I love your videos there the best but it’s funny sometimes that when you make a video the exact thing that you thought wasn’t going to happen happens
I LOVE PROMOTING GAMBLING ADDICTIONS WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
KD should have listened to his dad and went to the knicks
Jalen Brunson IS a superstar, and he’s getting better each year with us. He’s 4th in scoring right now, how wouldn’t he be a superstar?
I think he's understating the media bias against the Knicks. No, it's not a coordinated effort, but it's pretty obvious that in the casual fan's eyes (who make up most of the NBA's fanbase), the Knicks are still the team to laugh at. It takes a very long time to change that reputation - it took championships and multiple finals appearance for teams like Golden State to be taken seriously. Also, Brunson is an amazing basketball player, but his game isn't "sexy", for lack of a better term. He doesn't play for highlights, he's gritty, tough, and hardworking. No disrespect to other superstars, but he plays for his team first and foremost.
He absolutely has been and will show the world that once again to not underestimate him this post season
I get you, but besides being an amazing scorer, he isnt a flashy, athletic freak, dunkin player as well as exotic or cocky and extroverted as hell as others like a Lebron, Giannis, Anthony Edwards, Luka or Jokic. But he'll get his probs in future, if he plays the way he plays now, love this guy as well!
The knick won't make it pass the second round
@@ExtraterrestrialBeing-jc7toWho’s your team? If we don’t make it past the second round, it’s because Julius is out for the season.
as a knicks fan born in 04, this is the most fun ive had since i was 9 as a knicks fan. since the turn of 2023 the team has been transformed and is still playing insanely well this season with 3 starters missing significant minutes and a lot of turnover of roll players
y'all are cursed with injuries
@@bloodhoundo9320 no we just made some shit ass trades and signings thats all. why was joakim noah gives 72 million. the only memory i have of bargnani is him airballing a dunk. we traded jr and shump for a bag of fritos and im talking about those ones youd get in school that could literally fit in ur pocket. we gave lance thomas OVER 20 MILLION
Yea bro I was born in 2003 and I’m so happy that I can finally enjoy watching my home team play
04 baby here as well
@@Apsburner9717Enjoy the ride
I was sad about Randles injury hurting our chances this post season, but this video reminded how far we've come and that this summer and beyond we're still in a great position. LETS GO KNICKS 🧡💙
Randle has always been bad in the playoffs what is there to be sad about.
@@NotGord fr it'd be the same result with or without him
The Eastern Conference KAT
@@richborn6700 modern day derozan
They saved their franchise when they got rid of Carmelo. They’ve just been rebuilding since then.
The Josh Hart move is seriously one of the most impactful trades I've ever lived through. And then the next year we got OG Anunoby. I love this Knicks team, man.
Don't forget the D. Rose trade
And bojan now
Hart trade reminds me of Denver taking A.Gordon. No matter how talented and good offensive options you have, you need those "dogs" who will run&bite on both sides of the court, they are also pumping some dopamine into your other players and whole team plays better. I think they could sneak in conference finals without problem tho. Nice rebuild, reminds me of Denver like I said. Cheers.
@@stefkobl cheers!
The Knicks getting josh Hart n anunoby was the two best moves I've seen in a long while for anyteam
Credit to Leon Rose and staff for being patient and not making panic mode moves these last few years. Knicks have now become relevant in the league and are getting noticed. Good signing of Brunson and building around him with nova buddies, traded OG for defense, Achiuwar fits in nicely, Bogdanovic provides bench presence and Hartenstein signing before all this and filled in nicely when Robinson was injured and now is starting at 5 spot for NYKs
Had bone head management realized the knicks needed defense earlier then knicks would of been relevant.
Shitty that Randle is finished for the season, but I'm still excited to see what they can do in the playoffs
they're probably going out second round/conference finals at best
@@bloodhoundo9320conference finals is extremely generous. Second round is most likely if they don’t get bounced in the 1st round
They’re set up for years to come though.. it’s not like this year is chip or bust, they will come back stronger than ever next season
Randle always suck in Playoffs. That is always his habit.
