The only NBA team that really has brand cache that travels is the Lakers...and I say that as a diehard Mavs fan.

Boston, NY Knicks, Pistons, Spurs, Heat etc., all big in their regions but the Lakers seem like the only team with universal appeal on par with the Cowboys/Packers/Steelers/Yankees/Dodgers etc where they got a ton of fans in every city. Knicks ain't really on that level and never have been.

:mjlol:i love yall NY nikkas man. The delusional shyt is unbelievable.


The Knicks have NO international presence and no major "bulletproof" brand :laff:
merch ticket sales the makeup of tv viewership & social media tell you what it is

even in the worst years always in the top earners & franchise evaluation

sometimes when you are hating you stop making sense HA

It's crazy how the Knicks have not won a ring in recent memory (last 40 something years).

Philly has championships from the 80s era with Moses Malone & Dr. J.
Boston obviously has a fukk ton of championships.
Chicago and Detroit also obviously put in work.

Knicks winning the chip, and Bron going to the Warriors would just be band-aid fixes. Things aren’t sustainable for the leauge and fan interest the way things are currently going.

That said, even though I don’t like the Knicks, it would dope to see Tinman Towns (can’t even call him that anymore) win a ring, considering everything he’s been through. And he’s finally playing like a grown ass man, I’d be all for that.

Towns post championship and in a championship parade would be content gold

Plus Brunson has a nice underdog story

Then there’s the whole nova connection

And all the celebrities would come out to the finals

And can’t forget about spike Lee. He’d probably make a movie about it

Adam Silver resigning would save the NBA, lol.

But the Knicks have been letting me down my entire life. Them bums ain't won sh*t since I was born, and I doubt that changes anytime soon. They just ain't built for that kinda run. I would love to see it, but I ain't expecting much from them other than a couple of rounds into the postseason until they get smacked again.

Ummm but some teams ARE bad for business which is exactly why the Detroit pistons can’t get a draft pick above #5

That said

It might be time for a new Sonics and Montreal/Vancouver team NBA type expansion

But a Knicks championship would stop the bleeding
They got Cade Cunningham at #1 a few seasons ago.

:why:
The reason they keep getting 5 is Silver fukked up the lottery odds to discourage teams from tanking.

Exactly.

Lakers = Dre
Knicks = Jeru the Damaja
