December 2, 2010 – Kevin Burke New York City is the Mecca of basketball. I didn’t make that up. It’s a fact. Actually, the entire Northeast corridor has a very heavy basketball influence.

Yet, somehow, Russell Westbrook has been taking it in [...]

November 22, 2010 – Kevin Burke I must admit, I was extremely nervous heading into last week. The Knicks were riding a 5 game losing streak and showed no sign of breaking that skid. Then, on the horizon was their annual early season West Coast trip so I didn’t think that time away from the [...]

November 19, 2010 – Kevin Burke I remember where I was, who I was with, and even what I was wearing (seriously).
