Yeah.

Next nation.

Why?

Okay.

Let me ask you something, Casey.

Why are you so loyal to this franchise?

Who's not only done nothing but stink for all of you?

How do you?

36.

So your whole life they've stuck basically your whole life, they've stuck.

And you know No.

I went through to you and use your 36 years old.

How old were you when Patrick Ewing was in his prime?

I was.

I was a good eight years old.

That's when I came into the game.

Right there.

Knicks, Bulls, Knicks, Pacers Nick's 2nd 36 years ago.

Let me just do this math right now.

It's 2021.

Carry the one to get there to 2000 and 15 1985.

Do you Google 1985.

You were born in 1985 1984.

Do you Google's man?

I was there.

I was there for the dunk.

You see, the dunk behind me is right behind me.

Classic days.

Even if that was the case, he barely knew what was going on at the time.

What have they done for you since then.

Casey.

Listen, Max, it's been a hard 20 years since we traded the captain.

You know this.

It's been a hard 20 years from, you know, the the Houston $100 million contract to the mall.

Berry error to, you know, bringing in Carmelo and stat mixtape was good.

52 wins, second in the east, one year and one years getting to the playoffs and not getting out of the first round.

You're celebrating that.

You see, this is what I mean about the mind.

Uh, they can't like of an abused Knicks fan.

You accept it.

You're like, Oh, they're good to me sometimes.

One time in 20 years.

We got to the plant, they had a series.

You have sold out.

You used to be in these New York streets.

They used to call you the General.

That's right.

They they used to call you the General They used to salute.

You used to call it down the middle objective with no makeup.

You're a diehard Casey.

I was just I was next propagandist.

What do you mean?

I was I was getting a proper propagandists.

I don't know.

Celebrating Eddy Curry.

What do you mean, straight down the middle.

I was in, um, Eddy Curry.

I have notes from Knicks fans who said You said when Eddy Curry was beast in an 0 16 071 Max Kellerman said, There aren't five guys in the n b A.

That he would trade Eddy Curry.

Four.

I was lying.

We got it on tape.

I was lying.

We got it on tape.

That's okay.

I was lying.

Not only that, I was hoping I had my next goggles on.

I was hoping he was.

He was Bee Sting.

He was scoring and I was hoping, but that's what I mean.

Casey Casey Powell CP, The franchise founder of Knicks Fan TV on the Goodyear Hotline.

Max Kellerman show, ESPN Radio, By the way.

You know why you're on Because we tried to get Chuck D.

Chuck is slammed.

He does the show when he can, he said, You got to have Casey Powell on.

He'd be great.

And we said, All right.

Chuck D.

Recommended cases on the show.

Now, Case and Base has appointed me.

I understand.

With the duties of confronting the haters they have put me in this, you got it.

That is what makes fancy.

Well, you're looking at You're talking to a hater right now.

You're talking to a hater right now.

Now, listen, this is what I'm talking about.

When you're a Knicks fan, you have to pretend Eddy Curry is great.

You have to hope that David Lee I once said I wouldn't trade him for Kevin Garnett.

I was.

I drank the Knicks Kool Aid and I was also selling mix Kool Aid.

I was pedalling mix Kool Aid, but I got off no time served because finally, it occurred to me that I cannot root for a James Dolan owned team.

Casey, do you know it's like dealing with the Knicks in those days?

You know, it was like dealing with him when I got to L A.

Dealing with the Lakers was a pleasure.

Even when they stunk.

And I was criticizing Jim Buss.

It was easy to deal with the Lakers.

You know, dealing with the Knicks is like I do, but this is what happens when you leave home and you go Hollywood.

You forgot where you came from.

Tell me where is the honor and front running?

So you went to L a now they won a championship.

What did it do for you?

How did you feel when they won that championship?

It was empty.

No, it it was empty.

It made me feel good.

Wouldn't have felt as good as if as if the Knicks won a championship.

That and I rode with him the whole time.

Of course not.

But that's the point.

Casey there never winning a championship journey, a journey part of the journey.

We are on a journey right now.

Mexico.

It's gone.

This is why you have me on 18 and 17.

Number four in the East.

Put some respect on the alright.

Mainstream media has been dragging us through the mud, L O L.

Nicks.

And now, when they're trying to have sensible topic sensible conversation at the team, they sound foolish because they can't even come back to the middle.

Because the Knicks fan the smartest fan, the most sophisticated fan and all of NBA fandom is not having it.

We will have been exposed.

The mainstream media has been exposed.

You had one guy come on this station the other day and say that Austin Rivers was the reason for the Knicks success recently.

Austin Rivers.

He hasn't been relevant in months.

He hasn't played in weeks.

I call it like I see it on the Knicks now, and when they're playing hard, I'll admit it.

They're playing well.

They're an exciting team to watch.
