major Posted June 15, 2012 Author Posted June 15, 2012 As a Knicks fan I don't see an immediate threat from the Nets unless this Amare/Melo combo goes bust. If it doesn't result in a championship within the next 2 years and the Russian billionare owner of the Nets starts buying big name talent (which I think he will), I then see the threat. Dolan sucks as an owner of the Knicks. If you think Ralph Wilson is bad I dare you to do some research on Dolan. I'm afraid the Russian will be a better long term owner than Dolan.

Don't worry, if things get really bad Dolan can bring Isiah Thomas back.
major Posted June 15, 2012 Author Posted June 15, 2012 If they brought Isaiah back, I would take a look at the Nets. I'm a huge Knicks fan; however, Isaiah's return would test my loyalty. I'm loving the stories of Pippen and Jordan refusing to have him on the Dream Team. I have Pippen and Jordan for what they did to my Knicks in the 90's; however, this is one instance where I'm proud of them.

Didn't Chuck Daly coach the team?.........I had heard at one time that it was Magic and Jordan.

NBA channel is runnig a "Dream Team" special, celebrating the 20th anniversary of that team. You should catch it if you get a chance...they are rerunnig it endlessly (tonight in fact!) This is one of those stories that kind of morphed into many different things over the years: http://msn.foxsports.com/olympics/basketball/story/NBA-documentary-tells-true-story-of-1992-dream-team-and-Isiah-Thomas-exclusion For me, the Dream Team was a cool thing on paper, but it wasn't really all that fun to watch. It was a great exercise in marketingm but not so entertaining. The documentary is better than those games were.

You knew they were going to just kill everybody. The surprising thing to me is how much the rest of the world has caught up in the last 20 years. That was an interesting article, though. Stockton vs. Isiah in 1992 was a very close call!

The documentary is really good, however. Just an interesting look into all these rivals coming together, and the battle of egos that went on...Jordan won! Since this started out as a Knicks/Nets/New York thread, interesting to hear Phil Jackson's take on the Knicks: http://espn.go.com/new-york/nba/story/_/id/8058726/phil-jackson-says-coach-clumsy-new-york-knicks-team
