Despite being one of the most storied NBA franchises we have, the New York Knicks have only won two championships. The franchise has appeared in the playoffs 42 times since 1946, but capturing that elusive title has only come New York’s way twice. The 1969-70 Knicks were the first New York team in franchise history […]

It now seems like a lifetime ago, but the wounds of last offseason’s debacles still remain fresh in the memory of New York Knicks fans.

There’s no denying that the New York Knicks are in an absolute rut at the moment.

[…]

Walt Frazier took off the PG label from his otherwise impeccable answer when asked about his memories of Game 7 of the 1970 NBA Finals, aka The Willis Reed Game. Or the way Clyde knows it, as “bulls**t.” “They call it The Willis Reed Game and I call it ‘bulls**t,’” said Frazier at a Puma-sponsored […]

New York Knicks icon Walt Frazier thinks there’s still some potential for the franchise to attract star players in the future.

Walt Frazier believes nothing has changed even though the Brooklyn Nets pulled in Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving this past summer.

New York Knicks legend Walt Frazier says the Knicks are the perfect franchise for Kevin Durant to join if he wants to join or pass Michael Jordan and LeBron James on the Mount Rushmore of NBA players.

Former Golden State Warriors forward Stephen Jackson was irate at the idea that New York Knicks legend Walt Frazier would consider putting an asterisk by Kevin Durant’s name when it comes to the all-time greats.

Walt Frazier and Carmelo Anthony are two legendary members of the New York Knicks.

New York Knicks legend Walt Frazier knocked down Kevin Durant a couple of notches in the all-time list due to his sudden move to the Golden State Warriors in 2016.

New York Knicks legend and broadcaster Walt Frazier expressed some cautious optimism when it comes to next offseason. The Knicks have already kicked a plan in gear in hopes of reeling in one or more max-level stars to The Big Apple. If Kristaps Porzingis is extended to a max deal, that would leave enough salary […]

Aside from being the home of the best basketball in the world, the NBA has evolved into a player driven league. It is safe to say that a personality is the engine that keeps a player’s influence in the league. When we talk about influence, social media always pops into mind. Sadly, not everybody was […]

The 2017-18 NBA season ended in disarray for the New York Knicks. Unfortunately, the events from this year may carry over into next season.

The New York Knicks haven’t won an NBA championship since 1973. In those days, they had the self-proclaimed “best backcourt ever” in Walt Frazier and Earl Monroe running the show.

It was a disappointing season for Anthony Davis and the New Orleans Pelicans.

What do the New York Knicks and Ghostbusters have in common? The last time they both saw the spotlight was 15-plus years ago. 1999 was the last time the Knicks played in the NBA Finals while 10 years prior, in 1989, the most recent Ghosbusters movie (Ghostbusters II) was released in theaters to audiences world wide. Well […]
