The hottest team versus the hottest story. Linsanity is on its way to Miami.
Speaking of winning, some interesting news surrounding the Yankees' 2010 campaign...
Not much heat from the Hawks for Jeremy Lin and the New York Knicks. That's likely to change Thursday night when the show travels to Miami for Lin versus LeBron and some real Heat.
The New York Knicks, they were all about the 3's. The Miami Heat, they welcomed back No. 3. Advantage, Heat.
Carmelo Anthony is dealing with an array of thumb, wrist and ankle problems and is perhaps taking his cue from how Dwyane Wade dealt with his most recent injury.
Everything crystallized for me as I watched the Knicks get beat by the Cavs in the 4th quarter last night. Right now the Knicks simply aren't that good because their players aren't very good.
Kris Humphries tied a career high with 25 points and grabbed 12 rebounds for the Nets, who shot just 33.7 percent in front of a sellout crowd of 18,711. Deron Williams had 10 points and 10 assists but was just 4 of 16 from the field.
LeBron James and the Miami Heat couldn't keep the Dallas Mavericks from winning the most recent NBA championship. They did a nice job, however, of getting the Mavs' title defense off to an ugly start.
John Schmeelk gives Knicks fans the rundown on what expect in the 2011-12 season. Can the Knicks make a magic run? Here's what to watch for this season...
Davis' desire to play in New York outweighed the chance to play with Kobe Bryant or LeBron James.
The Knicks have a huge hole at point guard they need to fill if they want to be considered true top tier championship contenders.
The Knicks signed veteran guard Mike Bibby and re-signed Jared Jeffries. Bibby's addition may force out Chauncey Billups.
Sure, the Knicks will be a playoff team this year -- and there's a great chance they will actually have home court advantage in the first round of the playoffs. But they are not ready to compete with teams like Dallas.
LeBron James' fourth-quarter struggles in the NBA finals are still a talking point, even with the series now over. Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez knows a little something about under performing in the postseason. A-Rod told The Post on Tuesday that fans should cool off on King James.
Knicks forward Amar'e Stoudemire knows Mike D'Antoni's strength. It lies in the run-and-gun offense. But for New York to follow Dallas and be the next franchise to win an NBA title, Stoudemire says the Knicks need something more from their coach.
While we should focus on how good Dallas was (as opposed to how bad LeBron James was), it's hard to listen to LeBron talk and not root against the guy.
Before we start, everyone needs to slow their roll. LeBron James had a bad series but he is still a great player.
LeBron James took his talents to South Beach to win titles, so he'd have All-Star help around him. Former Mavericks point guard Derek Harper told WFAN's Benigno & Roberts that LeBron made the right move -- King James just doesn't have what it takes to do it alone.
LeBron James' season is over, with no more hardware to show for it than the Knicks, Nets or any other team he spurned last summer.
Jerry Recco worked through multiple distractions and went on to deliver a fantastic update on Monday, highlighted by the Dallas Mavericks being crowned NBA Champions in South Beach.
The Dallas Mavericks beat the Heat last night in Miami 105-95. By doing so, they captured the franchise's first ever NBA championship. Dirk Nowitzki was named the NBA Finals MVP and LeBron James' image took a huge, huge hit.
Jason Terry scored 27 points, Nowitzki added 21 and the Mavericks topped the Miami Heat 105-95 in Game 6 of the NBA finals on Sunday night. The Mavericks won four of the series' last five games, a turnabout that could not have been sweeter after seeing the Heat celebrate their first title in Dallas after Game 6 of the 2006 finals.
"I wouldn't say it's too much. I don't think so," James said. "I don't feel like I'm hurting my team for the time I'm out there. I don't feel like it's too much."
The time was bound to come when LeBron James would have to step back into the spotlight to help the Heat win. It came last night when Dwyane Wade injured his hip. It was his moment, and he didn't seize it.
Dirk Nowitzki waited five long years for that elusive third victory over Miami, yet there was only a short celebration when it finally came. He briefly thrust both arms in the air, a sea of blue screaming around him, but then quickly walked off the floor.
