As an IBO, I can tell you, an independent basketball observer, that the people around the country hate the New York Knicks.

And they have been unfair to the New York Knicks.

This is something I've expressed since opening day that when you look at betting odds, when you look at the respect, not just from the betting community, but from the quote-unquote expert community, there is a hatred for the New York Knicks. I think most Nick fans know that. I've always tried to figure out the why. Is it personal? Is it that they don't like New Yorkers? Is it that they don't like Nick fans? I'm still kind of figuring it out. But I've got more examples of this just derangement syndrome that occurs against the New York Knicks.

I've got two examples.

Okay.

You want to start with Draymond Green?

Yes, please.

Ladies and gentlemen, here is Draymond Green doubling down on the Becky Hammond opinion

that the New York Knicks cannot win a championship with Jalen Brunson as their best player,

amongst other thoughts on the Kn next run to the NBA finals.

I double down on this, just like Becky Hammond said, prove me wrong.

Prove me wrong.

Double down.

Absolutely double down.

Getting out of the East has never been a

surefire to win and a championship.

What y'all talking about?

You get out of the East,

you're supposed to get out of the East.

It's the fuck.

Of course you're supposed to get out of the East.

That don't just mean you win a championship because you get out of the East. It's the F*** East. Great. It's the East. Yeah. It's the East. It's like a beat up Boston. Sorry. You should get out to East. Happy for Mike Brown, by the way. but you should get out of the east.
