Could Soccer Save The Knicks?

Maybe.

If Kobe says soccer helped him to “see the game unfold in a different light” and Steve Nash is known to spend most of the off-season competing in soccer rec leagues then there’s no real reason that Knicks like Jamal Crawford and Nate Robinson, amongst others, couldn’t benefit from learning to play the beautiful game. New Knicks coach Mike D’Antoni may not be a “big soccer guy” but the fact is his Knicks need all the help they can get.

So how’s about it, Coach? Let’s get your boys on a side in one of NYC’s many soccer rec leagues. Certainly, few teams in the NBA need to learn how to read a game and “let the ball do the work” for them as much as the Knicks.

I’m even willing to captain the side and suit and up play keeper behind this notoriously defensively disinterested group.
