Dick Vitale Couldn't Hear The People Interviewing Him, But That Made The Segment No Less Informative
They're talking a lot of college basketball on the television now. Dick Vitale's the only man in the country who understands it. He knows what's up, and you don't. Certainly the overcaffeinated hosts on WGN's morning show don't. So that's why they're consulting Dickie V. Of course, he can't hear t...

Marcus Camby Wrecked Landry Fields With A Flagrant Foul
Former New York Knick Marcus Camby clearly doesn't have much love for his former team, or maybe he was just frustrated by the ass-kicking the newly-D'Antoni-free New York squad was handing his Trail Blazers. Either way, he put the hit out on Landry Fields and earned a Flagrant 2 for it (reduced t...

Oh, you didn't think Mike D'Antoni would go in peace, did you? You didn't think this story would pass without details of hilarious standoffs between D'Antoni and Jimmy Dolan, did you? And you didn't think Mike D'Antoni would leave without all his money, did you?...
JaVale McGee Did Another JaVale McGee Thing Last Night
We already showed you JaVale McGee's, um, pass to Jason Kidd from last night. And we still think what happened Monday, when he cherry-picked after trying to catch a pass with his face before giving up, is without equal in McGee's ceaseless catalogue of hilarity, a virtuoso blend of the sort of low...
Just A Reminder That Knicks Ticket Prices Are Still Going Up

Mike D'Antoni Resigns As Knicks Coach
At 1:44, we received an email saying Mike D'Antoni was stepping down as Knicks coach. It supposedly came "straight from the D'Antoni family," but we hadn't dealt with the source before, couldn't confirm, and wasn't particularly the kind of thing that's worth getting wrong....

There was no Knicks game last night. But the Knicks—the doomed, imploding Knicks—are today's big sports news in New York, even if Carmelo Anthony hasn't really requested a trade, even if Mike D'Antoni is secure in his coaching job*, even if the last game the team played was a tight road loss in Chic...
