The NFL’s “Hard Knocks” has been a very popular show amongst football fans over the past handful of years because cameras follow one particular team around during training camp to show you what goes on behind the scenes. The NBA has something similar to that called “The Association” on NBA TV. Last year, the team that was followed around was the Boston Celtics. This year, NBA TV is interested in the Knicks.
The NBA reality show, “The Association’’ has contacted the Knicks about being the subject of their third season, according to a television source.
“The Association’’ — an up-close, behind-the-scenes series — is similar to HBO’s NFL documentary series “Hard Knocks’’ that once followed the Jets. Talks with the Knicks are only in their initial stage.
Last season, “The Association’’ followed the Celtics with Donnie Wahlberg as narrator. Two years ago, it featured the Lakers, and Andy Garcia was the narrator.
The Knicks intrigue NBA TV because of the newly transformed Garden and their transformed team with the Big Apple 3 of Amar’e Stoudemire, Carmelo Anthony and Chauncey Billups.
