Articles, Kentucky, Old Knicks

GREENBURGH, N.Y. — Josh Harrellson says it’s too cold here for him to bust out the jorts just yet.

But the man who goes by the Twitter handle “BigJorts55” said he hopes his new Knicks teammates feel comfortable enough to soon call him by his nickname.

“Not yet,” he said Tuesday at the Knicks facility. “But hopefully we can get them going.”

The Knicks acquired the 6-foot-10, 275-pound former Kentucky big man in the second round of the NBA Draft by sending $1 million to the New Orleans Hornets.

Articles, Harvard

At this very moment, there are more Ivy League schools (1) in the Top 25 than there are schools from the Pac-12 (0).

And for the first time ever, that Ivy League school is Harvard.

Tommy Amaker’s Crimson are No. 25 in the country in the AP rankings and No. 24 in the ESPN/USA Today coaches poll.

The Crimson becomes the first Ivy League team to be ranked nationally in a major poll since Cornell was ranked No. 22 in the ESPN/USA Today poll during the 2010 season. The last Ivy team to appear in the AP was the 1997-98 Princeton team that finished No. 8 in the rankings.

Recruiting

LeBron James knows a thing or two about making Decisions.

So Chris Walker figured he’d go ahead and ask The King to help him with his decision.

“I’m a top 5 player in the country in class of 2013. Where should I go to college Mr. James?” Walker asked James on Twitter.

The 6-foot-9 Walker out of Bonifay (Fla.) Holmes County is one of the top power forwards in the Class of 2013 and recently told SNY.tv his top three were Kansas, Florida and UConn.

Articles, Old Knicks

GREENBURGH, N.Y. — Knicks shooting guard Landry Fields concedes he “shrunk” last year after the Carmelo Anthony trade, but says he’s worked on his “mentality” and will do better this year.

“Obviously, I do think that I shrunk a little bit,” he said Monday at the Knicks’ facility.

“With those three guys [Anthony, Amar’e Stoudemire and Chauncey Billups], they demand a lot of attention and they’re going to get that attention, so with me it’s just kind of getting where you fit in.”

Fields was a Rookie of the Year candidate early in his first season out of Stanford, but struggled mightly in the second half of the year, especially after the Anthony trade in February.
