Ha, wow. Tonight was some night. The Knicks selected some good players, and it was fun to see Ddjsunyk, killa4luv, and I believe it was BigSm00th who was sitting behind me (I could be wrong), but we were sitting in the 305 section, and it was pretty cool because the players came up the steps and had to pass us to leave, and I slapped hands with Bogut, Marvin Williams, FRYE, BYNUM, and it was funny...Everyone was yelling certain things, like for Bynum, when his sister walked by with a Lakers hat, someone yelled: "Hey Bynums sister! Be careful of Kobe and don't let him rape you!" or something to that extent.

The draft was larger than life. If you have never been to a draft, go to it. The way that I found out someone was here from the board was I was sitting in front of BigSm00th I think??? and basically he was on the phone with someone after the Knicks picked Frye, and he said "BRIGGS IS PROBABLY PISSED NOW", so I turned around and said, "You know BRIGGS?" and he paused and I was like "BRIGGS from UltimateKnicks.com?" and so we talked and found out that both of us were from the same board.

It was nice to be back at the Garden after not going for a while and to see Knick fans all around. Can't wait to do it next year! Post your memories and who and if you met anyone from the boards...

Well..... myself GunsNEwing and Silverfuel went to Guns house and watched the draft with a few other friends. I wasn't ecstatic with the Channing pick as many know lol but as the draft went along I came to grips with the pick and I'm OK with it now. I love the pick of Nate Robinson that we're getting from Phoenix and I know Briggs will too haha. I'm pretty happy, this draft makes it seem like Isiah has his mindset on the style of play that he wants which is uptempo so thats cool with me. Lets trade a few of our contract year players and see what else we can get to fill out our roster. I give the draft a solid B. Not bad, not great, but above average. I don't live the pick of Frye but he will be solid, I would have preferred Granger or Green whom can be come supserstars but Channing was a safe pick and I'll deal with it.

BigSm00th, give everyone the low down on what your experience was like at the draft, particulary with the players who passed us, such as Bogut, Williams, Frye, etc...
