Two things that I thought were interesting about this.
1.) From the Berman blog:
1. Was very amused that Knicks trotted out Mark Aguirre in the fourth quarter on their MSG Network telecast to rave about Curry's conditioning. It looked like a preemptive strike, knowing that a critical column on Curry being a no-show at the Las Vegas workouts was forthcoming. Aguirre said Curry is "way ahead of schedule.'' Actually when I spoke to Aguirre two weeks ago, he said Curry wouldn't start real serious conditioning until mid-July.
2. The statement from Curry's camp about how Isiah needs to figure out how this will work.
I'm hopeful after a full season of Isiah coaching Eddy Curry personally and Isiah knowing that he will have to deal with the consequences of how he sets up the team in the future because he personally will be coaching it(and can't just dump his team that fits together terribly on someone else) he is more mindful of how things
work.
I'm hopeful that Isiah is now selling other gm's instead of selling us knicks fans. I'm hoping that Curry is on his way out, and that Aquire is just covering.
Cash why would you assume Berman is being honest about anything?
He has showed in the past how biased he is and that makes his credibility nill.
Who is Currys camp? I didnt know Curry had a "camp" An unidentified quote from Berman? That carries no weight. In my opinion Berman just like Larry Brooks whenever he wants to say something he just makes up an imaginary unidentified source. I know the Post is a tabloid and Berman is far from a reporter but he couldnt get a job at the Star or the Globe with his nonsense.
Zach and Curry are friends off the court.
Why would a beat reporter risk his livelihood by completely fabricating stories? Especially concerning an organization that is as media conscious as the Knicks and who are more than willing to be vengeful towards people they think did them wrong?
You think being biased (funny how you don't mention reporters like Howard Beck, that are biased towards Isiah) ruins credibility? Fabricating stories completely destroys careers.
LOL, ask Latrell. Berman never proved whether the boat story was true. The post lawyers said that Sprewell and his people couldn't prove that someone told him that story or not, so Sprewell couldn't prove that he it was defamation of character with malicious intent. The Daily News and Times blasted him and the Post for not supporting the story. I am still waiting for support for that story but as he said I guess he doesn't need it to support it.
So what are you saying? That there was no evidence that Berman fabricated a story?
Thanks.
OK Isles let me ask you a question.
If Marc Berman writes something in the paper does that mean it is true? Yes or no?
I think it means that he believes it to be true when he writes it. Be it personal knowledge or from sources that he believes to be reliable.
I don't think he just makes crap up and prints it the way you do.
Really? so his opinions as a Columnist are facts? And our opinions are just made up?
Did you think Berman was telling the truth when he said "Curry, meanwhile, will enjoy New Orleans next February in the main event of All-Star weekend. Bank on it."
Oh damn hurry up and back track, lol.

Seriously, what the **** are you talking about? Are you really this obtuse? What you just quoted is obviously an opinion. Berman talking about what Aguirre said to him, and what you suggested was a fabrication, is not opinion.
I'm not even sure why you're going off on this tangent about fact or opinion. Go back to your premise that Berman intentionally fabricates stories. Offering his opinion every now and then is completely different. Where is your proof that he does?
I said makes up quotes not stories. Arent most columnist stories made up?
Oh wait our opinions are madeup but a columnists opinions are "what he believes to be true", lol.
Oh wait you didnt even know the difference beatween a reporter and a columnist. LOL
Where is your proof the quote was not made up? Who said the quote? Oh yeah an unnamed source,lol.
