    The Knicks win every game by 40 or 50 points and the Yankees never lose. This is the ultimate New York fantasy, beyond parking spots, bagels, and no line at the laundromat. It’s on.

    Let’s hope that was the real New York Knicks I saw last night, trouncing the Atlanta Hawks by an unheard-of margin of 51 points. It was 47 at halftime. You won’t hear Franklin or me breathe a word of this on Math … Continue reading →

    With one eye on the Denver Double I am turning my attention to the hardwood as well, following the exploits of the NBA team of my youth. That would be the New York Knickerbockers, who last won a championship nine … Continue reading →
