The Atlanta Hawks and New York Knicks supplied us with an entertaining contest on Thursday, with the struggling Knicks securing a surprise 106-91 victory against the home team.

Dennis Smith Jr. is only 21 years old and playing in his second NBA season, yet the criticisms he has received defy the number of years his professional tenure suggests. It’s weird to associate the term with someone so young, but Smith is enjoying a resurrection with the New York Knicks after being deemed as […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo is dominating the NBA. The Milwaukee Bucks power forward has been phenomenal in every way this season, earning his third consecutive All-Star selection. He and Rockets star James Harden are neck-and-neck in the league MVP race. An upcoming TNT documentary on Antetokounmpo will describe the lengthy process that went into scouting and discovering the […]

It’s easy to forget Joakim Noah came in fourth in MVP voting for the 2013-14 season. There was a swift decline from there, though, culminating in a forgettable stint with the New York Knicks that featured a heated incident with former head coach Jeff Hornacek, multiple surgeries and a 20-game PED suspension. There was even […]

NBA players often choose to hand out their game-worn apparel to fans after games, but Sixers star Ben Simmons left one patron with a confused look on his face after Wednesday night’s victory over the Knicks. Simmons set the social media world on fire last night when he was spotted offering one of his shoes […]

Sitting courtside at an NBA game is a thrilling experience, but the privilege also comes with its fair share of risks. Oscar-nominated actress Regina King witnessed this fact firsthand during the Knicks’ 126-111 loss to the Sixers on Wednesday night, when Joel Embiid hurdled over her head while going for a loose ball. The incident […]

Despite losing 126-111, the young New York Knicks put up a great fight against the Philadelphia 76ers during their match on Wednesday. This includes Mitchell Robinson, who took the task of matching up against Sixers star Joel Embiid and finished with 14 points, four blocks, two steals, and a career-high 13 rebounds. After the game, […]

Joel Embiid of the Philadelphia 76ers — all seven feet and 250 lbs of him — almost knocked out Oscar-nominated actress Regina King after he tried to save the ball in their game against the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden. Check out the close call in multiple angles. If you look closely, King […]

New York Knicks rookie Mitchell Robinson just rejected Philadelphia 76ers big man Joel Embiid, not once, but twice. In their game on Wednesday, the 20-year-old Robinson perfectly timed Embiid’s shot attempt in back-to-back plays: Among rookies, Robinson is the leader in blocked shots per game with 2.03. Overall, he’s the sixth in the league which makes […]

On Tuesday night, Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum posterized Philadelphia 76ers point forward Ben Simmons. On Wednesday evening, it was New York Knicks’ rookie Kevin Knox’s turn to turn Simmons into a highlight.

Joakim Noah’s short tenure with the New York Knicks was an utter disaster from start to finish, but the big man says he learned from it and is a better person and player now. Noah signed a lucrative four-year, $72 million free agent deal with the Knicks in the summer of 2016. Noah was born […]

Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo has entered the pantheon of the NBA’s elite this season, averaging 27.1 points, 12.6 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game entering play Wednesday.

Before the Dallas Mavericks acquired Kristaps Porzingis from the New York Knicks, the big man gave the Knicks a list of four preferred trade destinations. The Mavs weren’t on that list, but the Brooklyn Nets, Los Angeles Clippers, Miami Heat and Toronto Raptors were, according to The New York Times’ Marc Stein: Kristaps Porzingis had […]

NBA Hall of Famer Reggie Miller “can’t see” Golden State Warriors star Kevin Durant going to New York this summer and signing with the New York Knicks. Durant can become an unrestricted free agent this summer if he declines his 2019-20 player option with the Warriors and there have been a bevy of rumors lately […]

In the summer of 2017, New York Knicks president Phil Jackson was taking trade calls for power Kristaps Porzingis after the 7-footer skipped his exit interview with the team, and the Phoenix Suns were reportedly prepared to offer shooting guard Devin Booker and a swap of draft picks for KP, according to Marc Berman of […]

Before the New York Knicks ultimately traded Kristaps Porzingis to the Dallas Mavericks for a package headlined by guard Dennis Smith Jr., the Knicks tried to engage the Sacramento Kings on a deal that would have brought big man Marvin Bagley III to New York, according to Marc Stein of The New York Times. Bagley […]

The New York Knicks are having one of their worst seasons in franchise history. Recently, they suffered their 17th loss in a row — the franchise’s longest losing streak in a season. Per Ian Begley of ESPN, Monday’s loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers surpassed the previous record of 16 straight losses they tallied in the […]

