Anthony's Star selection not the brightest

Please welcome new Chasing 23 Contributor Daniel Douglas.  Basketball , once stripped of its gaudy jerseys, mainstream hip-hop songs leading into and out of televised games, grating arena announcers, even more grating commentators and mildly sauced local celebrities made up and Vera Wang’d out at courtside, is a game of individual domination. Granted, the tete-a-tete showdowns...

Carmelo Anthony hasn’t improved the Knicks’ winning percentage since his arrival, but the veteran forward has increased his popularity.

No coach will ever claim a moral victory. No player will ever claim a moral victory. Rarely will a fan claim a moral victory for their favorite team.

Amar’e Stoudemire led all scorers in the 105-102...

A lack of late-game execution has cost both the New York Knicks and New Jersey Nets recently. The two struggling Atlantic Division rivals try to right themselves Saturday night at Madison Square Garden, where the embattled Knicks host the Nets. New York (8-15) is 3-5 in games decided by five or fewer points, but two of those losses have come in the last two games. After Amar'...

There are many good reasons this little corner of the net has long held that Jerry West deserves to be placed in an exalted category among NBA General Managers: ========================= Last season it was Carmelo Anthony. This season it’s Dwight Howard. Players who hold the threat of walking as a free agent over a team to force a trade to a destination they prefer. Jerry West...

Why is College Basketball so hard to watch this year? Wasn’t this supposed to be college basketball’s big breakout year in ratings and popularity? Due to the Lockout, the NBA was going to take a huge hit and college basketball would be the one to come out on top.
