With the New York Giants an embarrassment, is this the worst time ever to be a New York sports fan?
By Sam Friedman
A tale of mediocrity
This part of the section will be mostly dedicated to the New York Knicks.
The Brooklyn Nets are a below average NBA team, but there is some excitement around the team.
They will be lower-middle part of the NBA for a few years, until they over-sign an average player and handcuff themselves for five years.
Our beloved Knicks slide it as the most embarrassing franchise in New York.
The Mets and Knicks continue to out do each other for the bottom spot. The similarities are insane, down to the colors of the jerseys.
Every year, both of the fan bases believe that they have a fighting chance to make a run, and every year it is thrown as hard as possible back into their faces.
The Knicks have been awful so far this year already.
Not only do the Knicks miss an almost every draft pick, there development of players is questionable.
Frank Ntilikina is the best example.
The kid just can’t do anything on offense, he looks scared to hold the pumpkin.
Plenty of players have turned their games into the modern style of the NBA.
Blake Griffin jumps to the top of my head.
Ntilikina came to America knowing that he was going to be a guard in the NBA. How can you be drafted, in this day and not have a reliable jump shot?
Outside of Frank, the Knick’s may have the worst team in the league on paper. Their leading scorer, Tim Hardaway, would maybe be a third option on a competitive team.
Their second leading scorer, Enes Kanter, can not play in crunch time because he is a defensive liability.
The Knicks are hot garbage.
There is really not much going on in New York sports. Not much to boast or care about. Wrong move after wrong move, it seems like all these teams are playing a game with each other on who can waste talent the fastest.
At least both New York MLS teams are good. NYCFC and the New York Red Bulls are in the playoffs, but it is a whole separate struggle just to get them to the forefront of the masses attention.
Best player from each NY team to not win a championship in The Big Apple. dark. Next
If right now is not the worst time to be a New York sports fan in its rich history, I’d hate to find out what is.
