My bad.
I am a fan but I don't view my team with rose colored glasses and pretend our franchise is above reproach because we have:
We have Willis in the tunnel.
We have Clyde.
We have Debusschere, Bradley, etc etc.
We have the Ewing Era.
We have two chips.
We HAD Cyle, We HAD, Willis, ETCETC.....
HAD!!!!
I forget, but "storied" is about as past tense as you can get, right? Or is that your point? Or not?Rockets HAD Hakeem!
Rockets HAD Kenny Smiff!
Bulls HAD MJ!
Everyone HAD Robert Horry!
Let's recap:
You show the Knicks only have two chips and don't measure up to 6 whole other teams in the entire 70 year history of the league.
You mention how "Houston has as many chips in less time"
And what, precisely, are we supposed to derive from this?
1) JR should be able to wipe his azz with the uniform, let alone wear it, because this aint no "storied" franchise!
2) Anyone who thinks differently is actually wet dreaming blue and orange relish onto themselves, while fogging up their rose colored glasses.
3) If you happen to get past #2 above, you're actually a Mooby loving Dolanite minion with no true sense of NBA rationality.
4) Only true fans honestly pee on themselves, while feeling all warm and gooshy about other, truly "storied" franchises.
Lesson learned.
We derive that "storied" has differnet meanings.
Some Hyper-Mooby homers see the knicks with an aura of greatness worthy of the city as the harbinger holding the "Mecca" of the basketball world. One thought JR was not worthy of wearing the uniformed of the "storied" franchise.
Knicks are .500 basketball team who missed the playoffs 37% of the time, and has two chips. While Detroits history has a worse winning % but 3 chips is not that great either, im not on Detroits treads debating if their orginal 6 inclusion and history is worth of the "Storied" label, we talking JR.
We have learned that "Storied" does not mean "positive History" as I thought. We think, we speak, we are corrected, we learn.
Is Jr's standards of integrity and on court consistantcy befitting to be a knick? The legends of Starks, Marbury, Ray Williams (RIP, no disrespect), Nate, Tickey, and Michael Ray all might agree he is in the club.

While I would not go as far as you I'd say the satire is not quite to the intensity I'd go for but we often deliver effective messages thru the use of humor!
BTW, funny Stuff!!!!
All I really want is some nice knick video in HD. Problem is it was not around when such moments occured!
Well, therein lies the problem: stories are told, not enhanced in HD, where you can watch every flop in high res.
Mikan is part of the Laker's "story". The Knicks were right in the middle of that "story".
Petit is part of the Hawk's "story".
Russell is part of the Celtics "story". Even punks like KG can recognize that. Somewhat. Although the great unwashed hordes of today with their love for PER% sabre metic algorythmic nanophysics will try to tell you MJ invented winning.
No HD available for any of those stories.
Like it or not, the Knicks are an "iconic" and "storied" franchise. Icons and stories are required to be old. They haven't changed the logo to the Nike jumpman yet.
HD is now.
For the love of God, try to keep in mind this league now includes Pelicans to compare ourselves to.
And I doubt the commish is stepping in and handpicking a GM because the Wizards are busy pissing on themselves for decades and leaving puke all over the proud franchise memories of Wes Unseld...
Kids these days...
