The recent run of wins by the New York Knicks, heralded by the amazing scoring spree Carmelo Anthony is currently on, has put them back into the discussion of being a serious contender for the NBA title in the eyes of some, but the fact remains that without fixing some defensive issues that have been plaguing them for quite a while, they’re not going to get that far.

Louisville Cardinals – Luke Hancock, Deserving Most Outstanding Player on the Deserving NCAA Champions
For the second time in a row, Luke Hancock came off the bench to keep Louisville on the right course, ending an incredible finish to the season with the NCAA tournament title, making Rick Pitino the first head coach to win two national titles with two different schools, while Peyton Siva and Chane Behanan more than made up for the fact that Russ Smith didn’t really show up on the most important game of his career.
