NEW YORK -- The Knicks went coast to coast to let Carmelo Anthony know they want him to stay in New York. Team officials travelled to Los Angeles on Thursday night to meet with the free agent, a person with knowledge of the plans said. Team President Phil Jackson and general manager Steve Mills were expected to be part of the meeting but not Madison Square Garden chairman James Dolan, the person told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because details of the meeting were to remain private. The meeting was first reported by ESPN. Anthony was in Los Angeles to meet with the Lakers, who are among the teams hoping to convince the All-Star forward to leave New York. Anthony already visited Chicago, Houston and Dallas this week. The Knicks can offer him the largest contract, nearly $130 million over five years, though Jackson has said he hopes Anthony will take less than a maximum deal. Other teams can offer Anthony slightly less than $100 million in a four-year deal, according to NBA rules. Contracts cant be signed until July 10, so Anthony is under no rush to make a decision. But the Knicks apparently wanted to make sure they got to make a final pitch after his free agency tour. Jackson, Mills and new coach Derek Fisher had already met with Anthony last month in Los Angeles, where he informed them he would be terminating the final year of his contract and becoming a free agent. He has never said he wants to leave the Knicks, who acquired him from Denver in a February 2011 trade. But the 30-year-old forward also said his priority is contending for championships, and the Knicks were just 37-45 last season, the first time in Anthonys 11-year career that he missed the playoffs.

Especially with this new wave of youngsters on the slopes, led by the likes of American Mikaela Shiffrin.For one afternoon, though, on a hill thats always treated Austrian skiers well, Hosp found speed she hasnt uncovered in years. She turned in a powerful final run Sunday for her first World Cup victory since 2008, while Shiffrin struggled to a fifth-place finish.Hosp was nearly a second back after the first run, but glided through the deteriorating course in a time of one minute 44.90 seconds. She held off Frida Hansdotter of Sweden by 0.19 seconds. Kathrin Zettel of Austria was third for her 10th podium finish at Aspen.This victory feels like my first victory, said Hosp, who suffered a serious knee injury a few years ago and retired the giant slalom from her repertoire. Im happy that Im back.Marie-Michele Gagnon of Lac-Etchemin, Que., finished eighth overall with a time of 1:46.28.It was quite a weekend for the first country of ski racing. Austrians Eva-Maria Brem and Zettel went 1-2 in the giant slalom on Saturday. Then, Hosp rose to the occasion on a bumpy and rugged course. So did Zettel — again, which really is no surprise since she always performs well at Aspen. She wishes every race could be held at this venue because it has perfect conditions and is lovely for me.Not so much for Shiffrin.The 19-year-old was the leader going into the final run. While she didnt have any major mistakes, she did have a few breaks in her usually solid form. She wound up 1.08 seconds behind Hosp.Shiffrin knew, too. About halfway down, the Olympic slalom champion knew this wasnt going to be her day as she chased her first World Cup victory in her home country.Maybe its all the training shes been doing in the giant slalom and super-G, but her bread-and-butter event, the slalom, has been a little shaky this season. Shiffrin finished 11th in Levi, Finland, two weeks ago and now fifth — after leading following the first run and a partisan crowd cheering her on.ddddddddddddStill, shes refusing to fret.I have a little bit of work to do on my slalom, honestly, and I knew that coming into this race, Shiffrin said. Im really trying to get back to the skiing where I know that its good enough no matter what and I can step into the gate with confidence.Today, everybody was pumping me up, trying to get me to just do a training run and, Youre fine. You dont have to do anything special. I didnt really believe that in myself. I think I had to pull something special out in the second run in order to win. Some of those other girls did that.Namely, Hosp. She had the fastest final run. No one was catching her.This was Hosps first World Cup victory since Jan. 13, 2008, in a slalom race at Maribor, Slovenia. Her first World Cup win was in 2002.Since then, shes dealt with injuries, captured three Olympic medals — including a silver and bronze in Sochi — and won the 2007 overall World Cup title.This year I felt so good in the summer — no injuries, really healthy, Hosp said. Im so happy it is working again.Zettel feels the same way. She had hip surgery in the off-season and is surprised how fast shes returned to top form. Zettel is currently leading the overall World Cup race, but said thats not really a goal.But its still nice to lead, for sure, said Zettel, who doesnt plan on doing a lot of speed this season.It was the second straight slalom race in which Hansdotter has finished second. She also was runner-up in Levi, a race won by Tina Maze of Slovenia.Maze had another solid day going Sunday, before struggling in the final run and finishing ninth.The surprise of the day was the performance of American Resi Stiegler, who came in 11th. Stiegler has been contending with injuries the last few seasons.Im pleased with Resi. I think its a matter of time when shes going to be in top-five and on the podium again, U.S. Alpine director Patrick Riml said. ' ' '
