      Not saying it’s not wild but there’s so many Italians in the NYC Metro that it’s underlying love for their kin. Example would be Tommy on the Giants

      I'm an Italian American from NYC but c'mon. Anyone that followed the Knicks knows Jalen Brunson is the reason we got to game 7 of the second round this year. The Big Ragu was extremely critical to our success and had huge moments but there really is no comparing the two.

      @@AdamRaia yeah, but being the best player sometimes has nothing to do with how people may react to a person. There’s retired nba players right now who think that Brunson can’t be a superstar due to being “boring”

    As a New Yorker, Brunson is the current face of NY sports. If the Yankees win the World Series then MAYBE Judge becomes the face for a bit

    If the jets go 5-0 with Rodgers then NY will go nuts. Morris not being able to acknowledge that as a “culture critic” based in NY just demonstrates how corrupt and lost our entertainment outlets/institutions have become. Rodgers beliefs dont fit nicely into the coastal elite ideology, so anyone who buys into that mindset will automatically have an adverse reaction to any possible positive effect Rodgers may have.
    It was a small exchange that was part of a bigger conversation but it really stood out to me.

    There’s nothing like an NHL game. It’s about tradition. Every city has their own unique chants when they score and traditions. I love the Yankees but it feels corporate nowadays. The Knicks are fun when they are winning. I dunno about Jets fans but MetLife stadium is a nightmare whenever I go to root the Giants. Going to a New York Ranger game is very intimate sports experience.

    The Anthony Edwards of other sports, Criteria is has to be at least a Top 20 player:
    Tennis: Carlos Alcaraz (Talent + Persona) or Nick Kyrgios (Mainly just Persona and not top 20 tho)
    Baseball: Fernando Tatis or Ronald Acuna
    Football: Stefon Diggs or Davante Adams
    Soccer: Would've said Neymar hands down a few years ago but Vinny Jr or Jude Bellingham
    Hockey: Matthew Tkachuk

      They may be C tier in terms of success but not relevance or value. As far as I know, they're one one of the most valuable NBA franchises, which is due to their relevance. Even an ok season from the Knicks is more important than a great season from a small market team. It's just how it is.
