My first pro game.



Last night I went to the Knicks vs Magic game in MSG.  It is my first ever pro basketball game.  It was a lot of fun.  I can not believe how fast the players play.  I have watched years and years of college basketball and I do not remember ever seeing a college game go that fast.  It was unbelievable.  The athletes in the NBA are ridiculous.

Nate Robinson NYK really had an impact on me.  He was the spark plug on NY.  He went 1000mph all the time, never stopping.  His spin moves where lightning quick and he has a really explosive first few steps.  

Dwight Howard from the magic is one of the best big guys I think I have ever seen.  He had a double double within seven min of the game.  He is really quick off of his feat for a big man.  I think in a couple of years when he gets stronger he will go down as one of the all time greats.  He is going to be a real terror on the league.

Bye Bye Marbury!


Fianally the saga of Starbury and Knicks has ended.  The Knicks have finally unloaded the most useless player in the NBA.  He hasnt played a game since last January, when they needed him this year he refused to play.  Marbury has talent, I wont deny that, but every team that he goes to blows up.  Basketball is about a team, but he thinks he should be the only one that has a spotlight.  I think he has maybe been in the playoff once or twice in his 13 year career.  Once he leaves a team they get a lot better.  See the Nets, the Suns and now the Knicks.  In fact the Knick fans should thank him for leaving, because now they can be a contender again, and clear up room to get LBJ.

The Celtics are the team that want to sign Marbury and he has basically said that he will play for them.  I know the Celtics need people to come off of the bench or be a cheerleader like Cassel was on the bench, but Marbury is not that person.  He is going to be very rusty, he has stayed away from the Knicks for the entire year, he will be in game shape when the season is over.  But the Celtics say that they have a really chemistry in the locker room, now they are really going to have to prove it.
