TNT announcer and former 3-point specialist Steve Kerr traces the Knicks’ current mediocrity back to the Ewing trade in 2000. Ah well, at least we (barely) beat Kobe and his Sidekick Lakers last night.

Putting up the numbers.
Sent by way of my friend Tim, here’s an attempt to apply Moneyball‘s marginal product to the NBA. The results seem…confused. According to this data set, Hedo Turkoglu is the best player in the league, followed by Vince Carter (doubtful), KG (ok, this makes sense), Brad Miller (no, not really), and Manu Ginobli (maybe someday, but not quite yet.) Hmmm…sounds like the formula hasn’t been perfected yet. Shouldn’t Big Shot Rob Horry be somewhere at the top of this list, given that he or the since-retired Steve Kerr has won the championship every year over the past decade?
Long-Range Farewell.
3-point bomber and 5-time NBA champion Steve Kerr retires to join the TNT television crew. Hopefully, they’ll phase out Thunder Dan Majerle…he’s pretty bad in the booth.
Texas Two-Step.
So, the Spurs won it all, thanks to a 19-0 Nets collapse in the fourth. Bleah…can’t say I’m too excited about that. To my mind, San Antonio is flawed and boring. But I do find it interesting, as the Sportsguy pointed out, that either Steve Kerr or Robert Horry has won a ring each of the past ten years. With that in mind, I wonder who the Knicks’ll be drafting. Chris Kaman, perhaps?
Kerrazy shooting.
Can’t say I was rooting for the Spurs last night, but it was kinda heartwarming to see Steve Kerr get in a final three-ball spree. Now this should actually make for an interesting Finals, as the Spurs are worse than last year’s Lakers and the Nets are better than they were last year. Here’s hoping Jason Kidd leads the East to glory.
