					<description><![CDATA[Mrs Walsh went into labor during Death of a Salesman with George C Scott as Willy and little Donnie took his first poop a few hours later.

Now that I think about it I should have become a salesman, just to title my boring ass memoir Re-Birth of a Salesman. I guess there’s still time, George C Scott would only be 98 years old if he was still alive. It beats the title of my current memoir, Slow Death of a Knicks Fan. That won’t even sell two copies now.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&lt;blockquote&gt; So, like MVP, “Top Knick” is very subjective. Best Knick, Melo over Randle. Most Relevant/Important Knick, I’d lean toward Randle over Melo.
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I’m counting “most important” Knicks.

Randle joined the Knicks at one of the lowest points in team history.

His 2021 season gave Leon early credibility and built a store of good will that he needed to survive his learning curve. 

And he played well enough to be the centerpiece of the KAT trade, without which we don’t win a title.

It’s an easy call for me. Randle is the third most important Knick of my lifetime after Brunson &#038; Patrick. 

Melo wouldn’t even make my list. He did more harm than good. We would have been better if he’d never joined.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I will never blame an athlete for trying to maximize his earnings, especially in a business where they&#039;re paid disproportionately relative to the value they create for their billionaire employers.

					<description><![CDATA[The amount Melo would have had to sacrifice if he had just gone to the Knicks as a free agent ça what jalen left on the table was nothing but it would have given the Knicks so much more room to build a contender around him.

In other words, Melo STFU. You aren’t an NBA champion. Jalen is. Deal with it.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Amare made the Knicks relevant again. Melo only wanted to come here after Miami formed a big three (so he couldn’t go there to play with LeBron) and Amare came here, made us decent, and suddenly the Knicks were fun and cool again. We beat the pants off of Denver with stat and right after that Melo started pushing the trade.

I fully believe if LeBron went to Miami with wade and Bosh didn’t go Melo would have eventually ended up there.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Funny, I was coming on to say Melo was Mr. Irrelevant!

I low-key despise Melo, arguably my least favorite Knick, but he was better than Julius. On the other hand, Julius was very good, and he actually made us relevant.

So, like MVP, &quot;Top Knick&quot; is very subjective. Best Knick, Melo over Randle. Most Relevant/Important Knick, I&#039;d lean toward Randle over Melo.

On the other hand, Karmelo Anthony, 19, was indicted on first-degree murder in the fatal stabbing of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf at a track meet in Frisco, Texas.]]></description>
