Guys it’s been a rough week for me. I’ll take you through what it was like as a Knicks fan step by step, GIF by GIF…

Leading up to the draft basically doing everything but drafting Frank Ntilikina because he’ll fit the most outdated offensive system in basketball…

Coming to grips with it and watching his YouTube clips, convincing myself he’s KP 2.0 in terms of an unknown European phenom…

Rumors surface that Phil Jackson is willing to trade Kristaps Porzingis, the only positive to come from his abortion of a tenure as president of basketball operations…

Hearing him actually say he wants to do what is best for the team and that this is basically over a damn exit interview…

But also hearing this was possibly a hoax out of KP and friends to push Phil out of NY…

The 24 hours leading up to the draft knowing that this could actually happen…

But then seeing the Celtics and Suns make their picks AND seeing Malik Monk fall to the Knicks at 8…

They can’t possibly screw this up can they?

And we all know what happened next, with the 8th pick in the 2017 NBA draft, the New York Knicks select Frank Ntilikina…

I hate this team…

As for music this week, more of a hip hop vibe. Travis Scott, Vince Staples, and Gucci Mane with some heavy hitters this time around. Some more chill tracks with Drake, DJ Khaled, and even a throwback from Moosh and Twist. Our resident Nova grad MRG also making his presence felt here, with the Big Baller Brand inspired track, Like I’m Lonzo. Finally a little tribute to Prodigy to round out this week. It doesn’t look like the embedded player wants to cooperate, so follow the link below to listen. ENJOY.
