So you'd have eight really good guys on your roster who can all defend, which would be a single season record for the Knicks. Despite being known as vicious protectors, they seem like pretty good guys. But I know what you wouldn't do: have your house robbed ever again. I don't even know what you'd do with them. Eight hounds that may or may not have lion's blood coursing through their veins. These guys get sold from $900,000-$2 mil, so let's call it about eight. Feels like a much more enjoyable afternoon than watching even the best Knicks game over the last 30 years. A pristine issue of Actions Comics #1 will run you a little more than $3 mil, so you take that $10 mil, grab three issues, head out to Long Island and tell Seinfeld of your plans and now you've quadrupled your investment and probably get to leave in a rare Porsche. But for $10 mil you could threaten to burn these rare pieces of art right in front of Jerry Seinfeld and have him pay upwards of $50 mil to get you to stop. Three Copies Of The Original Issue Of Supermanĭoes Spike Lee care about Superman? Probably not. Probably could have had it for $5 mil back in the '80s and not had his heart ripped out by Reggie Miller. $10 mil, purchased with the click of a button. No, an island with homes and plumbing and other modern conveniences. So I'm not even talking like some CASTAWAY island where it's just one palm tree and a volleyball you can fuck. So, with the last 30 years in mind, here are a few things Spike Lee could have purchased for $10 million that wouldn't have forced him to ever speak to James Dolan in the face.Īccording to, which is maybe the most baller website I've ever seen in my goddamn life, Spike could have scooped up Young Island Resort in St. But the point I'm trying to get at: while I cannot fault Spike for buying Knicks stock when the NBA rigged the lottery for Patrick Ewing to go to New York, I can absolutely fault him for staying on the Titanic long after that ship sunk. The Knicks have very technically been a basketball team over the entirety of those 15 years, though many scholars would argue against it. The Sonics haven't won a playoff game in 15 years, which has more to do with them not being a team any more than anything. And when Ewing went away, the Knicks did too.Īs a reminder, the Knicks have won less playoff games (7) since the 2001-2002 season than the Seattle Supersonics (8). Then Duncan sided with the Jordan, Hakeem and Shaq line of thinking and figured he'd give beating the Knicks a whirl. When he stepped away for two years, Hakeem and Shaq decided to simply be better at basketball than Ewing. Michael Jordan did, in fact, become Michael Jordan. Despite all the forces trying to pull the Knicks out of the gutter, they never won anything. Especially since, yanno, the NBA was actively trying to make the Knicks a thing. Ewing was that dude coming out of Georgetown, Michael Jordan wasn't *Michael Jordan* yet and there was plenty of reason to think the Knicks just became the *it* franchise in the NBA.
