Knicks Night Live

So as the admin of the site, I occasionally receive some SPAM from other sports sites. Occasionally, these SPAM include articles and occasionally these articles are of some humor/use. Today is one of those days.

The Knicks are in a dead heat for the Summer of 2010 Free Agency Class and simply dead in the water if they fail to land anyone of major stature. They could also kill the franchise if they end up over paying for one of the Max deal players.

Thus, New York is pulling out all the stops, including gimmicks (Knicks Night Live), celebrities (Alick Baldwin), mayors (Michael Bloomburg), governors , and other everything else but Randolph Morris (Yes I know he's in Atlanta, that's probably why they didn't use him to get Lebron!) and Tiger Woods' Eliot Spitzer's girlfriends. It's become a late night infomercial and with statements like these (per my SPAM) it's hard to say they are not marketing their team as anything less than... well a product:

"I'm confident because we've got a great product. New York is very unique and we're selling the best place in the world to come and live and play!" - NY Knicks Coach Mike D'Antoni on Free Agency

So if your cable network has the MSG Network, here's some information for you to watch Lebron choose someone else and the Knicks pay Carlos Boozer and Joe Johnson WAY TOO MUCH money:

One day left until the free agency period begins and NY Knicks fans are remaining at the edge of their seat in anticipation of who will move into the Big Apple and become the next Knickerbocker! MSG Network celebrates the start of the free agency with the debut of* "Knicks Night Live," *a special 30-minute live presentation *late Wednesday night (Thursday, July 1 at 12:00 a.m.)*, the first minute of the NBA's free-agency period.
