With all the news surrounding the New York Knicks this summer: the signing of coach Jeff Hornacek, the acquisitions of Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah, one subject remains in the shadows.

My how the mighty have fallen. New York Knicks point guard Derrick Rose – former No. 1 overall pick and former MVP – did not make the cut to be included on SI.com’s Top 100 players list for the upcoming 2016-17 season. That might be stunning to some. Rob Mahoney of Sports Illustrated explained why Rose didn’t make the […]

The Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame induction has been a unique opportunity to receive honest feedback in one of the most reserved owners in the NBA — Jerry Reinsdorf. Reinsdorf, who’s owned the Chicago Bulls for the past 31 years, shared his thoughts of the wheeling-and-dealing that’s happened over the span of this summer, namely […]

One of the biggest themes entering the 2016-17 NBA season is the return of departed stars to their old home markets.

After being in the news this summer for different reasons, from his reaction to finding out he was traded by the Chicago Bulls to referring to his new team, the New York Knicks, as a “super team” just like the Golden State Warriors, Derrick Rose has certainly raised a lot of eyebrows and got roasted on the internet, […]

The rift between New York Knicks point guard Derrick Rose and Chicago Bulls guard Jimmy Butler has always been over analyzed and misstated. There have been plenty of reports about tensions between the two stars playing together in Chicago, and not enjoying playing with each other.

The Derrick Rose the world fell in love with was a Chicago born Bulls player, wearing jersey number one, and among the most exciting and promising young stars. Since those days, injuries fell heavy on Rose, made him slower, less explosive, and simply different from the uber-athlete we witnessed in his first few pro-years. Those are not the […]

Derrick Rose, the once first overall pick of the 2008 draft, is ready for a change. It’s been two months since he was traded from his hometown of Chicago to the New York Knicks, and he’s looking to make the best out of his opportunity. Dealing with change Rose started his career as one of […]

Derrick Rose still believes he can be the player that he once was. Largely, his comeback has been successful from a health standpoint the last two years. But, Rose has loftier goals for himself. When Derrick won the MVP award in 2010-11, he averaged 25 points, 7.7 assists, and 4.1 rebounds per game. Despite a […]

Derrick Rose still hasn’t changed his stance about the New York Knicks being considered as a “super team.” When Kevin Durant left OKC to join Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, and the rest of the Golden State Warriors, fans and members of the media began anointing that moniker on the Dubs, and for good […]

If it wasn’t for the Olympics, the buzz around basketball would be fairly low at the moment, at least compared to the rest of the year. We’re in the middle of the offseason, nearly two months removed from the end of the Finals and a little over two months from the start of the 2016-17 […]

It’s not everyday that you get a chance to hear your name called out in front of everyone by Drake. That’s exactly what happened to one New York Knicks player this week.

The Bulls acquired Jose Calderon, and Robin Lopez from the New York Knicks, but even with Derrick Rose being the main piece in that trade, the Bulls got a, “very solid, above average center” in Robin Lopez.

When Amar’e Stoudemire joined the New York Knicks back in 2010, the fanbase was ecstatic to have such a big star coming to town. He’d made four All-NBA teams, was named an All-Star five times, and he was one of the scariest big men to defend in the game during his time in Phoenix. After […]

It’s a familiar sight for new Timberwolves head coach Tom Thibodeau when he looks back toward the East Coast and sees the New York Knicks roster.

After the biggest comeback in NBA finals history, the Cleveland Cavaliers have ruled the basketball world.

Last week, the Chicago Bulls traded the one-time league MVP Derrick Rose to the New York Knicks for a package headlined by Robin Lopez.
