New York Knicks

Holy. Crap. On a Sunday teeming with what-ifs and regrets for the New York Knicks, Amar’e Stoudemire managed to steal the show. Prior to the Knicks’ victory over the Chicago Bulls, the always confident, rarely pigheaded Stoudemire uttered 11 words that may alter your perception of him for ever: 'On paper we might be the [...]

Not even Jesus Christ can save the New York Knicks now. Then again, Raymond Felton isn’t asking him to. J.R. Smith launched an NBA-record 22 three-pointers during the Knicks’ Sunday afternoon loss to the Miami Heat. So, wow. He drilled 11 of them, also setting the Knicks franchise record for made three-pointers in a single [...]

Though the two have held dialogues, they’ve yet to talk about the free-agent-to-be’s future with the New York Knicks. Here’s what Jackson had to say on their contact, per ESPN New [...]

Things are getting tense in the NBA. Months of playing and winning and losing and tanking and contending and injuries and comebacks and other stuff have come down to this: two-plus weeks of season-defining basketball.

Quite randomly, I stumbled upon the idea to develop an unpolished trust meter for every team, good and bad, tanker and contender, the Philadelphia 76ers and San [...]

Nothing beats that awkward moment when you realize the New York Knicks are still in the playoff race. I’m kidding. Save for their massive letdown against the Kyrie Irving-less Cleveland Cavaliers, the Knicks have been playing some nice ball of late—so much so, that we can mention “NBA playoffs” and “the Knicks” in the same [...]

Kyle Lowry is having one helluva season. And he’s about to have one helluva summer. After assuming inconsistent roles with the Memphis Grizzlies and Houston Rockets through the first six seasons of his career, Lowry has found a home with the Toronto Raptors. He’s averaging 17.3 points and 7.8 assists per game this season, making [...]

On most nights, Carmelo Anthony doesn’t sound like a man who’s going to leave the New York Knicks. After watching the franchise nab Phil Jackson, it seems even less likely.
