This blog doesn’t pretend to be a Basketball Blog but after
we were lucky enough to get tickets for the New York Knicks game at the London
O2 last Thursday, I’m going to be following Langston Galloway’s career.
He’s Robyn’s cousin.
Tonight, he’s in all our thoughts; The Knicks are playing The
New Orleans pelicans and the game means a lot for Lang, as you can see;
New York Daily news 17th January 2015.
The Knicks made some minor news on Saturday without dumping
salary or losing a game.
Langston Galloway, an energetic, undrafted rookie guard, was
signed to a second 10-day contract after a four-game audition, team president
Phil Jackson announced.
In a season full of lows, Galloway’s play has been a pleasant
surprise.
Through his brief tenure with the Knicks, the former D-League
standout has averaged 9.8 points, 3 assists and 2 rebounds over 24.2 minutes a
game.
On Jan. 7, the 6-2, 200-pound Saint Joseph’s product signed
his first Knicks contract, becoming the Westchester Knicks’ first ever call-up.
In his Garden debut on Jan. 8 against the Houston Rockets, he
had 19 points, including a rim-rattling put-back dunk.
Once Galloway’s second 10-day contract concludes, he will
either be signed for the rest of the season or cut.
The Knicks were off on Saturday, perhaps licking their wounds
after a 95-79 loss to the Bucks in London’s sold-out O2 Arena on Thursday,
their 16th straight loss, a single-season franchise record.
The club has dropped 26 of its last 27 games and hit the half-way
point of the 82-game season with an NBA worst 5-36 record.
The Knicks will try to emerge from their nosedive on Monday
against the New Orleans Pelicans at the Garden before hitting the road to face
the built-to-tank Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday in a race to the bottom of
the Eastern Conference.
It’s going to be a tough ten days for Lang so we’re keeping
our fingers crossed for him!
