In truth, I’ve never been able to be objective about the New York Knicks. As a native New Yorker, I grew up hating the team. In fact, they are the only New York team I don’t actively root for (the Jets and Mets are unserious franchises and don’t count). Things got even weirder when they started showing up to Dallas Mavericks games in the hopes of luring Jalen Brunson. All is fair in love and war, but it still doesn’t sit right with me. I love Jalen Brunson as a person and appreciate everything he did for Mavericks, but I pray for his downfall on the basketball court.
