I totally agree. This is really lame. He should have done a reality TV shown on it.

Doesn't it make more sense to give the greatest player in the NBA an hour show for such an announcement when we give similar coverage for 5 minutes to 17-year olds who statistically will likely never even start a college game.

Chad Johnson agrees...

MSG-owned New York Newsday is the first and only one reporting that "The Decision" will be televised from Greenwich, CT.

Agree with HJS. He announces early in the show and we then watch a bunch of crap on NYC and all it has to offer, etc.

HJS {l Wrote}:Holy crap... if he announces the Knicks, he will be the most hated person in sports... a Tiger-like popularity fall without all the fun.

That is idiotic. The Knicks are a sad-sack franchise that haven't been relevant since the Spurs put them to sleep in the finals a decade ago and hasn't won a title since before you were born. Due to their sheer ineptness, the Knicks are probably the least hateable New York franchise in sports. I would think picking Miami--not good enough to win on your own, eh LBJ, need Dwayne to hold your hand--or Chicago--can't build your own legacy, you have to steal it from MJ--would be far more unpopular moves in the general scheme of things.
I understand that there are always going to be losers from third-rate cities who hate everything about the Apex of Human Existence, but aside from that collection of shut-ins, Clevelanders, Bostonians (who really just comprise a large section of the first grouping) and losers from New Jersey who try to make up for their sad upbringing in Bergen County by pulling for fake teams like the Nets and Devils and hating all things New York City-related, this will not be controversial at all. It was the smart play. Especially, if as reported, Melo wants to come to MSG next year at a discount.
