In fantastic bit of reporting, Howard Beck of the New York Times broke the news regarding the NBA Players Association's recent attempt at better defining the terms surrounding Bird Rights and NBA Players.His analysis was quick to note that it matters a great deal for the Knicks and their developing negotiations with Jeremy Lin.Let's take a brief tangent and use the information available on Wikipedia to break down what exactly the Bird Rights entail: named after Larry Legend, the Bird Rights were created to allow teams to re-sign their star veterans with maximum contracts (the "maximum" is a predetermined figure based on ...

Jeremy Lin: What Made the New York Knicks Sensation Stand out as a Prospect jeremy lin, NBA, NBA Atlantic, New York Knicks, Stats | Comments Off
Jeremy Lin stood out as a prospect to me for several reasons. He posted strong numbers in the statistics that have historically been important for PG prospects to do well at. He was dominant in the two statistics that best show NBA-level athleticism for a PG. There were no other glaring negatives in his game.Finally, even though he played in a lesser conference he proved he could play with the big boys whenever he got the chance. In my mind this made him a great bet to become at least a rotation regular with an outside shot at stardom. When ...

Who the Heck Is Jeremy Lin? Basketball, jeremy lin, NBA, NBA Atlantic, New York Knicks, Stats | Comments Off
New York Knicks point guard Jeremy Lin is taking the NBA by storm. "Linsanity" probably won't reach the same level as "Tebowmania," but with the NFL season over, Lin is beginning to get significant attention for his accomplishments.With Carmelo Anthony and Amar'e Stoudemire out, the Knicks turned to an unlikely player to lead them. So far in this NBA season, the New York Knicks have not lived up to expectations. Many blame the lack of a true point guard.It may have taken an Anthony injury and some tragic events for Stoudemire, but they may have found their point guard, in ...

Are Carmelo Anthony and Amare Stoudemire the Best Offensive Duo in the League? Amare Stoudemire, Carmelo Anthony, NBA, NBA Atlantic, New York Knicks, Stats | Comments Off
When Carmelo Anthony was traded to the Knicks midway through last season, many expected his pairing with Amare Stoudemire to form the most deadly offensive duo in the league. Does that statement hold any validity? Well I'm here to tell you if it does or does not. I'll be comparing Anthony/Stoudemire to the top offensive duos in the league, which will include the following: LeBron James/Dwyane Wade, Kevin Durant/Russell Westbrook, Kobe Bryant/Pau Gasol and Blake Griffin/Eric Gordon. Now, I'm not talking about which duo is the highest scoring. That would be simple—we could just look at the points average of the ...

NBA Playoffs Picks Sunday: Spurs/Grizzlies, Knicks/Celtics, Nuggets/Thunder Amare Stoudemire, Basketball, Carmelo Anthony, kevin durant, Kevin Garnett, NBA, NBA Atlantic, New York Knicks, Stats | Comments Off
After a 2-1 day yesterday, let’s see what I can pull off on the second day of the NBA playoffs. Here’s who I like: San Antonio Spurs vs. Memphis Grizzlies OVER 193: While the Spurs have historically been known for their defensive prowess, that hasn’t necessarily been the case this season. The Spurs are right about average in the league giving up 98 points per game, and Memphis is right behind at 97.6 PPG allowed. This figures to be an uptempo and high-scoring game, even with the talented Manu Ginobili doubtful for the Spurs. Zach Randolph has had a monster season, and ...

Knicks’ Danilo Gallinari Plans Assault On All Three-Point Records Basketball, Danilo Gallinari, NBA, NBA History, New York, New York Knicks, Stats | Comments Off
Who is the best shooter you've ever seen? During the 2005-'06 NBA season, I had an opportunity to watch Seattle's Ray Allen set the NBA record for threes made when he canned 269 of his 653 attempts in 78 regular season games. Allen is a flawless shooter with unlimited range and no conscious and he can single handedly bring a team back from a double-digit deficit. This summer when Mike D'Antoni stated the best shooter he had ever seen was Danilo Gallinari, nobody was speaking up to second his claims. Gallinari has hit 18 threes ...
