Knicks: Former NBA All-Star center deems New York an ‘average’ team

The New York Knicks are off to a great 37-20 start, but they have fallen short of knocking off the top teams in the league. Following blowout losses to the Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics, many don’t believe the Knicks are legitimate contenders as they are 0-7 against the top three teams in the league.
