Knicks Pass On AI
Saturday, 21 November 2009

In what can only be conisidered a moment of enlightenment, the Knicks passed on signing free agent Allen Iverson to a contract that would have put the controversial point guard at the helm of the team.  While it is not publicly stated, there must have been some concern after President Donnie Walsh met with Iverson whether he would be a good influence on the young members and whether he would interfere with their development.  While it was speculated that he would assist in putting bodies into empty seats at the Worlds Most Famous Arena, smarter heads did a 180 to what the Knicks have done in the pass - make the wrong decision for the wrong reasons.

We could go all the way back to the trade of Patrick Ewing to Seattle with only 1 year to go that would have cleared a mountain of cap room.  Its been close to a decade of one bad decision after another, trying to right the ship.  And while the Iverson signing would have no effect on next year's draft since it would be for only one year, the Knicks saw that for long erm development, the "Answer" was incorret for this question.

 
Knicks To Sign Allen Iverson
Thursday, 19 November 2009

So what do you think is making more noise in New York today, the fact that the Knicks have won their second game or that they are about to sign Allen Iverson?  It's Iverson.  Is he a long term solution to the Knick's needs?  Absolutely not.  They know it and he knows it.  But he will be playing center stage on Broadway with his name above the title.  The Knick's get the chance to fill in some of those empty seats while they play out the string (yes, we'll all waiting for the free agent signing period of next summer).  Will Iverson actually make people purchase tickets to the Garden?  We'll see.  But is it a good basketball move?  Well, when was the last time the Knicks made a good basketball move?  Let's hope this is the beginning of the good moves.  No one, and we mean no one, is rooting harder for Donnie Walsh and the Knick's than Game Over.  If Iverson gives the Knicks anything, including some experience to the younger Knick's while filling seats, than its worth the gamble on a player that has been considered a problem child.

 
Brandon Jennings
Thursday, 19 November 2009

Perhaps the biggest surprise,though not to himself, is the play of rookie Brandon Jennings, a rookie that didn't come to the NBA by either of the accepted past routes of either the NCAA or from High School.  Instead, the non-qualifier (couldn't reach the required scores on the college standardize tests such as the SAT) had to go to Europe to play when he couldn't get into Arizona.  Not wanting to go to Junior College, he decided, on the advise of Sonny Vaccaro, went to Greece to play for a year since the NB won't draft high school players.  To say that he did not do well in Europe would be an understatement.  To be drafted in the top ten of the NBA Draft this past June either speaks volumes on the desperation of teams to find some type of talent in a poorly stocked draft or that the Bucks did a superior job in scouting Jennings.  The Knicks, in desperate need of a point guard, passed on him with the 8th selection and took Jordan Hill (jury will be out on Hill for the season).  However, Jennings is making an immediate impact on the Bucks, scoring 55 points the other night.  Could the Knicks use that?  What does it say when they are contemplating picking up a 34 year old Allen Iverson?  Enough said.

AI To The Knicks?
Thursday, 19 November 2009

There are rumors going around that the Memphis Grizzlies are going to release Allen Iverson form his contract and make him a free agent.  Iverson signed during the off season with the knowledge he was going to come off the bench.  Apparently that has not sat well with Iverson as the Grizzlies have started poorly.  Whatever you can say of AI, he is a competitor and if he is going to go down, he wants to do that on the floor.  Which makes all the more interesting that if he does get his release, why in the world would he consider coming to the one-win New York Knicks?  

 
Kareem
Thursday, 19 November 2009

It is very possible that some of www.gameovernyc.com readers are not familiar with one of the men that is in the argument of greatest NCAA and NBA center of all time.  Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has just disclosed that he is being treated for a rare form of leukemia, chronic myeloid leukemia.  For those of us that have followed the career of Kareem, it could be stated that the fact that he has made this public omission is rarer than the disease he has.  He has been a quiet, introspective man that values his privacy.  For him to speak out speaks volumes of the man, just as his Hall of Fame credentials has spoken for his basketball talent.  We wish him the best of luck in his fight and sincerely hope that his speaking out brings attention to the fight on leukemia.

 
Game Over Goes Football
Monday, 19 October 2009

We've done it.  It wasn't enough that we had to revolutionize the basketball trophy, giving you the Game Over classic basketball trophy.  Now we're about to tackle the your idea of what a football trophy is.

Check out the newest member of the Game Over trophy line-up, the GO02F - the Game Over Football Trophy.  Like our GO02 basketball trophy, this one has that same hard hitting Game Over man, now carrying his helmet with a football in it while stepping on the helmet of an opponent.

Once you see this bad boy, you'll never play a down struggling for one of those weak looking trophies.  And like all Game Over trophies, you'll be proud to put this solid resin statue on your desk, shelf, or mantleplace.

So click on the STORE Link above and go to Trophies or click on this link to check it out.  Hurry, we can't guarantee once the stampede begins that we will have one left for you.

 
It's Finally Here
Friday, 16 October 2009

It's finally here.  The college basketball season.  Who's going to take the crown?  Who knows, who cares!  We are now engrossed in the greatest sporting event to span three climate seasons (Fall, Winter, and Spring) running through the Holidays, and giving us joy in all the magificent plays and efforts of young men and women until the final buzzer sounds.

What makes college basketball special, unlike the pro games, is that these athletes are still faliable.  Yeah, an NBAer and WNBAer can miss a shot or dribble off their foot, but they are also going home with a paycheck.  For the college athlete, it's going back to the dorm either a hero to celibrate with pizza and hallmates, or hiding in the library (yeah, they have them on the campus too) after missing a 20 footer with time running down.

We'll be watching, as most of you will too, if for no other reason than to get one more right on your bracket tourney sheet this year.
