After his sudden departure from the Memphis Grizzlies, Allen Iverson may sign with another NBA team quicker than most people thought.
According to SI.com, the president of the New York Knicks is planning to make a move in order to get Iverson to New York. Donnie Walsh confirmed yesterday that he is interested in signing the former league MVP.  Apparently Iverson is interested in playing for Mike D’Antoni and living in the Big Apple.
What I don’t understand is that the Knicks passed on Iverson over the summer. So why are they interested in him now? Probably because their season is already …read more

Sin City has begun laying the groundwork for an NBA team. I mean, if Oklahoma can have one, why can’t Las Vegas?
Mayor Oscar Goodman seems to agree since he has already moved forward with plans to build a 20,000-seat arena. According to SI.com, Goodman has fought long and hard to persuade NBA execs that Las Vegas would be the perfect city for an NBA team.

Spanish point guard Ricky Rubio is getting tons of publicity. Many scouts believe he’ll be one of the top two or three picks in the 2009 NBA Draft. However, don’t count fellow point guard prospect Brandon Jennings among the impressed. According to an SI.com article, Jennings had some stern words regarding Rubio.
“Yeah, I think I’m a better player than he is,” said Jennings. “I just shoot the ball better than he can. The only thing I’ve seen him do sometimes is when he has a home-run pass or something like that. I think the dude is just all hype. I …read more

Many young and talented ballers cannot wait to get to the NBA. They look at  their college career as a stepping stone to something bigger and better, and nothing else. The degree doesn’t much matter, since they will be raking in the dough at the professional level anyway.
Those individuals that decide to stay in college for all four years are few and far between.
Tyler Hansbrough stayed at UNC and amassed numerous national accolades as well a national championship. Add a college degree to the mix and I’d say that he made a smart decision.
Stephen Curry is now wrestling with the …read more

According to SI.com, Kidd said that when he becomes a free agent this summer, he would consider the New York Knicks because of his love of coach Mike D’Antoni and the Garden itself.
