New Yorkers are always lamenting the Knicks’ lack of a great point guard, bemoaning the franchise’s inability to find an orchestrator worthy of their high basketball standards.
I’ll never forget the one game I went to at Madison Square Garden when a couple of guys who clearly don’t watch a ton of Knicks basketball, but enjoy sports, bitched about how much Tim Thomas loves to shoot. I know Thomas wasn’t a point guard. It’s just the fact that they immediately, and correctly, labeled him a chucker.
That’s why it’s hysterical that Leon Rose and the Knicks just gave Jalen Brunson $104 million to bring in his skill set that’s so crafty that it disappears for stretches of playoff games. Those fans are so used to frauds that they can spot one within 20 minutes of action. That said, I challenge them to find a fault in Sabrina Ionescu’s abilities.
Only one real transcendent point guard is playing in New York right now, and if she keeps ho0ping like this, her seafoam green No. 20 is going to become as synonymous with New York as LT’s No. 56 or Jeter’s No. 2. I wouldn’t be shocked if the knee-high socks catch on either. (Sorry, Kyrie, but your walking stick made more appearances than your handle last year, so you don’t qualify as a New York point guard. Also, she has already recorded more on-court appearances at Barclays in 21 games than you managed over 86 contests.)

Her 31-13-10 line also was historic as she became the first WNBA player ever to have a 30-point triple-double. And it wasn’t a Russell Westbrook usage fest either. She made seven of eight 3s, didn’t turn the ball over, and finished above 75 percent from the field.
