GREENBURGH, N.Y. — So you think it was tough for Kevin Knox to hear boos from fans at Barclays Center Thursday night after he was drafted by the Knicks?
That reaction was nothing compared to what Knox went through a little more than a year ago when the then 17-year-old from Tampa announced that he had picked Kentucky from a list of suitors that also included Duke and North Carolina. The vitriol from fans of jilted schools was swift and brutal according to an article in the Raleigh News and Observer, which sifted through more than 1,200 tweets under Knox’s original post that he was headed to Kentucky.
