I still remember he said no one wants to play for the Knicks. Fond memories.

Taj always gave it his best, was a good soldier, and just aged out of the NBA. He is really the kind of influence we need in our coaching staff and I'd love to see him stay around to mentor our players. Also, no matter how old he is, he takes care of himself. Just a great guy all around, and I really appreciate him.

Is he going to retire? :cry:

Always a pleasure to have Taj around. We could sign 50 year old Taj and he would still be out there giving his all. Would be nice to see him back on the a coaching staff or some other capacity in the organization

Damn...he really did a lot for us. Took all the young guys under his wing. I remember him being really sad when IQ and RJ were traded.

Taj was also a hell of a player too when he was younger. Even developed a nice post game.

I’d be pissed if I were him, if they didn’t get Precious he’d probably get his money

Definitely in my top five. But nothing beats Buck and that block on MJ. Dude was a baller even at an advanced age. Pablo was too but moreso when he was 33/34/35...I think.
