Thanks to Boris and crew over at Madison Square Garden for inviting me to a luncheon with John Starks. Starks is still the man for coming out and chatting with us disgruntled season ticketholders. Starks took everything in stride, gave us open and honest opinions about the state of the team and the league, and was just a super-chilled out head. The Knicks have been listless and bleak the last few years, but seeing Starks in person brought me back to the glory days when Ewing roamed the paint, Oakley knocked dudes to the ground, and Starks hoisted bombs from downtown. If the Knicks could only find some players that could play with the same amount of heart, emotion, and leadership that Starks played with, then we might be heading in the right direction.

I’m a Knicks fan for life — born into this despair, but I still have faith in Larry Brown. Get it together this summer Larry, Get it together!

Here’s a french crew called the Sneaker Mainliner that just recently put out a sneaker forum for the heads in france to chit-chat about the culture.

Show Casper and his crew some love.
