Should be able to once you click edit post and then change the title. If it doesnt work and you need it changed, let me know.

As far as the video... fap.

It won't let me, but no big deal, just a grammatical error. Should be "to" not "too". It doesn't really matter

The 'Big Apple Backcourt' is going to be fun as hell to watch develop and progress throughout the season. Kemba and Lance become the first pair of New Yorkers to team up in the same backcourt since Rod Strickland and Mark Jackson played together for the Knicks in 1990.

Also kinda cool, found this story [New York: Kemba, Lance Keep Dominating NYC] from Kemba's senior year in high school circa early 2008.

Who are some of the other great guards to come out of NYC?

Stephon Marbury

Sebastian Telfair

Kenny Anderson

Rolando Blackman

Nate Archibald

Bob Cousy

Chris Mullin

Those are some of the great guards that grew up in NYC. Michael Jordan was born in NYC but grew up in NC.

Marbury is probably the most popular as a prep player. He's a pop culture legend as a NYC kid, even more so than HOFers like Dr J, Kareem, & Billy Cunningham who also grew up in NYC.

Oddly enough, PG Sebastian Telfair is probably the most hyped NYC player of all time. Mostly because he is related to Marbury. He was a phenomenal high school player, hell they did a mini tv series on him while he was in school that aired on ESPN. I think it's unfair he gets labeled as a bust. He's an undersized PG who went pro straight out of high school & is still in the league a decade later.

      Sometimes the deal you don’t make is the BEST DEAL…. LOL @ Giants

      I don't think it's necessarily selfless to make that trade. I think it's all in how you plan and if you can objectively view the player. You know you're going to have a new coach and be taking a QB in the draft. Whether or not he wanted to admit it, we were going to be beginning a rebuild with a new offense and new defense. Depending on the coach, Burns may not have even been a good fit for the scheme that coach wanted to run.  So, if you're not 1st, you're going to need to trade up. Burns likely is going to want in the 30m per year range. While an effective pass rusher, he was never a complete DE. He wasn't a JJ, TJ, Bosa, or Garrett. He was more Reddick, and while good, never going to be in that top tier contract caliber.  So the question becomes, knowing that you need a QB to go with a new coach, is it better to have your  23, 24 and 25' 1sts  extra 24 and 25 1sts an extra 23'2nd  and 30m aav of future contract cap space to get a QB and edge rusher  Or your 23, 24 and 25 1sts and a good, but not elite DE on an elite tier contract.  6 picks and available 30m AAV in cap space vs 3 picks and 0 extra cap space to get a QB and a good, not great, DE.  To me that is a simple answer and frankly one that could potentially save my job. You have to have vision and be able to recognize value. Fitts over valued Burns like many fans did. I think ultimately what cost him his job was 3 years of not being able to value players correctly. We saw it twice in the draft in 2 separate years when he panicked and couldn't read the draft. DJ Johnson and Matt Corral picks specifically come to mind.  I don't think it was about being selfless as much as being a strategist. Neither Rhule nor Fitts never struck me as very strategic guys. I think they were more let's throw poo at the wall and see what sticks. Unfortunately for the fans, none of it stuck, but it still all stunk.

      The issue is the formula is secret, and it incorporates runs... So... Yup, it does. Same with PFF (which isn't quite as secret). But when it doesn't - like on Sunday - it's often to hilarious results. PFF is more reliable I think at matching my 'eye' test.
