Why everyone laughs at Knicks? (alien.top)

Hi all! I am a fresh NBA addicted and, surprisingly, I understand that the vast majority of fans laugh at Knicks.

Again, as a newbie into the NBA, I was assuming that a team based in NY, with a rich owner and lacking a NBA trophy since years would have been an immediate choice as a team to support.

Could someone explain me why? I imagine that bad management will be the main cause, but I am curious to understand more.

Please give me a reason to support and a reason no to support them.

I really hope you convince me to go for them 😃

Now is a decent time to support the Knicks, they have the best team they've had in over 20-25 years, competent management, a good coach, and a bunch of young players that are fun to watch. The owner used to meddle in the team alot and cause problems, but he has largely stopped doing this now.

The team is made fun of alot because they have a history of singing terrible players to expensive contracts, drafting badly, missing the playoffs or being elimnated quickly, and in general just completely messing up their potential despite their huge market and NBA players wanting to play there. They probably have the biggest disparity of market/power to team success in all of professional sports.
