Just a day after the Knicks offered him $100 million for a five-year contract, former Phoenix Suns player Amare Stoudemire was spotted taking in a Broadway show (Rock of Ages, FWIW) last night. He told reporters, "I've talked to Carmelo Anthony to come out here, I've talked to Tony Parker. Both those guys are ready to join me if I decide to come here, so I'm gonna see if we can work it out." And Stoudemire said of the Knicks, "It's one of the most historic franchises in NBA history. It's a beautiful city, Madison Square Garden is definitely one of the most intriguing places to play, so [the Knicks] definitely have a few great points on their side."

Last Night's Action: Knicks a Mess in Texas
-Spurs 100, Knicks 92: Quentin Richardson scored 21 points, but Spurs guard Tony Parker torched the Knicks for 33 as New York lost to a Texas team for the second straight night. On Friday, it was the Knicks' interior defense that did them in; Saturday the opponents' attack was more balanced. Richardson's had a solid start to the season, but Channing Frye and Eddy Curry will need to step up to help the Knicks right the ship.
Emmys Coverage, 2005: Worst NIght Ever
Good lord. It's not even five minutes into the Emmys and Gothamist (and friends Aaron Dobbs of out of focus and a Gothamist contributor, and Margaret Lyons, formerly of Chicagoist) is very very frightened. There is no reason why Taboo from the Black Eyed Peas should force Doris Roberts to dance with them. Doris needs to get the AARP to fight the fight with her. Welcome to Gothamist's attempt to liveblog the Emmys, until the show drains every single molecule of life from us, which we believe will happen in the 10PM hour.
NBA Finals: Pistons "Rob"bed by Spurs in Game 5
Holy cow. Last night's NBA Finals contest was about as tight and as exciting as a sporting event can be. The game was tied at halftime, tied at the end of regulation, and won at the end by one point on a 3-pointer. It was jaw-droppingly intense. And somehow, San Antonio scraped out a 96-95 OT win to go home with a 3-2 lead.
The NBA Finals
The Spurs are led by Tim Duncan, their multi-talented Center. Duncan has been the MVP of both NBA Finals he has been in and is currently averaging almost 25 points a game in the playoffs. Duncan had been hobbled earlier in the playoffs with an ankle injury, but he increased his scoring in each round of the playoffs and will have had ten days to rest by the time the Finals start on Thursday.
