Despite the popularity and fandom, the New York Knicks haven’t been a consistent contender at the playoffs. In the last 10 seasons, the team managed to enter two playoffs. However, some experts believe that the Knicks are back to their winning ways. Apart from that, the team’s 28-year-old star, Josh Hart, also rested his confidence on the team. Moreover, he recently revealed his life in New York after making into the side with a four-year contract.
On the other hand, the team didn’t make any sound deals in the off season. Apart from extending Hart’s contract for four more years and roping in Donte DiVincenzo from the Dubs, the Knicks haven’t pulled off any hot deals. While the team looks weak on paper, former General Manager of the Golden State Warriors, Bob Myers, backed the team to perform better in the upcoming seasons. Let’s find out what Hart has in his heart about the city and its team.
