Memory Lane

Actually when the Knicks had a 9 man rotation last year Thibs would often do that at the start of the 2nd quarter leaving just one starter in. Like Red, he didn't do it for very long.

I tried that when I was coaching youth soccer. You had to end the experiment early to avoid trauma.
 
Talk about memory lane--Knicks just won first two games at Boston. Fourth q rebounding and defense. Grit. We got ourselves a contender here, boys. Give Wright credit---he developed some players with that dog, we aint gonna lose mentality.

And like our Johnnies, they start slowly and get behind early. Then they come roaring back.
It reminded me that we would have beat Arkansas if Kadary hadn’t fouled out on such a terrible call.
I feel like I just played the game when watching the Johnnies, or Knicks .

Ty's daughter Tyra lost a tough 3 set match in first round of the Italian Open today. Tyra will be playing for Italy rather than the U.S. going forward. Her Mom is Italian and she grew up near Milan. She's only 17 and appears to have a promising future in tennis.

Likely more of a business decision than national pride. She will make more promotional money in Italy than in the crowded U.S. market. Tyrone was a big proponent of his kids representing the U.S. since they could walk.
Just as much as wanting his kids names to begin with TY.😉

When Red was in HS always thought he would join his former HS teammate Malik Sealy at St. John's. Seemed to be the perfect PG for us and also thought the other HS teammate that ended up at NC would come here. Remember a game at the Garden where Sealy was playing and his former HS teammates were cheering wildly for the Johnnies.

Brian Reese was the other Tolentine HS and Riverside Church teammate you were probably referring to.

I was hoping the same but alas, it didn’t happen.

1990 was probably the deepest NYC class ever.

We ended up with Shawnelle and Lee Green, but there were FOUR McD All Americans and one all-time NYC great.

Jamal Mashburn: Hayes, Kentucky
Brian Reese: Tolentine, UNC
Adrian Autry: Tolentine, Cuse
Derrick Phelps: CTK, UNC
Khalid Reeves: CTK, Arizona
Rob Phelps: Nazareth, Providence
Rich Ashmeade: Holy Cross, UConn/Rutgers
Norman Marbury: Lincoln, Tennessee/St. Francis
