I liked watching this- it's a bit boring when it's just Lin, but when Shump and Novak join him about 30mins in, it's pretty funny. Nice to see the chemistry between them too. Loved Shump's comments about why he plays defense- he hates it when certain people score- good to hear someone on the team gets as annoyed as some of us do when 'certain players' light us up!:

Blood sweat and tears for mine

I’m trying to get ahead like an overbite.”

Shump rocks on til the break of dawn

I actually really enjoyed that. Shumpert is a conceited bastard but damn is he good on the court and improving. His defense is a thing of art.

Yeah very enjoyable..Shumpert is ****y but likeable and I think he is the type of player that his confidence transfers to others. Like I can see him pumping Lin, Fields and other reserved players to play like they belong when they play the tougher teams.

It was funny seeing them together. They all had this kind of dry sense of humor and were feeding off of each other.

Shump doesn't like guys with dreads or ankle socks. He just doesn't think certain guys should be allowed to score and swagger.

Just got around to catching this. Cool interview, not what I expected. I thought it was like a post-practice chat, but this was balls in, balls out, balls all over the area.

Finally got a chance to watch this. Just awesome, hope to see all of them remain here long-term.

I was thinking the same thing, he's brash and arrogant but at the same time likable if that makes sense. He has the most potential and tools out of all the young Knicks to truly be a star.

You gotta figure once Shump shows consistency in practice he will start. He's getting to the point where he has a better understanding of the nba games on both ends. IMO the one reason why Fields is still starting is because he has a year under his belt. Shump is clearly better but there are a lot of little things in the nba that you pick up as a rookie day by day

Who does everyone think will be gone next year? I really like the way this team is coming together. Although Fields seems like a good guy...I don't think the Knicks would miss his play. I certainly hope we retain Lin, Novak and Shump. That is for sure. Novak may be hard to keep though.

They are not going anywhere. Not until they get their first mid to big contract can they start entertaining other offers.

That is a really fun, great interview- gives a lot of insight - more than a speculative article-
Thanks for putting it up-
If you are still following the team and reading sites like this, there is nothing, short of your own demise, that is going to throw you off this train.
