The New York Knicks have made headlines with one of the biggest offseason moves by acquiring Karl-Anthony Towns from the Minnesota Timberwolves. Towns’ arrival has energized Knicks fans, as they now look forward to a potential starting lineup featuring Mikal Bridges, Josh Hart, Jalen Brunson, OG Anunoby, and KAT.
However, not everyone is optimistic about the Knicks’ championship prospects. Former NBA star Paul Pierce recently shared his doubts during an appearance on All The Smoke Productions. Pierce emphatically stated that he doesn’t believe the Knicks will ever win an NBA championship in his lifetime
“I don’t believe the Knicks will win a championship in my lifetime. I don’t think in my lifetime. I’m just saying they will, but I won’t be around to see it,” Pierce said.
The Knicks haven’t won an NBA title since 1973, and last season, they finished with a strong 50-32 record, placing second in the NBA Eastern Conference.
With the addition of Towns, many fans are optimistic that the team could finally break its long championship drought. Hence, they aren’t satisfied with Pierce’s take.

“People are telling me how much they love me being a Knick and how much the team needs me. Telling me never to go anywhere. To be a Knick forever,” Randle said.
