This past decade had a lot of bad moments, sagas, and seasons, but that didn't stop us from having special and memorable moments in the rough years.

One of them for me is going to my first Knicks game, the home opener in 2008 against the Heat. I hated the Heat the most, still do, and got to see the Knicks beat them. Also was Gallinari's first regular season game! Got no points, but wasn't in long. Did a behind the back dribble though! Haven't been to a game since, I hope I do soon.

I loved watching Nate, David Lee, etc. Even though we didn't have a team built for a a championship, that was my goal for them to achieve.

While I feel more comfortable with the Knicks winning games now, it was exciting when we won against Playoff teams, especially contending teams such as the Celtics even though we didn't have elite players.

Nate Robinson going off in Atlanta after being benched for many games, T-Mac's debut, etc.

T-mac's debut was a good one I have to say. Even though we hadn't hit the summer of 2010 yet there was that 1 game, 1 night glimmer of hope that we might see some sort of success that season. It didn't happen but hey it was nice to have some real hope for once after 8 years of not much.

Some of Wilson Chandlers dunks were truly special. The one against the Celtics over Garknee, the facial on Scola etc.

David Lee's game winning tip in.

Nate's first slam dunk title (was actually a sick contest to watch that year).

But in all honesty there ain't much from that decade that stands out :lol:

Isaiah Thomas drawing up a 3 point play specifically for Eddie Curry simply because "no one would expect it" and for it actually to work out ok.

What the hell can you say to that? Typical example from the Blunder Years but somehow they pulled it off.

Nates 42 point game off the bench, T-macs debut, this one game against the Pistons where we just went off. T-mac, Walker, Douglas, and Lee all went for like 20+. Jamal Crawford. And who can forget

Yo that Crawford crossover on Hinrich still gives me the chills. And dont get it twisted, Hinrich might be white but hes the gullyest white dude the nba has ever seen. And he still got his ankles torn off by crawford

My favorite moment was the 2007 playoff run. The Knicks were right in it until Starbury, Curry, and Lee all got injured. I thought that was Starburys best year as a pro because of the great defense he played on point guards and shooting guards. I remember him battling through injuries and all sorts of pain. I learned how to shut down the best offensive players by watching marbury that year and i still use his technique.

Nothing comes close to the Harper, Starks, Oakley, Mason & Ewing days. NY went to war & played as a team. If it weren't for Jordan, who knows how many rings we would have won. Broke my heart to see Hakeem & Houston get the best of us in 94.

I pretty much knew we had no chance against Robinson & the Spurs back in what, 98 or 99, but the late 90's/Early 2000's were special times with Ward/Childs, Houston, Sprewell, Camby, Kurt Thomas & LJ. Those guys did an amazing job of putting NY on their back as Ewing started to age, & also represented NY well once Ewing was gone. They too played with heart & got the best of Miami.

After that, it all went down the drain in an instant. I missed NY basketball too much to share any "good memories". Sad that Steve Francis never worked out. I hated the years of Marbury. He was nothing more than a selfish player. The Curry days hurt deeply, I thought we finially landed our 1st true big since #33. Z.Randolph were sad days too.

Thank you Amare Stoudemire. You saved the Knicks.

Dumbest Design Play Ever

I've gotta go with Eddy Curry's 3 V Milwaukee.



Isiah Thomas designed that play saying: "You think you've got one in you?"

It actually dropped and we won the game.

What a pair of dick weeds.

Seriously, if Amar'e had not signed with the Knicks, what hope would this franchise have had? We'd be as big a joke as the Clippers and the Nets.
