The Knicks are far and away now the oldest team in basketball. Other notable grandpa signings this offseason include Jason Kidd (39), Marcus Camby (38) and Kurt Thomas (39).
This latest signing got me to thinking...
I checked out Carmelo's career stats and picked out 2006-2007 as one of his best. I then looked up each Knick player's stats from that season and here's what we got
Man I'll never forget that 2006-2007 Knicks team. What a great championship run it was.
Remember how Carmelo was second in the league in scoring behind Kobe's shitty Laker team that barely made the playoffs.
Amare proved the doubters wrong and cameback from his microfracture surgery and was 'All NBA First Team'.
We had such good scoring off the bench. That young brash kid we got from New Orleans from nothing is coming off the bench just draining the fuck out of threes, reminding us of Allan Houston. We gave him a nickname, I think it was JR 'Swish'.
Camby was the 'Defensive Player of the Year', while we groomed this young stud center Tyson Chandler, who was a beast on the boards off the bench.
Jason Kidd, in the absolute prime of his career, was still dishing out assists like they were hot potatoes and was also 'All Defensive Second Team'.
Rasheed was so solid next to Camby, just intimidating the fuck out of other front lines. They just dominated Tim Duncan and the pussy Spurs in the NBA Finals.
It's a great thing that this team is still somehow together.
But man what a great season that was... I'll never forget it.
PS - I actually forgot to include Baron Davis, but what a coincidence...
06-07 Baron Davis - 20.1 PPG, 8 Ast, 4 Rebs
That was also the year his 8th seeded Warriors shocked the 1st seeded Mavericks in the first round.
