Neil Armstrong extended an invite to his place to catch last night’s Knicks-Kings game, seeing as we both share our love for the blue and orange and there’s now an aura of optimism for our team, evident in people congregating just to see them play. Obviously, the emergence of Jeremy Lin has invigorated our fanaticism Read the rest of this entry »

In the feverish midst of Lin-sanity, New York MC Troy Ave. has assembled a formidable NYC posse cut in the form of “Home T.E.A.M.,” off his upcoming Bricks In My Backpack 3: The Harry Powder Trilogy. Reaching out to Action Bronson, Mr. Muthafuckin’ eXquire, Maffew Ragazino and Avon Blocksdale, the five-piece concocts a potent boom-bap anthem for their East Coast home.

Legitimacy. Validation. Whatever you want to call it, Jeremy Lin led the New York Knicks to victory last night against Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers. Bryant said he heard of Jeremy Lin but didn’t know about his game. Unfortunately for him, he found out firsthand what “Linsanity” was all about. Read the rest of this entry »

I didn’t want to believe in Jeremy Lin at first. Dude burst onto the scene with a miracle game – after being cut by the Warriors and Rockets earlier this season, he dropped 25 points and 7 assists for the Knicks against the New Jersey Nets on Saturday night. Read the rest of this entry »

“When I went to sleep the other day, they were losing to Miami. Woke up, and they were losing to Boston.”

There’s been “sh*t (insert type of people) say” videos floating around the Internet for weeks now. And right when the trend appeared to be nearing its expiration date, sketch comedian Eric Rosado gives it one last jolt of life with “Sh*t Knicks Fans Say.” Read the rest of this entry »

Just another night in South Beach as the Heat pounced on the Knicks, winning by a final score of 99-89. LeBron James finished with 31 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists while D. Wade pitched in 28 points in his first game back from a sprained right ankle. Read the rest of this entry »

New York’s Knickerbockers have plenty to smile about these days. Tyson Chandler’s on deck to enforce inside which, on paper, should energize NY’s defensive efforts all around. The club’s a point guard, and a head coach depending on who you ask, away from being a league wide problem. However, as any sports fans know, things weren’t always so promising at the Garden.

This is not an optical illusion folks.

UNC alum Tyler Hansbrough went from being a top college player to yesterday’s news as soon as he donned a Pacers uni. Things didn’t look well for Larry Bird’s golden boy with his underwhelming play throughout his rookie and much of his sophomore year. Read the rest of this entry »

Jordan Brand:

“New York has been buzzing since Carmelo Anthony came to town. As Melo’s return to NY was a homecoming of sorts, we thought it was only fitting to come out with some new gear to commemorate the city’s excitement about his arrival. Read the rest of this entry »

Swish. Man, it was good to see Carmelo Anthony’s 19-footer fall sweetly through the net with 0.5 seconds left on the clock last night. Before Melo’s heroics, the game looked like a typical Knick collapse from days of yore. Up 10 with just over three minutes to go, the Knicks managed to let their lead dwindle away Read the rest of this entry »

Until Paid In Full is properly recognized for the classic film it is, the Oscars will never really pique my interest. Sports provide more than enough drama anyway. The NBA, night and night out, has its far share. There was Carmelo-gate. Then came the trade deadline frenzy. Between those two, we had the “superstar team” debate and whether it was good for the league or not. And keep in mind this was all within the past month. Read the rest of this entry »

Last night, around 11 p.m., Carmelo Anthony was finally traded to the New York Knicks. It took several months of dizzying rumors, involved almost half the teams in the league and allowed Isiah Thomas to worm his way back into James Dolan’s ear, but it’s finally done. Read the rest of this entry »

This is for the city of New York. This is for those who love the word “contraction” and hate those unfamiliar with its meaning. This is for all those who still have a bitter taste in their mouth because of “The Decision.” This is for those who simply do not like LeBron James. This is for those who despise Phil Knight, Nike and myself for having a vice grip on the Jordan Crawford footage from last summer. But more importantly, this is for the people of Cleveland.

Remember when Boise St. was supposed to sneak into the national championship game and overthrow the bowl establishment, breaking through the glass ceiling and restoring our faith in the human spirit. That magical dream season came to a screeching halt when two field goal kicks sailed outside of the uprights, ending Boise’s chances at a national championship. America wept.

But heartbreak and sports go together like Kevin Garnett and cancer jokes. Read the rest of this entry »

“What’s going on with your dude LeBron?”

“Damn, Bron just gonna let Rudy Gay do that to him?”

Those were the G-rated messages which filled my phone Saturday night while at a bar in College Park, Maryland with some friends. I was a tad bit inebriated and had no clue what they were talking about until deciding to pay attention to SportsCenter. Read the rest of this entry »
