My girl bought me the Knicks Dynasty DVD for my B-day on the 24th. Its got the greatest 10 knicks games, from the championship days of the 70s to the Ewing teams of the 90's (No marbury games? lol)

I was watching game 2 of the 93 playoffs vs the bulls, the game that saw the knicks lose a double digit lead in the 4th, before my man John Starks DUNKED on three bulls with two minutes left and sealed the game.

But man if you look at our front court back then we were just so big and tough. My girl even said, "the players looked so mean back then". Oakley, Ewing, Mason, and even Smith were just so tough and physical, constantly banging, hard fouls followed by harder stares, Starks and Rivers hustling down long rebounds and talking trash.

I love the Knicks, and I love this team, our youth, our coach, and even good ol marbs. But we just dont got it like they we used to. I want to see a return of that gritty, flagrant fouling, jab in the ribs while boxing out, what the f..k are YOU looking at Knicks.

This team has a lot of talent, but we are lacking that one warrior that can motivate this team. Is he out there? Do you still need to be like that to succeed?

We need guys who are mentally mean with a killer spirit. Guys who know how to win. The body will follow the mind and find a way.

Thug ball in this era would not work.

And those 2 minute scorless streaks we had would kill us.

The tough thing was cool, but it had its draw backs.

I think was most folks miss more than anything is the attitude and the physical presence. What I don't miss was Masons and Starks ill timed tech's when the pressure was really on. They were tough guys but cracked under the weight when it mattered most.

But we have the DVD's. At least we have that.

The Knicks had a bunch of thugs back then. That was NEW YORK basketball and it was a team that had pride. Man, those were the days. Hopefully the team will be like that someday in the future. Plays like Curry need to stop being so soft and they need to start winning and getting more "mean" because the gritty, NY attitude is not there. Now it's based on athleticism basically. There NEEDS to be that toughness for the Knicks to be able to contend and thats the bottom line.

Its the keen eyed and astute fan like you that digs deep into the obscure to extract the marrow of truth that we all can't see for ourselves!
