“The Knicks’ Julius Randle joined Chris Haynes and me on our #thisleague UNCUT podcast which dropped Monday.
Here’s a sample from Randle when I asked him if he agrees with the oft-cited sentiment that he’s never looked more comfortable as a Knick than he does in Year 5 at Madison Square Garden:
“Yeah, accurate. Very accurate. Like I said, you guys asked me earlier, can you be prepared for [New York] or you got to go through it? And I feel like for me, like I said, I had to go through it. … Every year I just get more comfortable. It’s almost like the city’s kind of made me, like, bulletproof in a sense, to where it’s like I don’t feel any type of criticism. … I would definitely say I’m more comfortable than I ever have been. I even felt that, like, I think this summer. I lived in the city for the first time and I’m just like, man, this feels like home”

Good. All he does is help. Keep on ballin Jules.
I am glad he got comfortable in the paint, hope he stays there because he is an unstoppable force in the paint

We got ourselves a New Yorker
So he moved his family from their Connecticut home to his apartment in the city?? That’s crazy
Need him to win a championship here
Sweet Jesus. He’s getting traded, isn’t he?
Not giving a fuck what other people say. Congratulations Julius you graduated from transplant school to full blown NYer. Now to complete the ceremony you must walk out into traffic and yell IM WALKING HERE?
I shit on him and will continue to shit on some of his basketball but I commend him for embracing how awful we are as fans.
If you win here, you become golden in a way that can not be mimicked anywhere on earth. That’s the trade off with nyc sports.
