New York Knicks forward Michael Beasley continues to be one of the NBA’s most interesting characters ever since he was drafted No. 2 overall back in the 2008 NBA Draft by the Miami Heat. Despite being a highly-touted prospect who was expected to be a star in the league for years, he has still put […]

Jen Selter and Kristaps Porzingis have been rumored to be dating, or at least they are very interested in each other, but now it looks like the New York Knicks’ injured star might be getting some competition from a fellow NBA star. Selter, who is a model, posted a picture on her twitter account of […]

It was a scary moment on February 6th as the New York Knicks were playing against the Milwaukee Bucks when Kristaps Porzingis would awkwardly land on the court after a dunk over Giannis Antetokounmpo. As Porzingis laid on the floor, it seemed the worst news could come true as the star of the Knicks was […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo has been on the right side of a lot of spectacular plays in his young career, but he has also been there for a one of the worst play for the Knicks franchise in recent memory. Antetokounmpo went up to try and block Kristaps Porzingis who was going up for a dunk attempt […]

Since the Kristaps Porzingis injury, the New York Knicks have been playing some really bad basketball. They currently have lost five games straight and have a record of 24-41 which puts them in 11th place in the Eastern Conference. They have moved to play their younger players including shutting down Jarret Jack for the rest […]

Michael Beasley had a tough decision to make this past summer — to take a $12 million multi-year offer with a Chinese team or to join the New York Knicks on a one-year deal for the veteran minimum of $2.1 million. While many have chosen to follow the money, Beasley has stayed true to a […]

After missing their game versus the Portland Trail Blazers, the New York Knicks expect shooting guard Courtney Lee back on Sunday when they take on the Toronto Raptors.

New York is one of the most popular cities in the world, and also being home to a lot of fashion icons. Its residents have been known to have their good styling sense as well, including professional athletes that represent their teams. With Enes Kanter landing with the Knicks as part of the deal that […]

The New York Knicks’ Emmanuel Mudiay used to be a point guard that everyone talked about. The 6-foot-5, 22-year old court general was selected in the 2015 NBA Draft by the Denver Nuggets as the successor to their previous starter, Ty Lawson. Since then, Mudiay has struggled in a wide array of ways. He hasn’t shot […]

Actor and comedian Michael Rapaport is a big NBA fan, and has appeared on several shows and podcasts to share his thoughts, mostly on his hometown New York Knicks. Some time ago, there was an incident involving former Knicks player Charles Oakley in which he was thrown out of a game after some sort of alteration […]

In a sea of celebrating teammates, chaos all around him, the Chicago Bulls’ Derrick Rose remained perfectly serene. It was Game 3 of the 2015 Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Rose, tormented by years of injuries, put the Bulls on his back, scoring 30 points with seven assists. If life were a fairytale, […]

New York Knicks head coach Jeff Hornacek has only 17 more games to make a good case on why this new front office regime should keep him at the helm of this team by next season. Despite the loss of Kristaps Porzingis to an ACL tear and all the new changes in the rotation, the […]

The New York Knicks have lost 13 of their last 14 games, as Damian Lillard lit up their young backcourt for 37 points on 10-of-18 shooting and an incandescent 8-for-11 from deep. With their only win coming right after the All-Star break against the Orlando Magic, head coach Jeff Hornacek has been shuffling the pieces, […]

Damian Lillard has put himself among the elite group of players playing at an MVP level in this last stretch of the season, catapulting his Portland Trail Blazers team from the bottom of the playoff picture into the third seed, thanks to an eight-game win streak after dispatching the visiting New York Knicks 111-87. Lillard […]

The New York Knicks are on the outside of the Eastern Conference playoff picture, and things are getting worse. Even with the Knicks’ pronounced struggles so far this season, head coach Jeff Hornacek does not seem worried at all about his job status, per Marc Berman of the New York Post. However, with just one […]

In a lost season for the New York Knicks, it was announced on Tuesday that starting shooting guard Courtney Lee would be absent for tonight’s game against the streaking Portland Trail Blazers. According to a tweet tonight from Knicks beat reporter Ian Begley of ESPN, Lee will not even be with the team tonight due […]

When Kristaps Porzingis went down with an ACL injury, the New York Knicks turned to Michael Beasley to start at the power forward position. For a while, he was scoring in bunches and looking like the guy who was taken number two overall out of Kansas State. But as the Knicks have continued to struggle, […]

The New York Knicks were able to rally late and give the Sacramento Kings a run for their money during Sunday night’s road game, but it didn’t prove enough, as the Kings managed to hold on for a 102-99 win. Head coach Jeff Hornacek had made a change at the All-Star break in hopes to […]

It’s no secret that the New York Knicks are currently struggling and that their season has not gone according to plan. Losing 11 of their last 12 outings, they have had very few reasons to cheer about, and will likely be headed to the lottery once again. That may be the case, but Jeff Hornacek […]

With only about 20 games left in the NBA season, it’s safe to say that Utah Jazz point guard Donovan Mitchell was the steal of the draft. Many will argue Kyle Kuzma for that award — especially delirious Lakers fans — but it’s Mitchell through and through. The Jazz picked Mitchell at No. 13. He […]

