Knicks still...

[Wamu]

Ahh this is a basketball forum not politics!

You mentioned the upcoming elections you idiot.

I know who you are votin for Tuesday

Do you even pay attention to the bullshit you post?

 

[logic]

It’s a ring driven league

Every league is a championship driven league And in every league there are superstars whose teams don’t get them. This isn’t golf or tennis where it is just one person deciding the outcome

"He needs a ring to be proven"

My goodness you ain't right. So NBAers are only superstars if they have a ring? Interesting. Gotta share this info with others. @Black Adam @tlance @trojanfan12

I have just been informed these players aren't superstars. pasta's "logic" is weird.

-Tatum
-Luka
-Ja
-Trea
-Embiid

lol

I don't even pay attention to pasta anymore. The fact that he thinks the Knicks being poorly run has nothing to do with superstars not signing with them is an impenetrable wall of delusion and stupid.

Lol, I pay very good attention to how all you dudes post , and when it’s given back to you , y’all , esp YOU, have absolutely no clue on how to react to it. It’s f n hysterical!

Yes it is, and luck plays a big part of it.


These players you mention, great players but something always seems to pop up that wipes out all the good that is done.

 

[Pastafazul]

Let’s not even compare those dudes to the pampered players of today

Seriously, you think the game is played today like it was years ago?

You probably think Tom Brady would still be playing if this was the 70’s 80’s even 90’s

Go away, don’t stink up my thread

Don't worry, the stench of your stupidity and delusion blocks everything else out.

But even mentioning these players came from your argument that players didn’t want to go to new york because of the fans and media. Boston and Philly fans are just as bad as New York, yet they’ve gotten and retained players and are both currently contenders. Yet over a longer span of time New York has not been able to do that. That is on Dolan not brining in good people. And even if there is a shortage of qualified people, a claim of your that I don’t agree with, New York is such a draw and the pockets so deep they should be able to get qualified personnel. Yet Dolan has repeated shown an inability to do so.

He's goofball. Hell the other day when we were talking about Dolan & Knicks he brought up Steinbrenner.

Don't know how to react? You think Dolan isn't the reason superstars won't play for the Knicks right now.

So if Dolan's not the reason superstars won't go to N.Y. then what's the reason?

Is MSG is a bad neighborhood?

 

[tlance]

You can’t get results immediately
In the NBA?

When shaq and Kobe wanted immediate results, proving my point that it’s the players that have control…

They made it abundantly clear to all they wanted Jackson, and bammm. Ring

So you blame Dolan when shit like this goes on?

Phil Jackson was a key piece to the puzzle.

Not even close to the reason they won.

Jerry West had the foresight to trade for Kobe when nobody else saw his greatness and he had the space to sign Shaq in FA.

If they don’t have the superstars Phil Jackson is as irrelevant as he was in NY.

Even then, bad analogy because the rules were vastly different and a lot less complicated back then.

I'm out to breakfast with my baby trying to eat an omelette here. The no laughs sign is up...

But I agree. The Pasta Bowl's "logic" escapes me...

Wait, how much does it cost to OWN a thread on tHoop...?

I'll start looking for couch change when I get home...

Jackson was THE final piece to the puzzle!

 

[tlance]

Jackson was THE final piece to the puzzle!

He was important.

Yet, without Shaq and Kobe they win nothing.

And you know this.

And you know this.

Shaq and Kobe were already together.. they did not win!

They got with ownership and made him go after Jackson, and won that year!

lol

Sorry, there is no place like NY! And I’m not sayin it cause I live here ..

I did not make up, ‘if you make it here you make it anywhere.

The concrete jungle is a special place, some can’t handle it. That’s all

Coming into this thread occasionally is fun, but it reminds me of the old saying:
Never wrestle with a pig because you'll both get dirty and the pig likes it

Dude. Stop it.

My whole point has always been that you need superstars to win in the NBA.

Just because you have superstars doesn’t mean you always win.

You need a supporting cast, competent coaching and a lot of other things too.

Knicks can’t get close to finding the right ingredients because they are incompetently run.

DESPITE the tremendous advantage gained from playing in the NYC market.
