Monday the garden was chanting the "winner" but the game was still in question and the last 10 games have not been exactly great.
NY loves a winner, wants to win, but its not always compatable.
Reggie Jax was a winner in Oakland, and was a "winner", then delivered.
Few Have come and delivered. Mark Messier, Joe Namath, Reggie, A-Rod, Ewing (elevated the franchise), and Riley (also elevated)
Few have come and turned it around or won championships in NY. We love a star story but Melo got a big burden to lift.
I give him 3 years to judge but with the need to sell tickets and ad space the teams really do pump up these guys to god like status and it usually becomes the "Beast of Burden"!
