MSG Network Tapping Into Linsanity to Lure Switch
Linsanity lives. I won’t belabor the point. What’s not to love, though? And in this insane world where Jeremy Lin reigns supreme, this may rank up there at the top of the heap of things that would’ve gotten you committed to a straightjacket not too long ago. Imagine if only a month ago, anyone would’ve [...]
What if Chris Paul was a Knick?
Close your eyes for a moment. Imagine a Knicks team without Tyson Chandler. Picture a floor with Melo, Stat, Landry Fields, [insert someone here] and Iman Shumpert/Toney Douglas/Mike Bibby/Baron Davis/Jeremy Lin. Now, imagine Shumpert/Douglas/Bibby/Davis/Lin is…Chris…Paul. – DRAMATIC PAUSE – Open your eyes. No, it’s not real. Despite early rumblings this past fall, any reality of [...]
D’AINTonio: Mike D’Antoni Not the Man for Knicks
Some experiments fail. It happens. You just need to admit defeat and not hold on to those missteps for too long. It’s come time to move on for the New York Knicks. Mike D’Antoni has coached this squad for 266 games. He’s won 110. Yes, there’s more to the story. But when you’re making six [...]
Markel Brown with Dunk of the Year?
Oklahoma State’s Markel Brown didn’t get to participate in the final seven minutes of his squad’s huge upset win last night over #2-ranked Missouri. No matter. His teammates went on a late run to cement the victory and Brown can take solace in the fact that he may be the leading early candidate for college [...]
Dear Time Warner: Keep MSG and the Knicks Off the Air
I work a lot. I enjoy coming home, catching up with the Mrs., grabbing a bit to eat and, if I’m lucky, catching perhaps the last few minutes of a Knicks game. That “luxury” is now gone due to the rift between Time Warner Cable and MSG. At first, this bothered me. Now, my view [...]
Five NBA “Throwback” Unis to Bring Back (Permanently)
Here at The Legend we tend to get a bit nostalgic about our sports from time to time. So, it shouldn’t be much of a surprise when we think that some things should go back to being the way they used to be. Because, such things, would unquestionably make the world a better place…at least [...]
St. John’s Red Storm Boast Best Named Roster in Country?
I’ve not paid a huge amount of attention to Johnnies hoops in these parts in quite some time. Truth be told, I’d love them to become more relevant and think Lavin is the right man for the job. Right now, though, the Red Storm is a middling 5-5 on the season and have suffered through [...]
Cincinnati Drops Ball on Yancy Gates Suspension
No pictures. No video. No need to continue passing around the nonsense. I’ve got only one thing to say about the Cincinnati Bearcats’ six-game suspension of Yancy Gates following his role in the ugly brawl that stopped this weekend’s rivalry game between Xavier and Cincy with 9.4 ticks left on the clock. WEAK. W-E-A-K. Mike [...]
Duran-tula Loose In Harlem
It is likely that many of you have already seen this video, it’s gone viral.***Sidenote, isn’t “gone viral” a terrible term to describe something that has made it big on the internet? I don’t want anything viral to have anything to do with my computer. Last I heard, viruses are bad for computers.**** I think [...]
Dear Mom: Sorry to Break This to You…
So…ummm…mom…I didn’t know how to break this to you. This venue seems about as good as any. Yes, mother, that’s Kevin Durant. Those are his tattoos. Oh, and one last thing, it doesn’t change anything. So, where am I going with all this? Let me see, because as I compose this I’m not exactly sure. [...]
