Somewhere along the line, we all forgot that.
Anybody with a half a brain could look at the statistical comparison between Kevin Durant and LeBron James, and quickly establish the fact that James is having the better season.
Anybody with a whole brain could look past those statistics, and realize ...
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Nobody seems to view beauty in the person of Bobby Abreu.
Abreu is less than mildly appreciated throughout baseball, not for what he does, but rather what he doesn't do.
Will he smack 40 home runs a season?
No.
Will he steal 40 bases a season?
Ditto.
However, it is the little things Bobby Abreu does that make him deserving of respect.
Lets play a little game I like ...
LeBron, D-Wade, and Melo To Be Teammates? How It Could Happen
Posted: 4th April 2010 by Mike A in NBA
Yes it could happen.
Three of the NBA's five best players could be teammates as soon as 2011.
How?
It's simple.
Unless you live under a rock, you probably know by now that Dwyane Wade and LeBron James are free agents this summer.
Unless you've been in a coma the last two years, you probably know by now that the New York Knicks would give anything to get them.
When I say everything, I mean Zach Randolph, ...
Mythbusters: Proving Patrick Ewing Was More Clutch Than Reggie Miller
Posted: 3rd April 2010 by Mike A in NBA
It was Game 7 of the 1995 Eastern Conference Finals. All Knicks fans remember it as the day when they jumped from their seats and screamed the same thing:
"Ewing dunk the damn ball!!!!!!!!"
It was Game 1 of 1995 Eastern Conference Semifinals. Knicks fans may better remember it as the day the hopped out of their seats with tears in their eyes and screamed:
"Eight points in nine seconds? Really!"
It was moments like these ...
Dear LeBron James: Why Signing with the New York Knicks Should be a No-Brainer
Posted: 2nd April 2010 by Mike A in NBA
Dear LeBron James,
Do you want to be immortal?
Do you want to be king?
Do you want to be the greatest of all time?
Because if you do and I'm sure you do, then there is only one place to go: New York.
Frank Sinatra once sang, "If I can make it there, I'll make it anywhere, its up to you, New York, New York."
Or what about your boy, Jay Z, wasn't he the ...

Gods of the Garden: The Mount Rushmore of the New York Knicks
Posted: 30th March 2010 by Mike A in NBA
Naming the four best athletes in the history of any franchise is no easy task, let alone the New York Knicks.
Although the Knicks only have two NBA titles, there is certainly no loss of star power in the team's history.
Narrowing the rich history of the Knicks to four players was no easy task. But here are—at least, in my opinion—the four Knicks most deserving of being carved in stone.
1. Willis ...
Dear Baseball Fans,
You can say what you want about Alex Rodriguez, but you can't say he doesn't care.
Since the day he reached the major leagues at the ripe age of 18, he has done nothing but beg and plead for our respect, and in return we have done nothing more then point out his faults.
I mean sure, each and every one of us has recognized his greatness since he was in high ...
Chris Berman is a broadcasting legend.
Finding a sports fan who doesn't know who he is would be hard, but finding one that doesn't like him might be even harder.
He attended Brown University, but you certainly can't tell with his wacky behavior when covering any sporting event.
Berman is creative, funny, and smart, what more could you ask for?
So without further ado, I give you the 20 greatest "Bermanisms" of all ...
Meet The New York Mets: Five Questions That Could Make Or Break The Mets Season
Posted: 27th March 2010 by Mike A in MLB
Last season the New York Mets were the favorite of many to take the National League. This year, not so much.
The Mets are definitely capable of having a huge season, but why should we believe that this is the year that they live up to the potential that has surrounded them so long?
A lot has changed for the boys from Flushing, New York in the space of a year.
While the ...
