ESPN Star Faces Backlash For New York Knicks Comment

Many NBA fans took issue with Greenberg's comment.

@TuckFitter3: "Oh so now the Knicks are average? Lmao"

@kawhi_ring: "What a joke"

@Sheridanblog: "What is he talking about? KAT, Bridges, and Onunoby are highly sought-after players."

@FlankenBerry: "Now the Knicks are a very average team when the Pacers are beating them but before hand it was Knicks have so much more talent

Whatever they have to say to feel better about themselves"

@Maverick_SZN: "A 51 win 3 seed is considered average now"

@Courtsidecom: "This is disrespectful to the Knicks supporting cast"

@TheRealEvanHale: "This is an insane take?? Average starting 5? KAT alone makes them not average and then Hart, OG and Mikal are all great to elite role players"

@GratefulBruh: "Oh now they are average lmao. Just give the Pacers credit."

@lukabetter77_: "They have one of the best starting 5’s in the NBA lmao"

The Knicks finished the regular season as the third seed in the Eastern Conference with a 51-31 record.

They beat the Detroit Pistons and Boston Celtics in the first two rounds.

Right now, the Knicks trail the Pacers 3-2 in the Eastern Conference finals with Game 6 on Saturday night in Indiana.
