Lol if the Knicks had KD, no way there would be those chants. Hell no way, the Garden is empty. Hell even if there is no KD, no way the Garden is empty. That’s just how we roll. Then again, we wouldn’t take that shat that Harden and Kyrie has been giving y’all either. That ain’t New York.

I honestly don’t know what’s wrong with the Nets. Even the Heat could get bandwagoners and people to show up late to games. You guys have to give away playoff tickets.


Knicks have worse attendance this year than the Nets. Look it up. Can't even fill the Garden with a playoff team.

Wait till Steph comes to MSG. Same thing will happen. Mark my words.

Steph gets love wherever he goes but it won’t be anywhere as embarrassing as last night was. Even Steph thought it was weird.

Ok bet. Lets see what happens when the Warriors come to MSG.

I wonder how long you will be crowing about some weak MVP chants.

What are you considering "this generation"?

KD has been to the finals 3x and won 2 FMVPs
Kawhi has been to the finals 3x and won 2 FMVPs, with different teams

So you'll exclude the 17 and 18 titles for Curry but not for Durant? You'll imply Curry is a role player because he didnt win Finals MVP but ignore that Kawhi actually was a role player for his title and finals appearances in san antonio?


I was replying to your post, you said "Curry has 3 Finals and a title as best player on his team". Nobody is doubting that Curry was absolutely the best player on his team during that season + playoff run. However, in the Finals, IGGY stepped up not Curry.

KD has TWO as the best player on his team. He stepped up.

Kawhi stepped up when it mattered most in San Antonio. Series tied 1-1 going back to Miami for two straight games. Kawhi said nah F that, let me put up 24/9/2/2/2 on 69%/54%/84% shooting splits for those 3 crucial games. Is 24/9/2/2/2 on 69/54/84 a role player? While doing this to LeBron?

So again, I ask you, is this role player territory? Just because he wasn't a household name, and played with Duncan/Parker/Ginobili, doesn't mean he wasn't the most impactful player and extremely deserving of the FMVP. He got it done on both ends of the court for a majority of the series.

So you think Iggy was better in the finals then Curry?

Durant excelled in a role that was filled by Harrison Barnes on a title winning team. Of course he won those titles

Yup thats exactly what elite role players do, they get hot for a couple games. What about his previous 7 games where he averaged 10/4/2 on 51 TS%? Is that a star player?
