When Pixar’s Soul was available to stream, I watched it with my son. We were enjoying the film until, as society so often has done over the past decades, the movie made a Knicks joke. Normally I would let such slights slide with a grumble. This time, I felt compelled to explain to my five-year old why the joke no longer applies. Kinda interrupted the flow of the movie, but the injustice could not stand.
He mostly blinked at me.
But, really: Things are different at Madison Square Garden now. This week for New York Magazine, Will Leitch wrote about the Knicks’ refreshing competency.
