Knicks fans can finally be thankful after years of disappointment

Gathered around this theoretical Thanksgiving table, you have fans with different allegiances to active New York sports teams.

Jets. Giants. Rangers. Islanders. Nets. Knicks.

And guess who has the most reasons to be thankful in 2024?

Once the family disappointment who uttered “Alexey Shved” on his one-item thankful list a decade ago, the Knicks fan has the easiest time now regaling the table with his/her good fortune. Even Wednesday’s pre-Thanksgiving dud in Dallas — a 129-114 embarrassing defeat — can be shrugged off in the context of the excellent win over the Nuggets two nights prior.
