Knicks pay tribute to Eddy Curry with balloon popping

Found October 15, 2008 on The Sports Point:
PLAYERS: Stephon Marbury,  Eddy Curry,  Colt McCoy,  Wilson Chandler,  David Lee
TEAMS: New York Knicks


Last night we attended the Knicks versus Sixers preseason game at the Garden. It was a pretty entertaining contest considering it was preseason and featured Stephon Marbury. There were a couple of highlights mostly the play of Wilson Chandler, David Lee and the Knicks paying tribute to Eddy Curry, who in Monday's practice exploded a giant blue physio-ball when he went to sit on it, by holding an on court balloon popping contest (no hands allowed) between two larger fans during a timeout break.
You would think that someone in the Knicks organization would say, "Hey, we might want to hold off on the two fatties trying to pop blue balloons for one night" but then again this is James Dolan's Knicks.

Hit The Road Jack (David)

Via mvn.com  |  July 08, 2008
I, like most Knicks fans, love watching David Lee check into the game with the scorekeeper. I know that when Lee's on the floor he's going to give his max effort and we'll see a high-energy attack of the court. That being said, Knicks fans over rate David Lee's skill set. Lee [...]

Gus Johnson......RE-MIX!

Via Awful Announcing Inactive  |  October 30, 2008
It's been a long time since Gus Johnson had something to get excited about in regards to the Knicks. While my Wizards were busy losing to the f'ing Nets on their opening night, the Knicks were busy running and dunking over the Heat. In the second quarter, Gus lets out a huge "Hell Yes!" after a put-back dunk from Wilson Chandler, and the good folks at Tirico Suave...

Regardless of how that plays out, there is the potential for a silver lining on this Knicks season should things go south - and I'm talking about more than just David Lee who is already cemented himself as the new fan favorite. I speak about Patrick Ewing Jr.

Knicks Played Their Best Game!

From the NY Daily News.
