It's a growing epidemic.

Right now, the New York Knicks are in the midst of a four-game losing streak. And, of course, all the media wants to talk about is pinpointing the exact cause of their current struggles. Is it their inability to get a secondary scorer behind Carmelo Anthony? How about their defensive efficiency? Amar'e Stoudemire has a theory and wait until you hear what he has to say. 

“We got plenty of swagger, we may have too much swag,’’ Stoudemire said after the loss, via the NY Post. “We got to get more greedy, from the standpoint of wanting to defend, wanting to win and having a sense of urgency. We have to want to win. We got to have the mentality to want to win. It don’t matter if it looks good or not. We just got to get it done. It’s not a great feeling right now.’’

So, basically, the Knicks are playing like an overconfident bunch. Got it. But when it comes to swag, is there a team that embodies that mentality more than 'Melo, STAT, J.R. "You Trying to Get the Pipe?" Smith and the rest of the Knickerbockers?
