BRAD writes: your site is great! I just wanted to know why spreewell went from being the #1 player in NBA History (heart + skill) to not even making the list. Lampe has a heart of gold!! And sweeney looks like a lock for Rookie of the Year!
-yo, I just try to give a fair, unbiased opinion about da Knicks. I wouldn't say Sweeney is a lock for ROY because he has to contend with Lampe, plus the Knicks have so much talent, he won't get the minutes like lebron james or carmello anthony. Sweeney is clearly the most talented of all of this year's rookies.
VINCENT writes: "Yo Jack, What a turn around. Next years starting lineup has added strength, speed and scoring, not to mention youth. Sweetney and Van Horn are without a doubt the best forward combo in the league with the best spot up shooter (Houston YO) backing them up. Keep up the fantastic site!"
-yo, you forgot to mention height and toughness, but I agree with everything else you said.

-da Knicks should have yet another stellar year.
MICHAEL writes: "Yo, Spree is gone but that's all right. A new era begins. I think Van Horn will average at least 35 points and 12 rebounds for the Knicks. He is ready to break out and I think with Charlie Ward being the best PG in the league he'll have plenty of alley oop chances. KVH has always come
up huge in big games and now he'll do it with the Knicks!!! Layden for US President in 2003!!!"
-yo, the Knicks will always get their share of oops and KVH finally gets to play for a great team. he has shown his clutch ability in the past when he was in Utah, single-handedly taking them to the final four. and I don't know if Layden has any political aspirations just yet, as he already has one of the most powerful positions in the free world plus he is surrounded by greatness.
BRAD writes: "that sweeney sure is a great player. He is like a combination of Wilt, Willis Reed and Bob Lanier. And how bout Lampe...That guy has a heart of pure gold!!"
-yo, I couldn't agree with you more. Sweeney has already proved his mettle is the summer league by dropping 20 points and 8 rebs without breaking a sweat. Lampe will get better obviously due to his heart and determination. Ward will make him better.
