I like the New York Football Giants and love the New York Mets ( I know) but when it comes to the NBA I root for Golden State Property.  But for local Knicks fans they once again have a little something to get excited about at the Garden.  While many wrote the team off after they missed the boat along with the rest of the league on Lebron James despite cutting almost the entire payroll, the free agent they did sign, Amar’e Staoudemire has energized the team.  Despite losing a heartbreaker on Wednesday the team is in the middle of a stretch that has them on an 8 of 9 win tear.  On the flip side, despite a very slow start and amid much criticism over his “decision” Lebron and the Heat are ballin out of control crushing teams leaving them for dead in their wake.

Something has to give as the two teams battle at MSG tonight.  But instead of being focused on the matchup, going over game plans or doing some silly visualization exercise, both James and Staudamire took to the club last night, THE SAME club.

According to the New York Daily News Stoudemire and his opponent were popping bottles at the 1Oak on W. 17th in the Chelsea section of Manhattan arriving at the venue withing 15 minutes of each other.   The party which was promoted to welcome the King James to his court away from home featured balloons which spelled out his name.  Miami Heat teammate Dwyane Wade, his shorty Gabrielle Union and Jets wide-receiver Braylon Edwards were also in attendance

Not to be outdone, Stoudemire was flanked by Kanye’s former bun, model Amber Rose.  Plaxico Burress and his gun were invited however he had a prior engagement and had to decline.

Tonight’s game is being pitted as the biggest at Madison Square Garden since the days of Patrick Ewing. Courtside tickets are going for as much as $79,000 on StubHub.com, and the game was the top-selling Knicks contest in the 10-year history of site.  So with the resurgent Knicks looking for a big win to validate their status as a contender and the Heat looking to continue to quiet the critics in perhaps the most hostile territory was it cool for these stars to be hanging out albeit OFF the court? SOUND OFF!
