<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Commissioner David Stern predicted yesterday the Knicks will emerge from their laughingstock status next season in year two of the Larry Brown era.
Stern watched his words carefully because, as a Knick fan who grew up in New York, he's often charged with having a pro-Knick bias.
When asked by The Post if he were baffled by their historic 23-59 collapse, Stern said, "I put my Knick fandom behind me when I became commissioner, but I would say that. Larry takes a season or so to let people know how he likes to play.
"My guess is he'll be getting more players that will like to play the same way. My guess is the Knicks will be substantially improved next year. But just as a fan of the whole league, I'm saying it." </div>
