“Chris Duhon, the starting point guard, feels playing the role of a captain is part of his Knicks New York Knicks destiny, calling himself the team’s “general.” It is likely Duhon will be named a captain soon after the season begins, even though he’s newest to the club.
“I think that’s the job of the point guard,” Duhon told The Post. “The point guard is the coach on the floor, the quarterback. You put everybody in their right position, understanding what the coaches want. Whether labeled captain or not, when we’re on the court, that’s my team.”
