"Our last two governors had over 60 years of experience between the two of them," Dudley said. "And here we sit with all of these problems. I don't think you need to have a lifetime in politics to be a leader and show leadership."
In 1999 with the Knicks, Dudley made his lone trip to the NBA Finals, and the Knicks lost in five games to the San Antonio Spurs. Yet even on the eve of the primaries, Dudley remembers how that team -- hobbled by injuries and an eighth seed in the East -- overcame the obstacles and naysayers along the way.
"You can't worry about the polls," Dudley said. "It's like a Game 7 of the semifinals and a game where it's do or die. Either you're going on to the next round or you're going home."
