NBA Free Agents 2011: Why Allen Iverson Is the Key to a New York Knicks Title Allen Iverson, Amare Stoudemire, Basketball, Carmelo Anthony, Chauncey Billups, NBA, NBA Atlantic, NBA Free Agency 2011, New York Knicks, Opinion, Tyson Chandler | Comments Off
I'm sure just based on this article's title you're already in a fit of laughter, but hear me out. I have a good point to make.Here is my point: Allen Iverson is the key to the New York Knicks winning the 2011-12 NBA Championship, and here is why.Adding Tyson Chandler brings a serious defensive force to the New York Knicks front court and that is something that they haven't had for quite a few years. The Knicks now have one of the most formidable front courts in the NBA, but that won't mean anything if they don't have a veteran ...

Carmelo Anthony and Amare Stoudemire: Did We All Forget About Melo and Iverson? Allen Iverson, Amare Stoudemire, Carmelo Anthony, NBA, NBA Atlantic, New York Knicks, Opinion | Comments Off
When the Nuggets and Knicks finally stopped torturing the NBA world, and consummated their blockbuster trade, New York rejoiced. Finally they had a superstar tandem (or threesome depending on one's view of Billups), that would rival any team in the league. Indeed, despite the Knicks recent struggles (which I must admit, as a Nuggets fan has been extremely fun to watch), level-headed fans continue to hold out hope, arguing that this trade wasn't made for short-term success, but instead for the long-term. The argument, I believe goes, give Melo and Amare some time to figure each other out, add a ...

But first, Allen Iverson's sad story becomes more bleak. The Man Who Wasn't King Allen Iverson is bonkin' it up in Turkey, in a second-tier league, and he's likely broke. This is how it ends? Whether or not you like to admit, once upon a time Allen Iverson was the NBA. When Jordan was gone for the second time, and Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant ...

Carmelo Anthony: Staying in Denver Remains an Option Allen Iverson, Amare Stoudemire, Anthony Carter, Carmelo Anthony, carmelo anthony rumors, carmelo anthony trade, Danilo Gallinari, kevin durant | Comments Off
by Chris TomassonFiled under: Knicks, Nuggets, NBA Rumors, NBA PreseasonDENVER -- Despite all the rumors about star forward Carmelo Anthony not being long for Denver, he did offer some positive news Tuesday night to Nuggets fans who have been cheering him throughout the preseason. Anthony told FanHouse he hasn't ruled out eventually re-signing with the Nuggets and that he expects to be with the team when it opens the regular season next Wednesday at home against Utah. "Yeah. That's keeping my options open,'' Anthony said when asked if re-signing with the Nuggets remains one of his options. "Yeah (it's an option). When ...

NBA 2010-11 Preview: 10 NBA Players Who Should Retire Now Allen Iverson, Basketball, Boston Celtics, Cleveland Cavaliers, Detroit Pistons, Eddy Curry, Kurt Thomas, NBA, NBA Central, New York Knicks, Rankings/List, shaquille oneal, Tracy McGrady | Comments Off
Time creeps up on the best of us. I used to be able to eat a whole burrito, and it wouldn't induce a weekend-long coma. Age just has a way of catching up to you. So it is the same with the fittest of athletes. Careers are fleeting. One day you are hitting a buzzer-beater, and the next you are waiver wire fodder with no teams interested in your services. It is the sad reality of the NBA. While you may fall in love with your favorite players, their time to hang it ...

The Works: Darren Collison’s Gold Rush Allen Iverson, Chris Paul, Courtney Lee, Darren Collison, LeBron James, Ron Artest, The Works, Trevor Ariza | Comments Off
by Bethlehem Shoals and Tom ZillerFiled under: Heat, Hornets, Knicks, Lakers, Magic, Nets, Pacers, Rockets, NBA Media Watch, NBA Transactions, The WorksToday in The Works: LeBron James and the force of evil; the logical impossibility of predicting Trevor Ariza; and some thoughtful words on Courtney Lee. But first, why Darren Collison's career is only now getting started. Unlikely Savior: For a starless trade, Wednesday's four-team swap sure had some big names. And while Tyreke Evans and Stephen Curry were the best rookies of 2009-10, Darren Collison -- the best player moved Wednesday -- has probably had the greatest impact. (Brandon Jennings gets ...

Allen Iverson Belongs in New York Allen Iverson, Basketball, Free Agency, NBA, NBA Atlantic, New York Knicks, Opinion, Sports | Comments Off
First off, let me begin this article by stating that I am not an Allen Iverson fan. I wouldn't call myself a hater, and I certainly respect the man's scoring ability. However, throughout the years I've become more and more fed up with listening to his stubborn remarks and "me-first" attitude toward his place on teams. With that being said, let me explain why I think he should be picked up this season. It just doesn't make sense. If there is one thing I haven't been able to agree with over the past couple of years, it is the statements ...

