Shannon “Shan-wow” Brown is known as a dunker and nothing else. He got some national spotlight when he was with the Lakers, but has since vanished from the minds of NBA fans. I wasn’t even really aware that he was on the Knicks or that he was even in the league this year. This tells…

Amar’e Stoudemire 24 Points/5 Dunks Full Highlights (4/11/2014)
Amar’e Stoudemire, alone in his dingy one-bedroom apartment, sat down at his rickety desk. Even this small amount of movement caused him to wince in pain and clutch his back. The sand in his life’s hourglass was quickly running down to nothing, and there was important business to attend to. “Dear Steve,” he wrote. “I…
Read MoreTim Hardaway Jr. 17 Points Full Highlights (3/25/2014)
For a team that still has playoff aspirations, the Knicks didn’t show much in their blowout loss to the Lakers last night. Where’s the urgency? Do they suck because they ‘don’t know how to win’? Does the other team ‘want it more than them’? It baffles me that sports pundits and commentators still use phrases…
Read MoreAmar’e Stoudemire 22 Points/5 Dunks Full Highlights (3/21/2014)
That fat lady is still up there, singing her heart out. Amar’e Stoudemire still has something to offer a team. Is that team the Knicks? Probably. His unique skillset of not playing defense and getting hot once every other game is well suited to the Knicks. If he got traded to, say, a contender, they…
Read MoreTim Hardaway Jr. 22 Points Full Highlights (3/12/2014)
You have 10 seconds to give me one compelling reason that Tim Hardaway Jr. shouldn’t win the Rookie of the Year award. Time’s up. I thought so. No, “MCW has better stats” does not qualify as a compelling reason. I bet Hardaway could get some pretty sick stats too if he was given the keys…
Read MoreCole Aldrich Career High 12 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (3/12/2014)
It only makes sense that, in his first career start, Cole Aldrich would score a career high. This is the first time any team has had enough confidence in him (actually every other big on the Knicks is dead and Cole is not, but that’s basically the same thing as confidence anyway) for him to…
Read MoreAmar’e Stoudemire 23 Points Full Highlights (3/10/2014)
The Knicks commentators seem to be fond of saying “STAT’s back”. Not his back like the thing that is totally mangled, but his returning to the quality of play from his old days. And if you watch these highlights, it certainly seems true. He still has the power, finishing through contact with ease. He can…
Read MoreTim Hardaway Jr. 28 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (3/10/2014)
In the midst of the nightmare carnival that is the Knicks’ season, there isn’t much to be happy about. Carmelo Anthony is good, I guess. But Stoudemire is old and overpaid, they have a lame-duck coach, Spike Lee exists, Chandler doesn’t care any more, they don’t have a pick this year in a stacked draft,…
Read MoreAmar’e Stoudemire 22 Points Full Highlights (3/3/2014)
Perhaps Amar’e Stoudemire isn’t as done as we all thought. Maybe he just needs to start and be given the confidence to play his game. Because he looked pretty good tonight, on offense at least. He even had a nice drive and dunk that was reminiscent of his Phoenix days. Except for, you know, the…
Read MoreAmar’e Stoudemire 17 Points Full Highlights (2/7/2014)
Amar’e Stoudemire still has it! If you watch this video you will see it all: dunks, jumpers, and a layup. The component parts of Stoudemire’s game which served him so well in Phoenix. The dunks may not be as high-flying or as powerful, but the jumpers look pretty much the same. If you mess with…
