Have New Yorkers turned their backs on the Knicks?

      The New York Knicks have been a storied franchise ever since its creation in 1946 and continues to resonate throughout basketball.  Although they have not been very prominent in recent years fans still cling to the hopes that they can bring back the glory days.With the acquisition of Phil Jackson last year to a five year contract and the resigning of Carmelo Anthony many thought that this would be the year to turn it around. The only thing the Knicks did accomplish however was a 13-68 record and worst in franchise history. I decided to find out for myself what New Yorkers thought about the Knicks of recent and whether or not they can bounce back.  With The current moves that have been made and a summer of free agency and having a future firsts round draft pick many around the city believe that this is their year.   I conducted a few interviews around Madison Square Garden and 34th street the heart of Knicks basketball and received some positive feedback.

In the video I got the chance to interview Eric Comrie, a native of New York and got his take on the knicks.  Although he is a Lebron James fan he did have some encouraging words for the knicks.  According to Eric  "They have what looks to be the number one pick in the draft and money for free agency so they should be good next year" but a first round draft pick will not catapault the knicks into championship conversations right away.  That is where Phil Jackson, Carmelo Anthony, and the summer of free agaency comes into play.  This coming July is when free agency begins and all eyes will be on the New York Knicks' franchise and to see wether or not they can be brought back to relevance.
