I get you being concerned about how fans treat their players, and in a vacuum I agree, I think sports fans can sometimes be too cruel towards even their favorite players and teams.

But the thing is NYC is special - Knicks fans have cultivated over decades a culture of wanting our players trying their hardest and playing well even in our lottery seasons. We wear our pride on our sleeves. So when Randle does something like shrug his shoulders and slowly walk in the last minute of a close game, of course we’re gonna be upset. Cause we wanna see them succeed. You call it negative and toxic, we call it unbridled passion.

Those who get it, get it. Of course you wouldn’t though, being soft as shit
