It appears that New York Knicks' fans can cross LeBron James off of their wish list, due to an incident between the team's owner, and one of it's legends.
Here are ten pro athletes in the state of New York who, through either their play or actions in their personal life, are constantly surrounded by controversy.
Last night, the Madison Garden Crowd was giving it to their home team, as New York came out and played a sluggish first half. Boston led by as many as 25 and the boo birds were targeting Knicks star forward Julius Randle. Then, in the 4th quarter, with New York in the midst of an amazing comeback, Randle made that familiar 'thumb down' gesture towards the fans. Uh, oh...What are these athletes thinking? Like, New Yorkers are going to stop when you do that to them? You'll get a finger right back and it won't be the thumb!
It has been a bad decade in New York sports. The New York Giants Super Bowl victory in 2011 is the last major championship in the Big Apple. I say that all changes in 2022! Let's look into our 104.5 The Team crystal ball and see what happens in the New Year!
New York sports in 2021 was fully of drama, progress, disappointment and another year of zero 'Big 4' championships. However, it's always a good year in Big Apple sports. That's because there is always something fun to talk about. There are enough major sports soap operas to interest a few cities, nonetheless one. This year was no different. I'm not going to spoil the ending but you know that somehow COVID 19 will find its way on to our list.
Sports teams are asking for items on their holiday list, just like us. Here is what every New York major pro sports team is hoping to see in their stocking.
I've done something bold. I've taken the ten professional "big four" sports teams in the state of New York, and I've ranked their jerseys from one to ten. Do you agree?
I laugh when people say that 'the Capital Region is a bad sports town.' Really? When people say that I sometimes feel that they are trying to find something wrong with everything. If you feel like I do, it's time to look at the facts. This is actually a pretty good sports 'town.'
New York Knicks' star Julius Randle is taking more three's this season than ever before. As it turns out, he has a great cause attached to every three that he makes.
In other words, there are about 1,000 better fights to fight right now for the NBA then Julius Randle's "No Ball Anymore" interpretation of the league acronym.
