Imagine one day taking off from work to go to the Ave of the Americas, where the Knicks Championship parade is happening. Seeing Melo opo open a bottle of Champion in June.

All of those under the age of 41 rejoicing for the first Chip in their life. :noah:


Why would the parade be on ave of the Americas?

Phil Jax had a Q&A with the NY Post. Here are some excerpts from pt. 1

Q: Do you visualize winning a championship in New York?
A: No. I have not. It hasn’t been that ultimate visualization. I’m still looking to see how this team’s going to operate, with great anticipation — how we’re gonna play our guards, how we’re gonna play our big men. I’m encouraged by the dedication they’re showing pre-camp, and their thirst and hunger to get out there on the basketball court and to start playing. Derek’s [Fisher] gonna figure this out, that’s his goal as a coach. And I gotta let him do that on his own, because that’s his proving ground, and I’ve got great confidence in his ability.

Q: How and why will the triangle offense make Carmelo a better player?
A: It’ll give him opportunity to be a passer, a rebounder, and probably easier spots to score from than he’s had before. I think. I hope that’s true for a lot of the players.

Q: Is Carmelo on board with this?
A: All we talked about in our negotiation was, “I’d like not to have to feel like I have to carry the load to score every night.” He wants some help.

Q: How do you plan to try to get through to J.R. Smith to put an end to all his immature on- and off-the-court antics?
A: I don’t know if that’s possible or not. He might be one of those guys that’s a little bit like Dennis Rodman that has an outlier kind of side to him. But I’m gonna get to know him as we go along, and we’ll find a way to either make him a very useful player on our organization, or whatever.

Q: Carmelo has said that he believes this is absolutely a playoff team. Do you believe that as well?
A: Yes.

Q: Because?
A: We have enough talent to be a playoff team. Now it’s about playing together.
