Very nice but I think that Zach needs a heavy dose of tutoring in math

Very interesting and thank you MJM.
Imagine what they would say about us if we had a winning coach, played an exciting brand of bball, were able to consistently recruit 4 star players with a couple of them being local players and had a coach that was fully engaged with fans and students like Coach K ?
Seems to me all our games would be sell outs.

I am not surprised by this. Fans in New York have basketball in our DNA. Many of us who post here played hoops when we were kids. Most people around here have been waiting for a St. John’s turnaround for 25 or 30 years. Any shred of half way decent play has usually been met with support by fans. However, it just hasn’t happened for us in any kind of sustainable way.
Even after all that, Coach MA puts a decent, hard working team on the floor people will be excited.

In my lifetime (I'm 37), the most popular team ever in this town, were the Knicks teams of the 90s. That was an event. Almost every sports fan got behind them, to varying degrees, but they were the hot topic every May in this town.
Having two baseball, and two football teams, negates how much the city can get behind them (as a whole), since there will be people of the other fanbase rooting against them at all times, so they can't capture the city, like those Knicks teams did. Even now you see it. They still sellout every game, despite being lousy for the better part of two decades.
The Rangers have a fanbase that's just as passionate (if not more so), but it's just not large enough to capture the city, when they are good.
