That was not a very good draft, I remember it like it was yesterday. I was real pissed when Camby got traded, I didnt even want to be a Knick fan anymore. I was about to start rootin for the Magic. Ewing was my favorite player and I think he got traded the year before this draft. Camby becomes my favorite player and then he gets traded. I stuck with the Knicks and its lookin like a real bad decision now. I couldve spared myself alot of pain and suffering.

The thing is with me, I can't even imagine being a fan for another team. Cause I dislike almost each NBA team in the NBA..

True at this point Im the same way, I could never change now and its been that way since that draft. I hate the Nets and Im startin to hate the Celtics. I used to hate The Pacers, Heat, and the Bulls but when your team sucks you have less reasons to hate other teams because theres no rivalrys. I still hate Michael Jordan to this day, I hope the Bobcats continue to miss the playoffs so that MJ looks like a bad gm, lets not forget hes the F*ckin idiot that took Kwame Brown 1st in the 2000 draft.

Theres alot of teams I like besides the Knicks but theres only one team that I have all over the walls of my bedroom and that I wear almost daily and thats the Knicks. Your bedroom kind of looked like mine, I got a spot in my room with all my retired jerseys. I got Camby, Ewing, Houston, Frazier, and Michael Sweetney up there. Sweetney dont belong up there but what else am i gonna do with his jersey.

Teams I watch: the Magic, the Suns, the Rockets, the Cavs, the Hawks, the Kings (ron Artest), the Lakers, the Warriors, the Nets (I hate them but they are fun to watch), and the Nuggets. Theres probaly a couple teams Im missing but no matter how much they suck, Ima knick fan 4 Life. If I wasnt a bitch when it comes to needles Id get the knicks logo tatooed on my arm. I have been thinkin about gettin an Artest jersey but he mite end up in NY eventually.

In my opinion Nene wasn't even such a terrible pick, whatever happened after the draft, is what sent the Knicks into a state of mediocrity that has now turned into a crisis. I also remember those days, and it was my worst moment as a knick fan next to the Ewing trade..
