our current Knicks core are similar in age to the '01 Knicks (1st season post-Ewing) that lost in 5 games to Vince Carter's Raptors, but won 48 games in the regular season
I wasn't around in 2001. Did people on here feel like they had a 3 year run without Ewing?
Mitch is the same age as Camby around this time.
Jalen, KAT, Mikal, OG, Josh are just two years away from being as old as Houston, Sprewell, Johnson, and Rice
McBride is the only really young guy we have among our core guys.
Thibs was an assistant on the '01 Knicks. Both Brunson and Harrington are assistants for this year's team and LJ and Houston are both part of the Knicks' staff.
'01 Knicks ages:
Latrell Sprewell - 30
Allan Houston - 29
Kurt Thomas - 28
Marcus Camby - 26
Mark Jackson - 35
Glen Rice - 30
Charlie Ward - 30
Othella Harrington - 27
Larry Johnson - 31 (injured before playoffs, retired)
Rick Brunson - 28
'25 Knicks ages:
Mikal Bridges - 28
OG Anunoby - 27
Jalen Brunson - 28
Josh Hart - 29
Karl-Anthony Towns - 29
Mitchell Robinson - 26
Miles McBride - 24
Cameron Payne - 30
Delon Wright - 30
Landry Shamet - 27
Precious Achiuwa - 25
PJ Tucker - 39
So how does this relate to this thread?
I guess the current product modern Knicks very closely the '01 Knicks more than any of our rosters in the last 25 years
And because of the age of the team in 01
They nuked it and we went into basketball abyss for two decades
