NFT: Knicks chat 7/29 (and a HS outdoes Jordan)

ESPN-



Outlook: The Knicks did upgrade at point guard by bringing in Calderon after Felton struggled mightily last season. Calderon also could be a much better fit in the triangle than the underachieving Felton. Calderon averaged 11.4 points, 45.6% shooting overall and made 44.9% of his shots from behind the three-point arc last season. He also averaged 4.7 assists for the Mavs. Felton shot just 39.5% from the field and 31.8% from three-point land. Prigioni shot 46.4% from behind the arc last season. With the Knicks going to a triangle this season, Calderon and Prigioni may be counted on for their outside shooting. Phil Jackson’s point guards in the past often were more spot-up shooters like John Paxson and B.J. Armstrong. The point guard that will make the biggest difference on the team is the one who is retired -– Derek Fisher. Even though he is coaching for the first time in his career, Fisher brings a wealth of championship experience, toughness and leadership. If Fisher can transfer that to the team from the sidelines, the Knicks’ point guard play can only get better after last season. http://espn.go.com/blog/new-york/knicks/post/_/id/58125/position-analysis-point-guard


Though Rapaport thinks Lee is no longer relevant as a filmmaker, he noted the director’s importance to the Knicks, calling him the team’s unofficial mascot.

“Maybe, he’s gotta take off the orange outfit and just sit down and everybody will be cool,” Rapaport told SI.com. “We don’t have a mascot, so it’s good that we got Spike Lee. He comes, he shows up in the mini-skirt jerseys and all that stuff, and the orange hat, so it’s good because we don’t have a mascot. But I think Spike Lee has anointed himself the team mascot.”

Rapaport, who previously called Lee a “s–t stain” and called on Lee to insult him to his face, said he hasn’t seen him since the feud began.
