I consider 2002 to be the WORST year as a Knicks fan. There were so many heartbreaks! From Marcus Camby going down to Antonio McDyess going down to Scott Layden's bad luck with trades. Let's hope 2003 brings us a better year. Of course, I know we got no chance of a championship, but I do have some wishes.
1. Draft LeBron James!
To those who claim the upcoming NBA Draft will be fixed with New York ending up with HS Star James, I hope they are right! James is going to be the next Magic Johnson. He has that ability. Our future looks bright with James as a building block. However, the chances of landing this kid are slim to none. We will not end up with one of the worst records in the league. I still think we're going to win 30-33 games. Which would land us a 8-10 pick. It's going to take luck and destiny to draft James. Let's hope the basketball God's decide to build a dynasty in New York!
2. Milos Vujanic is the next Steve Nash
If we don't end up with a young star to build the future around like James, let's hope our European rookie PG Vujanic is as good as advertised! Layden and co. have been raving about this kid. They have compared his game to everyone from Nash to Allen Iverson and scouts lable him as the best PG in Europe. When was the last time we had a good PG? Layden could save his New York career if Vujanic reaches expectations.
3. Antonio McDyess Returns
Dyess showed his talents in those 3 Pre-Season games. He is one of the best PF's in the league. He's also a hardworker and a nice guy. I really hope he stays healthy. Our teams changes with a talent like Dyess.
Is it asking too much for one of my wishes to come true? Just one!
