tkf I have 1 ? and 1 ? only
Where was your Son through all of this tonight?
He walked out of the room and erased the season he started with the knicks on NBA live playstation, right after nelson hit that second three..... He asked dad? why is it that teams get every shot they want, when they need it against us? and as a dad, I was really upset because for the first time in a long time, I had no legitimate answer for my son.... He is really starting to wonder why I followed this team for so long. when I told him I followed the knicks since I was his age, he started laughing... really laughing hard. I almost felt insulted....LOL..
Your son appears to be a thinker doesn't sound like he uses excuses, just wonders why lunacy always runs rampant with this team and refuses to watch it for the duration. Wise beyond his yrs and I have no idea how old he is. He's someone I'd like to meet and I'm being serious. Listen to him.
my son is 14, when it comes to sports he didn't grow up in NY so he isn't tied emotionally to the teams like I am, and living in georgia all of his life, he never really liked the home team. Funny thing is, he used to be a HUGE Steve francis fan, until he learned how to play ball (from me of course) and found out that basketball should not be played the way francis plays it. He loves Dwight howard as a player and being a Georgia boy and all. He doesn't make excuses for the knicks, just doesn't understand with all the so called talent they have, whey they are so bad. He did make one astute observation, when he said, "dad, I know curry is only 24 and knicks fans expect him to get better at defense and rebounding, but can you explain why Howard so early is so good at those things". I said good question son, but just like dwight is good on defense and rebounding, curry is good at scoring so every player has their strengths and weakneses... and then he asked the "QUESTION" "Dad I thought you said defense and rebouding were all about effort?" I quietly retreated back to the TV and told him to go back to bed..... LOL....... Damn Kids!!!!! LOL.....
Again these kids are no fool, and I guess he looks at the game a little different than most of us who are so emotionally tied to the team, he likes marbury simply because I think he feels sorry for him, he doesn't like frye and curry at all, he likes lee and balkman and nate. He asks a lot of good tough questions when it comes to the sport, but can't understand the things he feel are simple. Like big men not being shotblockers or good rebounders, and guards not being able to shoot. He said, dad how was francis so good early in his career and look so bad now, especially if he never had a jumper..... LOL.. again these kids notice everything...
Anyone who sits around and waits for the lottery to better themselves, either in real life or in sports, Is a Loser...............
