The love from the fans and media for last season’s Knicks lived strong and is dying hard. They overachieved. They outrebounded. They were, in many ways, the embodiment of that glorified ’90s Knicks identity.

"If you continue to look back and compare yourself to years prior and teams prior, you lose the perspective of what you have," the New York Knicks guard said ahead of Sunday's game against the Detroit Pistons, per Stefan Bondy of the New York Post .

"We'll go to compare ourselves from last year, for what?"Since they boosted their win total by only one and lost ground on the Eastern Conference playoff bracket (second to third), some have unfavorably compared this year's Knicks team to the last.