@@mr.pointman1930this team covers for his weaknesses exceptionally well. I feel as though this wouldve been his year. He’s dominant in isolation and secondary playmaking and we’re missing that badly
Finally some knicks love
Do a video on the John Walls' Wizards era or how the Kings went on a 16 year playoff drought
the king playoff drought sounds more interesting tbh, there's more history to dive into
@@bloodhoundo9320 the way the kings kept drafting bigs w lottery picks while they had demarcus cousins on the roster was so ridiculous lmao
Minnesota deserves one
@@jxmmykriminallive idk how an nba team is that blind lol
@@ozzyramirez740if we make a decent playoff run Dylan definitely needs to cover Minnesotas rise back up. One WCF back in 2004. Now the third straight post season since the late 90s. Anthony Edwards is what we hoped Love, Wiggins, even KAT could have been. Plus the ownership struggle is a chapter in itself
The Knicks superstar is Jalen Brunson. He has blossomed into the best point guard in the East. It’ll be interesting to see what the future Leon Rose moves are for the team. If Knicks keep playing at this current pace, they can make a deep run in the playoffs.
I wonder if only offensive players get to be superstars
@@THE_HORSEYYquiet
Tyrese maxey just entered the chat
You say that...but games 1 and 2 he went like 7-54 or something and got lucky on the bounce in game 2
@@andrewzapata9420 3-1 Knicks
The persona music is such a good added touch to this video
**injuries have entered the chat**
I just want one season of a deep playoff run
@@ashinyblockreal❌❌❌❌
East is mid they can still make a run
@@mhead1117 Celtics are sellers, bucks are I don’t even know, Cavs are falling off, and Magic are somehow this good.
Yeah this really could've maybe been their year with a healthy Randle. Next year Anunoby may opt out and their bench death is going to be gutted, it's still going to be a strong roster but the East is going to onky get tougher, for example a healthy 76ers finally free of Tobias Harris' awful contract
Congrats to the Knicks. They are a great team. Coming from a Nets fan. Brunson is that dude. It'll be interesting to see what they can do in the Playoffs.
Look what they’re doing
And can I just say: Persona music in an NBA analysis video is GOATED.
Persona music anywhere is goated
@@mekacrab Amen to that.
What song is this? Seriously asking.
@@GraitBritton it's from Persona 5! It's called "Wake Up, Get Out There" (I'm serious)
@expychristian bro...thats not the song in the intro. The very 1st song..HELP YA BROTHER 😂😂
As a longtime Knicks fan I cant beleive we have the team we have. Its an actual team. They play hard, and play for eachtother. I love how we dont have Durant. Didnt want a Melo era 2.0. This team reminds me of the 90s era Knicks.
Rip Nets and their big 3
You had me at Persona 5 - OST
My glorious king Dylan with a 30 minute video oh yeah 😍😍😍
Insane glazing
@@mhead1117 not if its Dylan tho
@@Skyfeyyy nah its still glazing
As a Knick fan I BEEN waiting for a video like this
The Knicks getting rid of Porzingas and not getting Kyrie and KD were the best choices they ever made in the past 25 years.
I am so used to tuning out the media after they spent most of the last two and a half decades clowning us, I did not even realize they have ignored our S tier rebuild. I am 24, 2021 and this year have been the most fun I have had as a Knicks fan my entire life. Unfortunately injuries will probably take us down prematurely, but I cannot wait for the future. Thank you for bringing attention to them.
Ima drop some banger ideas The Sacramento kings 16 year playoff drought How the Milwaukee bucks went from purgatory in the 2000s to one of the most beloved franchises The we believe warriors era How the wizards never made a conference finals in 40 years The MJ era in charlotte How CP3 never won a championship The dirk nowitzki era in Dallas How minisota never won a playoff series the past 20 years
There's certainly a lot of material for a Minnesota video, especially with the rise of Anthony Edwards and the wild trajectory of the Rudy Gobert trade.
None of these are banger ideas. Lol nah jk, I'd watch them
All of these were better ideas than over 20 min on DeAndre Ayton
@@richborn6700 hey man don't slander dominayton
Why don’t you make them?
They saved their franchise, because they didn't listen to Stephen A Smith 😀
True
“The King of New York- Trae Young” is insane.
he wears their crown
I hear no lies
He hasn't done anything. And his team shrivels to our team.
Rip Trae
@@bloodhoundo9320 that’s not even realistic when Jalen Brunson is actually on the Knicks, and trea young has done nothing since. Brunson is the king of ny.
I stopped watching the NBA and the Knicks a while ago and been out of the loop. This is such a great summary and breakdown to help catch up! Thanks for this!
people need to look at the sheer imrpovement from rj barrett after the trade to the raptors. he went from 18-4-2 on 42-33 splits to 21-6-4 on 56-43 splits. he improved in every category and his splits shot up considerably even his ORTG, DRTG, OBPM, DBPM, BPM, VORP, OWS, WS, WS/48, TS%, and PER. he has become a completely different and better player and is slowly becoming something worth the 3rd pick
can he keep it up, though?
