A 25-year-old man was stabbed to death inside the Flatiron club Duvet early Friday morning. Shamel McKinsey stumbled outside and collapsed outside on West 21st street, "blood gushing from his wounds, just after 3:30 a.m.," according to the Daily News. McKinsey, who had an arrest record for drug possession with intent to sell, was pronounced dead at St. Vincent's Hospital. Police suspect that McKinsey may have been partying with the rapper Fabolous at Duvet,......

NYC & Co better update their marketing materials, because New York City has a new name...The Big Onion. At least that's what Stephon Marbury is calling New York these days. While professing his love of yesterday's NY Post cover (we can't argue with him), Marbury e-mailed The Post, "I must say the front page of The Post has to be the funniest thing I have ever seen in a long time. I'm sitting on......

Knicks 97 Minnesota 93: Isiah Thomas was booed when he was introduced before the game, but the rest of the Knicks were cheered. And, when Nate Robinson pledged before the game that this team would win more games than in previous seasons that elicited the biggest cheers of all. Robinson backed up his pledge with 10 points in 16 minutes while Jamal Crawford had 24. Unlike Friday, the Knicks shot well from the charity stripe,......

Boston Celtics player and Brooklyn native Sebastian Telfair continues to deny he had anything to do with Fabolous shooting's outside of Justin's earlier this week. Earlier, the Post reported that Telfair's $50,000 necklace was stolen two hours before Fabolous was shot and a witness heard Telfair call someone "to take care" of it. Supposedly Telfair was just calling to ask for an escort because he was concerned about his and his fiancee's safety - i.e.......

Here we go: Rapper Fabolous now says that he had nothing to do with the unlicensed guns (or car, for that matter) in the car that took him to the hospital. Fabolous had been shot in the leg after an evening at Justin's, and three friends drove him to Bellevue, only to run a red light and have the police stop them, search the car, and find two unlicensed guns in a secret compartment. So......

- Cliff Floyd has come back to New York and is playing baseball. He's just playing in Brooklyn and not Queens. The Mets right fielder is making a rehab start for the Cyclones tonight in Coney Island. Maybe the presence of a Major Leaguer will help the Cyclones win their 2nd game of the season. The Mets' single-A affiliate finally broke through last night in a 4-0 win against the Hudson Valley Renegades. Tickets......

After an embarrassing drubbing by LeBron James and his scary facemask on national television Saturday, the Knicks ended a 4-game skid and returned to the .500 mark with a 113-105 victory over the Portland Trailblazers on Sunday. While Gothamist isn't sure if Portland fans came en masse to the Garden wearing plaid shirts, 70's Brawny paper towel guy hair, and mustaches, we'd certainly like to think this was the case. The shooting was the story,......

Sebastian Telfair, product of Lincoln High in Brooklyn, made his return to the New York area last night as the Portland Trailblazers played the Brooklyn New Jersey Nets. While he hardly had a stellar game, he actually played, which hasn't happened much since the season started. Prior to last night, his only game action the young NBA season came last Friday when he played one minute and picked up an assist against the Clippers. Last......

Well, we didn't get alot right, but at least we called Sebastian Telfair to the Blazers at 13. Gothamist spent the last week looking up florists in Portland, Orgeon so we could send Blazers GM John Nash a big bouquet of flowers. Because Telfair went early, high school stud Al Jefferson fell to Boston at 15, providing the Celtics with the bruising PF they so desperately needed. Unfortunately, draft night didn't become the trading......

- The Rangers have a "successful" draft with a lockout looming. - Sebastian Telfair is ripped by a rival's dad; is he Mr. Hype? - Willis Reed goes to the Hornets. - Mike Tyson is ready to fight at the end of July. - The Mets seem like Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde - Jason Kidd has surgery on his bad knee. - A new stadium! No, not those stadiums - a soccer stadium.......

Darius Washington Sr. is convinced that his son, Darius Washington Jr., from Florida, is better than Sebastian Telfair, last week's first round draft pick for the Portland Trailblazers. Mr. Washington says that Telfair wouldn't be special at all if he didn't play in New York. In the Daily News article, Washington said, " "Take him out of New York and put him in North Carolina or somewhere like that, or put him in a gym......

The NY Post and ESPN are reporting that the New Jersey Nets have reached an agreement in principle with the Portland Trailblazers to send the 22nd pick in Thursday's NBA draft to Portland for backup PG Eddie Gill and $3 million. Due to league rules, the trade cannot be officially announced until Thursday night. This is a curious move for the Nets but the dealing between the teams may just be beginning. Rumours are flying......

With the Pistons Championship firmly in the books, the offseason is now underway. The other 28 teams that stopped playing a long time ago have been feverishly preparing for next week’s draft for some time now. This draft figures to be one of the most unpredictable in recent memory due to the flood of teenagers (a record 10 could potentially be drafted in the first round) and European big men that aren’t much older. This......

The NBA Draft is less than two weeks away and that means this week is the pre-draft combine in Chicago where college seniors and players from small schools look to impress the NBA scouts and improve their draft rankings. Generally, players thought to be lottery caliber selections skip the camp and choose to work out individually for any team interested in them. In the past, no name players such as Ronald "Flip" Murray, Steven Hunter......

Yesterday, Sebastian Telfair announced that he is leaving high school, skipping college, and joining the ranks of the working class - in the NBA. The 18 year-old point guard from Lincoln High School in Coney Island led his team to its third PSAL championship in a row this past March. Telfair, 6 feet tall, is small by NBA standards and has a difficult road ahead of him, but will likely be drafted in the first......

Brooklyn's Lincoln High School won its 3rd PSAL championship in a row last night , defeating Cardozo High School, 74-65. The team was led by Sebastian Telfair, a six foot guard and New York's Mr. Basketball, who led the team with 25 points in the victory. Many people think Telfair, cousin of Stephon Marbury, will skip college and go to the NBA, but after the game, Telfair said, "I'm not sad that it's over because......
