After winning 13 championships as a player and head coach, there was great optimism when Phil Jackson was introduced as the President of the New York Knicks during the 2013-14 NBA season. However, Jackson was fired shortly after the 2017 NBA Draft as the team failed to make the playoffs during his tenure. With the […]

New York City newspapers love their puns. Unsurprisingly, they simply couldn’t help themselves with their use of the eminently pun-able “Ball” name in their headlines for the Knicks’ win over Lonzo Ball and the Los Angeles Lakers at Madison Square Garden. Surprised there isn’t more Ball wordplay to go around. pic.twitter.com/Ct6vumQdM5 — Bill Oram (@billoram) […]

On Tuesday night at the legendary Madison Square Garden, many young stars shined in the national television spotlight when the Los Angeles Lakers visited the New York Knicks. In what ended up being a thrilling game from start to finish, the Knicks outlasted the Lakers at home with a 113-109 victory in overtime. It was also […]

Los Angeles Lakers rookie guard Lonzo Ball turned heads Tuesday night way before he even took the floor of the Madison Square Garden. When Ball arrived at the arena, he was seen wearing a hoodie emblazoned with the cover of Nas’ Illmatic album cover but with a twist. Instead of young Nas’ face on it, […]

Kristaps Porzingis put up scintillating numbers to match the brightness of the marquee matchup in the Big Apple between the New York Knicks and the visiting Los Angeles Lakers Tuesday night. Porzingis poured in a game-high 37 points on the strength of a 14-of-26 shooting from the field – including five 3-pointers – and added […]

Atlanta Hawks starting point guard Dennis Schroder didn’t like when he was benched in a recent game against the Philadelphia 76ers. But him being upset seems to have dissipated since. Schroder has reportedly focused on moving on from the benching, per Michael Cunningham of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Hawks coach Mike Bundeholzer and point guard Dennis Schroder said […]

Kristaps Porzingis can sympathize with Los Angeles Lakers rookie Lonzo Ball. The New York Knicks star knows what it’s like for a family member to say something controversial. Although in Porzingis’ case, his brother/agent just made one misguided statement as opposed to Ball, whose father LaVar is almost constantly calling attention to his family. According […]

Seems like everyone has an opinion about LaVar Ball, the father of Los Angeles rookie point guard Lonzo Ball. By yelling on an almost daily basis on the TV and making incredibly wild claims, LaVar has become a mainstream figure and a constant presence in every form of media available to mankind. In other words, […]

Prior to Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Hawks at Madison Square Garden, New York Knicks center Enes Kanter limped into the arena with a pair of crutches. After he badly hurt his hip the night before in a loss to the Chicago Bulls, Kanter battled through the pain and was actually able to start the […]

Even before he entered the NBA, there was already a lot of hype surrounding Lonzo Ball, especially with all the attention his father got for him. That resulted to him getting tested early on by his defenders, as well as some of his teammates, who want to make sure if he belongs to play in […]

With the Los Angeles Lakers (10-15) set to take on the New York Knicks on Tuesday night, promising rookie point guard Lonzo Ball admits that it’s a dream of his to finally play at such a legendary arena like Madison Square Garden. In a tweet posted on Monday afternoon by reporter Bill Oram of the […]

It’s nearing five years since the New York Knicks last made it to the postseason. But through the fine play of young star Kristaps Porzingis, the Knicks seem to have a good shot at making it in this season. According to Marc Berman of the New York Post, making the playoffs for the first time […]

Amar’e Stoudemire will be returning to Madison Square Garden on Tuesday. However, he will not be part of the New York Knicks, but instead, will light a menorah, as part of the historic arena’s first ever Hannakuh night. The ceremony will kick-off the first night of the holiday, and will take place during the game […]

We all know that New York Knicks forward Michael Beasley is the type of player/person who marches to the beat of his own drum, so while it’s surprising to learn that the former lottery pick fouled out of Sunday’s contest against the Atlanta Hawks after seeing just 10 minutes of playing time, it’s not as […]

It’s not everyday that you get to see a 7’3” unicorn get dunked on because there are so few players with the hops, strength, and most of all, the audacity to even try that. On Sunday, however, fans at the Madison Square Garden were all witnesses to that rare occurrence, as Atlanta Hawks big man […]

Through his first 22 games in the NBA, New York Knicks rookie Frank Ntilikina has been able to showcase his talents on the floor, and even glimpses of his true potential. From his ability to score in different ways to setting up his teammates on offense, he has given their fans a lot to look […]

Apparently the Chicago Bulls don’t know how to spell. And that wouldn’t be so bad if they had misspelled, say, onomatopoeia. That’s a really hard word to spell. Instead, they misspelled the name of Joakim Noah, who spend nine years playing for the same Bulls franchise, helped them win many playoff games and was essentially the […]

New York Knicks general manager believes in Frank Ntilikina. The controversial first-round pick seems to have the approval of Perry, who came to the defense of his rookie during a wide-ranging interview with Marc Berman of the New York Post. Perry said Ntilikina is coming along nicely, even though he has to learn how to be a […]

It’s only 25 games into the 2017-18 NBA season, but New York Knicks star Kristaps Porzingis has already had to deal with a number of different ailments. From his elbow to his back to his ankle, there always seems to be something that’s hurting. To his credit, he has not yet missed significant time, in part […]

