Rapper Jadakiss Chats About NBA Finals, Carmelo Anthony, Hip Hop and More 2011 NBA Finals, Interviews, NBA, NBA Atlantic, New York, New York Knicks, Opinion | Comments Off
Over more than two decades in the music industry, rapper Jadakiss has gone from one of Yonkers’ best-kept secrets to one of the rap game’s best freestylers and well-known collaborators.

It's been almost a year since Chris Bosh, LeBron James, and Dwayne Wade decided to join together and play for the Miami Heat, creating a Big Three.

2011 NBA Champion Brian Cardinal: The New York Knick That Never Was 2011 NBA Finals, Brian Cardinal, New York Knicks, Opinion | Comments Off

But the first round matchup between the New York Knicks and the Boston Celtics will be far from the whitewash many would have predicted just weeks ago.

If seven straight wins wasn’t enough for the league to take notice, the return of a ...
