I hated Vescey in 99 when he put out an article about the Knicks (Dave Checketts and Ernie Grunfeld) wanting to fire Jeff Van Gundy to hire Phil Jackson all because their was a clause in JVG contract that gave him a $1 million bonus if the Knicks made the finals.

Plus he worked for The Post the most :mjpls:newspaper of all time

Peter Vescey was one of the original "Sources" guys, throwing shyt up against the wall hoping it stuck, plus the fact that dude always came across as a scumbag/jerk as well.

After the JVG/Phil Jax article came out the Knicks rallied around JVG and made the finals Dolan blamed Grundfeld and Checketts for the article and having to give Van Gundy a new contract fired Grundfeld forced Checketts out and brought in Scott Layden the Knicks haven't recovered since.

All because of Vescey and his "sources"

Peter respect was earned by being "there" back in the days of the ABA and the NYC street leagues. He has a lot of old school knowledge and first hand stories, but his penchant for rubbing people the wrong way, wore out his welcome. He fell out of favor because he created stories and burned bridges with the networks and players. He fathered Chris Broussard "sources" steez.

He used to do interviews on the sideline as well IIRC. I vaguely remember him dissing Karl Malone after a game.


:mjgrin: @ Antagonizing a child molester



IIRC tho, he did post game duties during Conference Finals/Finals as the whole in studio cast was there for those events. Ahmad Rashad was the primary sideline reporter

This interview is funny as hell. Lol @ Vescey telling him straight up he didn't play up to his standards.
