"It is my absolute joy to announce the new owners of the New York Knickerbockers Walt Fraizer and Bernard King!" The voice of NBA commissioner Adam Silver's voice broke as he made the announcement to the roaring ovation of an absolutely packed Madison Square Garden. The Mecca was ravenous they needed something to root for after a long summer of sadness.

"Hello New York!" Clyde the glyde's voice was as distinctive as the suit he was wearing a blue and orange paisley number that somewhat resembled the Knicks color scheme.

"I have loved the Knicks my whole life. It was my pleasure to play for this franchise and bring it two world championships during my time here as a player. I have been honored to call Knick games for several years now and am thrilled to take on the mantle of owner replacing our old friend Jimmy Dolan God rest his soul."

The crowd loved it. Clyde was their hero he was a Knicks legend and now he was going to bring back those good times they could feel it.

Bernard King stepped up beside the glyde wearing a much more modern and subdued clean black suit smiled at the crowd. He too was a legend even though he had never captured a championship he had epitomized New York basketball in the eighties and was just the kind of icon fans in New York could get behind.

"How bout those Knicks!" The crowd lost their minds.

"New York we are thrilled, and humbled to be standing in front of you today. We want to take a moment to remember the reason why we are here and say a prayer for the people our Knick family said good bye to a few months ago."

You could hear a pin drop in the arena at that and as Clyde and King bowed their heads the hush was total in the building.

After a long long moment of silence Bernard raised his head and looked out on the crowd.

"New York we are going to bring you a winner. Not this year, probably not next year. These things take time. But we are going to be a championship caliber organization and that begins with a championship caliber head coach. I want to introduce that man to you now. Though you probably already know him. Please help us welcome your New York Knicks head coach Mark Jackson!" If the crowd was going wild before now they absolutely came unhinged as Mark Jackson came trotting from out of the tunnel as he had for so many years in the eighties.

The three men represented the future of the New York Knicks. They would make or break basketball in New York City if they succeeded in bringing the knicks back from the dead it may be that New York could regain its status as the Mecca of basketball. If they failed? Perhaps the city only deserved one basketball team. Perhaps the Knicks should have ended in that plane crash in April.

The answer to that question and many more will come in October when 5 players wearing Knicks Blue and orange take the court in the Garden.
