MILESTONES IN SIGHT: Jamal needs 978 minutes played for 10,000 career, 206 rebounds for 1,000 career, 263 assists for 1,500 career, eight blocks for 100 career and 1,022 points for 5,000 career. . .Also needs just seven 3PT FGM to move into the all-time Knicks career Top Ten in that category (ahead of Larry Johnson, in tenth place with 191).

THEY SAID IT: Quoting Stephon Marbury: “Once he understands, there's not going to be too many two-guards better than him, other than the elite ones, Kobe Bryant and Tracy McGrady. Once he gets stronger and understands, it's going to be over. He can shoot and drive. It's a nasty combination.". . .Quoting Pacers president/CEO Donnie Walsh: ”I think Jamal's going to be a terrific player, I really do. He's figuring it out now. It looks to me he's trying to play the right way. He's not racing down the court and firing shots up. He's trying to play within the offense. It takes a player a year to adjust unless they walk into a ready-made team and it's not.”
