Watching the Watson highlights video above, one would think that Peoples-Jones was a great receiver.  So much for highlights...

I was almost certain this topic had Huddles from the 80's returning  ?

He never left, thanks to Jimma's contract offer.

He & Baker had decent chemistry. Once he got traded to the Lions, that was it. I think he's on the Saints now.

I don't think he's played since 2023.

Some say Jesus was black.

I've been reading a lot of good things about Watson so far, just typical hype trying to create a story?

Guess we'll have to wait and see.

That was Earl The Pearl Monroe who was part of the last Knicks Championship team. Beside Black Jesus as he was known on the streets of Philly, he was also called Thomas Edison because of all the different moves he invented in High School.

Earl The Pearl Monroe

The Knicks got him from the Bullets I believe.  I modelled my game after Walt 'Clyde' Frazier.  He was very smooth and under control.  Didn't do fancy stuff unless it was required, played great defense.  What a backcourt that was....with Dick Barnett and Dean Meminger...with Dave DeBusscher, Senator Bill Bradley, Phil Jackson, Willis Reed and Jerry Lucas.  Lucas would come in for Reed...and sometimes he'd post waayy outside (no 3 point line back then...what the hell is the backup center doing way out there?)  This opened the inside for the rest of the guys.  And if they passed it out to him, he had a beautiful set-shot, and he would bomb it up there and make it with reliable regularity.  Again, this was way back before the 3 point line addition.  Back when nobody shot from that far out.  You had to work for your points.  And that's what made The Pearl so incredible.  He worked magic.  Pistol Pete was another...back in the day...

...sorry Cavs fans.....but, Go Knicks.   ( I still have a pair of Clyde's -  Puma, blue suede. )

Well if he did exist he surely wasn’t the blonde haired blue eyed version we grew up with.

Let’s see how he and Sanders look in training camp, specifically when they go up against another team for a week. 
 

Because the last season he stated (2024) he looked horrible in training camp vs whoever the team was we were going up against… (Eagles? Vikings?)

I read where Judy says he sees a big difference in Sanders this year.  He's more confident, more in command, etc.  Which is good to hear.  And Rizzo, who doesn't want Watson starting said that Watson looks very good out there.  But he also wants to see it when there's pads and a pass rush.

There is an excellent book about Bradley at Princeton called "A Sense of Where You Are". If I recall correctly he made a shot without looking back to the basket and told the author that after you shoot so many hours per day you know exactly where you are and don't really need to see the basket. That's where the author got the inspiration for the name of the book. That was one talented Knicks team!!
