The Knicks had a very promising season, largely in part due to the fact that Mike Woodson led his team and helped them achieve a handful of different things that hadn't been achieved in years. An Atlantic Division title, fifty-plus wins, and a playoff series' victory were all among those many things. But even so, when the pressure was on in the postseason, the Knicks were supposed to have...

Happy Father's Day, everyone! Though we're two people with very realistic expectations for the Knicks, about a month and a half ago, my father and I were marveling at the fact that around Father's Day this year, the Knicks could still be playing basketball...potentially competing in a heated NBA Finals matchup. Perhaps we'd be watching. Of course, such a feat is one that wasn't (and perhaps...

Though they only own the 24th overall selection in this month's NBA Draft, Glen Grunwald and the Knicks know anything they can happen. Trades often go down just seconds before a pick, and though a team may not have multiple draft choices, moves can always be made to snag another pick in order to reel in that second or third player that caught an executive's eye during workouts. All of this...

Fresh off retiring from the NBA as a player, Jason Kidd must've come to the conclusion that he was getting very bored very quickly after just a few days at home. The now former Knicks' guard is wasting no time looking for his next job, gunning for the Nets' vacant head coaching position. There are plenty of things farfetched with such a development. Just weeks after last donning orange and...

The Knicks have only begun pre-draft workouts, but a wide variety of prospects have already been seen, with an even more diverse group of players set to continuing strolling in as the weeks go on. So far, New York has worked out potential first-round selections, some likely second-rounders, and even a handful that just may fall below the radar (like Norvel Pelle, pictured above), and go...

After falling short of some very prevalent expectations following a second-round playoff loss to the Indiana Pacers, there's no doubt the Knicks have room for improvement. There are plenty of positions and/or players New York can stand to upgrade, with a handful of voids to be filled. The first order of business will be exploring such improvements via this month's NBA Draft, but from there,...

Every Knicks fan in the Big Apple knows Spike Lee's passion. Over the past couple of seasons, fans have also become familiar with media personality Ben Lyons' said ability to live the "real fan life." Those two may often be front and center at The Garden, but who can forget about Steve Schirripa? Star of The Sopranos fame, the actor has also been a staple at "The World's Most Famous Arena"...

Just days after watching his co-Rookie of the Year from 1995, Grant Hill, call it quits, Jason Kidd ultimately decided to do the same. He and the Knicks announced his retirement from the NBA following a Hall of Fame career that spanned over 19 seasons. Following a career that included one NBA championship, five All-NBA teams, 10 all-star appearances, 9 All-NBA Defensive teams, and two...

As the Knicks begin to explore different offseason possibilities and aim to improve the team a bit, superstar Carmelo Anthony apparently has some of his own ideas as to what his offseason agenda would be. The Brooklyn native reportedly hopes the Knicks will look to add a stronger second scoring option to back him up and/or provide the latter part of a one-two offensive punch for New York....

Though the Knicks bowed out in the second round of the playoffs this season, there's still plenty to be excited about. After instilling a defensive mentality throughout his squad, Mike Woodson led the way and helped New York accomplish great things. An Atlantic Division title, a 54 win season, and a playoff series' victory were all things that happened under Woodson's watch. Needless to say,...

Last offseason, as he came off quite the turbulent year as assistant coach with Dwight Howard and the Orlando Magic, Knicks legend Patrick Ewing interviewed with his buddy and Bobcats owner Michael Jordan for the team's head coaching position. As Ewing ultimately was not offered the job, he opted to take the year off from coaching. This coincidentally allowed him to rekindle some previously...

Earlier Saturday, my pal Jared Zwerling reported that Amar'e Stoudemire will be hitting the gym for the second straight summer with Hakeem "The Dream" Olajuwon. Such a report has been met with a bevy of sighs and eye rolls from Knicks fans everywhere. Of course, the fact that STAT is looking to improve his game even further is a positive, but staying healthy would undoubtedly be a plus....

Mike Krzyzewski and Jim Boheim are in, but Mike D'Antoni and Nate McMillan are out. The Duke and Syracuse coaches will stay on (as head coach and assistant coach, respectively) board with Team USA, but both spots previously occupied by the said NBA coaches are now up for grabs. Coach D'Antoni has reportedly cited the time commitment necessary as part of his reasoning for moving on,...
