Applaud this man. Fanhood clouds the judgement too much, especially with us NYK fans. Laker fans too but at least they've won recently enough.
Ewing? Son are you on that sauce right now? Ewing was there a decade before Dolan showed up. So it's the other way around when it comes to sucking up. PPL need to face reality with Ewing being traded. The Knicks were trying to get better they weren't just shipping a legend just to do it. Ewing was on his last legs, he had bad knees. Yes it's messed up he didn't retire with the Knicks but you acting like he put in 5 more solid years after retiring.
Spreewell. He ruined his own career. I mean look where he is now. At least time to time ppl ask where Iverson is. NOBODY asks about Sprewell.
Only thing that matters , We should be happy we got Brewer for the vet minEwing? Son are you on that sauce right now? Ewing was there a decade before Dolan showed up.

Lin looks like a suck up to me, just seems he made a wrong move with his agent by not agreeing to the est off bat instead of that last minute ****.
As far as this Chris Smith signing, what is he, 15th guy on contract now? Yall need to look at the team and realize there aint nobody else out there that we would've got that would've made a difference at this point. Our team is set. Nobody of value was coming here for w/e lil we had left to offer.

. 2 years for 1.3 million.. THAT'S NOTHING. he's gnna just be seeing garbage time and if he manages to develop into a good defensive player why not. Yall need to chill realtalk. Yall acting like we were gnna sign a all star with that leftover money. For us to sign some old ************ I much rather give that money to Chris Smith. Maybe he works hard with JR and gets a jumper going relax.
So why the **** won't you give Chris Smith a chance? Lin only got claimed cuz of our pg worries. Smith gets signed cuz you feel his brother who took less money again to sign here or out of loyalty wanted it. Does that not mean Smith can't "blow up"
Lin just seems like a suck up to me. Not cuz he's Asian but cuz of how he carries himself. I'd say the same thing if he was white
Again I'm not buying in to this miracle season ********. It was fine while it lasted but it's over and those things rarely do last. There's reasons underdog movies don't have sequels. I mean seriously how do you know Chris Smith won't be the guy to make a difference on this team? I mean seriously who did you want the Knicks to sign to fill out their roster? Where were you complaining when Smith was on our summer league team? Shouldn't you have seen this coming? Is Dolan still not the owner?
Wouldn't be the first time a decision like that was made by a business.
That's all it was though. Some lulz.
Anybody notice how our MSG broadcaster has side gigs? Not just any ordinary side gigs, but these are some major side gigs.
Mike Breen- ABC NBA Finals and Nationally televised games.
Al Trautwig- NBC Olympic coverage. He's been covering the olympics for as long as I can remember
all about the money
AMAR'E STOUDEMIRE FAVORITE MISTAKE
Providing for my mother was one of the main reasons I jumped from high school to the NBA. My father passed away when I was 12, so my mother was pretty much on her own raising us and trying to make ends meet. Since she was in and out of jail for various things, I had to make some big decisions as a youth, which included going to six different high schools. My family didn’t have any money, and when some schools promised to provide meals for me and it didn’t happen, I was forced to transfer. Because of all the transferring, I missed my junior year of high school, and since I started playing organized basketball at age 14—I was concentrating on football before then—I played for only about three and a half years before going pro.
My favorite mistake was going to the NBA straight out of high school. It’s my favorite because I was able to accomplish my dream, but I very much wanted to go to college and pursue an education.
I’d committed to the University of Memphis out of high school and was collaborating with two other NBA prospects, Dajuan Wagner and Qyntel Woods—who had also both committed to Memphis—to team up there and win a national championship together. But I believed I was ready for the NBA. I had trained very hard and was one of the top players in the country, ranking alongside my Knicks teammates Carmelo Anthony and Raymond Felton. I ended up being drafted by the Phoenix Suns in 2002.
Despite missing out on college, I’ve taken summer courses at Arizona State University and the University of Miami, and my favorite course was human geography. I love history. I think it’s important for us to know the history of our origins. I’m Hebrew through my mother’s side, so I was able to research the culture of the ancient Hebrews. Visiting Israel was an amazing experience where I learned about the history of the Hebrews and the 12 tribes of Jacob and how, even though we’re different ethnic groups, we’re all related as brothers and sisters. It gave me a lot of peace.
I want to get my college degree; it will just have to happen down the road because I can only take summer courses or online classes. By skipping college, I also missed out on the opportunity to be young and free. In the NBA you jump to being an adult quickly because there are professional responsibilities to uphold.
