Amare Stoudemire

Carmelo Anthony wants the New York Knicks to exact revenge on the Boston Celtics. Badly. In 2011, Boston swept New York in the first round of the NBA playoffs. Two years later, the Knicks have the opportunity to return the favor. And Carmelo Anthony is excited. Strike that, he’s more than excited. He’s “super-duper-happy-excited” about [...]

The New York Knicks needed bodies to supplement their depleted front line with, and their not-so-extensive search brought them to James Singleton. Frank Isola of the New York Daily News first reported that the Knicks were interested in the 31-year-old Singleton, who has spent five seasons in the league with three different teams. Knicks close [...]

What rift? So much has been made of the New York Knicks’ pairing of Carmelo Anthony and Amar’e Stoudemire. They weren’t considered a fitting couple and Stoudemire’s injuries have only complicated matters and put their collective vision in jeopardy. Even as the two began to gel better on the court this season, running pick-and-rolls and [...]

Kenyon Martin doesn’t want his ride with the New York Knicks to end. After spending most of the season waiting by the phone for an NBA team to give him a shout, the 35-year-old Martin has found a home in the Big Apple. And per Ian Begley of ESPNNewYork.com, he’d like to keep it that [...]

It turns out Andrew Bynum has put the entire NBA in a difficult situation. Well, that’s a bit of a stretch. But the Philadelphia 76ers can take solace in knowing they’re not the only ones facing a gripping, Bynum-related decision. Set to become an unrestricted free agent upon season’s end, much has been made of [...]

A little more Pau Gasol sounds good right about now. With the Los Angeles Lakers 9-2 heading into their matchup with the Atlanta Hawks Wednesday night, Gasol wasn’t exactly an afterthought, but there wasn’t any urgency behind his return. But then the Lakers lost to the Hawks, Kobe Bryant and all. Bryant has a severely [...]

For the Philadelphia 76ers, there is both good news and bad news. According to John Mitchell of the Philadelphia Inquirer, Andrew Bynum’s contract for this season is insured against his knees, which is good news: If there is some good news to be gleaned from the 76ers’ experience with Andrew Bynum, it’s that they won’t [...]

As MSG completes a $1 billion dollar renovation, it seems odd that only 1 NBA All-Star Game ever took place there (in 1998), while the New York Knicks have made 5 NBA Finals. Honorable Mention: Bernard King’s 60, Amar’e Stoudemire’s 41, Carmelo Anthony’s 41, Kyrie Irving’s 41, Jeremy Lin’s 38 [...]

What’s ailing Carmelo Anthony? That’s the eight-figure question currently plaguing the New York Knicks. We know it has something to do with his knees and fluid, but how serious is it? Should he even have returned against the Golden State Warriors? Is there something else at play here? We can’t answer any of those questions. [...]

Josh Smith is at it again. Much has been made of Smith’s previous assertion that he is a max contract player and while the general consensus borders on split, J-Smoove is standing by his sentiments (via Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe): That was supposed to clear the pathway to happiness for Smith, who felt [...]
