The Return of the Obnoxious Knick Fan

With the resurgence of the New York Knicks and the addition of Carmelo Anthony, that could only mean one thing.

The return of the crazy, over the top, obnoxious New Your Knick fan.  New York is a great basketball city and I'm sure the pulse at the Garden has been kicked up a notch.

Here's some videos from the past showing Knicks fans at their best.

In this one, one fan even predicted the coming of Carmelo Anthony.

Here are some Knicks fans doing what they do best, acting nutty at the NBA Draft.  Although the guy is right.

How about a "Fire Isiah" chant at MSG?

The Knicks booing before they even make their draft pick in 2006.

Thursday Night NBA Play of the Night: Magic at Heat

The Magic visit the Heat tonight in a battle of two of the best teams in the East.

The home team owns this series, but the games can be close.  Orlando is 8-3 ATS in their last 11 Thu. games.  That means something to me.  This should be a fun game to watch.  The Heat are favored by 5.

I'm looking for a close game tonight, so the Magic are the play.

The Magic might not win, but they will cover with the 5.  Take the Magic.

Big XII Basketball Play of the Day for 2/26/11: Iowa State

A pick em game today in Ames.  Nebraska is looking to improve on their 18-9 record and Iowa State is looking to earn their second conference win.

Neither team has much going for it in the trends department, I just think we may see some good ole Hilton Magic today as the season draws closer to tournament time. 

The Cornhuskers won earlier this season by one point in Lincoln.  Look for the Cyclones to get some much needed revenge today.

Prediction:  Iowa State and the Under today in Ames.

11-year old Hits Half-Court Shot, Wins Pizza for a Year

Pizza party at the Collins'!

That is sure to be the case for the next year in Kennesaw, GA. 

Collins hit a half-court shot at halftime of Thursday's game at Kennesaw State, earning him complimentary pizza from Papa John's through next February.  No word on if he gets a year's supply of garlic dipping sauce as well.

Watch the video and the reaction from his buddy under the basket.  The kid knew it was in right away.

Congrats to Cody Collins.
