In the final installment of Posting and Toasting's Knicks training camp interview sessions, we talk about the Olympics, Knick foot races, and tight end Zach Randolph.

The Knicks have since left town, so that concludes Posting and Toasting's video coverage of the 2008 Knicks training camp. It's been a blast. Acknowledgements and a look ahead coming soon enough.

After practice this evening I got a chance to catch up with the Knicks on topics such as politics, rookie initiation, and the Sonics' move to OKC. Oh, and I finally asked Mike D'Antoni if he'd shave his 'stache. Check it out.

I'll be back at practice tomorrow, so rack your brain for any more questions you might want me to ask the guys. Seriously.

Update: Forgot to mention, Mike D'Antoni smells very nice. Just saying.

I spent tonight at the evening session of Day 4 of Knicks training camp. The footage is longer and a little rawer this time, but I got a lot more solid footage. Hopefully the quality isn't too sacrificed in the YouTube upload, but look for these things:

- David Lee playing a little tight D and popping some jumpers.

- Quentin Richardson constantly flipping out.

- Malik Rose losing his cool. Luckily they don't call techs in training camp.

- Mardy Collins canning some J's.

- Jerome James canning some J's

Again, hope the quality wasn't too stanky, and check back for some interviews coming shortly. I'll hopefully be back at practice tomorrow morning and evening, so expect more of this over the weekend. Peace.

So, I go into training camp expecting a brief interview with Jamal Crawford and instead am faced with like half the roster at my disposal. Let's just say I dropped the ball. Here's me talking with a number of your favorite Knicks about, well, mostly shaving their heads. Keep an eye out for Jared Jeffries' poor manners, Danilo Gallinari's sheepish smile, my strange tendency to repeat everything everyone says, and my hott FreeDarko threadz.

Yes. That's what I look like. Share your disappointment in the comments. Also, if you guys have any P.C. and well-intentioned questions you'd like me to ask the guys, serve 'em up. If you can't tell, I'm generally airing on the side of humor. I'll leave most of the basketball questions for the real writers. I'd rather use this opportunity to endear the team to their fans, ya know? I should be back at practice tonight for more footage and (hopefully) interviewage, so sit tight.

Update: Forgot to mention, the sound's messed up at the beginning of the Crawford interview. It goes away.

After much labor and bloodshed, here's the first video from Day 1 of New York Knicks training camp here at Skidmore College. The camera work is weak and the quality was sacrificed pretty much completely sacrificed in the YouTube upload, so take it for what it is. A couple things to look out for:

- An inexplicable focus on Jerome James

- Mike D'Antoni's supple calves

- A possible William Wesley sighting

- Jared Jeffries being surprised at every pass that comes to him.

Anyway, here's the damn thing.

Again, apologies for the poor quality. A second, superior video is coming soon.

Hey guys. I've got video of some training camp footage and conversations from this morning coming as soon as I can get it on to a computer. In the meantime, I headed back to the gym this evening to catch some more practice. D'Antoni's drills reflect his coaching style like you wouldn't believe. They ran 3-on-3 fast break drills and 5-on-5 drills where the offensive team had to score with 8 on the shot clock. A few player key-ins from the day's second meeting.

Allan Houston- I must say, Allan's touch looks as sweet as ever, and he was holding his own defending quicker guys like Marbury and Crawford. He didn't participate at all in some of the faster 5-on-5 drills, but H20 looks surprisingly fresh overall.

Nate Robinson- Nate was his usual self on offense. He knows his guys well and his point guard instincts appear to be improving as they have each year. Nate did appear to be either lapsing in attention or dogging it in a few of the drills, though, and was the last guy back on D a couple times.

Jared Jeffries- It was the very first day of D'Antoni's system, but even so, Jeffries had a bit too much trouble keeping up in drills. He was loafing and missing directions three and four repetitions into a drill and throwing things off for the whole team. Jared did, however, block Dan Grunfeld's shot so forcefully it startled me.

Anthony Roberson- Anthony Roberson can shoot the damn lights out. He's got a lot of confidence in his shot and simply cannot be left open on the perimeter. Said Steph to Donnie Walsh, "he's like a mini Allan Houston!".

Quentin Richardson- Q's intensity is almost frightening. He's clearly feeling the heat of Wilson Chandler reaching for his starting 3 spot. Richardson was animated all night, screaming, spiking balls, and throwing towels after any miscues in the scrimmages. You can tell he sets the tone for the younger guys by taking practice so seriously.

Wilson Chandler- Wil's looking as physical and active as ever, and the jumper is falling more than it was last year. Still needs some work, though.

Chris Duhon- I wasn't too happy when the Knicks signed Chris Duhon, but it's obvious that the guy's an intelligent basketball player. He got D'Antoni's complex drills down quickly and was often the one directing traffic and correcting the mistakes of guys like Jeffries. Du's shot wasn't falling all that consistently, but I like his overall game and the way he carries himself on the court.

Stephon Marbury- Steph's running well, shooting well, and looking healthy. He appears upbeat and focused at all times. For all his offcourt hijinks, the man is all business between the baselines.

Patrick Ewing, Jr.-...is probably going to break a backboard this year. His dunks always looked ferocious on TV, but up close it becomes even more apparent that he absolutely thrashes the rim. Didn't get to see him shoot much, but his form isn't all that bad.

Danilo Gallinari- Spent most of the evening doing PT-type stuff, but he did get some outside shots up and did a few passing drills. No running or jumping for Gallo, though.

Zach Randolph- Zach may have dropped some weight, and he's running the court surprisingly well.

Eddy Curry: Still a no-show. Didn't get word on whether or not he's still yakking in the hotel room.

Jerome James- ...can get rim. Just saying.

That's it for the moment. I probably won't be able to make it to practice tomorrow, but I plan on being back Thursday and Friday. I hope to have the video I got from today up by tomorrow night. In the meantime, I beg you guys to submit some creative but well-intentioned questions for players and coaches via comment or email over the next few days.

So, as you might know, the Knicks are having their training camp at Skidmore College, which happens to be my learning institution of choice. After some negotiations with the Knicks management, I got a chance to head down to camp today and mingle with the New York media to take a look. I've got some video and whatnot coming later, but for now, a few notes of interest.

- Eddy Curry was not in the building today, and has apparently been stricken with a pretty nasty bug. Coach D'Antoni said he was feverish and throwing up this morning, so we may not be seeing him for another day or two.

- Danilo Gallinari spent minimal time on the court, and spent most of practice stretching out and riding a stationary bike.

- Allan Houston can still J. No doubt about it.

- Wilson Chandler jumper looks like it's coming along quite a bit.

- Knicks spokesperson Jonathan Supranowitz, for everything I've said about him in the past, is a very helpful, friendly individual. The same goes for pretty much everyone I dealt with.

Again, there's plenty more where that came from, but I just thought I'd give you guys a little update in the meantime.
