While all the chaos is going on at 2 Penn Plaza, I would not be surprised if the subtle volunteerism of Curry, along with the rehab of Frye - (and his conversation with boy Lee) have the Knicks players refocused on their off-season routines....

Jamal: "who dis?"

Eddy: "it's yo' boy"

JC; "yo, where you at?"

EC: "in the gym mofo, have you been checking this ish out lately?"

JC: "hey, you know it's always gonna be sumpthin'... how the workouts comin'?"

EC: "feel pretty good, can't wait until July in Las Vegas... I heard DLee was thinkin' about comin' through"

JC: "that was a good move to show up early"

EC: "no biggie, you talked with Nate?"

JC: (laughing) "that crazy mofo is playing in The Rucker for Diddys squad..."

EC: (laughing) "you better watch yo boy before he hurts somebody..."

JC: "you talked with CFrye?"

EC: "not this week, but I'm gonna check him out to see how the leg is comin'"

JC: "tell him I said "yo",.. buzz me up when you head out..."

EC: "cool... you KNOW we can do this, right?..."

JC: "no doubt... out"


Make it so

nice ebonics

Lets hope some positives comes out of this and the players take the onus on themselves to be prepared and accountable...They got a full dose of drama this past season, let hope all the stuff is all behind them and now they can play ball...

Frye: "yo dude, let's show everyone we can play ball, and win, despite all the silliness..."

Lee: "I'm wid that"

Frye: "solid"

holfresh - Curry/ Jamal (Chicago) - Frye/Lee (best friends) Qyntel/ Jackie (both from the Memphis area) and Jamal /Nate (Seattle) all provide a ready-made base for 2006 Knicks team chemistry.

If this crew decides to cohere to an unselfish agenda, the Knicks will be a better not as a result of any front office shenanigans, but for a confluence of individual decisions based on friendship.

They will learn to tune out the noise and trust nothing but each other.

Channing Frye for captain

Well misterearl, from you finger tips to God's ear...

Naw, I don't think it's that...earl has a good heart...defends and support the young players for the most part..he brings a mature and light hearted view to the scene on most occasions...

Degrading?

Every think about What Dolan does to the fans?

Thats degrading!

Allanfan20 - I'm so over the idea that so-called grown-azz men can't work out their individual agendas - I think I'm gunna degrade myself.

Let them play

>> I meant degrading as in that's how people assume the players talk.

Okay metra - just as Africans in The West Indies created patois to bend English language into a camouflaged code, one must also consider the fact that many African-Americans switch dialogue effortlessly to conform to their social envronment.

Since you requested it, here's the "other" side of the bi-lingual version.

Jamal: "hello?"
Eddy: "Jamal, it's Edward"
JC; "good afternoon, did you receive my email?"
EC: "actually I didn't stop to check my messages, but I did read the Times online - looks like Isiah and Larry are struggling to define the direction of the roster"
JC: "didn't Herb tell you to tune out the distractions? I'm more concerned about how your cardio is improving these days"
EC: "still not satisfied, but I AM looking forward to catching up with Brittenham in Las Vegas... I understand David Lee is consdering Pete Newell's camp in Hawaii after the games are over"
JC: "that was an exemplary decision to make an appearance"
EC: "I expect someone will attempt to turn it into a negative, but I can't be worried about what anyone thinks, by the way... have you spoken with Nathaniel lately?"
JC: "He DID mention something about playing a charity event in Harlem in late July... "
EC: "please tell him to be careful with playing on asphalt..."
JC: "without question, what is the status of Channing's leg?"
EC: "it seems to be nearly 100 per cent healed but he's following his regimen carefully not to rush things, you know Channing..."
JC: "between the three of us, we can make a difference in next years team output... please send him my regards... and please, will you call when you are ready to leave the gymnasium?...?
EC: "absolutely, let's head over to Trader Vic's - I understand the wheatgrass/ginger juice is to die for..."
JC: "I'll drive...let's meet at precisely 1:45..."
JJ: "excuse me, are you gentlemen going to dine?"

LMFAO...
