I've been watching that dunk over and over and over again since the Finals. One of the great moments and Bynum's face when Chandler is walking by him after the dunk is priceless. Tells the story of that series.

That said, it simply wasn't the no-brainer some people make it out to be to offer Tyson five years and $60+ million. As much as he did help us--that contract could eventually turn into quite a problem for the Knicks. In our case, Tyson would have had to be our second-best player for years to come to make it worth it. We would have had little financial flexibility to add quality pieces with Dirk and Tyson taking 55-60% of our entire cap.
