My two favorite basketball teams are the Pacers and Nuggets.  I simply cannot cheer for the Knicks.  It's just not possble, but I love THJ.

I am very salty that the Pacers passed on him.  He would have been perfect there.

All that being said, best of luck to Timmy.  I'll still be rooting for him (but not the Knicks)

As a former Pistons fans, I know I would have been excited had the Pistons picked Burke!  (You know the owner of the Pistons is a Spartan?  just sayin', they HATE us!)

A native New Yorker, a knick hater and a bulls and UM fan this hurt me. I want him to do well but then the means the Knicks do well and I would hate that. Why couldn't chicago just select him 4.picks earlier (altho I like Snell a lot too)

While I can't stand the Knicks (I'm really not fond of Melo either) I'm excited for Tim. I think he has great potential and you'll always be needed somewhere if you can shoot the lights out.

I haven't cared about the NBA since the last Pistons championship runs.   in large part this indifference was because Michigan hadn't been putting many players in the league and Jamaal Crawford (was that his name?) was only at Michigan for a year and I completely missed him.  The NBA would be better off if all players had to stay in college for 2-3 years.  I used to know who a lot of the NBA players were even from other schools because they had 3-4 years in college where you would hear their names or see them play in games.  I probably couldn't tell you one players name from 90% of the NBA teams.  

I'm looking forward to catching THJ and Trey play.  I'm also looking forward to becoming an even bigger MM and GRIII fan this year and cheering them on in the pros after that.

I was a huge Knicks fan for decades. I remember what must've been a teenage Marv Albert calling Knicks games on the radio in the early 70s. Eventually I got so disgusted that I gave up. I read a few years back about if you judge by value (money spent vs. record) the Knicks were the worst sports franchise in America.

The recent revival hasn't brought me back. I haven't trusted their management since Pat Riley left… until last night. Even if their perennial cap mismanagement limits their ceiling, they'll be fun to watch again. Timmy will light up the Garden! The morning after I'm still stunned that they did something so unstupid.
