The Return Of The New York Knicks.
o.4 seconds left and the Knicks have the ball; the score is 118-116 with the Knicks trailing behind the defending Eastern Conference Champions, the Boston Celtics.
The ball is inbounded to an anxious Amare Stoudemire who lunges a prayer in the air from beyond the 3 point line-the ball arcs high and drops directly into the hoop as if it were effortlessly... the buzzer sounds and the New Yorks win the game.
...or have they?
Upon review, it appears that Stoudemire did not release the ball in time... the Boston Celtics win the game, stunning a New York crowd but not the team of which the city cheered for; the Knicks players walk of the court with their head held high.
This was just one of many games from a surprising team this season; lead by the explosive Amare Stoudemire and an UNC alum whose finally found his place in the league [Raymond Felton], the Knicks are stunning crowds night after night . This is really something to hear as the team is one of the NBA's most storied franchises [with the likes of the Lakers, Celtics, and Bulls] and as Paul pierce stated in the post game interview "they have arrived".
Now the question remains; will the team make it to the Playoffs? At this rate they will...
...let's see how this season's story ends though.
