Inside the NBA: Looking ahead

NEW YORK AT MIAMI: Sunday at 5 p.m. PST. TV: ESPN.

Rather than being enormous, this game is merely glamorous … unless the Knicks show that their pretension of being contenders with Carmelo Anthony and Amare Stoudemire is a legitimate aspiration.

Of course, with only two other rotation holdovers — Landry Fields and Toney Douglas — the Knicks need time …

Assuming they’re not just hype, which would be a bigger issue.

Talk about your rising powers. This is like a CAA intramural game with the powerful agency’s clients — Anthony, LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh — now all in glamour markets, according to plan.
