    He's been the most exciting thing about the Knicks in the last 20 years, outside of them reaching the NBA Finals in 1999.

    Well if that is the case we should retire Moochi Norris's number too.

    The NBA should consider retiring the Knicks as an organization.

    I didn't know 6.5 years was "close to a decade."

    He was in Denver longer. If anything, it should be the Nuggets who retire his number.

    The New York Knicks' illustrious history since Patrick Ewing:

    - The Allan Houston era (or JVG if you prefer)
    - The Starbury era (or Isaiah Thomas and the Shagwagon)
    - The Land Before Time: Tar Pits era (or place where dinosaurs go to leave their fossils. Penny Hardaway, Jalen Rose, Jerome James, Eddy Curry, Steve Francis, Tracy McGrady)
    - Carmelo signs! Yay
    - Linsanity
    - We just drafted a unicorn. Let's kill it

    Carmelo definitely deserves to have his jersey retired there.

    This picture kind of sums up Amar'e's career in NY.

    Hell no. What did he do there? He only won 1 playoff series and made the playoffs just 3 times. They were begging him to waive his NTC and leave, that’s how bad things had gotten.

    All Melo did there was score points and lose. He doesn’t deserve to get his jersey retired. You actually have to accomplish things in order to get that achievement.

    The Knicks are such a joke.

    I wonder how many Knicks fans might be thinking 'you mean, like, in a burning ceremony?'
