yes zo has been a ny rival for many years but its because he was always the mirror image of patrick ewing in terms of intensity and playing hard. we all know how close friends those two are, and when you watch Zo play its like looking into the past. the young players today don't play as hard as he and other players from his era did really. its very refreshing to watch him play, and you could say that new york players are based on one thing: hard work. and when you consider zo's story and his comeback and everything i'd agree he is one player left in the nba who would best personify a knick.

someone also mentioned Camby and kurt thomas, I'd agree with those too

i like this NYK heart & guts team:

C - Emeka Okafor / Alonzo Mourning / Brad Miller
PF - David Lee / Kenyon Martin
SF - Josh Howard / Tayshaun Prince / Matt Harpring
SG - Dwayne Wade / Manu Ginobili
PG - Chris Paul / Monta Ellis

Coach - Riles

It figures Rashard Lewis isn't on anyone's list. We should consider this question when mulling over the trade rumors. It's just too painful to compromise on players who don't play with guts and/or smarts all the time.

damn, forgot to include Chris Duhon & Devin Harris
