Paging Mr. May

It’s the first thing I thought of when I saw Reggie, and Twittered and posted it immediately. Apparently, 1050 ESPN’s Andrew Marchand felt the same way.

“…With Reggie Jackson as his good luck charm, Allan Houston could not move the Knicks up from the eighth spot in the draft.

So the Knicks will remain at eight and will be thinking about guards. Davidson’s Stephen Curry seems like a real possibility. Donnie Walsh says he thinks he can play the point. Houston says Curry can pass better than people think. One thing is for certain, the Knicks will draft someone with Mike D’Antoni’s system in mind.

If they can move up, then Tyreke Evans from Memphis could be a possibility.

Yesterday, Houston and Jackson were at a charity event when Houston said he needed a good luck charm. Reggie said, “What about me?” So there was Jackson schmoozing with Commissioner David Stern, Sacramento’s representative Chris Webber and Houston moments before the Lottery began.

In the end, Houston went with Mr. October, but he might have done better if he had asked the man once dubbed Mr. May, Dave Winfield…”
