I mean, when Larry Bird says that type of complimentary thing about a Nick,
Or any player Bernard King of course from Brooklyn was great, but Jalen Brunson Clearly has emerged as the type of player who's both skilled and he's got that New York grit That the fans have fun.
No, I don't think we should put up a banner.
I don't want to go that far.
But this was a strong step in the right direction.
One name that I did omit, but I omitted him for a reason.
I think Patrick Ewing was a great Knick.
Clearly top five of all time.
The Riley Knicks, the Van Gundy Knicks, the run that they were on was amazing.
I was a St.
John's fan and then had to convert to a Patrick Ewing fan when he came and was drafted by the Knicks.
I think there was like a love...
There was a mixed relationship that the Knicks fans had with Patrick Ewing during those years.
I think post Patrick Ewing leaving, there's been a greater appreciation for just how tremendous a player he was.
So I think he, of course, is at the top of the list as well.
You know, maybe it's because Bernard King's career was cut short, that there's just a lot of affection for the time that we had seeing Bernard King be an amazing scorer, an amazing player.
And of course, he's from New York.
So that's...
Yeah, I think that's about right.
But I think if Jalen Brunson can actually deliver a championship to the Knicks, which I think they have a good shot at, they clearly, I think, are our favorites to win the East.
