Go to 5:20 of this clip and watch as Stern maneuvers to pick up a certain envelope.

Can lightning strike twice?</description>

		<description>I concur with Mark.....JVGundy and the rest of his overreaching Knicks at his time, were in pain and mocked by its own people.</description>

		<description>I hate to say it, but Isiah has a point about Knicks fans, and even the organization, having a total focus on only winning championships representing success.  Here is the evidence:

(1)  Watch the Summer of 94 special on MSG.  It points out that even those terrific Knicks teams of the 90s were never judged on their own but were found lacking when compared to the ancient championship teams.  I remember this.  The 90s teams were always being criticized for not playing the elegant, passing, graceful game of the sainted Frazier/Reed years.

(2)  Patrick was always criticized, even mocked, for failing to win a championship.  Yes, we appreciate him now but he was other than beloved at the time.  This is no exaggeration, but he even thought he might get booed when he first came back in a Sonics uniform.  Sure, it didn&#039;t happen then but he got booed a lot while he was playing through pain, etc., for the Knicks.  Yes, we&#039;re proud in hindsight, but we treated him like crap when he was here.

(3)  Other than Ewing (and very belatedly, Dick McGuire), the Knicks do not retire any numbers for players unless they won a championship.  You&#039;re telling me Houston or Starks or Oakley doesn&#039;t deserve it as much as Dick Barnett or even Earl Monroe?

Yes, we realize now that we should have been prouder than, but Isiah has more of a point than most would care to admit.</description>

		<description>&quot;Again, you havenâ€™t been proud here since â€˜73. So weâ€™ve got our work cut out and I intend to stick it through and stick it out.&quot; - wow now Isiah is just plain crazy?

All knicks fans were proud of the teams that laid it all out on the floor every night - the knicks of 90&#039;s - the ewing era - for isiah to say some ish like that - i think we need to call up the mailman and have him deliver another elbow to Isiah&#039;s face!</description>

		<description>as a knicks fan my entire life, I&#039;ve gone from not caring about Isiah at all, to rooting for him when he took over the Knicks, to hating this douchebag with all of my heart.

he&#039;s ruining the only positive thing we can take from all this losing, a top-caliber draft pick. 

for what, to save his ass?

now we&#039;re looking at landing another channing frye.  great.

to win three in a row at this time of year, in a 56-loss season, I hope walsh cleans house, and I mean really cleans house, because this is horse manure right here.</description>