Allen Iverson Could Play for the Knicks If They Acquire Carmelo Anthony Allen Iverson, NBA, New York Knicks, Preview/Prediction | Comments Off
We are nearing September and teams are getting ready for training camp. Players across the league are working out and getting their bodies ready for an 82 game season, one of those players being Allen Iverson. But sadly, it is really starting to look like AI won't be playing for a team next year. As hard as he is working this off season, he has probably lost all hope that someone will sign him. Last season Iverson ended up signing with the Grizzlies in September but he had offers and interests all off season, this season he has had no ...

Shannon Brown to Stay Put: Five SGs the Knicks Should Now Pursue Allen Iverson, Best Slideshows - Team, Delonte West, NBA, New York Knicks, Rankings/List, Roger Mason Jr, Rudy Fernandez, Tracy McGrady | Comments Off
In 2010-11, the New York Knicks project to start Wilson Chandler , Bill Walker, or Kelenna Azubuike at shooting guard. However, Chandler and Walker are natural small forwards, and Azubuike, a wing, is better suited coming off the bench (especially after an injury-plagued 2009-10 campaign). Due to this hole at shooting guard, the Knicks recently offered Shannon Brown a one year, $2.7 million contract. However, on Tuesday, August 4, Brown's agent announced to the New York Post that he would likely be re-signing with the LA Lakers. Upon receiving this news, the Knicks' brass must now consider an alternative solution ...

Could Allen Iverson Be Part of the Answer for the New York Knicks? Allen Iverson, Best Slideshows - Team, NBA, New York Knicks, Opinion | Comments Off
Allen Iverson once donned a black and red 76ers jersey and terrorized Knicks fans on a nightly basis. While those days might be long gone, perhaps "The Answer" might be part of the solution to the Knicks troubles. Or maybe he isn’t. Iverson is past his prime, is a headache to deal with, and doesn’t need to surround the Knicks with any more bad press than they already have. As it is, there are rumors swirling saying Isiah Thomas might resume his old post if Donnie Walsh has to step down due to health issues. The Knicks don’t need Allen Iverson, nor should they even look ...

Allen Iverson Could Still Be “Answer” for New York Knicks Allen Iverson, NBA, New York Knicks, Opinion | Comments Off
"The Knicks are back," Amar'e Stoudemire said when he agreed to sign a five-year, $100 million contract. But Amar'e is wrong. The Knicks are not back; they are just a bit more respectable. Amar'e can't can't carry a team by himself. He needs certain pieces around him like he had in Phoenix, such as a point guard who has great vision, can run and gun, and run the pick and roll with him, or else he won't be as effective. He had that point guard in Steve Nash and was surrounded with great shooters, which is why the Suns played such good ...

NBA Free Agency: Allen Iverson Will Accept Reduced Role, But Will He Get Offers? Allen Iverson, NBA, New York Knicks, Opinion | Comments Off
On Monday, Allen Iverson made a statement that the whole world has been waiting for him to make for a year. He said what people thought he wouldn't ever say and what everyone wanted to hear. Yes, a seemingly humbled Iverson posted the following on his Twitter account: " I want to return to the NBA this season, and help any team that wants me, in any capacity that they feel that I can help. I'm disappointed, and I owe my fans more than what they have seen of me the last couple seasons. However, now that my family is healthy and ...

NBA Rumors: 10 Teams That Could Use Allen Iverson Next Season Allen Iverson, NBA, New York Knicks, Opinion | Comments Off
Since Allen Iverson's personal manager Garry Moore announced that Allen would be making a comeback for next season many people are wondering who would sign him. Garry said Allen really wants to play and is working out to prepare himself for next season. It isn't hard to believe because Allen is one of the most competitive players in history and there is no way he wants to leave the game like this. But believe it or not Allen may have a easier time finding a team this year then last year. He did leave Memphis after just three games ...

Beat Boxing: The Best Hip-Hop / Sports Connections Ever Allen Iverson, Boxing, LeBron James, Manny Pacquiao, Mike Tyson, New York, New York Knicks, Philadelphia, Rankings/List | Comments Off
The connection between hip-hop culture and sports is well-founded, most prominently in basketball, but relevant in other sports as well. This list is merely a glance into the vastly linked worlds of sports and hip-hop. The artists featured in this piece are presented in no particular order, with one thing in common - they're all dope. The songs and lyrics chosen are by no means the only examples of that artist rhyming about sports; I'm simply opening the door to check out some intelligent, articulate, funny music that sports fans will likely appreciate.

Cavs need to cut out the childish antics Allen Iverson, Cleveland Cavaliers, LeBron James, NBA, New York Knicks | Comments Off
A reader beat me to the punch in regards to Cleveland's animated - some would say childish - bench. I understand that times are a changing in the NBA, and not necessarily for the better. One example is the conduct of the Cavs' supporting players before and especially during games. Last night, they were over-the-top during Cleveland's blowout win over the Knicks. After Delonte West dunked on Tracy McGrady, the bench celebrated the play, which is understandable. But did we really need to see ... — full article at nydailynews.com
