Another championship would be great. Just being relevant again. Media talking about the Knicks like they were the real deal. That would be very welcome after the last 20 years.

I noticed Briggs you did not write a note in PapaBears thread congratulating him on his resurrection but in true narcissistic manner you start your own and want some love. The man flat on his back from the hospital deserves a congratulation!

We all want to NOT DIE before experiencing a championship! Nothing exceptional. Please don’t take this as not being sympathetic regarding your plight. You been open about your journey many times which is baffling at times but we all like family after 20 years of this.
I’m at risk and am super careful. Many knick fans are at risk for covid and we might not live to see a championship.
Why not end your pity party by offering an “attaboy” to Papa.
If you fall victim to this disease I’ll give you thoughts and prayers for your recovery. I don’t want anyone anymore to die from this vascular disease! This is a hideous virus and time in our lives. Not just Dolan, but covid too!
Stay healthy!

Not sure where this comes from and I’d check papabears thread a tad closer. I think this post prob represents most people here?

No arguement here.

1. Nobody wants to die.
2. Nobody comes to ultimate knicks.come and wants to NOT win a chip!!!!

But I dont just want some one off starphuch where we some how get a bunch of players on one or two year contracts, trade 7 years of picks/swaps,, got to finals, then had another 10 years of misery. I want a team. Part of it in grown players, trades, and FA’s. What LA did this past season to me was not that great.
What GSW did before Durant got there mattered and that he joined mattered because the core of the team, the heart and soul existed. I don’t begrudge AD and Lebron, or the Lakers but as a fan I would think as chips go its not as “organic”. I think Nets run this risk but NY is starved for glory and they will pick up a lot of new fans. If they don’t get Harden and the Core of Nets team stays intact (Dinwiddie, Lavert, Allan and Harris) with Durant and Kyrie and one of those true nets rise that could be a cool thing. Get Harden, its a starphuch. I hope we don’t do this.
I dig what GSW has done, MIlwaukee, Miami, and Boston.
I too was too young to appreciate the 1970 season but I suffered in 71 and 72. I saw enough change and bonded with those players as a kid. When we won in 1973 it was fantastic! Fans that rode the growth of those young knick teams in 68’ and 69’ with the celts in decline felt it was special but it was not easy.
I dig that Mav’s fans stuck with dirk and they finally won! That mattered.
All in all the journey matters.
When the Knicks lost in 1994 I still got up with the baby and then off to work. Win or lose my life was not going to change. It sucked they lost but it was fun! When I look back it was a blast to see Ewing evolve, Starks and Mase come from oblivion to relevance, Riley take over and change the team, etc.
Bernard King was here a very brief time and we really did not accomplish much but his star rose and we made a nice playoff run. It was fun.
Linsanity was fun.
Melo’s magic season was fun winning 54 games.
1999 improbable run was fun.
How is it not fun to see Frank, or Dennis, or Knox, or Mitch blossom? If not, others!
We have picks. They might be fun.
Its the journey that matters. Chips validate the supreme winning conclusion but if we only measured the seasons by chips then we miss so much.

It is no point to cry about the past, regardless of it being glorious or sad. It is gone. Water under the bridge.
And it is no point to wonder about the future. It is just a fairy tale or nightmare we have in our mind which will never be as we think.
All that matters is a current moment. The only real thing that one can enjoy.
If you cannot do it now and here you are already dead no matter how many boring days you have left.
Enjoy the moment, each moment this team evolves, the drama, the struggle, the Game.
Being in this moment every day is the ultimate immortality.

The bar has gotten so low around here,a championship seems like a pipe dream.

Sadly if you want more youngens, you might need to start a picture or video only UltimateKnicks forum on Snapchat, Instagram or TikTok

Right. I am sure there are some hard care MySpacers, AOLers, CompuServes in these here parts

That's actually a plus, imho...adds perspective. Younguns don't realize it gets better than the past twenty years of disappointment.

WE didn’t start out that way! We been at this a long time now!

Yeah. I’ve been here since I have been 7. Now I am 23.

Hey Briggs I was a college dude When the Knicks won their first and then a party animal when they won their second. It is a high you can never forget. Especially hangin with Earl the pearl and Fraizer. These duds were fun.I didn't have to hang to pick up and party with the ladies because I was a successful record producer so I had my own.Every thing was fun.Briggs I'm in my 70s and waiting for that ring and when they win it I'm going to have a replica copy of the ring because I deserve it for pain and suffering. as a matter a fact we all deserve a ring.