New York Knicks forward Doug McDermott recently made a trip back to a city he used to play — Chicago. McDermott was drafted 11th by the Denver Nuggets in 2014, but was traded to the Bulls on draft night. Since then, he’s moved around the NBA, making a stop in Oklahoma City before landing with […]

The New York Knicks seem to have officially moved on from Carmelo Anthony. Knicks first-year general manager Scott Perry recently addressed the media and talked about the players New York received in the trade that sent Anthony to Oklahoma City, and seemed happy with the return the team got after trading its superstar, per Steve […]

The New York Knicks features tons of young talent, none more important than Kristaps Porizingis. But Knicks general manager believes that an elder player is just as important to the team as its young stars. Scott Perry said he has not bought out Joakim Noah’s contract because he likes the veteran leadership he provides, per […]

It appears Kristaps Porzingis isn’t just good at basketball. A boxer from Latvia who helped Porzingis train in July said it was no surprise to see him recover so quickly from an ankle injury that looked quite bad when it happened. Mairis Briedis, who is 23-0, said the superior athleticism of Porzingis contributed to his fast […]

Remember that time when Kristaps Porzingis could have been traded away from the New York Knicks? Porzingis does, too. When Phil Jackson was still President of Basketball Operations for the Knicks, he and Porzingis didn’t have the best of relationships. The Latvian center didn’t even attend his exit meeting with Jackson last year after the season was […]

If there has been an upside to the lackluster 2017-18 NBA season for the lowly Chicago Bulls, it is that their current situation has allowed some of their younger players to take on increased roles. Among them has been rookie power forward Lauri Markkanen. The seventh overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft has shown plenty […]

Kevin Durant may have shocked the basketball world when he announced during the summer of 2016 that he will be taking his talents to Oakland to join the Golden State Warriors, but it didn’t come as a complete surprise to Jarrett Jack. The veteran guard recently revealed that he received a call from the reigning […]

Jahlil Okafor’s days of suffering on the pine in Philadelphia have finally come to an end. According to ESPN’s Zach Lowe, the Philadelphia 76ers have agreed with the Brooklyn Nets on a deal that would send the third-year center to New York for Trevor Booker. Philly will send Okafor, Nik Stauskas, and a second-round pick […]

According to an article published on Wednesday by Daily Beast reporters Katie Zavadski and Kelly Weill, disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein and the Weinstein Company are now the subjects of a new class-action lawsuit. The suit filed in federal court accuses them of racketeering in an attempt to cover up Weinstein’s alleged serial sexual assaults […]

Kristaps Porzingis may be the new face of the New York Knicks, but Courtney Lee and Lance Thomas were actually picked as the team’s co-captains this season. Thomas, in particular, has embraced and taken pride in the responsibility of being one of the team’s leaders, according to Stefan Bondy of the New York Daily News. […]

New York Knicks center Enes Kanter doesn’t claim to be a scrabble master or a former spelling bee champion, but he knows well enough to realize that one store had “Santa” misspelled as “Satan.” Kanter didn’t waste much time blowing his whistle upon spotting the flagrant foul the store committed, as he immediately took a […]

The New York Knicks will have star forward Kristaps Porzingis back in the lineup against the Memphis Grizzlies tonight, according to ESPN’s Ian Begley. The unicorn had sat out the last two games with a sprained ankle injury. His return comes at a great time, given that the Knicks just lost shooting guard Tim Hardaway […]

The college basketball scandal from a few months ago continues to barrel its way around the NBA. Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reported that Andy Miller, the founder of ASM Sports, has “relinquished his NBPA certification,” according to a memo sent out to the league’s players from the National Basketball Player’s Association. The NBPA sent out […]

It’s been over five months since the New York Knicks fired Phil Jackson as team’s president of basketball operations. The Knicks have found Jackson’s successor in former team vice president Steve Mills, but if it were all up to team owner James Dolan, NBA legend Jerry West would be the one serving as team president […]

The New York Knicks will be without their offseason signing Tim Hardaway Jr. for at least two weeks with a stress injury in his lower left leg, according to ESPN’s Ian Begley. The Michigan standout likely avoided a potential fracture, which can have him on the shelf for up to two months in recovery. Hardaway […]

The slumping New York Knicks suffered yet another defeat as they were blitzed, 115-97, by the Indiana Pacers. The Knicks were simply flat out of the gates, going down by 26 points by halftime. They have now dropped five of their last six games to go back down below .500 for the first time since […]

It is no secret that New York Knicks center Joakim Noah is not exactly known for his shooting prowess. In fact, it is safe to say that everything about his shot looks extremely dysfunctional. Although Noah has become notorious for his bizarre shooting form, the Indiana Pacers’ raucous home crowd was not going to let him forget it. During the fourth quarter of the Pacers’ blowout win over […]

The New York Knicks are still waiting to learn the true extent of guard Tim Hardaway Jr.’s stress injury to his left shin which kept him out of their loss to the Orlando Magic. The New York Post’s Marc Berman consulted with Dr. Wellington Hsu, a top orthopedist at Northwestern University, who revealed how much […]

Although he couldn’t quite deliver another title to New York, Knicks center Patrick Ewing will go down as one of the legendary players in the storied franchise’s illustrious history. He was an outstanding player in his prime, with an amazing sense of scoring in a variety of ways. But as former Knicks assistant trainer Tim Walsh […]
