It’s time.
It’s time to take off that John Starks jersey and stick it in the basement with the rest of your childhood toys. It’s time to grow up and stop praying for a weird kind of miracle, some lucky lottery that will bring meaningful basketball back to Madison Square Garden. It’s time to stop believing that the fact a team plays in the World’s Greatest Arena is enough to convince the world’s greatest players to sign there.
It’s time to become a Nets fan, though my guess is you won’t.
In what was one of the most disappointing days in Knicks history, it was revealed Sunday that the Nets will sign Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, the two free agents that Knicks fans have coveted all season.
