The New York Knicks were very close to adding a bona fide superstar to their roster last summer. Unfortunately for them, they somehow missed out on Donovan Mitchell, who is now playing some pretty excellent basketball with the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Knicks, for their part, have been left with a relatively formidable group led by […]

A quarter of the way into the 2022-23 NBA season, the New York Knicks look like a team in basketball purgatory. The squad owns a mediocre 10-11 record, good enough for the 10th-best in the Eastern Conference. On the one hand, the team isn’t bad enough to have a legitimate shot at a top pick […]

Jalen Brunson couldn’t help but be disappointed with himself after failing to rescue the New York Knicks for the second straight game. Brunson missed two straight shots in the final 10 seconds of their 127-123 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday. His pullup jump shot with 9.8 seconds left would have given them the […]

Jalen Brunson’s strong play this season has made it easier for New York Knicks fans to forget about the disappointment from the offseason.

The New York Knicks and the Memphis Grizzlies battled it out on Sunday night in what turned out to be a real spectacle. It was an eye-opening matchup between two of the top guards in the NBA today in Ja Morant and Jalen Brunson, but in the end, it was the Grizzlies that pulled through, […]

Unfortunately for the Knicks, it was the Blazers that emerged victorious in overtime, 132-129. It was a hard-fought battle for […]

The New York Knicks have been a laughingstock of the NBA for many years now. James Dolan has been one of the worst owners in the NBA, as he has not been surrounding their core guys with the right pieces to remain competitive in the Eastern Conference. A fourth seed runs in 2021 was the […]

Are the New York Knicks figuring things out? Perhaps. Jalen Brunson and Julius Randle led the way for the Knicks in their 106-103 victory against the Denver Nuggets, snapping their ignominious 16-year losing streak in Colorado. Randle, in particular, had his way against the Nuggets defense, dropping 34 points (on 11-21 shooting from the field) […]

There are fewer things that stir the emotion more than witnessing your favorite sports team suffer a heartbreaking defeat.

New Knicks recruit Jalen Brunson will get his first taste of action in this rivalry, and it is clear that he’s raring to […]

The New York Knicks record is 3-1 after four games, and offseason acquisition Jalen Brunson is a big reason why.

However, things did not go as planned. The Knicks went just 37-45, finishing 11th in the Eastern Conference. Part of it was due to New York’s […]

Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic knows life without Jalen Brunson will be different and possibly more difficult; however, he doesn’t want to focus on that and on a guy that is no longer with the Mavs. Speaking with Callie Caplan of the Dallas Morning News, Doncic talked about the new-look Mavs and their prospects minus […]

Somewhat overshadowed by all the disappointment surrounding the New York Knicks’ botched pursuit of Donovan Mitchell is the fact that this team made one of the biggest moves in free agency when they brought in Jalen Brunson.

Jalen Brunson hasn’t played better in his career than when he lit up the Utah Jazz and the Phoenix Suns for the Dallas Mavericks in the 2022 postseason.

There aren’t a lot of expectations for the New York Knicks this season in a jam-packed Eastern Conference, especially after missing out on Donovan Mitchell, who ultimately got traded to the Utah Jazz.

In early June, Tom Thibodeau welcomed Jalen Brunson’s father Rick Brunson onto the New York Knicks coaching staff as an assistant.

The 2021 – 22 NBA season did not go according to plan for the New York Knicks. After a surprise run to the playoffs, expectations in the Big Apple was high. Many expected the team to build off of that season and take baby steps to becoming a true contender again. Instead, the Knicks did […]

The New York Knicks made a major splash as soon as free agency opened this summer as they confirmed the big-money signing of highly sought-after free agent Jalen Brunson.

While no coach would probably want to see a hardworking star player leave the franchise, Dallas Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd is actually happy for Jalen Brunson, who left the Mavs for the New York Knicks.

If there’s anyone who knows what it takes to succeed under the bright lights of New York, it’s former New York Knicks coach Jeff Van Gundy.
