Melon was brought to NYC for one reason and one reason only, and was not to score points and collect a paycheck. Your comment about the Knocks and expectations is as rediculoud as thinking that the Mete and Jets do not have THzr expectation to win the championship each and every year in New York

Everyone WANTS to win a championship...

but the Mets, Jets, and Knicks simply aren't franchises that have a storied history of dominating a sport and put the pressure on players and coaches to win one or move on.

Kentucky Basketball - If you don't compete for titles you're out
NY Yankees - If you don't compete for titles you're out
LA Lakers - If you don't compete for titles you're out
NE Patriots - If you don't compete for titles you're out

The Mets, Jets, and Knicks aren't on that level in my opinion.
The desire to win a championship is always there for those teams...
but the expectation that they WILL win it is not.
Their administration and players may think so...
but the Knicks haven't been a legit title contender since Ewing left town.
