New York Knicks fans are known for their bold takes and unrealistic predictions. Our Yazen Abad tried his hand at embracing the optimism.


If this offseason is any indication of what the New York Knicks are going to have come October, the Big Apple may be in line for some fireworks in the fall—both good and bad.

The stereotype of a Knicks fan is that of someone who is far too hopeful for reality, who thinks the Knicks will sign every top free agent, and will be back in Finals contention every year.

It may get crazy.
