Before the 2011-12 season began, no one in the basketball world thought a Harvard alum named Jeremy Lin would become the Tim Tebow-like figure in the NBA. And no one in their right mind thought the New York Knicks would let their media darling slip between their fingers. Well, as of Tuesday's 10:59 p.m. CST deadline to sign the offer sheet by
At this point, this debate has been well discussed, analyzed and picked through with a thinned tooth comb. This topic has been on just about every sports radio program, some news radio programs, every TV channel (absolutely every channel) and is the top button issue at every barber shop around the country. And it should be. Let's face it,
Sometime this week, Mike Woodson is expected to drop the "interim" and officially be named the head coach of the New York Knicks. Woodson, who took over after Mike D'antoni and the team parted ways, finished the season 18-6 with the 7th seed in the playoffs. That playoff run was not very deep though, as the Knicks were bounced out of the
The Knicks finished the season going 18-6 after parting ways with D'Antoni. Carmelo caught fire in April, scoring just under 30 per (29.8), and shooting 46% from the field and behind the arc.

The city of Los Angeles is the home to four of the Western Conferences' starters as Kobe Bryant and Andrew Bynum represent the Lakers and Chris Paul and Blake Griffin represent
The NBA lockout replacement of the Homecoming Tour LeBron James, Dwayne Wade, Carmelo Anthony and Chris Paul were going to throw in December is officially cancelled.

Throughout the NBA lockout ordeal there has been a group of NBA superstars who have continued to play in front of large crowds outside of NBA venues. The four amigos of LeBron James, Dwayne Wade, Carmelo Anthony and Chris Paul are going to host a tour taking place in the star's hometowns or in Paul's case, where he has played basketball during his
The "Answer" aka Allen Iverson is going to host a two-day basketball tournament in Las Vegas. Yes, one of the best scorers the NBA has ever seen is not done with basketball just yet. The man who saved the Philadelphia 76ers from being the worst team in the league in the late 1990's and early 2000's is partnering up with Justice Entertainment
