According to ESPN’s Marc Stein, Jason Kidd will sign a mutli-year contract with the New York Knicks. With Jeremy Lin visiting and getting an offer from the Houston Rockets, the Knicks felt compelled to make a move. They landed a veteran with championship experience that can hopefully figure how to play with Carmelo Anthony, Amar’e Stoudemire, and Tyson Chandler.
I’ve been unbelievably busy lately and it’s been really hard to do what I love and that’s discuss sports right here on The Sport Scholar but today I decided I HAVE to make some time to post something about the New York Knicks – Boston Celtics game 3 tonight from Madison Square Garden. There hasn’t been a playoff game in MSG since 2004 and the Knicks haven’t won a playoff game since 2001. This series has been unbelievable so far and unfortunately due to poor management and coaching, the 2-0 series lead the Celtics hold doesn’t represent how close this series really has been. The unbelievable guts and heart that the Knicks, especially Carmelo Anthony, showed in game 2 is something most Knicks’ fans won’t forget for a long time. I decided to post Carmelo’s intro video from is his first game as a Knick because tonight the playoffs come home to MSG and the Knicks NEED another monster night from ‘Melo (times that by 1000 if Amar’e and Chauncey can’t go tonight).
In honor of tonight’s big MSG debut for Carmelo Anthony on New York Knicks Legend Night, this week’s Wordless Wednesday pictue is dedicated to this prophetic image:
Yo Stat, I'll see you at the Garden next week.
