Recently, Red Cafe shared his insights on what exactly it was that was preventing the Knicks from rising to the top. In one word, "toughness", according to the Bad Boy Records' rapper. During the interview, Red takes it back to the days when the Knicks had stars like Ewing, Sprewell, and Starks on the court, but also added how the Knicks have needed true leadership.
"I'm a hometown guy. I'm a neighborhood guy. There were a lot of great years I saw the Knicks do some explosive things. John Starks, Ewing, Sprewell. I liked it. We were tough guys. It was nice to see them match up with guys who had more talent. I just love the Knicks. They break my heart all the time."
He didn't mention the recent tidal wave that has swept the world known as Linsanity.
With Lin's new influence on the team, and a record of 8-2 out of the 10 games in which he has played a major role, who knows, maybe he is the type of leader that Red Cafe was hoping for.
