Good morning, New York/New Jersey sports fans! A new era in local pro basketball began Wednesday, so let's have a look.
↵New York Knicks: The Knicks began the Carmelo Anthony era with a 114-108 victory over Milwaukee. Anthony had 27 points and Chauncey Billups had 21, so the Carmelo & Amare Stoudemire tandem is off to a good start.
↵New Jersey Nets: The Nets hauled in their own superstar Wednesday, swinging a trade for Utah point guard Deron Williams. Williams will debut for the Nets Friday in San Antonio vs. the Spurs.
↵College Hoops: The St. John's Red Storm won their fifth straight game Wednesday, defeating DePaul, 76-71. Is St. John's actually better than Syracuse? Maybe. Let the debate begin.
↵Baseball: Baseball America came out with its list of the top 100 prospects on Wednesday. Six New York Yankees made the list, while only three New York Mets are included.
↵NFL: The NFL Scouting Combine begins today. SB Nation New York will try to keep you posted on news about players from the Big East, as well as anything coming from the Combine regarding who the New York Giants anbd New York Jets might be paying attention to.
