Cool it with this nonsense, breh. The Knicks haven't even won anything yet.

Knicks do bring a lot of energy and hype to the NBA. New York is arguably the biggest market. I'll never understand why big free agents or trade destinations aren't requested there. I understand the pressure, but you're basically worshiped if you're even decent. Former players have also said they spare no expense when it comes to taking care of their players. I still think KD and Kyrie fukked up choosing the Nets over Knicks.

I agree, but at the time the energy around the Knicks and James Dolan was shytty. Kyrie and KD are energy/zen players, so they weren't going to do that

I understand breh, but I typically make basketball “prediction threads” that come true

yes...but when people talk about Showtime...they are referring to the 80s Lakers style of play. Every era if the Lakers has had celebrity fans since then. So your comparison is already off. But yeah both franchises have famous fans who love hoops and are in areas with lots if media outlets... and they have for awhile.

Yeah the showtime nickname in the nba context is named after an era of flash and spectacular dominance forever associated with the offensively prolific and exciting 1980s lakers. (Magic, James worthy, AC green, Kareem, Byron Scott, Kurt rambis, mychal Thompson, swagged out head coach Pat Riley on the sidelines etc)

Give this era of Knicks basketball appropriate and fitting nicknames like broadway bully ball or broadway ball , backstreet bullies, big apple machine, Madison Square Guardians/Madmen or Manhattan Rim Blockers etc instead

You’d think the Knicks won the championship. They just got passed the 2nd round ya still a poverty franchise in a big market until further notice.

Them new “famous fans” you think you got, are laker fans trying to kill some time and be seen.

It’s ok to compare the celebrity, entertainment & media driven aspects along with the party like atmosphere that surrounds both teams

Both exciting cities, and franchises to match it.

We aren’t talking play style. I know flashy style can be considered “showtime”

But I’m talking the off the court stuff

You can have a flashy fast paced play style in Portland and no celebrities will care or come to games

Basketball is entertainment. Knicks are as Stephen A would say “Box office”