@@bloodhoundo9320 i don't see why not he's been doing it for 23 games I think
Just needed a team to play around him, both parties better off without each other
@@GetCaughtLacking23 games isn‘t that big of a sample size. Very possible he actually is that good, but he could also regress next season. Mikal bridges averaged like 25 points on good efficiency last year after the trade and is nowhere near that this season.
@@doesntmatter5744 i mean rj has been doing this consistently since the trade so who knows. from the sample size we got it looks like a completely new RJ but we'll have to wait until next season
J Brunson is our super star don’t matter if the media doesn’t see it. We New Yorkers see it.
DylanDoesBasketball video chronicling the Knicks return to power I AM SEATED
Damn Dylan switched it up with Persona 5 music this vid, I fw it
Never knew that the NBA and Persona music was a combo I needed.
Hey Dylan, I just want to say thank you for what you do. Your videos really inspire me and every time you upload I drop everything and watch. Masterpiece after masterpiece.
We got a superstar and everyone finna see in the playoffs
12:07 Dylandoesbasketball with the Persona 5 music “Butterfly Kiss” ?? Fire bro
Jalen Brunson is the little guinea pig 😂😂😂
Thanks for your entertaining videos keep the good work up ❤💪🏽
Thank u for making this! I haven’t kept up with the Knick since linsanity lol but I love watching this Brunson, hart, Randle team! The grit is unmatched. This filled in a lot of gaps for me as far as how they got here.
noticed you used the persona 5 soundtrack to jazz up your vid. love your content man, keep them coming!
I enjoyed this video. Keep up the hard work hopefully, let’s go New York Knicks.
Great Recap Video. Good work man
As a Knicks fan I never thought we’d get a positive Dylan video. It’s been a long ride, still more to do
this was an amazing video explaining all the moves the knicks made to be where they are right now. Great explaining and pieces of proof to prove your points.
A Knicks Redemption Arc video from Dylan? Whoever let this man cook give him the keys to the kitchen
The Knicks do have a superstar
Wait Dylan uploaded a video during course of the weekend, incredible, bring out the popcorn
appreciate this bro , New York Knick nation appreciates you
12:01 ngl you earned my respect even more with using P5 music here 💪🏾
Yep I’ve been through ton of heart break this team they have this year gives me hope finally
Thanks for the recap. I’m an old head Knick fan but fell off keeping up with sports in general over the last decade. This current team reminds of the brief Spree/Camby/LJ/Houston era.
Dylan going crazy with the uploads 🎉
Pls post more your one of my favorite channels ❤
Just earned a sub bro, great vid!
Hiring Tom Thibodeau was the turning point. Not trading Kristaps.
Every time Dylan posts I’m like ope I guess I’m binging every video again 😂😅
I like the inclusion of “Butterfly Kiss” from Persona 5 during the video.
I just gotta aay youre editing is goated lol
I love Brunson. Started an expansion dynasty in 2K and was able to get him through some fancy trades. Never even heard of him before but he's awsome!
It was a bold move to rebuild but I’m glad the Knicks took their time to build a consistent playoff contending team.
Great stuff!
I was here in a hour and I want to say it’s great to see the Knicks be good again
I was born in 67. Too young to remember the early 70's teams. The constant heartbreaks of the 90's. The complete embarrassment of this century. God it's great to be a Knick fan. All i ask is let me see 1 in my lifetime. LETS GO KNICKS ❤
I agree with you that a few people saw the potential and Jalen Brunson. However, you could see when he was at Villanova his potential. They knocked WVU out of the tournament and he put up 27. I’m from West Virginia and remember that game. The way he controlled the court you could tell he was a leader. Even before the playoff run against Utah, Mavs fans knew we needed to pay him.
I remember an episode of Get Up where Richard Jefferson and Jalen Rose were consoling Stephen A. about the Knicks missing out on Kyrie and KD. They recommended that the Knicks faithful should be patient and for the Knicks to be wise on picking up players and not going for superstars every free agency. Knicks built their team up slowly, got players that get along mentally instead of trying to build superteams, and did not let the criticism get to their heads.
