David Fizdale: 'I Want to Take the Knicks to the Championship'

David Fizdale's top goal while he is coach of the Knicks is to accomplish something that only Red Holzman has been able to do in the franchise's 72 seasons: win a championship.

New York's new coach was in Latvia to visit All-Star Kristap Porzinigs while he continues to rehab the torn ACL that cut his season short, and the former Grizzlies coach gave an interview to Sportacentrs.com, according to the New York Post.

In the interview, Fizdale explained why going over to Europe to meet with Porzingis for the first time since he was named coach is just another step toward helping the Knicks achieve something they have not done since 1973.