New York Knicks small forward Mario Hezonja now has two highlights on the season, and they are both dunks. Mario Hezonja’s first highlight of the season was a dunk of Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo at Madison Square Garden. Now, the swingman has poster dunk to add to his highlight reel, as Hezonja dunked all over Cleveland Cavaliers […]

Let’s be honest: the best thing for the New York Knicks to do for the remainder of this season is tank. They aren’t making the playoffs, so why pass up an opportunity at earning the No. 1 overall pick? The thing is, players never want to tank, and Knicks rookie Kevin Knox is the perfect […]

The New Orleans Pelicans got through the first step of trading Anthony Davis by passing on multiple offers from the Los Angeles Lakers and one from the New York Knicks, only to wait until the offseason to rekindle talks.

Rumor has it that Jeff Hornacek and Kristaps Porzingis did not get along too well during their time with the New York Knicks while Hornacek served as Porzingis’ coach, but Hornacek has nothing but good things to say about the big man now, applauding his work ethic: “His mindset was, ‘I want to be a […]

Former New York Knicks coach Jeff Hornacek wants to return to coaching. That will likely be in an assistant role with the Golden State Warriors, per Marc Berman of the New York Post. He was fired at the end of last season after taking the Knicks to a 29-53 record. That record looks a lot […]

The acquisition of DeAndre Jordan has served as more than just a new starting center for the New York Knicks, but also as a veteran mentor to take young rookie Mitchell Robinson under his wing. Jordan, 30, knows the value in helping others grow, only paying it forward. “Anytime you can help another player out, […]

The New York Knicks are clearly all in for the 2019-20 campaign.

In what initially appeared […]

The New York Knicks are officially in the future. With the lowly Eastern Conference franchise currently in full-on rebuild mode, it appears as though the Knicks are well on their way to looking ahead to the 2019-20 campaign. Solidifying such a notion, the Knicks recently traded away superstar big man and franchise cornerstone, Kristaps Porzingis, […]

It seems the New York Knicks are alluding to promises they can’t be certain to keep. The Knicks interest in Kevin Durant is obvious. Their intent to go after him this offseason was solidified when they rid themselves of Kristaps Porzingis’ contract at the trade deadline. The rumors are certainly alive and well. Per Brad […]

Toronto Raptors star Kawhi Leonard had some kind words for New York Knicks fans after Saturday’s game between the two teams. The Raptors went into Madison Square Garden and handed the Knicks a 104-99 defeat, which dropped New York to a league-worst 10-45 overall on the season. However, even with the franchise clearly struggling, Leonard […]

The New York Knicks have signed John Jenkins to a 10-day contract, per Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium.

With the Los Angeles Lakers unable to secure a move for New Orleans Pelicans want-away superstar Anthony Davis prior to the closing of the trade deadline, the New York Knicks have now emerged as serious contenders to land the highly sought after 25-year-old in the summer. In his piece for the New York Post, Marc […]

The Toronto Raptors may have been the away team against the New York Knicks, but it was difficult for center Marc Gasol to see the difference thanks to the fan turnout. Gasol made his debut with the Raptors after being dealt by the Memphis Grizzlies at the trade deadline. According to Blake Murphy of The […]

The New York Knicks are 0-3 since acquiring point guard Dennis Smith Jr. and center DeAndre Jordan from the Dallas Mavericks in the Kristaps Porzingis trade, but the team has been much more fun to watch since the two players came over from Dallas. Madison Square Garden is built for star players to put on […]

Dennis Smith Jr. has played in three games with the New York Knicks and the explosive point guard has already made history.

After trading away their cornerstone superstar just last week, the New York Knicks have made it abundantly clear that they have their eyes fixed on the future. This season has long been a foregone conclusion, and the moves made by the team’s front office in the past week or so only further proves the same. […]

It’s been easy to forget Dennis Smith, Jr. this season. Usurped in the Dallas Mavericks’ long-term hierarchy by rookie sensation Luka Doncic, the sophomore floor general seemed to elicit less excitement after his trade to the New York Knicks than the team’s newfound ability to sign two max-level free agents this summer. That makes sense. […]

When the New York Knicks acquired point guard Dennis Smith Jr. in the deal that sent Kristaps Porzingis to the Dallas Mavericks, the second-year point guard wasn’t brought aboard for his dunking prowess specifically. You wouldn’t know that with the way he has mercilessly attacked rims when given the opportunity, with Friday serving as the […]
