Assignment 20 Nick Walters

I am a man of many talents, but id have to say that one of my best and most useful talents is how to retain your faith in your favorite sports team when they are struggling, specifically the new york knicks. I have been a knicks fan for quite a few years and while they have had some good moments and things to be proud of (2nd seed in 2013, development of porzingis, Carmelo dropping 62, carmelos mvp-caliber season in 2013) there have been 10 times as many bad moments (2nd worst in the league a couple years back, no draft picks thanks to the carmelo trade and the andrea barnani trade, james dolan being a friggin idiot, a carousell of head coaches, no front office stability, signing joakim noah to this awful deal, trying to trade carmelo). You may ask how i stay positive through all of this? Well, there is a bright side to everything. Just this year, the knicks had the 3rd seed in thr east back in december. However, they now possess the fourth worst record in the league. This means that they obviously werent ready for the playoffs, and now get another season to rebuild. It also means that derrick rose and his glass knees will leave in free agency, and we get to draft a top tier pointguard in the draft, ans this draft class is stocked full of them. So when youre down about your favorite sports team sucking some serious balls, just remember that theres a positive side.
