Michael Jordan passes the Shoe Torch to Dwayne Wade

The greatest ever and the greatest now...

Last night in Miami during the Jordan Brand Silver Anniversary conference, newly minted hall of famer Michael Jordan was joined by current Miami Heat star Dwayne Wade to unveil the much rumored Air Jordan 2010. The sneaker will make its way to store shelves on February 13th but Flash will  be the first to wear the shoe during the nationally televised Christmas day game versus the New York Knicks.

Orlando Hudson Dreams of Being a Met

Over the past few days there have been plenty of reports that the Mets are shopping second baseman Luis Castillo.  Castillo is set to earn $6 million next season and despite a productive 2009 year is looked upon by management as a liability.  Most Mets fans hated him before he dropped the infamous pop-up against the Yankees so you can imagine how the fan base feels about him now. 

See Yaaaaaaaaaa

Byron Scott ousted as New Orleans Hornets Head Coach

Chone What?? Mets eye Angels Figgins

How can you not want a guy named Chone?

The Mets are believed to be after Angels 2nd baseman Chone Figgins. Figgins who can also play all outfield positions including each position in the infield except for the pitcher and catcher is currently a free agent. He is a highly sought after player because of his ability to play anywhere on the diamond, has speed and decent glove skills.

I grew up in New York but was never a fan of the Knicks…

I wish this never happened

If you’re a late 20 something male New Yorker like myself I’m sure you’ve heard those words rapped by the late great Lamont Coleman, otherwise known as Big L. Big L for those who don’t know, was probably the dopest lyricist to ever come out of Harlem, not Jim Jones, Camron, Juelz Santana or God forbid Mase. He was unexpectedly taken from us in 1999 when he was slain outside of his apartment on 139th street. Though I never agreed with what he said there were definitely times in my life where I was close to ditching the Knicks.

In the words of Marv Albert: “Yesssss!!!!”

Knicks Hawked at Garden Lose 114-101

JC shoots over Chris Duhon in the 2nd Quarter

Last night the Knicks decided that it may be easier to win a game if they have a lead in the first half instead of being down by double digits. Good strategy but the result was the same, their 5th straight loss. The Hawks offensive array of players were just too talented for the Knicks to keep up with, as Atlanta completely dominated the 2nd half of the game last night en route to a 114-101 victory.

Capital Punishment: Islanders Squander Chances, Lose in Shoot-Out

After an eleven-round shootout in which the Islanders had eight chances to bury the Capitals, Washington’s Chris Clark scored the decisive goal and handed the Islanders their third shootout loss of the season.  With both teams coming off season highs in goals, you had a feeling this one would entertain.