New York Knicks head coach Jeff Hornacek was so irate after their loss to the L.A. Clippers on Friday that he is actually thinking of changing the starting lineup with just about 20 games less in the season, per Marc Berman of the New York Post. The Knicks had a slim lead heading into halftime of […]

With a deep rotation of guards on the New York Knicks roster at the moment, it wouldn’t be surprising if the team tried to trade at least one of them this upcoming offseason. In fact, according to a tweet today from Knicks beat reporter Ian Begley of ESPN, a name that has come up as […]

The New York Knicks are in the middle of a very rough stretch, partly because their star Kristaps Porzingis suffered a season-ended ACL injury recently. But beyond that, Michael Beasley thinks the team has other problems that they themselves can actually fix. After a bad loss to the L.A. Clippers on Friday night, Knicks coach […]

The New York Knicks drafted Frank Ntilikina with hopes that he would be their next franchise point guard. But as the season has gone along and moves made, it appears the Knicks would prefer he play more off the ball than be the one running the offense, per Stefan Bondy of the New York Daily News. The […]

Coming out of Kansas State, Michael Beasley was a prized commodity and was drafted with the second pick in the 2008 NBA draft by the Miami Heat. But he never really caught on with one team and for as good as he was as a player, he had some issues off the court including a […]

The New York Knicks and Joakim Noah are still in a rift, and they weren’t able to reach an agreement on a buyout before Thursday so he could become eligible for another playoff team. It looks like Noah will at least remain on the roster, but away from the team. According to Marc Berman of the […]

The New York Knicks decided to go younger after the All-Star break and get some of the younger guys playing time, which meant less playing time for the likes of Jarrett Jack. There were reports that he was trying to reach a buyout with the Knicks so he could get some minutes somewhere else, and […]

Kevin Durant is one of the best players in the NBA. That fact has remained the same since Durant won the 2014 MVP award over LeBron James after scoring 32 points per game. Like James, the Golden State Warriors superstar is a once-in-a-lifetime talent. The seven-footer dribbles and handles the ball like a guard, yet […]

When it comes to New York Knicks newly-acquired point guard Emmanuel Mudiay, head coach Jeff Hornacek has a long-term plan in place for the 21-year old. According to a tweet on Wednesday afternoon from Ian Begley of the New York Post, Hornacek thinks that the sky is the limit for Mudiay with the Knicks. “I […]

The NBA has come across a number of organizational controversies in and outside of the league. Commissioner Adam Silver has finally come out with a strong warning against teams who are blatantly tanking. In a memo sent out to the teams and reported by Sam Amick, Silver’s comments are the harshest so far on the […]

Ever since a discussion between New York Knicks head coach Jeff Hornacek and Joakim Noah, the latter has been away from the team. Noah has only appeared in seven games this season, playing a grand total of 40 minutes as there were times where he would play over 40 minutes in a single game for […]

L.A. Clippers head coach Doc Rivers is one player who has, at one point, donned the jersey representing the New York Knicks. Some of the most important parts of his career were spent there, and there is still a place in his heart for the city and the organization. Once you consider that, it’s not […]

Since suffering a devastating knee injury earlier this month, not a lot has been heard about New York Knicks big man Kristaps Porzingis. Apart from the announcement that he will be out at least 10 months to recover from it, his recovery is unknown and it remains a mystery how he’s doing now. That changed […]

As the New York Knicks have gone full-throttle in their efforts to grow through their youth, head coach Jeff Hornacek is hoping rookie Frank Ntilikina can get stronger this summer through a more rigorous strength and conditioning program. “With Frank, it’s just strength,” Hornacek said before the Knicks lost to the Warriors on Monday, according […]

The New York Knicks failed to trade Joakim Noah and his burdensome contract away at the trade deadline earlier this month, but now they have another chance to shed his salary before March 1. That’s the deadline for players to get waived from a team in order to be eligible to play in the playoffs. […]

JaVale McGee had another one of his questionable decisions on the court, but this one turned out very well. He took a fading turnaround jumper that hit nothing but net, but the best part of the play happened next, when the camera panned to Jon Stewart’s face. Javale McGee sinks the turnaround fadeaway jumper and […]

Jarrett Jack has seen himself go from a roster hopeful to the starting point guard of the New York Knicks, soon after becoming inactive as the All-Star break came to a close. Due to the acquisition of Emmanuel Mudiay in a three-team trade, the blow of Kristaps Porzingis’ season-ending injury, and eight straight losses coming […]

Stephen Curry emerged from the dugout wearing a Golden State Warriors jacket and his hoodie over his head. The two-time NBA MVP was all business. A young New York Knicks fan wearing a Kristaps Porzingis jersey was ready to meet the Warriors’ hotshot. Like Curry, he, too, was all business. When the two finally caught […]

Kevin Durant has grown into one of the most versatile defenders in the NBA. With his quickness and athleticism, the Golden State Warriors superstar can smother smaller guards and prevent them from taking advantage on the offensive end. With his exceptional length, Durant can also cover larger players with ease. Though, defenders do have some […]
