    The Nets are only bigger nationally bc of the big 3 there. Swap enire rosters ( or Jerseys ) and now the Knicks are completely Big time again and the now NY roster is only worth “what if” sepculation as the Nets…. Not a Knicks/Nets hater or fan… just callin it like I see it

    How does Smith speak for a whole city and state?

      Because when the nets hosted the Knicks the crowd chanted for the Knicks.

    If Dr J starred in The Fish that saved Pittsburgh then the Nets big Three saves the Big Apple from spoilage

    theres nothing in NY like when the knicks are winning. there has been nothing in NY for the past 2 decades

    So if kd and kyrie and harden played for the knicks and did not win the chip nobody would care? Lol Steven A, stay off the weeeeed! Not to mention Dolan would try and take all the credit

    Max is right tho….and I wanna see the Knicks succeed, but they gotta string some seasons together to earn my trust back.

    Besides friends and family of the players/coaches/staff nobody cares about the Nets.

    For 20+yrs the Knicks have shown they are Not willing to slowburn their way to success. They always eventually look to skip steps, look for the quickfix, & screw it up somehow. They gotta do it for more than 1season to get me to buy in that they actually have some real, solid, forward thinking leadership in place.

    Embarrassing that SAS calls himself an ESPN analyst and is saying the Knicks have a better culture than the Nets when it is well known around the league that Brooklyn has by far the best culture and best player program in the organization.

    People who say the nets are like the clippers cause they are the less respectable franchise are diluted… the lakers have 17 trophies too their name and the latest was last season… the knicks haven’t had a chip since 1973 and they only got 2 of them. New York fans are the only ones who care about them because y’all have the Dallas cowboy mentality: “WE ARE A HISTORIC TEAM, YOU CANT TALK ABOUT BASKETBALL WITHOUT US” uhhh yes we can cause yall haven’t been up too much

    After the NETS win at least 2 chips in the next 3 years let’s see what Steven A is still saying about culture this and culture that…blah! blah! blah! 🤣😅

    Stephen A loves the knicks unconditionally but rails on cowboy fans the irony😂

    Even if the nets win the chip new york city still will not care. This is a knicks town im sorry

    Wealthy people still in New York are delusional and seem to think that they’re living in the 1920’s or 50’s version of New York when the city was at it’s peak. New York is a TRASH CITY NOW HAHA! People and businesses are moving out of NY and LA. Who cares what Knicks fans think, they’re the stupidest New Yorkers of them all.

    But then Randle wouldn’t have transformed into a star , RJ wouldn’t had grown as much either.

    • Nic Stone

      April 26, 2021 at 5:20 pm

      they would have traded them for harden

    • Body Soul Spirit

      April 26, 2021 at 5:27 pm

      @Nic Stone true

    Knicks are the Cowboys of the NBA…they win a few games and delusional fans start believing they’re the best team in the league smh

    Max and Stephen A. just look like they’re having a good time. Good to see them laughing

    They wouldn’t play for Thibs tho. Coaching still matters

    Stephen A writing knicks checks that he cant cash

  24. GenieKid

    April 26, 2021 at 7:26 pm

    We don’t want KD or “KI” anymore, we have Randle..

    i think they will regret it cuz nets have ZERO DEPTH. knicks have some of the more underrated depth in the nba. they are a STAR away from being a DARK HORSE CONTENDER in the east
