The Knicks made NBA D-League headlines and history by sending six-time all-star Amar'e Stoudemire down to the NBADL. While the big man is merely practicing with the squad, young stud Iman Shumpert could be in line for a longer stint in Erie soon.
The D-League has already seen a bevy of high profile NBA prospects hit the minor league hardwood this season. This week, however, the NBADL will welcome its first multi-time all-star. Amar'e Stoudemire is set to practice with the Knicks' affiliate.
BayHawks GM (and Knicks Asst. GM) Allan Houston talks with RidiculousUpside.com about the D-League affiliate building that strong relationship with the NBA, embracing the same culture as they search for worthwhile talent.
New BayHawks head coach Gene Cross is ready to hit the ground running and will join the team for open tryouts in New York City.
After more than a week of anticipation, the Erie BayHawks will finally name their new head coach this afternoon.
