The New York Knicks will try to get the sixth victory of the season this Friday at the home of the Milwaukee Bucks. This duel will serve to test the strength of the group, although for some players on the New York squad it will have added value.
Julius Randle, the team’s main star, faces the game with great motivation. The All-Star not only sees the Bucks as one of the best teams in the NBA, but also a role model to emulate on the road to success. The Wisconsin franchise reached the top last year after a long odyssey punctuated by various disappointments and a bid for continuity.
“I still remember watching the Finals and I get the creeps,” Randle admitted in an interview for The Athletic. “It was beautiful to see it simply for the fact that it was built from scratch. They didn’t make a super team or anything like that. Those guys were in the mud every day polishing things up. And they had to overcome some obstacles along the way. “
While the Knicks lack a superstar of the caliber of Giannis Antetokounmpo, Randle likes the idea of building a winning project from the ground up, which will result in more rewarding breakthroughs. “They did something that is very unique, especially in today’s league,” Interior continued. “They built the team without having to put together several stars.”
For now, the Knicks seem to follow the same path after having maintained the backbone of the team and betting on continuity. Among others, that of Randle himself, who closed a renovation in August for four years and 117 million dollars. A month and a half ago, in addition, he shared his main objective in The Big Apple: “I signed five years to win a ring.”
