First : the New York Knicks moves two fine players to created salary space for a premier free agent and playing time for Stephon Marbury!!!!!!!
Before the game, coach Mike D'Antoni has said, "We're Excited! We're Energized! We've accomplished a lot of things and again, I don't think we've compromised this season, which was important to me and to Donnie and the fans and everybody else," "We didn't compromise it. We will be fighting for the playoffs, which we were doing before. And we cleared cap to be a player as we go forward with our plan."
Did the Knicks really end their Marbury controversy?
Second: Would LA Lakers be the Western Conference champion again?

I know in my heart that my LAKERS will be THE Western Conference champion AGAIN!!!!!!!!!
I would like to share a story that we just heard from a family member. We will give a title of "The Sack of Lunches" The man was going home from a visit to a family that he hasn't seen since he was 11 year-olds. Continuing to my story:
The man boards the plane. The manput his carry-on in the luggage compartment and sat down in his assigned seat. He give a sigh, "It is going to be a long flight. 'I'm glad I have a good book to read. Perhaps I will get a short nap," the man said.
Just before the plane's take-off, a line of soldiers came down the aisle and filled all the vacant seats, totally surrounding him. The man started a conversation. "Where are you headed?" He asked the soldier seated nearest to him. One of the soldier answer, "Chicago, - to Great Lakes Base. We'll be there for two weeks for special training, and then we're being deployed to Iraq".
After flying for about an hour, an announcement was made that sack lunches were available for five dollars. It would be several hours before they reached Chicago, and the man quickly decided a lunch would help pass the time. As the man reached for his wallet, he overheard one of the soldier ask his buddy if he planned to buy lunch. His buddy said, "No, that seems like a lot of money for just a sack of lunch. Probably wouldn't be worth five bucks. I'll wait till we get to Chicago". And the other soldier agreed.
The man looked around at the other soldiers. None of them were buying lunch. The man then walked to the back of the plane and handed the flight attendant a fifty-dollar bill and said, "Please take a lunch to all those soldiers". The flight attendant grabbed the man's arms and squeezed tightly. Her eyes wet with tears, she thanked him and said, "my son was a soldier in Iraq; it's almost like you are doing it for him."
Picking up ten sacks, the flight attendant headed up the aisle to where the soldiers were seated. She stopped at the man's seat and asked, "Which do you like best - beef or chicken?". "Chicken" the man replied, wondering why the flight attendant asked. The flight attendant turned and went to the front of the plane, returning a minute later with a dinner plate from first class. "This is yours, thanks."
After they all finished eating, the man went again to the back of the plane, heading for the rest room. A passenger stopped him and said, "I saw what you did. I want to be part of it. Here, take this." He handed the man twenty-five dollars.
Soon after the man returned to his seat, he saw the Flight Captain coming down the aisle, looking at the aisle numbers as the Flight Captain walked, the man hoped the Flight Captain was not looking for him, but noticed the Flight Captain was looking at the numbers only on his side of the plane. When the Flight Captain got to his row the Flight Captain stopped, smiled, held out his hand, and said, "I want to shake your hand" Quickly unfastening the man seatbelt he stood and took the Captain's hand. With a booming voice the Flight Captain said, "I was a soldier and I was a military pilot. Once, someone bought me a lunch. It was an act of kindness I will never forgot". The man was embarrassed when applause was heard from all of the passengers.
Later, the man walked to the front of the plane so he could stretch his legs. Another man who was seated about six rows in front of him reached out his hand, wanting to shake his hands and left another twenty-five dollars in his palm.
When the plane landed in Chicago, the man gathered his belongings and started to depart the plane. Waiting just inside the airplane door was another man who stopped him, put something in his shirt pocket, turned, and walked away without saying a word. Another twenty-five dollars!?
Upon entering the terminal, the man saw the soldiers gathering for their trip to the base. The man walked over to them and handed them seventy-five dollars and said, "It will take you some time to reach the base, and it will be about time for a sandwich. Thank you & God Bless You ".
Ten young men left that flight feeling the love and respect of their fellow travelers. As the man walked briskly to his car, he whispered a prayer for their safe return. These soldiers were giving their all for our country. All I could give them is a couple of meals. It seemed so little...
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it on to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free." - Ronald Reagan
"Duty, Honor, Country. Those three hallowed words reverently dictate what you ought to be, what you can be, what you will be." - Douglas MacArthur
" A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life wrote a blank check Made payable to 'The United States of America ' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.' That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.'I think somehow we learn who we really are and then live with that decision". - Eleanor Roosevelt
