New York Knicks

The NBA is supposed to be fun. A lot of people understand that. Others don’t. Those people, the overly serious and belligerently antagonistic ones, won’t want to see what follows. This mark’s the inception of The Hoop Doctor’s PG-13 NBA Power Rankings, where almost anything goes. Language may sometimes not be suitable for those reading at [...]

Carmelo Anthony is, well, confusing. The New York Knicks forward has long been criticized for just about everything he does—shooting, defending, shooting, a lack of passing, shooting, his capacity to lead, shooting, his playoff record and shooting. I’ve personally never had a problem with his style of play. Should he pass out of double teams [...]

New Head Coach of the Brooklyn Nets Jason Kidd recently joked with Carmelo Anthony during a 9-11 dedication about changing uniforms. All Kidd-ing aside, Carmelo Anthony, LeBron James, and Kobe Bryant lead the list of the NBA’s free agents in the summer of 2014. Anthony’s name has been mentioned in connection with the Los Angeles [...]

The New York Knicks were old last season. Really old. Historically old. And Raymond Felton knows it. While at Macy’s in Herald Square making an appearance on behalf of Under Armour, Felton pointed out that New York’s roster was too old season and ultimately cost the team a shot at the title: We’re a younger [...]

Where is the love? The Brooklyn Nets and New York Knicks do not like each other. More specifically, Paul Pierce does not like the Knicks, and J.R. Smith doesn’t like the Nets. Those two have been fueling this rivalry since the Boston Celtics helped make Brooklyn a legitimate title contender. Both parties have gone back [...]

General managers are rarely honest. Lying, deflecting and evading are (probably) in their job description. Nothing the NBA’s maneuvering minds say can be taken at face value—most of the time. On certain occasions, however, there are moments of clarity. Sometimes, they can be genuine and truthful. This is one of those times. Houston Rockets GM [...]

Words cannot describe Metta World Peace. Luck for us, then, that he has no problem using words of his own. While we may be at a loss for them, he never is. Ever. And such was the case at a signing for his children’s book “Metta’s Bedtime Stories,” where he predicted that the Los Angeles [...]

LeBron James wants that third straight NBA title. So does Dwyane Wade. And Chris Bosh. And the rest of the Miami Heat. But Steve Kerr doesn’t think they’re going to get it. During an interview with Ben Bolch of the Los Angeles Times (h/t Sun Sentinel), the TNT NBA analyst made it clear he doesn’t [...]

Well this is encouraging. Most of the NBA’s regular season is dedicated to the games being played, to the teams that are winning, the teams that are losing and the championship stakes at hand. Another part of it, however, is spent dancing around free agency. Where will the biggest names land? Who will and who [...]

Every so often I come across something said awhile ago that I find interesting and think wasn’t talked about enough. This is one of those times. Speaking with ESPN New York’s Jared Zwerling, Carmelo Anthony said he thinks the NBA’s balance of power has shifted from the Western Conference to the Eastern Conference. “When I [...]
