The league is more fun when teams like the Knicks are balling. Meaningful superstar battles at Madison Square Garden is must see television. WIth NYC controlling the media market, the NBA just buzzes in a different way when that team is doing something, you know this. You don't even have to be a Knick fan to know this.
