Being a fan of Batman, former-Suns coach Mike D’Antoni and *sigh* the Knicks, I really enjoyed this great post on Hardwood Paroxysm about Mike D’Antoni’s infectious 7SOL (Seven Seconds or Less) style and how it parallels Joker’s thoughts on Chaos in the Dark Knight flick:

Joker: Oh, and you know the thing about Chaos?

(pause)

Joker: It’s fair.

There’s a reason you’re seeing Al Harrington having a renaissance there and why the Knicks as a whole look like they’ve been released from prison. D’Antoni has tapped into something ethereal that exists in players that tend to falter in traditional systems. Players that are made of athleticism and style, but little toughness or resolve. He is, somehow, able to tap into something philosophical with his teams and bring out the best in players that previously had nothing resembling a “best.” He does so by feeding what many consider the worst parts of them previously. He takes their little world and he turns it in on themselves. It’s fun. And it’s tempting. It’s that chaos being introduced to a system. And from a player’s standpoint, it allows them to freelance and always look to score. It’s… fair.

Also mentioned in the post, the fact that the Knicks beat the world champion Celtics at MSG last night. Which was awesome lol
