The best of Stephen A.'s Knicks meltdowns, rants and heartbreaks from 2019-20 | NBA on ESPN

From missing out on Zion Williamson in the 2019 NBA Draft Lottery, to letting Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving slip through their fingers in free agency, the New York Knicks’ struggles began before the season started. (12:20) “I’m growing depressed,” Stephen A. Smith says of the Knicks. To prove it, here are his most memorable moments from the Knicks’ seventh consecutive losing season.

[@nicksirju8717]

Stephen A Smith's depression as a Knicks fan gives me great joy. ESPECIALLY when this man has constantly disrespects my Raptors. We made not be big in free agency, but at least Masai has enough sense to draft diamonds in the ruff Examples: Pascal Siakam, Fred Vanvleet, OG Anouby, Terrance Davis, Matt Thomas, etc... and I think that's worth more than Julius Randle, Bobby Portis, Taj Gibson, etc...
