Titles. Pro stars. Memorable moments. Albany has a rich sports history, so I took to Facebook, and asked you: what is the most iconic moment in Albany sports history?
What a difference a year makes. Carmelo Anthony played for one season at Syracuse University. In that 2002-03 season, Melo averaged 22 points and 10 rebounds, leading head coach Jim Boeheim's team to their third National Championship. Melo left a few months later in the NBA draft as the 3rd overall pick of the Denver Nuggets. However, Anthony will always be on the Mount Rushmore of Syracuse basketball. Now his son may continue that Orange legacy.
This season of the NBA has been a farewell tour for Dirk Nowitzki and Dwayne Wade. We also saw Magic Johnson walk away from the Los Angeles Lakers like a thief in the night. Did we unknowingly see former New York Knick star Carmelo Anthony say goodbye last night as well?
As we sit here in the Team studio on a snowy February Tuesday, Carmelo Anthony is not on an NBA roster. Goz has long been one of if not the loudest Melo supporter we've heard from. Goz has been super sensitive when trying to select where his hero Melo would fit best and take the least abuse. So when I suggested a reunion with the New York Knicks I expected his head to explode. His reaction caught me off guard a little.
The NBA Christmas schedule has been officially released and we now know who and where the New York Knicks will be playing.

Each week we are presented with a story that has happened in the past week in sports and we have to figure out why the event has occurred...
