Felton and Amare named team captains

It is official and I have a tweet from Tommy Dee and a video of Mike D saying it.

So we know who will lead this team.

Obviously Amare was going to be one of them and I wasn't sure if Gallinari would have been named another over Felton because of his time in NY but I see why Mike D named these guys as captains.

Both players are the hardest working, mentally and phyiscally built players on this team. They will speak plainly and honestly like Lee did in interviews last season and their work ethic and tough attitudes will be translated to the entire Knicks team.

Good call.

In a system like D'Antoni's which relies so heavily on a solid PG facilitating and running the offense he needs to be a team captain.

And Amar'e is the best player on the team.

Good choices. It would've been interesting to see Gallo as captain but you don't make a kid with basically one year of playing experience a captain, it just doesn't work out that way
