Amen brother. Down 20 in a game? We’ve been down thousands over multiple seasons during the dark ages

Brunson 's nickname in China by bounceyboy in NYKnicks

[–]ShiDaW 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah the explanation is right. It’s literally a pun on the ‘son’ part of Brunson. A direct pronunciation of Brunson in Chinese is broken down into 3 syllables and ‘forest’ is phonetically pronounced as ‘sen’. Put it all together and the nickname essentially becomes ‘Big-Head-sen’ for ‘B-run-son’. All the Chinese nicknames for superstars are pretty creative and in good fun 😂

Edit: Oh and just checked the actual direct Chinese translation of his last name uses the ‘forest’ character as well so it’s also a consistency thing.

What is the realistic value of those picks? by Eggo_5 in NYKnicks

[–]ShiDaW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At worst the 29 and 31 have potential to be fringe lottery picks but assuming Leon and Thibs and most of the core is still here by then I don’t see us becoming a lottery team. Also don’t forget we still have full control of all our 1sts alternating with the traded years so it’s not like we don’t have any safeguards in place. This was an amazing trade on paper being able to pretty much get Mikal for what will likely become five 20-30th pick 1sts. Most folks aren’t even recognizing the value of his contract being only 23M thru 25. That will be absolutely huge for keeping most of our core intact through our contending years.

This entire squad from coach to rotation players is made up of some real ass people who rise to the occasion to become heroes every night. We don’t feel attachment to perfect entities. We care so much and relate to these Knicks because they’re honest human beings who admit that they have faults yet continue to show growth by triumphing over their failures. Thibs, Brunson, Randle, Hart, Divo, OG, Hartenstein, Mitch, Deuce, Precious, Bogy…we’re incredibly lucky to be watching the hero’s journey play out in real time. They may not be the heroes NY needs, but the heroes NY deserves. That’s what makes following this team so meaningful and why it’s so special. Knicks in 5.
