Congratulations and best of luck in Brooklyn! Eliminating the commute will add years back your life and I’m so excited for your kids to grow up in the greatest city in the world. You deserve all the success. I have to say, this Newsletter has been as much of a must read in the off-season as it was during the season and I’m stunned at your ability to produce quality content on a daily basis. Subscribing was some of the best money I’ve spent this year. I look forward to what the future holds for KFS and for your amazing family.

Too much commuting time sucks! Hope your family loves the move. I grew up in a different NYC, but I still think it's a great place to be a kid [and it's even better for the parents].

Orange Julius was up for the challenge of being a Knick. Is a disciple of the Kobe School of NBA Professionalism, Skill Development. Competition, and Winning. He had a rough first year, under Fiz & Miller, but overcame his struggles (too much 1 on 1 play, too many spinorama moves & holding the ball forever). He's made for the modern NBA game and he's up for the City. Hurrah!

You can only [successfully] build on a firm foundation. So, RJ, IQ, the 21 draft kids, Obi (will he be there longterm?), and Mitch (Ditto?) have a Dude to look up to. And, forgive the religious sacrilege, Kobe to Julius to the Knick youngsters is kind of like Apostolic Succession. Knowing and spending time with a great, a legend matters. These are great roots for present and future Knick players to grow from.

Congrats on the move Macri! I'm sure you'll love it, and Prospect Park is kind of the place that gave me hope about this country, as I grew up mostly in Tennessee. PP is pretty much a melting pot fantasy of scruffy grass and good vibes. I bike everywhere too and Brooklyn and New York in general are the most fun urban biking I've ever done (Berlin aint bad). Exciting move and exciting year to be covering the Knicks. Mazal Tov!

I grew up in Brooklyn a few decades ago, and it’s still a place I call home. There’s something about the city that keeps it’s inhabitants hungry for more, it keeps you moving and grinding, growing and striving and reaching and searching for more.

Keep grinding Sir, and never let the dust settle beneath your feet.
