Pusha T On Patrick Ewing, Spike Lee, 90s Knicks

... Radio Overtime. Check Out Brandon ‘Scoop B’ Robinson and Pusha T. What stood out to King Push the most was both the synergy of movie director, Spike Lee and Patrick Ewing. Lee, a lifer and courtside seat holder at MSG had the constant dialogue with player’s from opposing teams. *Insert Reggie Miller*. And Ewing played 17 years in the NBA, (15 as a Knick) where he finished his career averaging 21 points and 9.8 rebounds per game. “For example, like, the Knicks, if I was messing with the Knicks, it was like there was a Ewing component to it or a Spike Lee component to it.” Pusha T said. “They were so culturally relevant at the time. They were champions of the team and they were like to me, cool guys! So I was like oh man, this is fresh. Anything they put on was fresh. They were definetly representing the Knicks organization at that time.”. Pusha T admires the Knicks’ hustle and muscle from yesteryears, so do so many New Yorkers. The club has just three winning seasons in the past 16 years. At 27–42, the Knicks stand are 12 th in the NBA’s Eastern Conference. After the loss to the Nets Thursday night at ...

Remembering The Gladiators Of The Hardwood

... help from Laimbeer, came up with “The Jordan Rules.”. While Michael Jordan had always been the uber-athletic scoring machine that most know and love, he wasn’t always the steel willed unflappable god the reigned in the 90 s. To this day, I believe that without the fire that he was made to walk through, which was the lane to the basket that the Pistons guarded, we might have gotten the iteration of Jordan that the average fan boasts of today. So what are the Jordan rules you ask? The simple answer would be bring the double teams to force the ball out of his hands. If Jordan is on the wing you try to trap … you know, pretty basic basketball. Until you come to the lane, in the lane is where the hurt was. Now, in the 1989 eastern conference finals, Scottie Pippen got hurt in the first minutes of the action. This was “the bad Boys.” Jordan was punished and Doug Collins was replaced the next year by Phil Jackson and the Triangle offense was born. Pistons take series 4-2. When the Pistons were terrorizing the NBA with physical play, it ...

Lebron James Apologizes For Tiff With Tristan Thompson

... win against the Indiana Pacers. However, as with most things with the Cavs, there was some drama in the course of that victory as Brian Windhorst of __link__ details. Le Bron James apologized to teammate Tristan Thompson after yelling at him in a huddle during the Cleveland Cavaliers' 135-130 double-overtime victory over the Indiana Pacers on Sunday. James appeared to be upset about defensive coverages on Paul George, who scored 16 consecutive Pacers points at one point in overtime and finished with 43 points. James, who had 41 points, 16 rebounds and 11 assists, was George's primary defender, but the Pacers were running plays that forced Thompson to switch to George. Moments after Cavs forward Kevin Love hit a key 3-pointer for a four-point lead with 26 seconds left, euphoria on the Cavs' bench was zapped when James and Thompson went back and forth. James yelled at Thompson as they were walking to the bench and waved off coach Tyronn Lue when he attempted to calm James' down. Thompson snapped back at James, exchanging words in the huddle throughout a timeout. Immediately after the game, James expressed ...

Georgetown Hoyas Head Coaching Search

... (@Gio And Jones) March 29, 2017. Though I have no information to back it up, it’s also possible that using an search firm was a demand from Nike, which could have requested this independent party get involved in order to assuage its own Board (on which John Thompson, Jr. sits and is the longest tenured Director) if and when it discusses its contract with Georgetown moving forward. There is a question as to when this search firm was hired by the school, and we really don’t know the answer to that. While the news dropped yesterday, it’s certainly possible the Athletic Director Lee Reed and Paul Tagliabue have been working in concert with Korn Ferry from the beginning. The only information we have had as to who was leading the search came from a release from the school and named only Reed and Tagliabue, but as we know any releases from Georgetown are akin to releases from the Kremlin. Also worth ...

Why Ex-knick Patrick Ewing Makes Perfect Sense To Be Next Georgetown Coach

... Georgetown gig. Head coaching experience can't hurt. Ewing continues to get passed up for top jobs in the NBA. Taking a step back could help him move forward. If Ewing heads to Georgetown and makes the program a big winner, franchises around the NBA will inevitably notice. The versatility and experience with young, future NBA-caliber athletes can only help his standing in the association. It's Georgetown. As Adrian Wojnarowski of The Vertical pointed out on Thursday, Ewing has remained committed to being an NBA coach. In past, Charlotte associate HC Patrick Ewing held no interest in NCAA jobs. Perhaps G'town gives him pause, but he's been committed to NBA. - Adrian Wojnarowski (@Woj Vertical NBA) March 23, 2017. But this program could be the one with enough emotional attachment to change that. Chris Mullin vs. Ewing. - Zach Braziller (@NYPost_Brazille) March 23, 2017. If you're an old-school Big East fan, how much fun would St. John's vs. Georgetown be with two of the best college players in history manning the sideline? That's ...

Georgetown Is Taking A Big Gamble In Hiring Patrick Ewing

... the area. There’s no argument that the Washington D. C. area has the most talent of any place in the United States. But siphoning that talent is much easier in theory than reality. As is finding the right coaches to help. “I think the staff is the most important piece,” said Keith Stevens, who runs Team Takeover and is considered the top AAU coach in the Washington D. C. area. “I think Georgetown can recruit nationally, not just locally. They need a good mix of guys who can relate to local guys and also go recruit the guys outside the region.”. One issue that has undercut Georgetown in recruiting in recent years is the school’s cozy ties with agent David Falk. A peek at his client list reads like a roster for a Georgetown alumni All-Star game: Jeff Green, Roy Hibbert, Greg Monroe, Otto Porter and Dikembe Mutombo. Falk, not surprisingly, represented Ewing and helped him sign what was the biggest contract in NBA history at the time. Falk’s ...

Patrick Ewing Gets Major Endorsement For Coaching Gig

... The biggest question is whether Ewing wants to forsake the NBA for college. His coaching skills appear unquestioned. Since 2002, he has been an assistant with Washington, Houston, Orlando and currently Charlotte. Stan Van Gundy Paul J. Bereswill. And it is not just Van Gundy, who had Ewing as one of his assistants with the Magic from 2007-12, endorsing him. “This is what I would say about Patrick,” Hornets coach Steve Clifford said when Charlotte visited in late January. “Yao Ming’s best years were working with Patrick. Dwight Howard, by far, his best years were working with Patrick. And Al Jefferson, who has had a great career, best years were working with Patrick. I think that if I was a young player and I wanted somebody to work with me, it would be Patrick. With that being said, he is a lot more than a big man coach. He’s a good coach. [Point guard] Kemba [Walker] goes to Patrick a lot.”. Yet NBA teams haven’t gone to Patrick when seeking a ...
