The appeal generated by such players has led to the game of basketball becoming an internationally renowned sport and as such more and more youngsters are taking up the game across the globe, and especially in Europe. Although stars such as Michael Jordan were known throughout the world, having a player from your country competing in the NBA provides a real connection to the game of basketball and also a sense of pride. The NBA often had a perception, fairly or falsely, that it was impossible to break into from outside America, but, as that has changed, a growing influx of young international players has been seen. Players such as Tony Parker from France or Pau Gasol from Spain are testament to this and the trend is only going to get stronger in the coming years.

The Knicks need McDyess to be healthy, but it's still uncertain whether he will ever don his #34 jersey in a game that matters for the Knicks. If he starts the season on the injured list, that will be tough for the Knicks to swallow, but it could give Sweetney more of chance from the outset.

As a sophomore during the 2001-02 campaign, Wade earned Honorable Mention All-America honors from the Associated Press and First Team All Conference USA honors. He led the Golden Eagles in scoring (17.8 ppg, 8th in C-USA), rebounding (6.6 rpg) and steals (2.47 spg, 1st in C-USA). On nine occasions he scored 20 or more points, including a career-high 35 against conference rival DePaul.

The Knicks had a great draft night on paper and one that could end up proving to get them back in the playoffs in reality. Making it back to the post-season will be the first step for the Knicks, who finished 37-45 last season, landing in the draft lottery for consecutive seasons for the first time in a long time.

Howard Eisley did a nice job running the offense last season and appeared to regain his shooting touch, so for the time being he's the starter - unless a big trade comes the Knicks' way that would bring a proven veteran into the mix.

Let's start with the second and third round picks from last night. They won't be ready this year.so don't even bother factoring them in.

That might be an over-dramatized analogy, but last night the New York Knicks, under their roof, in their kitchen toyed with the flavor of their cake, landing 6-foot-8 Georgetown forward Mike Sweetney with the ninth pick in the first round of the 2003 NBA Draft at Madison Square Garden.

As for last year's second round pick, point guard Milos Vujanic, he just agreed to a two-year deal with Skipper Bolgna of the Italian league - so if the Knicks can't offer more money, it's likely that he'll be in Europe for some time. Leave him off the roster for this season.

-- Two teams I'll be paying close attention to on draft day: Atlanta and Philadelphia. As I write this, neither team has a coach or lottery pick. In fact, the Hawks don't even have an owner, as Dallas businessman David McDavid is still waiting for the league to approve his purchase of the team. Still, with the right moves, Atlanta could be in the playoffs next season, and Philly could be in the Finals.

Nowitzki does not represent the only international talent at the premier end of the NBA. He is joined by Serbian Peja Stojakovic of the Sacramento Kings, who is widely recognised as one of the great 3-point shooters in the world and is a key player on one of the league's elite teams. Stojakovic's countryman and team-mate, Vlade Divac, has long been a representation of the kind of quality that can come from the international community.

Granted, the Finals were downright ugly -- which is why it was the least watched championship series since 1981. Nobody could make an open shot, and the idea of finishing the fastbreak in traffic became a rumor. It looked as if New Jersey and the Spurs were coasting through the preseason, rather than trying to win the biggest games of their lives.

-- Kapono makes a good point, as today's general managers seem to draft players based on What They Don't Know. In other words, GMs and owners seem to be more interested in taking a guy who they find intriguing, as opposed to someone who will help the team right away. But they only do it because that's what the fans demand.

Actually he could choose to not release his last album but contractually he wouldnt be able to release any music anywhere else.

I'm pretty sure that if he didn't fulfill his contract that he could get his ass sued.
