OfficiaL '16 NYK offseason thread, Melo goes to bodega in bathrobe and Olympic hat

[goldenchild9]

Kellerman used to be one of my favorite voices in sports commentary but he's been saying more and more nonsensical stuff lately.

Like riding for Pacquiao over Floyd simply because he's signed to HBO.

Makes sense now that I hear he'll be replacing Skip.

 

[ny mavurs]

At least Max will be less of a troll right?

 

[njavier03]

so our roster is

rose/jennings
lee/holiday
melo/thomas/kuzminksas
kp/hernangomez
noah/plumlee

who else are we getting?

you forgot KOQ

the last roster spot has to go to a guard, preferably Chasson Randle

 

[ny mavurs]

That was quick

NBATV got that '99 Finals going on

Nickmaz probably in the crowd in those diapers

 

[njavier03]

we should sign all the hometown scrubs like telfair, skip to my lou, balkman, blatche, cle and anybody else just to get us to the 15 man roster

Those 99 finals were the first time I ever watched the Knicks play.

 

[nick.]

Cesar would play for the minimum

I just grew a gray hair because of this statement. I been watching the knicks since sugar ray and micheal ray had the whole back court smelling like cracks...

 

[pr0phecy718]

I started in '94.

 

[al3xis]

'93. I have the Charles Smith game on VHS somewhere.

 

[GaBeGRaMz]

I started in '94.

About the same. I remember it specifically being during a Knicks/Bulls playoff series. Maybe it was 93 cause Jordan was still there...

I was a big Jordan fan, hate him now, still respect his game. Most kids around my age, which was 9 at the time, were Jordan fans. But something hit me during this series. As I paid more attention to the actual games, instead of being caught up in the "Air Jordan" thing, I felt like I related to the Knicks a whole lot more. And the fans as well. I remember back in the days in the seaport, one of the piers had a pizza spot on the top floor with t.v.'s in the food court and they had one of the games on. The pizza area was like a sports bar. Dudes yelling at the t.v., cheering. Super exciting to a young bul like myself. Those hard nose gritty Knicks teams really represented what the city and me specifically were about. I was a fighter growing up.

And then they had that song....

Go New York go New York go!

Liiiiit.

 

[pr0phecy718]

I was an ******* in '95 because I jumped on the magic bandwagon. Oh well that team was exciting lol

 

[Sonny Corinthos]

I started watching hoops in the late 80's , My Dad took me to a Knicks game against the Bad Boys. The crowd kept chanting Laimbeer is a pig

Me too. :\

As a kid, they were the kids team. That new shiney toy. The court was always a stand out to me. The brightness coming from the arena. The mascot. Penny. Shaq. Liiiit.

 

[harlemtothebronx]

 @ Max Kellerman.

Tony Reali taking over PTI for him went so well. Dude was Stat Boy for 15 years. Didn't realize he left PTI for GMA.

ESPN knows their audience with this hire, thoguh. That's for sure.

 

[Air Pope]

Max Kellerman reading his "Skip Bayless for dummies" handbook

 

[ballinsam23]

is there no more Knicks basketball till training camp starts?

 

[pr0phecy718]

Unless if you count the Olympics...

 

[squatchnt]

I started going with my pops when I couldn't even remember going. He was crew with one of the higher security people and we usually ended up close to the floor. My pee wee league # was 34 in honor of the King. Kept it all the way through college

Please share

 

[Sonny Corinthos]

I remember when Tim Duncan was a freshman , I still got his Nike Wake jersey in my closet somewhere.

 

[Hahahaha]

Max Kellerman ain't been the same since he got fired/quit Around the Horn.

Yeah, he was dope a few years ago. I still respect him on HBO but I think ESPN is trying to get him to troll or some ****. He's wack as **** now.
