New York Knicks

Remember when Carmelo Anthony wasn’t all about Kristaps Porzingis? I don’t either. That might be because Anthony was never down on him, or it could be because Porzingis won over his superstar teammate by telling him about the cornrows he used to have. Either way, Porzingis used to have cornrows, and he told Anthony about [...]

Let’s ask the question that’s been burning a hole in our brains for months. Are the San Antonio Spurs as good, if not better, than the Golden State Warriors? No. No, they are not. Golden State proved as much during its 120-90 romping of San Antonio on Monday night, setting the stage for our power [...]

Kevin Durant has a high opinion of New York Knicks rookie Kristaps Porzingis. And Unicorns. Per the Washington Post‘s Tim Bontemps: KD on KP: "He's a 7-footer who can shoot all the way out to the 3-point line … And he can blocks shots. That's a unicorn in this league." — Tim Bontemps (@TimBontemps) January [...]

Carmelo Anthony is working behind the scenes for the New York Knicks, whispering in the ears of the NBA’s highest-profile free agents. And he’s bringing snacks—specifically bread. No butter, no jam, no peanut butter. Nothing. Just breakable bread. With the New York Knicks getting set to play the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday night, the [...]

Half of the 2015-16 NBA season is in the books. Pat yourself on the back. You’ve done it. You’ve watched, you’ve cheered, you’ve moaned. You’ve wondered why it’s taken the Suns so damn long to sell off Markieff Morris. You’ve pondered the meaning of life whenever the Spurs or Warriors take the floor. You’ve lamented [...]

Carmelo Anthony was named to his ninth NBA All-Star team on Thursday, which is pretty cool. That he’s grabbed this many All-Star selections without ever making an NBA Finals appearance is not. At the same time, the company he joins is pretty damn esteemed, per ESPN.com’s Marc Stein: Melo now tied with Gervin & Nique [...]

Mike Conley will have no shortage of suitors when he hits the free agency market in July. And I’m only talking about NBA teams located in New York, not even the Memphis Grizzlies or the rest of the league. Sources told the New York Post‘s Marc Berman and Fred Kerber that both the Brooklyn Nets [...]

Kristaps Porzingis is going to be fine. Cue the sighs of relief coming from New York Knicks fans everywhere. The rookie landed awkwardly on his right foot after going up for a rebound late in the fourth quarter of New York’s Monday afternoon double-overtime victory over the Philadelphia 76ers. He tried to shake it off [...]

It has to suck playing in the NBA’s Western Conference. Unless you’re the Warriors or Spurs. Then it’s probably pretty chill. For those other 13 squads? Yeah, it sucks. Especially for the good-to-great contingents. The Clippers. The Thunder. The Mavericks, too. They scrap and they claw and they win, and yet no matter what they [...]

Carmelo Anthony, now 31 years old, is growing up. And, in turn, giving the ball up. The reputation the New York Knicks superstar has as a ball-stopper is a bit overstated, especially in recent years, as he’s refined his catch-and-shoot touch. But this season’s version of Anthony is the most selfless we have ever seen. [...]
