With the lights turned down at Madison Square Garden RJ Barrett stepped into the spotlight at center court and addressed the crowd, punctuating his welcome message to the fans at the Knicks home opener by proclaiming, “I’m proud to be a Knick.” He then drew the loudest ovation of any of the players as the entire roster was introduced.
Three games into Barrett’s career cheering for him seems like as sure of a thing as any for Knicks fans.
