Brown’s 2003-04 Pistons came fastest to mind in comparison to this Knicks team, probably the last superstar-free champion in the league.
CHARLESTON, S.C. — Maybe you are a wait-and-see Knicks fan. Maybe all the years and all the lousy basketball have taken their toll, so that even last year’s enjoyable renaissance at Madison Square Garden is something you spy with a jaundiced eye. It’s OK. It’s understandable. You don’t have to cannon ball into the deep end just yet.
Brown is uniquely familiar with this team in a lot of ways, starting with a longtime admiration for Tom Thibodeau. A few years back, he was living in Philadelphia, and he would often drive over to the Villanova campus — “I was there more than Jay Wright was,” he laughs, “because there were some days he was off recruiting.”— Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart, Donte DiVincenzo, Ryan Arcidiacano — on the roster. But Brown sees that as more than a quirky oddity.
“I’m the devil, you know that,” Brown says with a laugh. “It took them a long time to get used to this guy sitting on the bench spouting nonsense at them.”
