I recently got back to Rhode Island after a visit to New York City. Nuggets fans will be happy to know that the NBA Store on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan is representing the Nuggets better than almost any team besides their hometown New York Knickerbockers. They sold almost everything you could possibly think of: backpacks, all-star jerseys, Carmelo Anthony basketballs, and even a life-sized Allen Iverson bobblehead doll (in a light blue Nuggets jersey). The first note on that is that the grammar corrector doesn’t think bobblehead is one word, which is just ludicrous. The second not is that I don’t think anybody is about to shell out the big bucks for a life-sized Iverson Nuggets bobblehead doll any time soon. Not even me with my billions of dollars.
I also got a glimpse of Madison Square Garden from the outside. The only thing I could think of when seeing it was that that could be the place that LeBron James could rock out with his socks out starting next season. For the record, I think that the possibility of King James playing for the Knicks is highly unlikely because of his hometown (ish) status in Cleveland, the fact that the Cavaliers are one of the best teams in the league, and that the Knicks are similar to a three-legged donkey in the Kentucky Derby. If he did go to New York, he could bring the Knicks back to prominence in the league eventually, but not right away. Even LeBron needs a supporting cast.
Denver sports fans will also be happy to know that the Colorado Rockies are being represented in the Big Apple. I saw four Rockies hats during my visit on various people. Perhaps they only like the purple and black color combinations, but it is nice to see Colorado sports represented in such a metropolitan setting.
