Oziyah Sellers saw the same qualities — grit, a refusal to lose and daily fight — in the Knicks during their run to their first championship in 53 years as he did in his one season at St. John’s.
And he is thrilled to be part of the franchise for those reasons.
“Coming from St. John’s, I feel like we had that same mentality. We wanted to win really bad,” Sellers said. “It wasn’t too hard of a transition mindset-wise. Two kinds of similar programs in terms of mindset. It’s definitely something you have to bring every day.
“Obviously, being at St. John’s we play pretty much all our home games at the Garden. So I feel like we have a lot of the same fanbase. Knicks fans, a lot of them are St. John’s fans. It’s kind of like a perfect fit, transitioning right to the Knicks. I’m just grateful for it, for sure.”
