Dude's got a ton of inspiration and motivation. You can tell he's got a big heart and he uses it to pursue his dreams in a pure way. Lots of other people like that let their emotions get in the way of their dreams. Shump uses them as fuel to work hard and achieve his ambitions in different spectrums of life.

Lots of respect for Shump. Hope he comes back even stronger.

Another great kid incompatible with Dolan and his chronies.
Not sure they will tolerate the presense of this bright man for long.

Amazing. A young man with tremendous spirit and perspective. Glad he is a knick.

Don't worry he will be traded for an aging veteran after the season

SUCH A SMart and brave guy. I lost my mother to cancer in 2001, I understand the pain of losing a loved one like that. I really like this kid, he is everything most of the players on the knicks aren't... speedy recovery iman!

If I learned anything from the Lin situation its best to not get too attached to young up and coming players. Not when you have Dolan as your owner

Knicks have traded away a lot of young guys. Lin was a very unique situation that came up with this new cba but he wasn't lost to a trade. I don't think Shump is going anywhere. The Knicks have their stars so unless they are targeting a pick in a draft where they already traded away their pick I think he stays.

Dude, Knicks tried desperately to trade Shump in a package for Nash, a guy who might give you 2 good years.

Not trying to be a douche (happens naturally) just sayin man.
