Just wait. Some lesser overseas team will being filming "Frank Resurrection" in the next several months. Maybe in Shanghai or Shenzhen...
For some fans, the Frank dream never dies.

Is he letting the cat out of the bag that he didn't want to be here? That seems unnecessary.

He wanted his max deal before the CBA expired and he didn't care where he got it from. Anyone with a brain saw that immediately. He said as much when he would have gone to NJN/BKN. Then he held us hostage.

His legacy as a Knick was selfishness and failure.

Melo was using the New Jersey Nets as leverage. He said multiple times that he didn't want to play in Newark after the fact. Not that I blame him.

I can't speak to the stuff about LAL. That sounds really sketchy because all the reporting back then, from what I recall, was that he wanted to come to NY.

Melo could be telling the truth or offering a revisionist view of how things went down. But it seems really unnecessary for him to say NY was never in his plans, that's an outright lie.

One year ago today. This was one of the best basketball games I've ever had the pleasure watching. Man. I know LeBron is hated on here, and everyone knows I hate KD, but I was cheering for them like a lunatic during this one.

This may be the last time we see a US Gold medal team in mens hoops for awhile. Not having these 3 guys is gonna hurt

Seriously. Why not a first-round rematch with NY and DET and another matchup with ORL with CLE or swap it around to be CLE/NY and DET/ORL.

Four Western Conference matchups?! Yay... Watching the NBA once again force-feed Golden State on us has gotten old. The Lakers are super lucky that they were gifted Luka because I'd say the same thing with them. They can't

I'm only tuning in to watch the intro. I have no interest otherwise, Knicks should be playing in the first game.

Like why not have OKC vs LAL in the 2nd game and Knicks vs Cavs in game 1?

I know it’s not possible but I swear the lakers and warriors play against each other like 15 times a year. Feels like once a week that’s the TNT game. It’s so sad that LeBron and curry are still the biggest tv draw and the nba hasn’t figured out any other stars to fill these roles
