The Knicks let Jeremy Lin walk
Any Knicks fans who say this was wise are just deluding themselves out of psychological necessity. They cannot face the truth—that owner James Dolan is a petty bastard who let a rising talent and marketing behemoth leave for nothing—because it would lead inexorably to self-immolation. To be a Knicks fan now, you must be able to maintain your reality-distortion field and believe that, at any moment, a purple unicorn will gallop into Madison Square Garden and gift the court with solid-gold robot versions of the 1972–73 Knicks.
