The conclusion of the Knicks' season brings a mix of emotions for the writer. The difference between feelings as a fan and those as a writer becomes starkly clear, particularly during the playoffs. The author expresses a strong emotional bond with the team, acknowledging the highs and lows, especially after a successful season with key players secured for the next. While feeling fulfilled as a fan, there's an underlying exhaustion from writing about the team. The piece ends with an invitation for readers to share thoughts and questions, fostering an interaction with the audience.
The Knick season ended 60 hours ago. Those are the first words I've written since.
You can't know until you start writing about your favorite team that there are light years of distance between your feelings and desires as a fan versus your feelings and desires as a writer.
The fan in me is at peace after one of the most successful Knick years of my life, knowing their top seven are all under contract next season.
So let's mailbag. What questions are you left with? Looking back? Looking forward? In the now? Knicks-wise?
