Time for David Stern to Go “All-Lin” Basketball, David Stern, jeremy lin, NBA, New York Knicks, Opinion | Comments Off
It's time for David Stern to whisper in the collective ear of the NBA officials.He might say something like this: “Psst, guys. This kid Lin is making everybody forget about the lockout. He's not only saved the Knicks' coach, but he's saved the Knicks' season and he's pumping up attendance everywhere he plays. Plus, he's taken all of the heat off me for my bungling of that Mavs/Lakers/Clippers horror, and he's opened up markets around the world that I could only dream about. Imagine, if China was all-Lin on the NBA! (giggle) Yes, I love how everyone plays with ...

NBA Lockout: New York Knicks Star Carmelo Anthony Talks Team and Labor Progress Amare Stoudemire, Carmelo Anthony, David Stern, Interviews, NBA, NBA Atlantic, NBA Rumors, New York, New York Knicks, Opinion | Comments Off
During the NBA lockout, the league’s star players certainly have more time on their hands to use their fame to help promote various products. New York Knicks’ resident superstars Amar’e Stoudemire and Carmelo Anthony have been no exception, hitting the Big Apple with various media tours. One of Anthony’s latest ventures has been “Power Grip,” by MISSION AthleteCare, for which he was instrumental in influencing the finished product. Anthony had been testing the so-called “liquid-chalk” for nearly six or seven months, he said, giving the company feedback on what he considered to be pros and cons of the product, which ...

Why the New York Knicks Could Learn a Thing or Two from the Miami Heat’s Season Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul, David Stern, Mike D'antoni, NBA, NBA Atlantic, New York Knicks, Opinion | Comments Off
Perhaps all the NBA needed was just this. Maybe the Heat choking is all it will take for David Stern, and every owner out there to realize, that hey, superstars don’t automatically equal a championship.Maybe the way the Heat lost—you know, with their biggest superstar nicknamed the “King” falling flush in the fourth quarter—is all it will take for other teams to realize that public image isn’t everything. But it’s likely none of that happens. After nearly 10 years of criticism and neglect from true NBA fans, you’d think Stern would have learned by now, or at least listened. If ...

But first, Chris Paul, LeBron James and how time will crush us all. Legacy? We Talking About Legacy? Last weekend, when Chris Paul slayed the Miami Heat, basketball fans the world over lined to proclaim CP3 completely, totally, and unequivocally back. This was the same peanut gallery that, since the summer months, has been bellyaching over the legacy of one LeBron James. We somehow know what ...

David Stern Accepts Blame for Knicks’ Isiah Thomas Confusion David Stern, Isiah Thomas, James Dolan | Comments Off
by FanHouse StaffFiled under: KnicksFor several days in August, the New York Knicks had basketball fans everywhere scratching their heads with the news that ower James Dolan intended to hire Isiah Thomas as a consultant. As confusing as it was to understand why Dolan would desire the services of the man responsible for driving his franchise into the ground, the most perplexing wrinkle was that Thomas intended on remaining in his capacity as head coach at Florida International University. Needless to say, it didn't take long for the NBA to intervene, informing the Knicks that having an NCAA head coach ...

The Works: Fixing the One-and-Done Sham Carmelo Anthony, David Stern, Jerry West, Kevin McHale, Mark Emmert, The Works | Comments Off
by Bethlehem Shoals and Tom ZillerFiled under: Grizzlies, Knicks, Nuggets, Timberwolves, NBA Draft, NBA Rumors, The Works In The Works today, Carmelo Anthony names names and Jerry West doesn't separate himself from Kevin McHale as a decision-maker in the new era. But first, on the newest idea to fix the age minimum rule. The NBA's age minimum has reared its misshapen head once again, and not a moment too soon. New NCAA president Mark Emmert has endorsed Major League Baseball's draft system, where prospects can declare for the amateur draft right out of high school but still attend college if they so ...

2011 NBA Free Agents: Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul Take LeBron James’ Cue Amare Stoudemire, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul, David Stern, LeBron James, NBA, NBA History, New York Knicks, Opinion | Comments Off
Accounts of Carmelo Anthony's Manhattan wedding to La La Vasquez last month read eerily like a scene out of The Godfather. Allegedly, fellow superstar malcontent Chris Paul stood up at Melo's wedding reception and initiated a playful toast to teaming up with Anthony in New York. Soon after, Amar'e Stoudemire took his turn playing Don Corleone. With more serious intent, the Knicks' newest No. 1 saluted Carmelo and his future in blue and orange. Following a slew of other guests hopping on the Big Apple bandwagon (including Melo's brother), Denver Nuggets owner Stan Kroenke stood up to give his own congratulations to the ...

by Jordan SchultzFiled under: Grizzlies, Kings, Knicks, Nets, NBA Draft, ThunderNEW YORK -- If you've never been to the NBA Draft, there's one thing to know: it begins with a rush. When the doors open at 6:30 to the Madison Square Garden Theatre for the 2010 NBA Draft, there are Knick fans aplenty. Appropriately, one is wearing a "LeBron" Knicks shirt and yelling "LeBronnnnnnn!" Another yells, "Do something right Knicks!" Does it matter that the Knicks don't draft until No. 38? Nope, not at all. This is draft night. The draft's bright lights are ready to shine as the fans flock into ...

LeBron James, Dwyane Wade to ‘Sit Down’ and Talk During Free Agency Carlos Boozer, David Stern, Dwyane Wade, Joe Johnson, LeBron James | Comments Off
by Will BrinsonFiled under: Bulls, Cavaliers, Hawks, Heat, Knicks, NBA Rumors LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Joe Johnson -- three of the NBA's biggest free agent names this offseason -- are all inconveniently (for everyone involved except Celtics fans) sidelined from actual basketball, but that doesn't mean rampant speculation about where they'll land next year hasn't, at times, overshadowed the NBA playoffs. And that's not likely to slow any time soon, especially if those three guys are going to use all their free time, as Wade implied to the Trib, to "sit down" and talk with each other about the various choices available ...
