Like I said...you don't watch the games. You don't see the intangibles Fields brings to the team. How he doesn't make turnovers. How he makes his teammates better. How he hustles. How he defends. Etc.
Things that are no necessarily seen in statistics.
Check out Bill Simmons on ESPN. He's an extremely well-traveled and respected journalist that can explain it better than I can; especially in regards to Fields.
Fields is not someone ANY Knick fan will part with. Call us crazy, but...then again, we're the ones actually watching the games.
I'd say it's similar to you and your knowledge of the Heat, but again, you never can tell whether someone is a true Heat fan or not. The only things I see when I watch a Heat game are the empty seats in the stands when Lebron throws his baby powder in the air.
