that then. He learned but he had the best players. He couldn't do anything when it MJ's turn to control. The Heat's first championship the refs and Wade's phantom fouls stole it from the Maveriks. I say what Brown did with Detroit was pure great. He won with no superstars. Now thats what I call great Not what Rielly did. Got to give props to Phill Jackson even though once again he had the worlds best players at his disposal. Now what San Antonio did was fantastic. Now that a great coach. To me better that Rielly and Jackson.

I love Popovich and respect the system, but a lot of his success stems from the fact that he had Tim Duncan, arguably the best player in the world from 1999-2010. Even now, he has a top 5 point guard on his roster. Let's see how good the Spurs are when age catches up to Parker and Kawhi Leonard is the best player on the roster. No matter how you stack it, the best teams are usually the ones with the best players.
