Youtube It: Frederic Weis

After his recent trade from the Knicks for Patrick Ewing Jr., I think we should pause and remember the legacy that Mr. Weis has left on American basketball.  The poster industry in this country has never been the same.  Enjoy.

KG sure liked that.  Well have a great Labor Day everyone.  Coast to Coast will return tomorrow.  Peace.

I won’t be back till Tuesday but I thought I’d post up a little weekend surprise for you to look at.  I found a couple videos via Youtube that show the athletic ability of Patrick Ewing Jr. who will be trying to make the team over the next couple months.  Enjoy.

Two Things: Ginobili and Ewing Jr.

If you haven’t heard by now, there has been some breaking news that has come out of San Antonio today.  The AP is reporting that Spurs guard Manu Ginobili needs surgery to repair a ligament in his left ankle.  This is the injury that Manu aggravated in the semifinal game at the Olympics between Argentina and the United States.  Tough break as he might miss the first month of the regular season.

As far as the Knicks go, they made a minor trade today as they acquired Patrick Ewing Jr. from Houston for the draft rights to Frederic Weis.  This move now puts the Knicks at 16 players which is one over the maximum.  This will of course start rumors of the possibility of cutting Stephon Marbury.  We’ll see what happens as we approach training camp.  Ewing Jr. is athletic and the Knicks think he could be a decent player at running the floor in an uptempo offense.  However, he is undersized at 6′8″ which is a problem.

That’s all for today and now it is time for Labor Day Weekend.  Everyone enjoy yourselves and have fun.  Hopefully I’ll talk to you again on Tuesday (as long as everyone isn’t too hungover then).  Peace.
