:rofl:

@ 2010's post...I had to go back and read that twice to make sure I read it right.

I would also like to add that I have never been against drafting Shump. I have always liked the pick.

Crawford's problem was the inability to defend his position due to being scrawny and shot selection. So with Iman, it all boils down to shot selection and to a lesser extent, running the offense. Well with Amar'e and Melo ahead of him on the food chain and with Chauncey whispering sweet nothings in his ear, caressing his inner ear drum with his tongue, and making love to his ear lobe...I am convinced all BBIQ concerns will be alleviated.

Dude, you were making a decent point then it got weird....
You need some serious therapy...

For some reason, I cant stop laughing at this :lol:

Don't listen to him dude - You need to go whole hog and become the Knicks board version of:

"What is love?
What is this longing in our hearts for togetherness?
Is it not the sweetest flower?
Does not this flower of love have the fragrant aroma of fine, fine diamonds?
Does not the wind love the dirt? Is not love not unlike the unlikely not it is unlikened to?
Are you with someone tonight?
Do not question your love.
Take your lover by the hand.
Release the power within yourself.
Your heard me, release the power.
Tame the wild cosmos with a whisper.
Conquer heaven with one intimate caress.
That's right don't be shy.
Whip out everything you got, and do it in the butt."

"Is not love not unlike the unlikely not it is unlikened to?"

Man that line just gave me a serious headache! Can someone interpret that? Lol

From Steve Kyler's chat on Hoopsworld today:

freddy la hoops in Gardening, in the Madison Square:
I recall you liking iman shumpert, many NYC'ers don't get him over singelton. Tell me what you liked about him that wil change our minds?

Steve Kyler:
Great kid... very humble and a hard worker.

I spent a few days with him at IMG and he just jumps out of the building. He is a great athlete. He shoots the ball well. He is long and a decent defender. He can run the point or play the two... one of the best players I saw this summer.

He also has experience feeding other... he played with Gani Lawal and derrick favors at Georgia Tech so he knows what it means to set other guys up.

As for changing your minds, you'll have to see him play.

Except that he really sucked doing that. What's so great about experience of not being able to get your big men the ball.

lol someone from the Knicks organization said we had to get a defensive guy... so I was like.. why didn't you get singleton who was the best defender? You guys could have bough a second round pick and drafted this guy...

This was adressed by our former GM. Now go back to your board and worry about your team.

Most level-headed fans really like the pick now. Poo-poing him over singleton is just dumb when you realize he has the bigger upside.

I don't get the infatuation with Singleton. He reminds me of Jared Jeffries with a better but still sucky jumpshot and I really don't want to watch another Jeffries on the fields.

There wasn't even a spot for Singleton in our frontcourt. People are just fake-hustling like he was a better option just as another reason to hate on the Knicks.
