Ewing, ZO, and Mutombo to run Camp in Africa

via ESPN.com

Former NBA All-Stars and Georgetown centers Patrick Ewing, Alonzo Mourning and Dikembe Mutombo will travel to South Africa next month for a Basketball without Borders camp.
Coaches Lionel Hollins of Memphis and Monty Williams of New Orleans also are part of the group working the Sept. 1-4 camp, the eighth held in South Africa.
With the NBA in a lockout, current players can't attend the camps, which gather young players from the region for on-court instruction while also providing them with life skills.
It's the first trip to Africa together for Ewing, Mourning and Mutombo since they were part of a group that gave clinics in Kenya, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and South Africa in 1994.

Its good to see Georgetown players travel abroad for something good for a change...

Amare Stoudemire : Patrick Ewing 2.0

Amare Is Having A Historic Knicks Season

via NYPost.com

There have been just four Knicks players who have finished a season with a better scoring average than Amar'e Stoudemire has delivered in the first 22 games.
Stoudemire, the 6-foot-10, $100 million man, has been a star since coming aboard this summer and has been the leading factor in the Knicks' 13-9 start. The Knicks head into tonight's matchup with the Raptors at the Garden winners of five straight and 10 of 11.
Stoudemire, the two-time reigning Eastern Conference Player of the Week, will try to hit the 30-point plateau tonight for a sixth straight game, which just one Knick has done. Willie Naulls once poured in 30 in seven straight, a club record set in 1962. Stoudemire is the first to do it in five consecutive games since Stephon Marbury in 2005.

Amar'e Stoudemire, accepting congratulations from Raymond Felton during the Knicks' 121-114 win over the Timberwolves on Monday night, will look to reach the 30-point plateau for the sixth straight game tonight against the Raptors.

Stoudemire is averaging 25.3 points per game, which would be the highest scoring average by a Knick since Patrick Ewing racked up 26.6 points per game in the 1990-91 season. Only Ewing (who also averaged 28.6 in 1989-90), Richie Guerin (29.5 in 1961-62), Bernard King (26.3 in 1983-84 and 32.9 in 1984-85) and Bob McAdoo (26.7 in 1976-77, 26.5 in 1977-78 and 26.9 in 1978-79) ever averaged more than Stoudemire.

"The guy's terrific," Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni said.
