For nearly 20 years I've grown up with Rasheed Wallace and Jerry Stackhouse in my life. Both guys are still prominent players in the NBA and they are both why I watch basketball. The post Growing Up With Rasheed Wallace And Jerry Stackhouse appeared first on The Sports Fan Journal.

The term MVP is one of the most coveted in the world of sports besides champion, and the Knicks Carmelo Anthony is playing like a MVP this season.
The story on Anthony was his ball hogging ways, immaturity, and unwillingness to work within a system.
For a moment it looked true last year as Mike D’Antoni’s system floundered under Anthony.
The glaring factor in that equation however...

Jason Kidd and Deron Williams both know what it’s like to play for Avery Johnson, and they both understand how it feels to not be fully comfortable playing for him. Earlier this week, Williams said he has not been the same player since joining the Brooklyn Nets and that he was far more comfortable in Jerry Sloan’s system with the Utah Jazz. Kidd, who had some disagreements with...

The Nets, who have struggled to get themselves going in the third quarter all season, saw the Knicks break the game open with a 18-6 run over the final 6:54 of the third quarter last night to hand the Nets a 100-86 loss, giving the Nets three straight losses and eight in their last 10 games.

Who had the New York Knicks on top of the Eastern Conference at 19-6 after 25 games? No one?
It is a pretty big shock.
This is a team that has failed to meet the potential of their talent for years, and now, all of a sudden, they look like they could compete for an NBA title. Have they finally discovered what it is going to take to win?
Carmelo Anthony is the league’s second...

The New York Knicks are one of the top teams this NBA season and a good portion of their success has to do with the slew of offensive options. They have several guys that can shoot long distance, mid-range jumpers, drive-and-kick out, slashers, and of course, a decent pick-and-roll point guard. Take this phantom video [...]The post Phantom: Tyson Chandler’s Reverse Alley-Oop (Video...

The buzz lately is the New York Knicks organization pondered and pursued teams in an effort to trade Amar’e Stoudemire, which would have been the stupidest move all year.
When you look around the NBA you don’t see teams trading away their talent.
Until you stop at the Knicks for a moment and, “oh them” crosses your mind. Then you think about before Stoudemire arrived and...

Wow, what a story. Everyone knows about Kris Humphries and his little "marriage" as some people call it to Kim Kardashian. Everyone also most likely knows that Kanye West is hitting that now. What you don't know is that DJs in New York City night clubs hate Kris Humphries as much as everyone else. Check out this story via the NY Daily News about DJs playing...

In the battle of the boroughs part three last night, the Knicks unleashed a play that the Nets couldn’t stop the whole night. It was a simple double pick and roll that took advantage of the Nets’ switching and the threat of Carmelo Anthony.
Raymond Felton gets the ball on the wing and begins to dribble towards the middle where two screens are being set for him.
The Nets switch...

Controlling the best record in the Eastern Conference with a 19-6 record, the New York Knicks do not currently have many losses to avenge, but they will be trying to do just that on Friday as they take on the Chicago Bulls at Madison Square Garden.
On December 8th, the Bulls beat a Carmelo-less Knicks team 93-85 in Chicago.
Anthony missed the game due to the laceration on his finger...
