Bernard King Wants LeBron and Wade in New York

Filed under: Knicks

Bernard King grew up in New York City. He starred there, too, winning the NBA scoring title with the Knicks in 1985. As much as anyone, he knows what the bright lights of Broadway and the mystique of storied Madison Square Garden can do to illuminate even the biggest names in the game.



He knows what the city could do for LeBron James and Dwyane Wade.



"As big of stars as those guys are now, it would be even more magnified if they went there. You become a household name to everyone if you play in New York City,'' said King, whose 14-year NBA career was highlighted by the four seasons he played for the Knicks. "It's a magical place that goes well beyond basketball. You're up there with legends like Ali and Sinatra. The Garden is like a magnet to the world. It's why I think the Knicks have a good shot to get LeBron, and a shot at Wade, too.''
