I spent this past weekend in New York City and was lucky enough to take in a Knicks game. Now, I would never have agreed to watch the Knicks play horrible basketball, but:

1. It was my first time to NYC and was very interested in taking in Madison Square Garden

2. They were playing the Hawks, and I was hoping Acie would get some minutes

3. The tickets were free

Well, early on the game was a complete blow out, so I was very hopeful that Acie may see the court at halftime (20 point Atlanta lead). But, true to the NBA, no lead is ever safe, and the Knicks came back firing come the fourth quarter, and Acie never saw the court.

But, that doesn't mean that I didn't find some comfort in just being able to see Acie "That's What I Do" Law. At halftime, my buddy and myself moved from our average seats to some prime real estate on the end of the court where the Hawks would be warming up after appearing from the locker room.

What transpired in the next ten minutes, made my night. Acie was taking some "no jumpers", and draining everyone. As a loose ball came his way, he scooped it up. A teammate motioned for him to pass him the ball, but Acie refused to. The teammate approached him to steal the ball, but Acie just walked to the far corner and refused further. At this point, Acie took the extra ball and flicked it one handed from behind the arc...splash.

The teammate decided to D Acie up, and Acie began to put on a clinic. Every shot...splash. Running sky hooks...money.

The people in our new section probably thought we were crazy, as we were going nuts. It was the only time we stood and clapped, or yelled the entire game. Acie fed off of our love and continued even more. This time hitting jumpers off the glass, three's from well behind the line.... Every single one strongly contested by his teammate everything time.

Acie Law. The man, the myth, the legend.
