Knicks forward Malik Rose seems to have the edge over Maurice Taylor at power forward, according to Newsday.

Really, it's not too surprising that coach Larry Brown would lean towards starting Rose, who'll play tough defense and work hard at both ends of the floor. However, from a fantasy perspective, it's hard to imagine Rose giving owners more than 10 points and seven boards a night, and that's an incredibly optimistic forecast.

I know he isn't a Spur anymore but still. = )

Notes from Training Camp - Oct 8, 2005
by Tony Ciuffo


Knicks Model Themselves on Malik
Charleston, SC, October 8, 2005 -- Thanks to his mother Janet, Malik Rose's career has been one based on a work ethic and energy level that is second to none in the NBA.
"My work ethic started with my mother," said Rose, who was a key member of San Antonio's NBA Championship teams of 1999 and 2003. "She was a single mother of six. I used to watch how she went out all the time and worked so hard for my brothers, my sister and I.

"My mother use to always tell us it's not how many times you get knocked down, but how long you stay there. That's really the foundation of my work ethic. I've gotten knocked down but I've always picked myself up, dusted myself off and kept going."



Rose
The former Drexel University standout and Philadelphia native also brings leadership, and nine years of NBA experience to Larry Brown's first New York squad.

"When you have role models and examples like Malik that have been in the league, it makes the young player's transition so much easier," said Brown. "He's always been a guy who is going to give it all he has, whether he's sitting on the bench or playing 40 minutes. "He is what our league is suppose to be about.

For the newest of Knicks or the NBA vets, Rose's effort hasn't gone unnoticed.

"He's been my gauge on to when to say I'm tired and when not to, and I haven't said I'm tired yet," added rookie Channing Frye. "He works so hard and he's been around this league a long time and he's a champion and I really look up to him."



Crawford
"Just the way he carries himself, you can tell he comes from a winning program," said teammate Jamal Crawford, now in his sixth NBA season. "He'll do whatever it takes to win. He doesn't care if he's playing 10 or 20 minutes, he going to contribute and play as hard as he can."

Rose, who was traded to the Knicks last February, has made a living with his hard-hat defensive approach to the game.

"I've got to stop people," added Rose. "That's been the staple in my career. I've routinely been put on the other team's best player. I take that as a challenge and I embrace it. It's what I always had to do to make the team."

The 6-7, 255-pound forward has played in 589 career games, grabbed nearly 3,000 rebounds and is just 808 points shy of 5,000 for his career.

He's got his own website (www.malikrose.com), a collection of over 1,500 CDs ranging from rap to classical and he opened his own restaurant - Malik's Philly's Phamous - in September of 2003 in San Antonio's Quarry Market. His restaurant features a full menu and everything from authentic cheesecakes to 19 flavors of Italian ice.

"Mom is the boss of the restaurant," added Rose, whose favorite sandwich is the cheese steak hoagie known affectionately "Malik's Favorite". "She pretty much runs the place, and that's fine with me."

And, we're all certainly grateful to his mother for that.

LOL! Great Minds! I just posted an article about Malik too! = )

I merged them together :)

Hehe! For a second there I thought I posted in my thread twice.

Gee, who would've thought that 'troublemaker' Malik would be so well regarded?

No surprise whatsoever. But Spurs fans bit on that fiction hard.

Malik = SA

Great character, great work ethic.

his cheesesteaks are fucking awesome

I'd like to see Malik end up with the Cavs. It'd be a great fit for both parties.

He can easily score more than ten points and get more than seven boards, well maybe on the boards part.

It's just a matter of what they need him to do, when Timmy was out Malik and Rasho stepped up big, but when he's here they try to find roles and not impose themselves on the game...

I <3 Malik!! :makeout
man i miss him..... .thankgoodness for Mailk's hometown Philly! It's just so yummy!

I had no doubt in my mind Malik would do well wherever he went. Continue to do us proud Likie

Is he goin to teach curry how to pumpfake like the master?

I believe Nazr surpassed Malik and took over the title of the Master.

I thought the same thing, his leadership skills and his work ethic I think would be invaluable to James, Coach Brown and the Cavs team.

I never saw Malik as a trouble maker, but since he got here this young man has always spoken his mind. There is a reason he was a favorite of the media, the guy is intelligent and well spoken and always has something to say that while some may not like it, it is how he feels or sees things. I've always seen Malik, Sean and Manu as probably the best interviews on the Spurs team.

:angel

It's cool having Malik and Larry Brown on the Knicks because it gives me a team to cheer for in the East.

your going to cheer for the Knicks?

ouch.

Malik Rose will be traded before November.

maliks resteraunt is overpriced.

Maliks Philly Phamous is bad ass. :tu

Haven't eaten there but once. I need to go back the next time we go to the quarry. I hope he builds one in The Forum shopping center one day. Hey, has anyone tried the pizza or the italian ice there?

Yeah, because Malik never admitted to Pop in the exit interview that he dogged it in 2003-3004 just to irritate him after being benched. He also never got into a fight with AJ in Cleveland. I like Malik, but he wrote his own ticket out of town.

You need to go to Malik's new place by the Silverado movie theater and order his Shrimp Alfredo.

It is to die for! Yummy!

Godbless Malik!

if Brown starts him? Malik is gonna be an Eastern Conference All Star! :tu

Malik's stats and the New York press will get him there. :)

First of all Malik is not a Spur, when he was a spur, he had an attitude problem, he was worthless and he was rightfully sent packin.

I show faith in almost all the Spurs except a few.

You mean to tell me you saw some light in Carl Herrera or Anthony Carter?

Huh?

End of Discuss.

Malik led the Knicks (slong with Ariza) in rebounds in 16 minutes of play.

As a starter.

Get used to it.

Malik started!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Last night was a good basketball night! :elephant

God bless Malik for being a great person! :spin

He deserves the best! I also hope that he kicks his Mom's ex-boyfriends ass again and again......

That jerk made business cards that said "Rick Mcleary, Malik's Dad" :lol

Whoot that's my boy!!

He should open a couple of his Philly joints in NYC.

he wears a knicks jersey, very astute. :tu

but he will always be a spur brother. INTEGRAL part of ALL 3 CHAMPIONSHIPS.

yes, all 3. without malik, we don't have Nazr. without Nazr, no rings last season.

i'm glad you are talking about attitude and worthless as you are the R-Ex on the subject with reference to some of your posts. :tu

i will no longer question your faith in spurs 'except a few'.

Anthony Carter helped win the first regular season game for us in his season with the Spurs if you recall. And yeah, I supported Carl Herrerra when he was here...but your right...HE WAS NO MALIK!

you mean to tell me you've had that manu jersey you own the whole time you were calling him 'manure'?

and DO NOT make me pull up that 'it's over' post of yours after the game 1 loss to denver...:lmao

i love you man, but i got malik's back, always will...

END OF DISCUSS. <----very nice, by the way....:lol :tu

I foolishly did.

The guy was a stud in Houston for the Rockets championship teams, and it was thought with more PT, and a starting role, and playing next to Robinson would make him even better.

Hey, he got us Antonio Daniels. wich got us Steve Kerr back.

Very nice!!

By the time AJ and Malik got into it in Cleveland, AJ's days in SA were numbered. His role on the team was different. Not everyone was with AJ. Also, no one has yet come clean on what really happened, so to pin it on Rose is a bit unfair.

You know, Rose should've just signed that deal with the Lakers back in 2002 as much as people seem to believe he was that awful and non-essential to 2 title runs.

When was Aunt Jemina on the Spurs? :lol
