New York Knicks fan and Murder Inc. co-founder Irv Gotti is understandably upset right now. With his favorite team coming out of the crazy weekend that saw the NBA's top talent enter free agency less than ideal, Gotti has some strong words for Knicks owner James Dolan.
"Man, fuck Dolan," Gotti said when asked how he felt about free agency by TMZ. "Yay for the Nets, the Nets is poppin'... But y'know, it ain't nothin' like the garden, man." Before he walked off, he joked, "I feel like Stephen A. Smith." Earlier this week, a defeated Stephen A. Smith declared that the Knicks had lost their city to the Brooklyn Nets.
"This is the absolute worst day in the history of the New York Knicks franchise," Smith said on Monday's episode of First Take. "And it's the worst day for me too because Max Kellerman is absolutely right. The New York Knicks have lost New York to Brooklyn Nets. They are no longer the team, the basketball franchise that represents this city."
As both Toronto and Lakers fans sit in anticipation waiting for whatever Kawhi Leonard does next, Knicks fans are still furious that they've once again gotten the shaft. The Brooklyn Nets, however, made a few surprising deals that saw them come out of free agency weekend far better off than their fellow NYC team.
