New York Knicks

Brooke Coin asked:


New York City is the largest city in the United States and by far, the home of world famous tourist attractions. Just think about the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty and Central Park just to name a few. These are just a few of the reasons why millions of tourists visit the city annually. Therefore it is considered a sin if you just stay in your New York hotel room and don’t go out to see the wonderful things the Big Apple can offer you.

First things first, finding a New York hotel should be at the top of your list if you are planning of visiting the city. Almost every New York hotel is jam packed during the peak seasons such as Christmas and summer. The trick is you should book for a hotel room months in advance. Or you can just go and visit during off peak seasons. It is also a good thing because there will be less people visiting the major tourist destinations.

Now that you have settled yourself with a nice and cozy New York hotel, let’s go take a look at some of the top tourist attractions New York City has in store for you.

1. The Statue of Liberty

This iconic structure was a gift from the government of France to the United States in 1886. It stands on Liberty Island and seems to be welcoming people into the city.

2. The Empire State Building

Constructed in 1931, the 102-storey Empire State Building is the tallest building in New York City. It offers a commanding view of the whole city and millions of people visit its viewing decks every year. It is often lighted in varying colors to commemorate an important event. And if you are in top shape, there is an annual stair climbing contest where contestants race each other to the 86th floor of the observation deck.

3. Central Park

Another good reason to go out of your New York hotel room is the Central Park. Covering about 843 acres, Central Park is a public, urban park that is annually visited by an estimated 25 million people. You can have a relaxing picnic under the trees or you can opt to have a tour around the park while riding a carriage horse.

4. Madison Square Garden

“The World’s Greatest Arena”, the Madison Square Garden, or simply The Garden, has been the top venue for major concerts as well as sporting events such as boxing and basketball. It is the home of the New York Knicks of the National Basketball Association (NBA) and the New York Rangers of the National Hockey League (NHL). It holds an average of 320 events annually.

These are just the top four tourist destinations that any New York City visitor should see. Some other important places of interest are the five Borroughs where each has its own culture. People actually go to the Borroughs to experience the diversity of the place. So no matter how good your New York hotel can be, it is always a great experience to go out and see the city.

New York City is the most populous city in the United States, and happens to be the only city, along with its metropolitan area, to have more than one team for each of the four major sport - Football, Hockey, Baseball, and Basketball. With so many sports teams – there are a total of nine teams – there is bound to be a lot of sporting activity. The New York sports teams that make the New Yorkers proud are:

New York Giants (NFL), New York Jets (NFL), New York Islanders (NHL) , New York Rangers (NHL) , New York Mets (MLB), New York Yankees (MLB), New York Knicks (NBA), Both, the New Jersey Nets (NBA) and the New Jersey Devils (NHL).

In addition, there are two Minor League Baseball teams – the Brooklyn Cyclones, the farm team of the New York Mets, and the Staten Island Yankees, the farm team of the New York Yankees.

Sports Tickets

With so many teams and so many sporting events all year round, New York sports tickets will always be in demand by its many fans. These tickets can, of course, be obtained from the many sports venues all over the city. But the question is - Is it practical to visit so many venues for procuring your New York sports tickets?

Definitely not! In addition, you need to book well in advance for your favorite events, and are still not assured of getting your New York sports tickets. What happens if you are visiting New York on a short stay, and wish to take in a game? Your best option for your New York sports tickets is the services of a reliable ticket broker.

There are many legitimate and reliable brokers all over the city. Ensure that the broker you approach for your New York sports tickets is a licensed broker, and a member of the National Association of Licensed Brokers. These brokers, who work to a certain set of standards, offer you good deals, and are certainly better than the those who offer dubious deals. For your New York sports tickets, avoid approaching re-sale forums and the anonymous sellers on eBay. Similarly, avoid scalpers you will find outside the sports venues.

Through reliable agencies, you are assured of your New York sports tickets, and you have to pay a little extra on the face value of the tickets, to cover the costs.

Ok, here is what i would like to know. I live in Florida, and fox sports pittsburgh is 1 of the channels on the multi sports package. I am wondering if a pittsburgh pirates game is black out from me watching it live, would a replay of it, say at 2 or 3 in the morning be also blacked out? Does anyone have this package, and nhl games that are on fox sports, whatever the city, are blacked out LIVE, are blacked out when a replay of it is shown( this would also apply to NESN(boston bruins, and msg network(new york rangers and knicks). If anyone lives in florida or somewhere far away from where these teams are located, are you able to watch the replays, if you want to, when they are shown late night. I am just wondering if that is a way to watch mlb baseball(even though it is a replay) without switching to direct tv, which obviously is going to be the only place to get mlb extra innings in 2007

Boris Diaw to the New York Knicks for Quentin Richardson, straight up. The Knicks get a promising forward with no injury history. The Suns, who supposedly need more shooting, get back their most prolific three-point shooter from 2004-05.

You think its possible?

A proud team that had been criticized and scrutinized came crashing down on the Knicks today. And the Knicks cracked under the strain. Making a strong statement that they are far from finished, the Chicago Bulls pounded the Knicks, 103-83, this afternoon at Chicago Stadium in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference championship series. The victory cut the Knicks’ edge to 2-1 in the four-of-seven-game series, with Game 4 to be played here Monday afternoon. The Bulls returned to their home court, and …

Jay Nault asked:


New York Knicks tickets were always nearly impossible to find for many reasons. They play at one of the most famous venues in the world in Madison Square Garden. The culture of New York City exudes basketball. The stars would love to be seen at a Knicks game. Oh, and one final thing - the Knicks were almost always good.

Of course, last year was one of the biggest disasters in the history of the entire NBA, let alone just the Knicks. Coach Larry Brown failed miserably in his attempt to mold what many felt was a misfit roster into winners, and the team tanked badly. Brown did not get along with his players or with management, and he was sent packing after only one season.

This led to what basically amounted to an ultimatum from owner James Dolan. He installed Isiah Thomas as coach, and told him he had a year to turn things around or he’d be joining Brown in the unemployment line. Of course, no one thought he’d actually improve the team, and no one gave this team a chance at the beginning of the season.

However, surprisingly, the Knicks are getting better. Their bloated payroll doesn’t look so ridiculous these days, and against all odds and the predictions of almost everyone who claimed to know anything about basketball, the Knicks are fighting for a playoff spot and New York Knicks tickets are once again becoming a hot item.

The reasons for this resurgence can actually be laid out pretty easily. No one ever doubted that the Knicks’ roster was talented, but the players were portrayed as a bunch of overpaid, underachieving coach-killers who didn’t know how to function as a team. After all, if a great coach like Brown couldn’t get them to play together, no one could.

Thomas changed all of that. He tinkered with the lineup, is getting production out of C Eddy Curry, a supremely talented player, and the one thing that’s most different from last year’s Knicks is that this year, New York plays hard every single night. How many times have we seen their games come down to the last shot? Last year, those games would’ve been blowouts.

Whatever Thomas is telling them, the message is apparently getting through. All this means that as impossible as it seemed just a few months ago, fans had better get their hands on New York Knicks tickets now, as they could be headed back to the playoffs.

Because they got the crap kicked out of them yesterday? If New York put half their energy from complaining to trying to win games, they might actually make it to the playoffs. Quit complaining a team is trying to run up the score and play the game!!! (No Big Mac Yesterday by the way!)
