Since this summer, a rumor had been circulating around New York City: Little Sheep Su Xi would join a New York team after finishing his two-year contract.
Basketball fans in the Big Apple City were adamant and utterly convinced.
It even tempered their discontent with their team's current dismal state.
Little Sheep Su Xi was the rookie the Knicks selected with the eighth pick in 2003. Then, two foolish, incompetent executives traded him to Cleveland, and he went on to reach his peak in Indiana.
That glory should have belonged to Madison Garden.
Many New York fans still held a grudge, but no one more so than James Dolan.
"If Little Sheep Su Xi isn't joining the New York Knicks, why would Isaiah Thomas go to the Athens Olympics to be a consultant for the Chinese Team?"
The reasoning provided by the New York media was very compelling.
