I know the Knicks signed Cam Payne, but this dude Kolek is NICE! If he gets his chance, he could become one of the best back up pgs QUICKLY! Lefty, shifty, unselfish, sees the floor, and TOUGH! He reminds me of another point guard and he happens to be the starter on the Knicks!!!

Ok I’m going to do this and I got two questions for the @NJSIAA 1 Why AN ASSISTANT DIRECTOR IS HUDDLED UP WITH THE OFFICIALS? He shouldn’t be anywhere near this? 2. The referees DID leave the floor, so they can’t reverse the made shot…… The more I see, the more upset I’m

The conspiracy of Derryk Sellers continues: before he was the @NJSIAA Assistant Director, he was at Lindenwold High School. I’m not a geography major, but isn’t Lindenwold next to Camden. You should all be ashamed yourselves. The more people send me, the more I’m putting YALL

For anyone that is around my age, that music brings me to back to my childhood. This has me so juiced up for tonight’s season opener. And having it on #NBC makes me feel like all is right in the basketball world again! @SportsGrid #NBA #NBAonNBC

So now we have confirmation of the assistant director of the @NJSIAA, the AD of Camden HS, AND the assistant coach influencing the referees (god I would LOVE to know what was said). Especially by someone who works for the STATE. Survive and advance huh…..

Alright Knicks fans, here is a video of my thoughts on the team after re-watching last nights game. I always like to look at film the next day so I get a clear perspective. In this video, I discuss. 1. Our young centers Hukporti and Skapintsev 2. Dadiet improvement and his

Update: taking a few days off @SportsGrid to mourn the loss of my mom Beverly, who passed away yesterday afternoon. Mom was a BIG fan of what I do and really enjoyed listening to me and the rest of the crew talk hoops. My best bet of the day: I will be back on air before the

There’s been a LOT of noise since the Arkansas vs. St. John’s game about Coach Rick Pitino benching Big East Player RJ Luis for the final 4:56… and as a coach, I may be in the minority here, but guess what? I don’t care — and I think Coach Pitino handled it the right way.

I found Coach McCaffrey to be completely engaged. There is still a fire in his belly and there’s no doubt in my mind that he should be coaching next year. If you look at his track record, what he’s done over the course of his career, he’s always built programs. Now, imagine if he
