I don’t really write about sports on this blog, but sometimes, I just can’t help myself.  The reason I don’t write about my number two passion in life, after music, is that I don’t think people care these days.  I guess, it relates to what sports I follow.  I love the NBA.  No one else seems to.  At least not my friends.  I love college basketball.  I love tennis.  And I LOVE baseball.  Football - I like.  I don’t follow it as much, but I do like the sport.  And I wouldn’t miss an important football game.  There you have it.

Anyways - this is just, awesome.  I’m not even a Knicks fan at all, but I love Mike D’Antoni’s coaching and I love Chris Duhon’s leadership he’s shown already.  I really don’t know why he was playing backup to Kirk Hinrich in Chicago, but maybe Hinrich and Scott Skiles made a deal or something (intentionally ambiguous statement).  But seriously, Duhon had 22 assists!  And David Lee has 37 points and 21 boards!  That’s nuts.  That makes me a Knicks fan.

The way my fandom is in the NBA usually relies on what former Duke players play like on their teams.  That seems really, really fairweather, but I see no other way to do it.  I like the Jazz because they have Boozer.  I like Philly because they have Elton Brand.  Same goes for the Nuggets with Dahntay Jones, the Pacers with Dunleavy.  I could go on and on.  I gotta support the former Dukies!

Anyways… I’m just glad to see Duhon doing well in New York.
