The Knicks have proven with real examples that victory can indeed become a habit.
Constantly winning can become a duty, an expectation, and finally an attitude, an attitude that pursues perfect results.
The media predicted the Knicks would decline after their honeymoon period, but it didn't happen.
The media predicted that other teams, after figuring out the Knicks, would start making them lose, but that didn't happen either.
The more they win, the more exhilarating it becomes, the more passionate they play. Their chemistry and locker room relationships are as smooth as silk, seamlessly blending together like water.
An eight-game winning streak plus a nine-game winning streak has almost made the Knicks dominate the East.
And this formidable Eastern Conference leader, proudly called the "strongest Knicks in history" by Spike Lee, is the opponent Roger has been waiting for.
The opponent he now most desires to defeat.
