Apparently, the possibility of LeBron James signing for your team is recession-proof. How do I know? According to Darren Rovell of CNBC, the Knicks have already sold 1,800 season tickets for next year in record time.
In just a couple of weeks, the New York Knicks have taken deposits on 1,800 new season tickets.
For those keeping score at home, that's the fastest the team has sold this many new season tickets in its storied history.
In the words of MSG sports president Scott O'Neil, the Knicks' sales team is "on fire," which immediately puts an image of Marv Albert announcing sales calls in my head. O'Neil, for two ticket renewals at once ... YES! He's on fire!
In all seriousness, this proves that hope is a powerful tool in keeping floundering sports franchises alive. Something tells me those 1,800 fans aren't paying to see Danilo Gallinari and Wilson Chandler.
