The Knick' s have been down this path before.  A "legendary" city player that has a street rep that some fans want to see in orange and blue.  Only this time they listen to reason and fought the urge to redo the Stephon Marbury disaster.  The Knicks passed on Brooklyn legend and Univ. of Cincinnati Freshman Lance Stephenson.  Many colleges passed on the "one-and-done" Stephenson who showed talent but lives on potential.  Having been selected by the Knick's would have led both Stephenson and the Knick's down a path that would have ended poorly for each.  There is too much history and pressure on NYC high school legends to succeed at home.  And in the age that basketball now is, having his entourage with him is just too distracting from someone that needs to still learn the game.  Indiana is the right place for Stephenson, and should he develop, can always look 3 years from now to signing as a free agent with his hometown team.
