Kobe Bryant, who spent his entire career with the Lakers, has said he wanted to play for the Wizards and Bulls.
Add the Knicks to the list.
Bryant in a Q&A, via Frank Isola of The Athletic:What other teams would you have liked to play for besides the Lakers?
There are some teams … I always kind of dreamed about playing in New York and what that would have been like. It’s true. As a fan, the Garden was the historical arena.
So, I always wanted to be a part of that history and play in it. So, New York was a team … it would have been pretty good to play in that city.
For a while, the best thing the Knicks have had going for them is their arena. That gets them only so far.
They need better ownership, better management, better coaching.
Maybe Kevin Durant will help turn the tide. If he chooses New York, it surely won’t be for only Madison Square Garden.
