We don't get lottery picks when we make the playoffs. You watch the Knicks and still don't understand you don't win a Championship that way. Last time the knicks won a Championship the players ages were:
Frazier 27 yrs old
Bill Bradley 29 yrs old
D. Debusschere32 yrs old
Earl Monroe 28 yrs old
Willis Reed 32 yrs old
Jerry Lucas 32 yrs old
Phil Jackson 27 yrs old
Dean Meminger 24 yrs Old
Dick Barnett 36 yrs old
Young guys can't handle it at MSG
This was my point , to play at MSG with the media circus and rabid fans, young players won't bode well.
