Loaded Celtics are the next big hurdle for Knicks to climb
NY Post
There comes a point in the evolution of a hopeful champion when it should start worrying more about the competition.
If it weren’t for Michael Jordan, for instance, Patrick Ewing, Karl Malone and Charles Barkley would have a ring — or at least a couple more Finals appearances. If it weren’t for the Warriors, James Harden’s Rockets wouldn’t be such a disappointment.
If it weren’t for LeBron James, Tom Thibodeau might still be in Chicago and DeMar DeRozan in Toronto. If it weren’t for Kobe and Shaq, we’re looking differently at the Sacramento Kings.
Which brings us to the present-day Celtics.
Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown have been circling an NBA championship so long you forget they’re only in their mid-20s.
To put that into a local perspective, they’re both younger than Jalen Brunson, Julius Randle and Josh Hart. They’re at roughly the same ages as Steph Curry and LeBron when they won their first titles. Barring wandering eyes or injuries, Tatum and Brown aren’t leaving the Atlantic Division for a while.
