His resigning in the land of the setting sun was a big disappointment for me. He has said during several interviews that if it didn’t work out in Phoenix that he’d first and foremost consider New York.

I know Nash is a New Yorker and also is probably the best point guard for Mike D’s system, so yeah, I do think signing with an cocky idiot like Steve Kerr (yes I know he has rings, but to me he’s no different than a Dennis Scott) was detrimental to his career, and I did lose respect for him for staying with a team that is headed for nowhere and has done everything it possibly could to erase the direction that had taken them so far in such a short period of time.

Also the “just bloggin” that immediately followed my “lost respect” comment was admitting that I may be letting my personal bias in the Knicks best interest affect my perception of the individual player.

I felt the same damn way when Kobe resigned after his comments.
I felt the same damn way when Phil Jackson resigned after his comments.
I felt the same damn way when Kidd toyed with the Knicks and stayed with Dallas.
I laughed when Grant Hill, who is at this point in his career a downgrade from Wilson Chandler, used and abused us to no avail during his free agency flirtation with the Knicks.

Basically, I know who can play, and Nash can play, but if you’re not wearing orange and blue, I do admire/respect you much less regardless and even more so if you recently passed up a chance to wear the orange and blue after having flirted with the idea so publicly as so many of these players have, Nash included.

So yes, I will boo his ass when I see him next at the garden. I’ll go back to admiring him once he’s inducted in the hall of fame.

Sessions will get a ton of time and probably get some starts at the end of the year when Duhon faded.

Sessions plays little defense.

Also – the Nash comment was absurd. Finally a veteran didn’t sell out and try and win a championship like Shaq is desparately trying (also, Malone and Payton). Nash re-upped in a situation he was comfortable in – running the point as a Sun. Lost respect? That’s nuts. He won two MVP’s and had his chances for championships. His window has closed so he isn’t trying to crawl in other people’s windows.

but if you ask any ny knick fan right now, they’ll tell you:

sessions > tinsley

just bloggin

I like that TD plays both ends of the court and he wants to do it.
Hopefully his attitude will catch on.

Curry perhaps since he has lost weight and maybe in better shape.. he wont be so lazy on D

Oak could teach these young ones a lot.

I think even clyde could teach the guards… something

I never really followed Tinsley….do not have an opinion
