Unless you’re one of the lucky few Knicks season ticket holders invited to last night’s Subscriber Forum, you missed out on some quality shenanigans. Thankfully, LoHud Knicks fan Paul Lee submitted this first hand account of what went down: Last night, the Knicks held their annual Season Subscriber Forum at… Read More →
Earlier this morning, the great Will Askew and his fine co-host Peter Edmiston were kind enough to invite me on their show, The Morning Rush, on Memphis’ AM 560/Sports56. We talked about the Knicks, Jeremy Lin (shocker), Carmelo Anthony, and Amar’e Stoudemire’s explosiveness (or lack thereof), among other things. Won’t you… Read More →
As if the expectations couldn’t possibly have been any higher, the New York Knicks (17-18) now enter the second half of the season with an improbably deep roster that is under inordinate pressure to deliver. Technically, the 2011-’12 campaign’s mid-point occurred two games ago (Thanks, lockout!), but if we’re going to… Read More →
Ok, fine. Maybe Jimmy Fallon is a little bit better at this than I am…
Dear Jeremy, Ok, so you forgot to take your talents to South Beach last night, and therefore the Knicks never really stood a chance in the game, but let’s keep things in perspective, shall we? This was merely one of eleven career starts for you—ironically, you were just 1-for-11 against… Read More →
Every so often, a real “Lin-Lin” situation presents itself, and SeatGeek and Breadpig are giving Knick fans the chance to both make a difference in the community and witness firsthand the global phenomenon which is “LINSANITY.” All you need to do is head over to DonorsChoose.org and donate as little as… Read More →
Once upon a time there was a freakishly gifted NBA forward who lit up arenas on a nightly basis. His violent, thunderous dunks made opposing defenders appear as if they were moving in slow motion. His sculpted body was a scout’s dream. Showered with accolades, record-breaking contracts and lucrative endorsement… Read More →
I’m just wrapping up my final snowboarding trip of this winter, so please enjoy the wonderful post-game musings of Mr. Robert Silverman, he of Knickerblogger-fame. If Bob is too funny for you, and you’d prefer something off the beaten trail, Seth Rosenthal also crushes it (he usually does). Barring an… Read More →
In “fairness” to ESPN, they did apologize: Last night, ESPN.com’s mobile web site posted an offensive headline referencing Jeremy Lin at 2:30 am ET. The headline was removed at 3:05 am ET. We are conducting a complete review of our cross-platform editorial procedures and are determining appropriate disciplinary action to… Read More →
Some of y’all know me as a securities lawyer (by day, anyway), so naturally, I found this piece by George Liu over at The Motley Fool Blog Network to be quite Linteresting: The Overview It’s not everyday that the athletic prowess of a single person propels an entire company’s shares… Read More →
Lady O’Grady treated me to a fine meal, some fine company and the best card ever, so the following (uninfluenced by Twitter, telinvision or phone) was tape-delayed and live-tweeted: Wow, STAT looks active. But, oh, STAT looks awkward. I like Lin talking to STAT on the court and I like… Read More →
The New York Knicks have announced that Jeremy Lin’s jersey that was worn during the team’s victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on Feb. 10 is being auctioned off to benefit the Garden of Dreams Foundation, a nonprofit organization making dreams come true for children facing obstacles. Lin posted a… Read More →
Appearing on WFAN New York today with Mike Francesa, Mike D’Antoni was typically honest in his comments on the impending returns of Amar’e Stoudemire and Carmelo Anthony: There is no reason why Amar’e and ‘Melo can’t both flourish in this system. We all need to do some soul searching if… Read More →
Somewhat lost amidst the recent “Linsanity” is the very real possibility that the New York Knicks are a ticking time bomb just waiting to explode. The ingredients are there: 1) an oft-maligned and occasionally sensitive superstar; 2) a former malcontent All-Star who was promised a starting gig; 3) a coach… Read More →
This is a pretty neat fan-made Jeremy Lin concept commercial. Thank you to Patrick Lee of Japan for sharing his fine work.
