“Once a Knick, always a Knick.”
We here at P&T live by this credo...to a certain extent. We celebrate the triumphs of former Knicks, just as long as they’re not playing for the Heat or Celtics or something like that. And that is why the Milwaukee Bucks’ title-clinching win over the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday night was so gratifying. It was a chance to celebrate a member of the OAKAAK fraternity on the biggest stage.
Bobby Portis didn’t have the greatest season with the Knicks in 2019-20, but once the scourge that was David FIzdale was purged from the team, Portis actually settled into his role as a pretty good backup big.
