Knicks fans are doing crazy things in the hopes of landing Zion Williamson

Everyone is pretty sure who the number one pick in June's NBA draft will be. What we're not sure of his where Zion Williamson will play.

Fans really, really want Williamson on their team. But no one seems to want him more than long-suffering Knicks fans, who always seem to be in a state of crisis went it comes to their moribund, but once proud franchise.
