I Love This Game
Throwing out a 2 banger today. Considering all the shit that I've said about the Knicks in the last year at least I know one thing: they are really entertaining.
This LB-Starbury feud has reached all time heights. By this point it basically has amounted to Larry Brown calling Stephon Marbury a loser while Marbury says he won't listen to his coach.
If it weren't for the most enjoyable losing team in sports, the Warriors, in my backyard, I'd be all over the Knicks.
All I can think about when I think about the Knicks is the second greatest sports movie of all time.
It was about a team with a ton of super talents that just couldn't mesh. Everyone thought that they were better than the next.
Despite some huge offseason spending and tremendous expectations from the team's wild fans, the club underperformed.
Even the team's colorful announcer couldn't take it.
What is this mystery team, and in what mystery film were they immortalized?
I'll give you a hint. This team was able to overcome their problems after they traded their star player/clubhouse downer for an underappreciated Japanese outfielder.
The movie was Major League II and the deal was Jack Parkman for Hiroshi "Kamakazi" Tanaka.
The move for Tanaka changed the mood in the Indians clubhouse. All of a sudden, egos were tossed aside, Willie Mays Hayes was running, and Pedro Cerrano was ditching his peaceful meditation.
So if it worked in ML II it has to work in real life.
Therefore, it is my expert opinion that the Knicks should trade Starbury (Jack Parkman, though far less cool) for Ha Seung Jin, the 7'3, 300 lb sharpshooter journeyman who never really got the love in the NBA.
Imagine Ha Seung questioning Stevey Franchise's "Marbles." If that wouldn't wake up the Franchise I don't know what would.
In all honesty though, if Isiah doesnt get fired in the next 2 months I don't know what I'm gonna do. I'd like to be able to do something to make it happen, but I can't say I'm brimming with optimism given that Isiah still has a job when the team is 18-45 and has zero hope for the future.
Anyway, enjoy the second best day of the year, the first day of March Madness.
I live for this shit...
