Jim on The New York Knicks Podcast

February 20th, 2012 by | @JPCavan | Comments | Permalink |

Last night I spent an hour yuckin’ it up with Marc and Jay over at The New York Knicks Podcast. They were tremendous hosts, and even got me to stop peeing my pants by the second take.

See if you can guess which of the following topics wasn’t discussed: Jeremy Lin, J.R. Smith, Mike D’Antoni, Amar’e Stoudemire, Carmelo Anthony, 14th century Scandinavian trade guilds.

You’ll have to listen to find out!

    And really it’s the 15th century when the trade guilds get most interesting.

    Did they talk about ESPN’s stupidity and insensitivity?

    Really Cavan? You’d take Williams for Lin straight up?

    Lin’s posting a much higher PER and comparable WS/48 to any season Williams has ever played, at age 23, in his first 9 real games.

    4 years younger and possibly better than Williams’ peak? I’m keeping Lin on the currently available information. Basketball reasons- let alone the huge difference in attitude and coachability.

    Yeah I kind of regret that. I do truly believe DWill could be an absolute monster in SSOL, but when you factor in age / head issues, I’m not sure you do it.
