Baron Davis looks across the practice gym and then up, at the championship banners that hang in the Knicks’ facility in Greenburgh. I ask him if he realizes that the franchise has not won a championship since ... and he doesn’t let me finish the sentence. “Since 1972-73,” Davis says. “I come in here every day and I look at that.” And when you look at it, what do you think? “I see a banner ... right in the middle between those two,” he says. To the left of the 1972-73 championship banner sits the 1969-70 championship banner. And the banner in the middle says?
“2011-12 New York Knicks"
This isn’t about what the Knicks are now, a .500 team at 18-18. It is about what Davis believes the Knicks can become. A giant leap of faith when you consider cks,” Davis says.the year-and-a-half headstart advantage the Heat have over these Knicks. “The Heat have an advantage. The Bulls have an advantage. The Orlando Magic have an advantage. ... But I am optimistic, and I believe in what we have here in New York City,” Davis says. “And I believe in what we have here for the New York Knicks. ... We’re gonna get better.
“We can do it. We can do it.
“And I think that we’ll come out of nowhere, and we’ll do it.”
