Knicks Laughing at The Heat

Last summer as the King James hunt came to its conclusion, it seemed that the NY Knicks were the butt of many jokes. After negotiations and lots of sports gossip, Lebron signed with the Miami Heat, becoming an even greater rival, leaving New York disappointed. Eight months later it seems the Knicks have a reason to laugh. However, it isn’t just because they have Amare, Melo, and Chauncey-though that is cause for celebration in the MSG zone.

After a big win over the Hawks, they were having a laugh at the expense of the Heat stars, who were said to be crying after a heartbreaking 1-point loss to the Bulls. The comment was made by Heat coach Erik Spoelstra after the 87-86 loss. Stoudemire pointed out Chris Bosh as the watery-eyed one (although Bosh, when asked by reporters in Miami whether he had cried, said he almost had but did not).

“I heard Chris Bosh was crying tears,” Stoudemire said.

“Tears?” Anthony asked.

“Yeah, tears,” Stoudemire replied.

“Wait ’til I call him, man,” Anthony said. “I’ll be like: ‘What are you doing?’”

As a result of social networking, text messaging, and the rapid acquisition of information, word spreads very fast. What is most interesting is the affect that this may have on the rivalry between Miami and New York. Coach Spoelstra believes it to be a crying shame and added that he didn’t see any actual tears. Right now the Knicks are laughing but we will have to wait for the NBA playoffs to see who really has the last laugh.
