That last "bang", NY vs Minnesota, was off of a Randle spinover that OG took away from him. Randle standing there talking to the official...love it

I've been listening to Blood in the Garden this summer on audiobook, and while its an awesome book about possibly my favorite subject, re-living all the past traumas have been harrowing. The 1994 finals, the Reggie Miller game, the Riley fiasco, the PJ Brown-Ward scuffle and suspensions...

At the same time really nice to get the stories about Mason (amazing stories about this guy), Starks, Riley and the others. Legendary group of errors.

I have made reference to this book in the past as more factually accurate than some have babbled about the past. The Riley stuff was really interesting. Dude was really insecure and the lead up to his resigning was very telling to his character.
Also interesting and perhaps made more humanistic was the tale of Charles smith, Also the Nellie situation. Should be required reading for some in these forums.
Hope Phil writes more about his tenure here. Also someone do the Isiah years. It has to be a manual for HOW NOT to run a franchise!

Nah, I know how this ends already. He will be back with less arc on his shot and worse free throw %. Oh, and no post moves. He is what he is. And he is pretty good at being what he is.

I wonder if he still plays Fortnite or if there is another game. That was a few years ago afterall

Saw Amare play a few time in person. He was different. Like his feet glided over the floor. Just pure athletic marvel. He seemed to accelarate in mid air thru the lane and explod to the rim which defied the logic of gravity.
I know we should have kept the pick in that weird ass draft https://www.basketball-reference.com/draft/NBA_2002.html where in hindsight Amare should go after yao ming at number 2. To be fair, Jayson Williams did get hurt so we can't get too cute on hindsight, but the next 4 picks were off base. Nene turned out to be all rook team that year and had a nice 17 year career. Carlos Boozer and Manu Ginobli go in the second round that year. Mike Dunleavy and Drew Gooden to 3 and 4?? WOW!!

Amare was drafted straight out of high school and his family life was a total mess. He defied the odds and matured on and off the court rather quickly. Rookie of the year and became an allstar in year three under MDA where in his first full season they won 62 games! He is not in the HOF (yet?) but looking at his probabilty scores he is similar to others already in.

The thinking at the time we signed him with that insane 5 year deal was he'd last 3 given his back issues. That was all PHX was willing to do. He told knicks it would take a 5 year to unseat him from PHX. The 3 year prediction proved correct as the last two years he was injured alot. With Melo it was a good idea conceptually but we were a bit thin after that trade and could not round out the roster.
