I've been a Knicks' fan since Rick Pitino and Mark Jackson joined the team in 1987. I have a degree in Broadcast Journalism from Syracuse University and I formerly wrote a sports fanblog called Take Five focusing on the NBA. I currently write on various topics, but the Knicks are my great love. Don't tell my dog Molly!
