New York Knicks

NBA Free agency is approximately nine months away, and yet the Kevin Durant sweepstakes are already underway. This is to say, the rumor mill is alive with speculation. Mostly Stephen A. Smith’s. ESPN’s foremost authority on loud articulation has already alleged that Carmelo Anthony is pitching KD on joining the New York Knicks. He even [...]

Of the many, many, many, many things Carmelo Anthony is criticized for, his apparent shortfalls as a leader remain most unsettling. After being traded from the New York Knicks to the Cleveland Cavaliers, J.R. Smith, a known friend of Anthony’s, essentially came out and explained the differences between Melo’s and LeBron James’ leadership qualities. He [...]

Carmelo Anthony doesn’t seem as if he’s in the good graces of Colin Cowherd. On Tuesday’s The Herd with Colin Cowherd, Fox Sports’ newest talking head had something unflattering to say about the New York Knicks superst—er, I mean, the New York Knicks forward, because Cowherd clearly isn’t OK with calling Melo a superstar: "He's [...]

New York Knicks rookie Kristaps Porzingis is in Carmelo Anthony’s good graces. That is, so long as being allowed to play five-on-five with Melo at Melo’s gym constitutes as being in Melo’s good graces. We’re going to assume it does.

This is what happens, and it’s usually worse around this time, during the dog days of summer, when [...]

Phil Jackson is already cashing in on the offseason goodwill he earned among New York Knicks fans. The Zen Master has spent a majority of the summer surprising New York’s fiercely loyal fanbase in a good way. He didn’t do anything stupid on draft night—like trading away the No. 4 pick for a slop heap [...]

Andre Drummond is lit. The NBA released its 2015-16 schedule on Wednesday, much to the displeasure of the Detroit Pistons big man: 20 back to back games ….. No national televised games….. Cool — Andre Drummond (@AndreDrummondd) August 12, 2015 Welp. If it makes Drummond feel better, the Los Angeles Lakers only make 19 nationally [...]

Carmelo Anthony, the basketball player, has come under a great deal of fire since the New York Knicks’ offseason kicked off. Naturally, that means Carmelo Anthony, the social-media caper, will have to take over from time to time. Melo has already hit the Instagram comment sections once this summer to refute reports that he was [...]

Carmelo Anthony just isn’t that into you. But he’s definitely into the triangle offense. Part seven of Charlie Rosen’s Phil Files dropped for ESPN.com, and in this edition, New York Knicks president Phil Jackson talked shop on the team’s individual players.
