Not direct Knicks news but some tidbits about Melo and team USA...we're in a drought til training camp anyway.

The Two Most Amazing Things That Happened at Team USA’s Game — The Ringer

The second play happened a couple of minutes into the second half. Nigeria had the ball and was looking to inbound it. Carmelo took a look around to see who was guarding whom, then started shouting toward the bench, and let me take a second here and say how wonderful it is to be able to watch Carmelo Anthony play basketball from a seat close enough to the court where you can hear him, because he talks on — I would guess — every defensive possession. He shouts about picks and who should be moving where and what should be happening when. It’s so much fun.

But so, OK, Nigeria had the ball and was looking to inbound it. Carmelo took a look around to see who was guarding whom, then started shouting toward the bench. The USA players were confused. The Nigerian team was confused. The refs were confused. Anyone in the stands who noticed that Carmelo was shouting was confused. The only one who wasn’t confused was Carmelo.

Because he was the only one who’d realized that his team had only four players on the court. The basketball team for the United States of America set up to play defense and it was missing a player. That’s great, too. I’ll never forget it.

Oh captain, my captain :salute:

Melo gonna be primed for a great season it's looking like.
Noah needs to be on extra bully shyt...

After Melo hits a step back jumper from triple threat and starts to run backwards to get on defense...

Noah needs to PUSH any referee into the fukking media desk to avoid them being in Melo's ankle's way.

As an Aside. I was at Pace today and Allan Houston was a keynote speaker. He was talking about his foundation and the work he did in Louisville with Big Brothers Big Sisters. His words were genuine and he's got a lot of Integrity.

There was a Q&A section and a man asked how come more Athletes aren't involved and the community and he big upped what Melo is doing right now and Jo was doing Chicago.

He's one of my favorite Knicks. Always classy. I met him once & he seemed like a good dude
