Carmelo Anthony

Call Steve Novak what you like, but there’s a correlation to be drawn between him and the New York Knicks winning. Doofy. Clumsy. Un-athletic. Slow. Whiter than snow. All of these are words or phrases often associated with Novak. What’s not often (enough) associated with the stretch forward, is his importance to the current Knicks [...]

Carmelo Anthony and the New York Knicks need to be careful, not reckless. But it seems the latter is prevailing. We’ve been led to believe that Melo’s knee is a perplexing mystery, but real “mystery” is why he hasn’t got it drained. We know there’s fluid in there, he needs to just get it out [...]

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. [...]

Serge Ibaka received an early (late?) Christmas gift from the NBA. Following an incident where Ibaka maliciously (yes, maliciously) struck Blake Griffin in the groin, the Oklahoma City Thunder’s power forward was fined $25,000 for his actions and his Flagrant 1 was upgraded to a Flagrant 2. Serge Ibaka has been fined $25,000 for his [...]

Carmelo Anthony’s latest injury is both serious and not-so-serious. The New York Knicks’ star forward left Monday night’s game against the Cleveland Cavaliers with a bruised right knee and did not return. Though he himself asserted that it wasn’t serious at all, any bump or bruise New York’s leading scorer suffers is cause for major [...]

The NBA has a big issue on their hands. A huge one. Gigantic even. They have a sportsmanship problem. Almost a year ago, I penned a piece about sportsmanship, one that involved Serge Ibaka and Dwyane Wade. In that particular situation Ibaka and Wade became entangled. Okay, Ibaka essentially fell on Wade’s neck. The way [...]

Stephen Curry torched the New York Knicks for 54 points Wednesday night, sending the most potent of “what could have been” messages possible. As I’m sure most remember, the Knicks had their sights set on Curry in the 2009 NBA draft, but the Golden State Warriors took him seventh overall. Adding insult to injury was [...]

The New York Knicks aren’t using Amar’e Stoudemire enough, or even correctly. This isn’t one of those “The Knicks need to start Stoudemire” rants. I, like most, understand that Carmelo Anthony is best at the power forward position and, therefore, Amar’e is best served coming off the bench. That said, there’s an issue with his [...]