Hate when people say it but ngl your vids never miss always a good day when you upload
Bro, big fan of the channel and a 27-year-old Knicks fan this one is special for me 😢
Great vid! Deserves 1m views
Excellent video and great example of a different way to rebuild a team Leon Rose should win Exec of the Year. He’s made the right moves
Best basketball content creator along with jimmy high roller 🔥🔥🔥 and its not even close
Despite Dylan's low drone, this is one of the best vids I've seen in a minute.. (sorry Dylan)
The NYK turnaround can be summed up with 1 word: patience. No more Hail Mary FA signing or trade, no more sudden change of direction, each year's success is built on top of previous year. Leon Rose, in my opinion, is the main reason why they were so patient.
Dolan went out of the way and let the execs he hired do their jobs. Probably the best addition by subtraction recently.
I was 1 yrs old when the knicks were last champs, IM 52 YRS OLD!!!!! I wanna WIIINNNNN BABY!!!!!😢😢😢😢
I want to see the Knicks win it all! They have an exciting young roster with so much to show!
Tourist Trophy ost you're such a goat for that
Jalen Brunson is a superstar
the persona music really ties it all in
I think the one factor you disregarded about the Knicks losing the series against the Hawks was that Mitch Robinson was injured and would have been a big factor in the paint to counter Clint Capela. You see a huge difference when he is healthy.
Ive called myself a Knick Fan since 2010. I have only just started enjoying being a Fan. Im 27
One of thee best put together videos ive seen. I enjoyed that 4$ure.
i sure hope so, i was a youngblood in the ewing era then went through allllll the times since. we deserve some good energy, dolan has made me wanna quit numerous times in the past lol.
Jalen is honestly the best FA signing in the past 5yrs.
Jalen Brunson IS that superstar. Great video, but the disrespect to Brunson at the end is crazy. He is arguably top 5 in the league right now.
this should be a series you can talk about the kings, mavs, nuggets etc
Love seeing brunson get his time in the limelight. Boi is such an insane hard worker
good friday
It took the Knicks 20 fucking long, damning, miserable years, but the old saying still stands "You can only be bad for so long"
as a knicks fan this video makes me happy, only thing holding us back at this point is injuries
Ive always rooted for my Knicks good or bad theres just something magical about them. We dont make a run often but when we do there nothing like it. Being from Texas living in Dallas I love reminding them of the mistake they made by giving us the true MVP. Luka could never.
You did a GREAT job on this! We are doing this without Randle. While his inside presence and scoring would have made us more formidable against a healthier Embid, his terrible handle and turnover proclivity was a clear liability. It seemed when OG showed up, Randle realized he didnt have to do everything. Interesting to see if Rose moves him without losing the positives he brings. Also, kudos to Rose who definitely had some missteps on his rode to being a bonafide GM guru, with the help of being on the right side of luck and ruthless opportunism (diplomatically speaking). Again great job from you. Was not expecting such comprehensive clarity from an independent youtuber.
Amazing Vid
Good story my man the knicks got one of the best front office and point guard and coach and team they didn't have in years they are fun to watch.GO KNICKS
As a Knick’s fan, this is a bit ambitious. Yes gone are the Ewing habitual playoff days I was used to but with melo we went three consecutive times. Last year they didn’t exceed anything the Melo era accomplished. It’s not just injury bc every team has that. Its depth to replace lost firepower. Nothing has changed in this regard. Even all the headlines about their record before losing randle - keep in mind that stretch of a dozen games where their record was severely improved only 3 teams had a record over 500. It was uniquely one of the worst stretches a team got. They beat the nuggets which is a good sign but that’s it. A win over a middling heat isn’t tantamount to a successful rebuild. If they make a run, or atleast consistently make post season despite injuries, I’ll believe. But not until then.
Great documentation of the Knicks comeup
Inept coach is pretty crazy!
Best basketball channel on KZhead.
Mills and Fizdale with their fake smiles lmao
Great vid but was expecting the Achuwa shoutout and acknowledgement of JB becoming a superstar!
I respect the sm galaxy music here!
As a Knick fan since 2004, it’s crazy how much I forgot about. 😮💨😮💨 It was rough man. The jokes were endless & so was the pain
the persona music fye
I think Jalen Brunson is defintley a superstar with NO questions asked. Don't really get why he said the Knicks don't have a true superstar. 🤔⭐
When they run it back next season, i think they are going to be even better
Just came to say, even before watching the vid, I like the thumbnail - yes, it took a player essentially the polar opposite of Carmelo👍🏼
knicks redemption video and persona music, i am a happy fella today
