Rumor has it that the Knicks have a deal worth between $4-5 million on the table. They are also thought to have more playing time to offer Brown.
Hmm…let’s see…be the 9th man on a team going for a Three-Peat© or the possible 8th man on maybe the 6th best team(at best) in the East….?
WWSBD?
You think CP3 and Mike D’Antoni are working on their secret Knicks handshake? Picture this: Madison Square Garden with Amar’e Stoudemire, Chris Paul, and (wishful thinking) Carmelo Anthony in the starting lineup. Somewhere Alicia Keys is preparing to write a new song.
Sidenote: rather ironic that in “Empire State of Mind” Jay-Z name drops both LeBron and Wade…
It’s official. Isiah has photos of Knicks ownership committing multiple felonies. There’s no other way to explain this, right?
It’s being reported that “sources” are saying N.Y. has signed itself a point guard in former Bobcat Ray Felton.
This pick-up means the Knicks end the week with new starters in Amar’e Stoudemire & Felton, as well as a possible starter—depending on how they configure their frontcourt—in Anthony Randolph. They also acquired a couple of solid bench pieces in Ronny Turiaf & Kelenna Azubuike.
Not quite the makings of a championship team just yet, but the Knickerbockers at least are assembling talented pieces. If they could ever pull off the coup of getting Carmelo Anthony, they could become a legitimate playoff team year in and year out.
Courtside with Tracy Morgan
Spike Lee’s next movie needs to be 90 minutes of Tracy Morgan sideline at a Knicks game called Tracy Doin’ Work. I would watch a trilogy of that.
ED NOTE: this is how courtside fans should be like…unless you’re Jack Nicholson you don’t get a pass for wearing sunglasses at a basketball game *cough* Adrien Brody *cough* Zac Efron
Jamario Moon is either celebrating a successful three-point shot or he’s crushing Tracy McGrady’s head.

Bill Walker draws a charge against Leon Powe, a dangerous play since these two guys have about half a knee’s worth of cartilage left, combined. This game is enough of a blowout already, fellas - let’s not blow out any knees along the way.

Poster for the upcoming documentary from ESPN film’s 30 for 30 series Winning Time: Reggie Miller vs. The New York Knicks.
From director Dan Klores:
Reggie Miller gave New York the finger. The whole city.
The 6’7” wiry shooting guard of the Indiana Pacers tortured the Knicks. If he didn’t beat Riley, Ewing, Oakley and Starks with his quick release and unlimited range, he made them think he would. He took pleasure in letting the packed Madison Square Garden know it was his show and his game that they were watching during the 1994-1995 playoffs.
Winning Time: Reggie Miller vs. The New York Knicks, by award-winning filmmaker Dan Klores, will zero in on the dramatic seven game 1995 playoff series between Reggie’s Pacers and the Knicks. The series was front page news in the NYC tabloids, a war of words between the glib Miller and Knick fanatic Spike Lee, included appearances on Letterman, pronouncements by Giuliani, fistfights between teammates, near riots by Indiana fans, chokes, overtimes, finger rolls and bitterness not only between Hall of Fame coaches, Pat Riley and Larry Brown, but between the two most precious basketball cultures in America - Hoosier Land vs. “New Yawk”.
The film will screen at the Sundance Film Festival in January and gets its TV debut on ESPN March 14th at 9PM.

Isaac Davis (from the film Manhattan):
Why is life worth living? It’s a very good question. Um… Well, There are certain things I guess that make it worthwhile. uh… Like what… okay… um… For me, uh… ooh… I would say… what, Groucho Marx, to name one thing… uh… um… and Wilie Mays… and um… the 2nd movement of the Jupiter Symphony… and um… Louis Armstrong, recording of Potato Head Blues… um… Swedish movies, naturally… Sentimental Education by Flaubert… uh… Marlon Brando, Frank Sinatra… um… those incredible Apples and Pears by Cezanne… uh… the crabs at Sam Wo’s… uh… Tracy’s face…
I believe Woody left out the New York Knicks in that list for a reason…
This is genius.
Apparently Knicks games are so bad fans are more entertained by a lost fan than the actual game. Leave it to improv theatre actors to get Knicks fans off their seats and chanting, if not even for their own team. This Rob guy’s probably generated more fan reaction than Darko Milicic and does it without even touching a basketball. Oh wait a minute, I guess he and Darko at least have that in common.
Rosie Perez, Mark Wahlberg, Will Ferrell, and Brooke Shields….is there some throwback NY buddy cop movie that’s in the works that I didn’t know about?
