From an interview with the AV Club...
AVC: Are you looking forward to the Knicks in a post-Isiah Thomas era?
WA: Well, I was looking forward to the Isiah Thomas era. [Laughs.] I don't think anything's going to happen. I think they're definitely going to be better. There's no question at this point, because there's been so much pressure on them to be better. I think Isiah came in and tried to make them better, but he was faced with a very, very difficult situation. It's not easy to just come in and take a team and simply make it better, and then the fans get impatient. You know it'll be wild enthusiasm at first, and then as soon as the results don't happen, the fans start to get impatient, and they want to tar and feather you. So he definitely tried. He came in and bought the players that logically would be exciting. As much as the fans got on [point guard Stephon] Marbury, they were thrilled to the nines when he joined the team. Everyone was excited, and I thought Isiah tried, but it was too tough to do, and I think [new coach] Mike D'Antoni is going to try, and I think with time and some sense, they'll gradually get better. But there's a difference between being better and being fun to watch. A workmanlike team that wins games is not necessarily a team that is fun to watch. What I'd like the Knicks to develop into is a team that's fun and that's colorful and that you really like to watch every night, which is the way they were many years ago. It was fun to watch them, because they didn't just pile up wins in unappealing ways.
AVC: Like the [San Antonio] Spurs.
WA: Yeah. I'd really rather be entertained and have them come in second than be bored stiff and see them grind to a first-place finish.

Ironic coming from him, since that's exactly what many people say about his films.
So he would rather his team come on second!! I wouldn't I will take first anytime no matter what kind of game they play. BTW he is VERY BORING like dude said above, infact he puts your brain to sleep.
he'd rather be 2nd than 1st if it cost him to be boring??
haha....idiot
He would rather bone his adopted daughter than anything.
an overrated pathetic comic commenting on sports?
whoopie.
Clearly, you haven't seen Annie Hall, Manhattan, or Crimes and Misdemeanors.
I've seen a couple.
No thanks. Hes another New Yorkite who thinks hes smarter than everyone else.
Once again, no thanks.
In terms of art, literature, and film, he is smarter than most. How's that any different from you regularly telling people on spurstalk that they are dumb and don't know what they're talking about?
I'm sorry but I've never gotten the appeal. I could care less what he thinks about sports. He's en led to his opinion like everyone else.
He is rich enough to attend every game. I'm sure he just likes it for entertainment.
For the average schmo who loves cheering for his team, winning is the ultimate goal.
He's lying.
He's a Knicks fan. Face it, second and exciting would be a H-U-G-E improvement over what they've been for the last decade or so, which is last *and* boring.
Woody Allen is a modern day American genius -- I forgive him of his sins.![]()
Completely.
I don't call everyone dumb. Just the completely obvious ones.
You can't be serious...
In terms of cinema, how the can you argue any different?? The man is a great director. So he doesn't like the Spurs, who the cares? He's still a genius behind the camera.
Oh, yes, Mr. McEnroe I am.
Check out this Newsweek article -- Woody struggles with the void, the meaningless flicker of life and the randomness of all that we call reality.
(This is what being a Knicks fan can do.)

Yeah, Ewing, Charles Smith, Anthony Mason, and Starks were so much more entertaining than Manu & TP.
Woody Allen has some amazing work. Take the Money and Run is one of the funniest things I've ever seen.
He would make a good Sons fan.
