So Knicks fans have a problem with..

[Nash]

Selecting a tough 7-3 PF who is smooth as hell, can run and has both inside game and 3 point range?

Why Knicks fans, why?

[Mass Debator]

Because most people haven't heard of or followed him before the draft.

And they didn't want a project. They wanted to win now which is pretty delusional.

[FreezingTsmoove]

NY fans are absolute embarassments. worst fans in all of PRO SPORTS

booing team for a bad performance...even during a winning season, booing draft picks, delusional trade ideas, always calling for coaches job instead of developing

Stephen A Smith absolutely embarassed himself as a "analyst" for his rant after the draft where he called for Phil Jacksons job

horrible

[Mawly-G]

People are afraid of unproven Euro bigs. Darko Milicic (among many others) set that precedent.

[artificial]

For once I can't blame them. Independently of how good (or not) Porzingis turns out to be, they are still having nightmares about this guy

[Velocirap31]

It's history that scare them and rightfully so. Even the most seemingly talented euros have regularly busted.

[longtime lurker]

Still should have picked Mudiay

[ralph_i_el]

It's history that scare them and rightfully so. Even the most seemingly talented euros have regularly busted.

Real talented black American players bust every year.

[Hey Yo]

For once I can't blame them. Independently of how good (or not) Porzingis turns out to be, they are still having nightmares about this guy

Actually I think it has to do with this guy, who they drafted in the first round in 1999 and went on to never play in the NBA.

[Megabox!]

Knick fans are scum

[Da KO King]

Except the way he was used in Europe was more in line with Deandre Jordan than Dirk Nowitzki. So the inside-outside game is more wishful thinking than something we're certain of.

[Levity]

all aboard the zinger train! I'm a fan.

[MellowYellow]

Because people say he is a project, but I don't think he is that much of a project at all. His body needs to develop but other than he is as ready as any other rookie right freakin now.

[senelcoolidge]

Knick and laker fans are something else. I hope their teams stink for another 30 years. Ungrateful fan bases that think everything should be handed to them. At least the lakers won something recently, the knicks have been a sh#thole for decades it seems, having some decent teams here and there that go no where.
Stephen A. Smith is a drama queen. He'll probably end up getting fired someday.

They had his shot charts up from last season up the other day and he shoots from the outside a lot so not sure what you're talking about at all. All of Jordan's shots are in the paint.
