Ok - Just saying. Unfaithful kid boos and cries at Knicks selection of KP6 and gets rewarded with special treatment? What about the kids there holding their flag high? I say give him a Nets jersey and tell him to GTFO. Maybe this is why I am not in marketing. That said, maybe they made that kid's day, but I think it is BS. I'd rather that KP6 visited some random other school and made those kid's days.

Your an adult?

The act of compassion by an adult. The kid became a public spectacle and was likey feeding off the emotions of those around him. Think about it, your father is drunk with many knick mental midgets all in the room booing with emotions running high. The kid is reacting to it.
LIke a trump rally, mob mentality together makes for acting badly a normal activity. In this case, knicks should have taken Winslow? Or Willie Cauley Stein?

I think the kid would have faced huge humiliation from the postings, especially from guys like you.
SAS even left his vacation and proclaimed "Hoodwinked and bamboozled"!

So who ever thought of this I would applaud for helping a kid who cried not because he is "Unfaitlhful", but for being a fan!!!!!

Kid was just doing what everyone on here does on a daily basis. Prematurely verbalizing an emotional opinion without having done any kind of research or having any knowledge of the facts. Btw, I did not research the validity of this response.

Kid's got no handle, can't go left, and has a pussy jumpshot. Hope he grows up and gets drafted by Brooklyn.

Class act by K6, taking it easy, even missed a 3. Should have jumped over the kid and thrown it down two handed!

Why lighten up? Kid must have been mortified to have been become an internet laughing stock!
Might the lad be a bit emotionally immature or otherwise? Great bit of PR for whoever thought this up.

The kid was not "Unfaithful", he was in the basket of deplorable knick fans and the stench was over coming.
Good thing EwingGlass is not in marketing. Perhaps he would have suggested KP6 have rusty needle knick tattooed on his arse, Marv Albrt in drag bites his shoulder while Derrick Rose watches?

Is this systemic of a deeper issue? Do you want a hug too?

I am an adult and a father. I get coddling. This kid got a shout out from KP6 already. So, yeah. Instead of further coddling this kid who clearly comes from a upbringing that feels entitled and has tickets to the draft, go visit some at risk youths and make their day. Some of them have better things to cry about than whether the Knicks took a 7'3 player.

I was at that draft. It was one of my worst as a Knicks fan having to listen to 'fans' boo out selection. Sure I advocated for Winslow before the draft. But when KP6 put on that hat, he became my guy.

So, to further this kids dream cuz he was 'sad'...how about helping some kids with real problems instead?

I hear you man, but I don't think we are gonna get rid of this kid anytime soon. cryingknicksfan is this guy's handle and shtick now, and I'm afraid we'll see this guy at KP's Hall of Fame ceremony in 25 years!

How did you come to that BTW?

How you get your tickets to the draft?
And did you see the video, looks like there was a lot of kids at that camp. Not a special event for "Crying Kid".

He's the board Brooklyn fan/ABA aficionado. He hasn't been the same since the Boston Massacre/Trade.

Oh, and Nalod you forgot to mention we could have had Marbles force feed the kid some vaseline, too.

Something about when he stopped crying to take a selfie made me think there was a certain self entitlement built into his behavior. Just an impression. It made me think he was spoiled.

I got my tickets as a gift through a broker I use. He has Nets season tickets and was able to get me some draft tickets based on that relationship. I sent a thank you note.

I did see the camp and I did look it up to see what it was. $199 for 3 hours with KP6 among the other kids learning to play ball. Everyone gets an autographed picture. Crybaby got a 1 and 1 play and a photo op.

Say what you will about photo ops and marketing. I don't like to reward bad behavior. I wouldn't make a poster boy of this kid. I'd prefer out of sight out of mind. But that's me. You make him out to be the victim as though this were some societal defect that forced him to tears but pause long enough to take a selfie for the Internet. Much has been written about this kind of so called 'news'. Manufactured and contrived relationships that inspire interest and readership. In the overall sense, I am the dinosaur that thinks this is BS. But then again, I don't have a cat poster that says 'hang in there' either.

Maybe next year they will bring the kid in as part of a half time show to play that kiddie game on the court during halftime. KP6 will give him a high five on the way off the court. He'll get a hat that says 'biggest fan' and maybe an oversized finger that says #6 is #1. He can selfie that too.
Years later, at KP6's HOF induction, we can laugh about that kid that cried and magically became tied to KP6 forever.

Or we can just teach our kids not to boo the players. NY is a tough crowd and I've voiced my opinions on booing years (decade?) ago. I accept that fans in NY will boo if they perceive bad effort. I've come to terms with booing the effort (even though I still don't). But here, they booed the player in his first moment as a Knick. And because of that, I am bitter.

That's my rationale.
