Knicks · What does your "Knick"name mean? (page 2)

Nixluva may seem obvious, but actually Nix was the name of my dog, an Airedale Terrier, that I bought to fill the emotional hole after my wife and I lost our 1st child back in 1988. I loved that dog and he did help to ease some of the pain. I spent hours training him and he was so obedient. I could instruct him to stay in the middle of Jamaica Park full of kids and walk out of the park, out of his sight and he wouldn't budge until I came back and gave him the command. Great dog. He did more for us than we did for him, tho he never knew it.

Great story, nix. Sorry to hear about your loss.

I haven't played an actual game in over 7 years. These days my basketball prowess is limited to the PS3 and shooting Nerf hoops with my son. I went to the park last summer with my brother just to shoot for a few hours. The next day I could barely walk up the steps to catch the train. Getting old sucks.......

Chris Childs passing to Chris Dudley.

I was born and raised way Uptown (In the Bronx) by the last stop on the 5 train. I reside in the south now so I use Uptown to stay in touch with my northern roots.

Thanx Bruh! We were blessed to eventually have 3 children and they're all bigtime Knick fans like Dad! I'm looking forward to enjoying the 1st Knick playoff series with my sons this year. They've never known a good Knick team so this is special.

Mine is just a "Knickname" from some friends growing up. It was a substitute for "man" or "dude", as in when saying something like "what's up man?". Not sure how it came up, just mofos started saying it.

Guess I should have thought of something related to the Knicks, which would most certainly have involved John Starks (one of my all time faves). If I could change it without losing my post count, I probably would. Is that do-able Martin? Maybe something like "StarksOverMJ".

Cause I love music and bball...

From wikipedia:

"Gustav Mahler (German pronunciation: [ˈɡʊstaf ˈmaːlɐ]; 7 July 1860 – 18 May 1911) was a late-Romantic Austrian-Bohemian composer and one of the leading conductors of his generation. As a composer, he acted as a bridge between the 19th century Austro-German tradition and the modernism of the early 20th century. While in his lifetime his status as a conductor was established beyond question, his own music gained wide popularity only after periods of relative neglect which included a ban on its performance in much of Europe during the Nazi era. After 1945 the music was discovered and championed by a new generation of listeners; Mahler then became one of the most frequently performed and recorded of all composers, a position he has sustained into the 21st century."

I thought going to work today was an good idea, then I actually got there. Mensa sucks, I think they ran out of genius types and took their recruiting mainstream.

From the old TV show.

55 is year of birth.

I don't live in San Fran, although I do own an antique railroad telegraph sender/receiver... which would have been used to "wire" people at some point in history.

that's perfect you'll fit right in with the overall B-Ball abilities of the group (with the exception of Bitty who can actually ball)
