Nate Rob reps Complex front to front.
Let’s be honest, New York Knicks fans haven’t had much to cheer about this decade. Even the masochists among them must have been overwhelmed by Stephon Marbury, the sex scandals, and seven consecutive losing seasons. Fortunately the Knicks do have a bright spot: 5’9” point guard Nate “Krypto-Nate” Robinson.
Tomorrow, on Halloween, the Knicks host their home opener against the Philadelphia 76ers, and Garden fans will hope that the energetic Nate Rob, who won dunk contest titles in 2006 and 2009 with his 44-inch vertical leap, will treat them to some hustle and an ill jam. Complex caught up with the Seattle native and avid gamer at an NBA 2K10 party to get his answers to “the Complex 7.” Read on to see if his answers were slam dunks.

Paging Captain Knick: we think there’s something in the water at Madison Square Garden, and it ain’t the winning formula. Somewhere (likely his casket) Red Holzman’s rolling over in his grave (again), because yet another Knickerbocker is at the center of a sex scandal.
First things first: at this point the allegations in the sexual harassment lawsuit filed against New York’s belittled center Eddy Curry yesterday are just that'allegations. But they’re totally bizarre, and given the Knicks’ recent history, totally in keeping with the spirit of the team (OK, so the loaded gun and the Cam’ron lyrical references are a new touch). Don’t believe us? Peruse our history of Knicks sex scandals and judge for yourself…

At least Jamarcus Russell’s shoe game is right-side up.
Imagine our surprise when we got the papers this morning and learned that Sarah Palin thinks Africa is a country! Just kidding, we already knew she was that dumb. No, the real shock this morning was reading USA Today and discovering that the Oakland Raiders have the highest payroll in the NFL this year.
That’s right, the same 2-6 Raiders who managed 77 total yards in a 24-0 home loss to Atlanta this past weekend have a total payroll of $152.4 million (by contrast, the Falcons’ total is $96.4). Which begs the question: Is that the worst waste of money in sports history? Read on for a sport-by-sport breakdown…

One way or another, the Knicks will blow up this year!
It’s been a long off-season for the New York Knicks and their number one supporter, Captain Knick (they get considerably longer when you’re eliminated from playoff contention a month into the season). After hiring new General Manager Donnie Walsh and replacing disgraced Coach and Chief Executive Officer of Sexual Harassment and Xenophobia Isiah Thomas with former Phoenix Suns coach Mike D’Antoni, there’s reason to believe something better is in store for the Big Apple.
Look, the preseason hasn’t even begun and already the Knicks are tied for first place! Before they lose a game and the shine wears off, check out five reasons Cappy is amped for the ‘08-’09 season…
