Thibs is a basketball lifer and the ultimate grinder. Dedicated.
The Knicks are regularly coming back from double digit deficits with hard work and defense.
They are incredibly injured, playing shorthanded, defying odds. They are winning because the players they have left have no fear and are willing to work hard for as long as it takes and do whatever it takes.
Yet the media narrative is people want them to lose, they are a fluke, the NBA is throwing games for them.
This **** is from a movie and they want to knock down the story.
Somewhere in the middle lies the truth. Us, the fans are seeing a spiritual jihad of sorts with emotionality. A romantic quest, the coming of age story, three men who grew up together find even more success in adulthood! And fatherhood!
Jordan like? I love Brunson, but he is not Jordan. 3 40pt games in a row is amazing. Just not a sneaker and iconic logo.
there are knick fans everywhere. But outside of that nobody really gives a ****.
Movie? Like the film "300"? "this is Sparta!!" I know, whole world hates the knicks and the evil corporate media, including Hilary Clinton, the Chinese, George Soros, the jews, the blacks, the Orientals, the illegal immigrants, and the CIA all want them to lose. But really they will draw better ratings if knicks keep going?
But I can see the movie now, first a comic book, then action figures, a novel, and a Netflix series. In time, A broadway musical, "Knicks on Ice live show", and then when retired Jalen and Josh will Co-host a morning show. DDV will open a chain of "Big Ragu" restaurants.
But first we need an ending. Like the movie "Hoosiers", and we need a good one. We also need a good Villain. Hali is not that guy. He is annoying, but not a Jimmy Butler type. Joel was great, but he was just an obstacle.
The TBS dudes? They the 3 witches from "McBeth", the Shakespeare classic story?
Its all formulaic but the story continues......The never ending story!!
Maybe still in time. Lets get a chip. We need a proper ending.
