Knicks Knacks

Wishing upon a star

January

It will be interesting to see whether Kobe Bryant is upset at the Knicks for not recognizing him last month at MSG when he became the youngest player to reach 20,000 career points.

For the good of the game, it might’ve been worth a mention on the scoreboard.

Isiah Thomas was right yesterday, Bryant needs to walk away with an MVP award. This seems to be a good season to make up for others where he might’ve been overlooked.

There’s nothing like watching a grumpy superstar at work.

Did you see where Thomas finally acknowledged the Knicks don’t have a superstar on the roster? Maybe he is slowly coming to grips with reality. Probably not.

Anyway …

The clock is ticking on Bryant, LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh and Dirk Nowitzki, and the Knicks are working feverishly to finally get under the cap. Thomas is dying to be a player on the open market.

So pretend you can have any one player off that list. Who are you taking? What components already in place do you hang on to?

If Isiah really wanted a star – he should have watched closely how every team listed in your post got their superstar – they drafted them in the lottery.
The fool adamantly believes that you cannot rebuild in NY – and continues to add redundant talent to an overloaded roster.

But in answer to your question – the only 2 legitimate choices are Kobe and LBJ. I think Kobe is the better ‘complete’ player but since James is much younger and still has room to grow – he would be the best bet.
