Earlier in the summer I joked that the NBA might adjust the court for old-timers to play.
This week Charles Oakley, Reggie Miller, and Allan Houston are the biggest wannabe sports comeback stories. Dennis Rodman must be waiting in the wings. Stern is talking about a Geezer of the Year (GOY) trophy, ESPN wants to do postmortems before the game, Lurch is thinking about suiting up, and the NBA wants to change the shape of the backboard to look more like a tombstone.
There isn't enough geriatric equipment in the world to keep these guys going.
You know what, these guys had their day. Start a Night of the Living Dead Basketball League if you like but please, if Barkley is younger than the guy making the shot I'm out.
The World's Greatest Sports Forum dedicated to the New York Knicks ...and books, politics, food, music, art, movies, video, and, oh, basketball, too.
The Glory-torium is now open in the basement of this blog, check your cynicism at the door. Knock three times and give the doorman the secret words, "In Phil Rose We Trust".

Necessities
Ye Newe Glory-torium
Here, dear readers, is the final resting place of all weary Knicks fans. Yes, here is where one comes when the Triangle refuses to have three sides, when biting one's lip from losing to win later is one loss too far,or when said fan simply hits 'rock' bottom. In short, "the ship be" eternally "sinking" here. Welcome aboard, rearrange the deck chairs as you please.
