Taking on the two-ways The 2017-18 NBA season saw the advent of two-way contracts . This allows teams to sign two players to low-money deals that allow them to spend most of their time in the G-League, but also up to 45 days with the parent NBA team. With the growing role of the G-League for player development in the NBA, these players should prove to be more and more important. In the...

A pleasant chat with the Knicks braintrust Remember just a little over a year ago , when Phil Jackson used to go two-thirds of a year hunched in a cave deep within the bowels of Madison Square Garden, sustaining himself on a diet of peyote and non-GMO microwave burritos, emerging only to briefly address/insult the news media and give strange, vague answers? Those days are thankfully long...

Art. New York Knicks superstar Kristaps Porzingis remains in his homeland of Latvia as he rehabs his torn ACL. And I’m sure the Latvian people are grateful to have their native son. Just how much do Latvians love Porzingis ? And what form does Latvian fan love take? Kristaps himself showed off some rather peculiar fan art on his Instagram feed. So, to break this image...

Hopefully their actual free agency plan is just a tad more complex The preseason may be just two-and-a-half weeks away (!!!), but if you thought we’d escaped the offseason doldrums of news coverage, you are sorely mistaken. On NBC Sports’ Bulls Talk podcast , Celtics reporter A. Sherrod Blakely suggested that the Knicks have Kyrie Irving on their mind already as their top target in...

Searching for the most efficient shots. The other day while I was drinking my morning coffee before I began work, I was perusing the internet and came across a Nylon Calculus article as like any cool, hip person who isn’t a total NBA math herb and absolutely does not smoke a stoge every now and then when first-world problems add stress to one’s life does on a regular basis. The article asked...

As a rookie you show promise, in your second season you follow it up with more consistency and by years three and four you’ve mostly figured “it” out and established yourself...

For modern-day Knicks fans, almost all pleasures are fleeting. Perhaps no greater example was the 2012-13 Knicks season, an orgasmic blip on a 15-year stretch of basketball erectile dysfunction. Part of the Viagra that...

Old man Kidd and the 2012-13 Knicks were a match made in heaven. Jason Kidd is being inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame this weekend. For most writers, this is a time to wax nostalgic about one of the greatest point guards ever; for this Knicks scribe, it’s an opportunity to talk about a 39-year-old spot-up jump shooter on the last decent New York squad the world has seen. To be...
