If Carmelo Anthony somehow manages to lead the New York Knicks to an NBA championship this season, Boomer Esiason will walk across the Brooklyn Bridge in Knicks' boxer shorts.
In what can best be described as a grab bag segment, the guys spoke about a number of topics. It started with Craig bringing up how Spike Lee caught a bat while attending a Yankee game over the weekend.
The great Jerry "Rello" Recco gave us his first update of the morning.
Boomer and Carton made their triumphant return to the airwaves this morning, and they came ready to dish on the latest news regarding the Jeremy Lin contract saga.
Carmelo Anthony said Sunday it's up to the New York Knicks to decide if they want to match the "ridiculous contract" that the Houston Rockets have offered Jeremy Lin.
The common argument out there is simply that Jeremy Lin is not worth 15 million dollars in his final season. No, he isn't, but that doesn't matter one lick from a basketball perspective.
Jason Kidd was arrested in Southampton for DWI. The police report says Kidd struck a telephone pole and then drove into the woods around 2 a.m.
Raymond Felton is returning to New York, calling into question whether the Knicks plan to re-sign fellow point guard Jeremy Lin.
Lin, at this point in his career, is a nice player. He can handle the ball decently and he can score fairly well while leading his team's offense. But that's it. He's not a great ball player by any stretch.
The Houston Rockets had Jeremy Lin in training camp last December. Now they want him back. Lin has signed an offer sheet with Houston.
Jason Kidd said he was comfortable backing up Jeremy Lin - at the start of games. He still wants to be on the court at the end and hinted he and Lin could share the floor then.
Newest recruit Steve Nash makes the universally hated Lakers instantly more-likeable.
Jason Kidd is a 10-time NBA All-Star, a five-time All-NBA First Team selection, a four-time NBA All-Defensive First Team selection and an NBA Champion. But he won't be starting for the Knicks next season.
After an article in the Daily News yesterday, a lot of Jeremy Lin talk has dominated the Knicks' scene. Lin, nothing short of a phenomenon last year, is starting to see the dark side of being the man in the spotlight in New York.
Woodson said Lin will be staying put, in New York and as the Knicks' starting point guard.
The New York Knicks have signed free-agent swingman James White.
By all accounts, the Knicks are expected to match Lin's offer sheet from the Houston Rockets, reportedly worth around $29 million over four years. But they might have some explaining to do.
Free agents in the NBA could finally sign contracts starting at 12:01 a.m. EDT Wednesday, and the Brooklyn Nets wasted no time getting their All-Star point guard to put pen to paper — well, iPad actually.
With Marcus Camby returning to Madison Square Garden, the present-day New York Knicks are resembling their defensive-strong teams of the late 1990s. Who is to say that New York can't be the third-best team in the East?
Clearly on the downside of his career at age 38, Camby still provides a lot of value for the Knicks off the bench. He averaged nine rebounds in only 23 minutes, good enough for one of the best rates in the NBA.
New York was expected to re-sign the free agent this offseason. When asked by a fan on Monday night to consider Los Angeles, Smith tweeted, "Sorry but im a #KNICK!"
The Rockets would get guard Toney Douglas, forward Josh Harrellson, center Jerome Jordan, second-round picks in 2014 and 2015, along with cash to pay Douglas' salary, according to the report.
Novak's agent, Mark Bartelstein, said Monday the deal is a reward for a player who finally got his opportunity and took advantage of it. The Knicks claimed Novak after he was waived by San Antonio and he went on to lead the NBA in 3-point shooting at 47.2 percent.
Jason Kidd doesn't have enough left to be a true difference maker on the court at age 39, but his off the court skills is what can really help the Knicks become a better team.
The newest Knick, Jason Kidd, joined WFAN's Joe Benigno and Evan Roberts on WFAN to talk about what role he'll play with his new team.
