Might not be about the knicks but we celebrate the History of the game in NYC.
Have some Nate "Tiny" Archibald! h Its not about Lance, Pearl Washington, or Marbles, its the history of the game! You have coach's, players, writers, Commish, all from the area. We helped spread "the city game" to international levels! http://is.nba.com/ASTAR_2015/NYC_BB_Map_2615.jpg I hope some of you are getting to enjoy some of the festivities! |

 can anyone old enough to remember speak on this guy? Dude was a nice scorer for the Knicks averaging 19 at the age of 24 then got hurt...played 2 years later and then retired. I always thought his situation was the reason the Knicks Gave up on King so easily. Subscribe to my Podcast https://youtube.com/c/DiehardknicksPodcast

Toby Knight suffered a knee injury that ended his career. i think it occurred just beforo or just after he was to sign a second contract. His injury was before orthoscopic surgery was common. For years he lived in long island and actually came to work out with my high school team one time. I know he coached Molloy college for a few years but don't know anything beyond that.
Bring back dee-fense

The 3 point competition is pretty much the one event I've consistently enjoyed the past few years. Definitely looking forward to it this year too. Knicksfan: Hypocrite league that fines players after the game for flopping but in the game and with obvious flopping they call the fouls.

Knicks probably saw another toby knight all over again Subscribe to my Podcast https://youtube.com/c/DiehardknicksPodcast

Prior to Bernard an athlete was pretty much done once he had that type of surgery before orthoscopic surgery was the norm. There is always gonna be that what if the Knicks kept Bernard.

Btw, Clyde and Bernard King are suppose to be judges for the dunk contest, so i might check it out just for them.
 I bleed orange and blue for life.

A friend of mine who was a ball player thought Toby was a black hole on offense and not a willing passer. Did have his best assist year in the year before the injury. Average went up progressively each year until his injury. Played some D and was a decent rebounder for a small forward. I think he would have been a foundational player on the Knicks for many years if he had not gotten hurt. I was stunned that his career ended so quickly. He was a favorite of mine, and was on the verge of becoming an excellent player. So it goes. EnySpree: Can we agree to agree not to mention Phil Jackson and triangle for the rest of our lives?

Watched 5 minutes of the "rising stars" and was pretty evident how far the international game has evolved!!!!
Was looking for knick players???? None. Minny had 4, Philly had a few. If Embid was playing he might be there. Dumb ass stupid Nets even managed Two!!! Its the state we are in, but not the place we are going to. Im ok with cleaning house this year. Too bad THjr not playing at HOME!!! He has regressed that bad!!! Those Rising star uniforms were very cool. The crackle baseline "Brooklyn" and the uni's were great. NY got two great arena's!!!! Durant got a big billboard in times square?? Seems like dude is a huge global star even out in a cowboy town!! |

Really upsetting watching the all star competitions in NY, with no one in it from Knicks except from Melo.
