So after working from 8am to 1am yesterday, I have some leisure time now to think about how squad bocker got whacked infront of 14,000 again last night. Pretty soon the garden is gonna start looking like Philips arena in Atlanta, where i think homeless people hang out, no hawks fans. Although the hawks are halfway decent this season. It would be dope if the knicks were halfway decent. I'm going to stand outside of the Garden tomorrow night and find a couple of kids who want to see the Lebron show, and sell them my 75 dollar tickets for $25 a piece or something. Or maybe just some quarters so I could do my laundry. The kids wanna see Lebron im sure of it. Speaking of the Lebron show, how about the highly anticipated Mike Dunleavy Junior show that took place last night. I'm really shocked. Not really. Ok this is a knicks lover website. Its supposed to be for knicks love. So I'll just stop myself there. I wont continue. I have nothing else to say right now.
Except I want to talk about Dwight Howard. In all honesty, Ide have to say that the number one most shocking thing about this nba season so far is how much the new york knicks suck. Since I'm a knicks fan, that works out really great for me. I think in all seriousness a lot of people would agree that its one of the most surprising headlines thus far. The level, the amazingly high level of shitty play and overall organization wide embarrasement. But the number two story, at least for me, has to be Dwight Howard. This kid cant be serious. Is he not the MVP? He already rebounds better than Shaq ever did at any point. He's faster and more athletic and jumps higher to compensate for less beastly strength, in comparison to shaq. I dont think in all the years, ive ever seen someone rebound like this dude, except dennis rodman, who couldnt put the rock in the goal and was a far cry (offensivly) from a 6'11 insane vertical leaping center. Everytime i look up he's got 25 and 15, or 30 and 20. By the way he leads the league through sunday with 105 dunks, and Marion is second with 51. It all brings me to the point: How does he not have a nickname? Or does he have one, and im just so out of the sportscenter loop that i havnt heard it?? Well if he still doesnt, hows Flight Howard? I'm semi-proud of myself for that. The Terminator works for me too. Everybody who's not knicks blogging and aint gonna read this, what do you think? Which brings me to this, a road I've been down before and i'm definetely about to take myself down right now cuz im not going back to work....... Great roundball nicknames of all time:
I'm gonna start by keeping it very Knicks-centric at first. I think you will find that there have been some truly classic nicknamed ballers to rock the o and b.

Found my collection of old basketball cards yesterday, thought I would share some shots from the most honerable knicks teams of the 90s.
Gotta pay respect to the man in the middle....
We miss you big man.
This is Petra, and she's really fly.
Supposedly this is the dancer Isiah / MSG paid to flirt with Referees. Who knows if this is true (it came out after this whole harassment case, and right now any money hungry female garden employee is planning a case against MSG...but i wouldn't doubt it.). Good job Isiah.
This guy is supposed to lead the Knicks to a NBA title?

you forgot Anthony 'I've Got A Massive' Bonner. I think Marv coined that one, but it may have been Bob Page at the MSG Sportsdesk.
and Jerome 'Are You Gonna Finish That' James
