To be fair, the Knicks as an organization DID deserve plenty of criticism and head slaps, over the decades. But they didn’t fix their problem because of Stephen A. saying something about it, over the years.

Also, I’ll defend SAS on this point: NOBODY saw this progression of Jalen Brunson coming, but maybe Big Perk.

by resting in peace, SAS means the fans of NYK will not cry about not seeing another chip for 15 years 🤣

SAS don’t speak for NYC fans. You wanted KD, Kyrie, Lebron and Giannis on this team at some point before this squad.
It’s true you don’t owe anyone an apology. You, Becky, other pundits were just wrong. And This team proved it. Go kick rocks.
