Knicks aren't even the worst in this market. The Nets and Jets are definitely worse and I say that as a Jets fan.

We made the playoffs 3 years in a row then missed it for 3 years in a row.

If a .500 record where we're a playoff team in the last 6 years is the bar for the "worst" franchise in sports, what are the hundred of teams that can't even sniff that?

I love it.

It's funny that both these "New Yorkers" hate the Knicks. Though Max lived in LA for some time in his life, it's still funny. SAS is mad we didn't draft Mudiay or Justise Winslow and didn't hire Thibs (the Isola legion of trolls). Max - well idk. I only trust his opinion on boxing - nothing else

Thank you for the clickbait but do you have cheap jerseys with very nice quality?

Yes I knew SAS was a clown but I'm quickly losing respect for Kellerman's basketball knowledge.

Can't agree with that. They're certainly top 5 though.

Dolan has destroyed the franchise and turned it into a laughing stock. One of the worst franchise in sports, that's not much of a debate.

its knicks or jets. but it feels like knicks lose on purpose. its like a secret millionaires club that has a bet on who can make us the worst while GM'ing/coaching our team.
There's something about an underdog that really inspires the unexceptional.

First Take is a screaming match, no real substance to their setup. Stephen A. Smith is a character just as much as Max Kellerman is.

As for this question, does the Cleveland Browns still exist? No playoff appearances since 1994. Got their football team taken away in 1995, given back in 1999, and played like 1000000 QBs and counting. Ran like an asylum. Knicks were toxic in mid-to-late 2000s, but the Browns are like the 7th circle of Hell.

Dolan is like Trump, was gifted a money making asset. He can afford to be awful, thankfully. But if you broke it down dollar to dollar and evaluated his efficiency in spending, he would probably be in charge of the worst operation in sports. Its really hard to find a more dysfunctional, unprofessional, inept organization and owner in sports, while still retaining a highly valued franchise.
