Typical ESPN pandering to New York and not knowing anything. All in one clip!

This morning on SportsCenter, the crew analyzed the first two picks, then for some strange reason, they jumped to #6 and analyzed the Knicks pick.

Okay, so they had a good reason to talk Knicks. As Stu Scott said, “Since we’re in New York, we’ve got to talk about the New York-area teams.”

Yeah, no one cares that you’re in New York, but everyone hates the Knicks, and they suck anyway, so you have no reason to talk about them.

So then Jeff Van Gundy is asked to analyze the pick, Danilo Gallinari or something, and he must be thinking the same thing I’m thinking because he has no idea who the hell D-Gal is, so he had to quote other people who were affiliated with the Knicks when he analyzed the pick. He was basically reading off a press release.

He said:

I’m not as comfortable saying what type of player he is, because I haven’t watched him a whole lot, Stu. If he plays like Fran Prischella [sic] says he does, which is ‘tough, hard, high basketball IQ,’ the New York fan is attracted to all those qualities. This guy, if he’s ‘multidimenstional,’ as Donnie Walsh said, put it deep, put it on the floor, in traffic, he’ll fit in.

Frankly, I think he’d fit in better if he was selfish and sucked. But, I will say that if he’s a great player who can score lots of baskets, he’ll be a good pick.
