Derek Fisher

Members of the New York Knicks are beginning to trust, or perhaps express more trust, in, well the New York Knicks. Both the players and head coach Derek Fisher waxed optimism following the Knicks’ 107-101 win over the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday night, the team’s second in as many games, both of which have come [...]

Older Carmelo Anthony is pretty chill. In past years, Carmelo Anthony has sugarcoated answers and thoughts more so than most. His brand-built persona has left him very wealthy, but, for a while, there was contrived distance that existed between him and fans of unfiltered truth. Over the last year or so, though, Melo has become [...]

Anyone pulling for the New York Knicks to unload Jose Calderon ahead of the NBA’s February trade deadline might want to invest their sporting hopes in something else. Rookie sensation/Dirk Nowitzki-DeAndre Jordan hybrid/Future Hall of Famer/Eventual 10-time champion/Inevitable 12-time MVP Kristaps Porzingis loves Calderon, so that means the 34-year-old floor general isn’t going anywhere. This [...]

Anyone worried that the New York Knicks might not start Kristaps Porzingis to begin the 2015-16 season needn’t fret anymore. It looks like he will indeed begin the season as their starting power forward. Per Stefan Bondy of the New York Daily News (h/t ProBasketballTalk): Fisher started preseason with Porzingis as the starting power forward, [...]

Carmelo Anthony still has a job to do. Although the All-Star forward is done for the season after undergoing a successful knee debridement, the New York Knicks still want him hanging around, readying himself to be the emotional leader they need, the same one he’s never been.

Carmelo Anthony is just saying what we’re all thinking. Most know that as bad as the New York Knicks are, they won’t be rebuilding through conventional methods. Sure, they’ll welcome in Jahlil Okafor with open arms should they land the No. 1 overall pick. But this team is not about to wait around and let [...]

Playing through what is, as of now, the worst season in franchise history has left the New York Knicks searching for answers. On the heels of their Sunday loss to the Milwaukee Bucks—the team’s 11th in a row—the Knicks now sit at 5-31, with the most losses in the NBA. And just about everyone, from [...]

As the 2014-2015 NBA season gets underway, everyone already wants to know how it will end. Will the San Antonio Spurs repeat? Will Cleveland finally win one? When will big market franchises in the basement (Boston Celtics, Los Angeles Lakers, New York Knicks, and the Philadelphia 76ers) return to contention? Back on top, the Spurs [...]

Five-time NBA champion Derek Fisher is about to embark on a whole new journey next season—as a head coach for the New York Knicks. Phil Jackson, president of the Knicks’ basketball operations definitely has a good relationship with Fisher especially in their times together back in Los Angeles. Together with Kobe Bryant, they both thrived [...]

Never say J.R. Smith doesn’t have goals. Conventional goals, mind you. Not aspirations to open up his own chocolate factory that’s managed by Willy Wonka and a platoon of Oompa Loompas. Not hopes of one day building and living in a house made of beef jerky, cheese and ranch dressing. Actual, basketball-related goals that demand [...]
