A lot of people tend to have lofty dreams in New York, too, where careers often blossom into successful ones in any kind of field. Some of the world’s greatest talents tend to flock to the city in hopes of making it big. Of course, the world of basketball is no different when it comes to New York and the player's chances of becoming a huge star under the brightest lights.
Even though New York City basketball has not been as successful as it once was, when people look at the Knicks, there is no argument that there have been a lot of different superstars that have made Knicks basketball prominent and relevant in the world of the NBA.

And in most cases, the lights do not shine brighter than they do in New York, where every opportunity comes with a spotlight and the pressure to deliver and produce is very real.
