NY Post (Peter Botte) —
Two players in NBA history have scored at least 25 points and grabbed at least 15 rebounds in one game before their 20th birthdays. One is LeBron James, among the greatest players of all time. The other is Kevin Knox, who is nowhere close to being spoken about in those terms, but who accomplished that...

Willy Hernangomez is taking the line from “The Dark Knight” — “You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain” — to heart. The one-time fan favorite may become a sworn Garden enemy with comments like these. “Now my job,” he said of close friend Kristaps Porzingis, “is to...

Kemba Walker didn’t shut the door completely, leaving it open just enough to give Knicks fans a glimmer of hope. “I don’t have any interest in coming back home — right now,” the Hornets’ free-agent-to-be point guard said when asked if playing for his hometown Knicks would appeal to him. At least the dynamic Bronx...

If the Knicks were hoping to convince Kemba Walker to join them next summer as a free agent, at least they can say their youthful core put up a fourth-quarter fight in their latest ugly defeat this season. One night after a late rally fell short against the rival Nets, the Knicks couldn’t climb all...

Realizing what it takes to win in the NBA is an education in itself. The Knicks and Nets are seeing what it takes, but seeing it and making it happen are two different worlds. The Nets were determined to show they are not tanking this season and thoroughly embarrassed the Knicks 112-104 on their home...

Kemba is coming to town for the holidays. Kemba Walker, The Bronx’s finest point guard, couldn’t stop smiling in August when talking about the Knicks at a Players Association function at Basketball City at Pier 36. Walker even knew the holiday date of the Hornets’ first visit to the Garden. Yes, it is Sunday night,...

Knicks coach David Fizdale put Frank Ntilikina back on the floor during a timeout with 3:43 left in the third quarter and the Knicks down 16 to the Nets on Saturday night. Receiving a nice hand from the Garden crowd, Ntilikina, after sitting three straight games, provided a renewed energy and spark — but it...

Kentucky coach John Calipari, at the Garden for Saturday’s clash with Seton Hall, weighed in on Knicks rookie Kevin Knox’s early-season struggles — stressing his former Wildcats star was the second-youngest player in the draft and will ultimately succeed in the NBA because of his “multi-dimensional’’ skills. “I was with his parents last night –...

It’s almost mid-December, but it’s preseason for Knicks veteran Courtney Lee. If that uncontested blown layup wasn’t evidence enough Monday against the Wizards , then here is Lee’s frank review of his first two games, in which he’s shot 1-for-7. “It’s going to take a while to get reactivated to game-speed, game-like situations,’’ Lee said...

Three-game message sent. Knicks coach David Fizdale gave all indications Frank Ntilikina is no longer French toast. After benching him for three straight games, including letting him sit during Thursday’s nationally televised 128-100 loss in Boston, it looks as if the 2017 lottery pick will be back in the mix when the Knicks host a...

Mario Hezonja’s starting small forward stretch, which has reached nine games, has been what you’d least expect — all defense, no offense. “Super Mario can pass, defend, rebound, too,’’ Hezonzja cracked. “Super Mario’s not just, ‘Hey, damn he scored, he’s so good,’ or, ‘Oh he didn’t score, he’s so bad.’” It’s been a slight mystery...

BOSTON – The Celtics are starting to get it together and also have good memories. Thursday night’s game stood to be a dicey challenge for David Fizdale’s baby Knicks, making their TNT season debut. “It’s definitely a game that I remember, so as a competitor I can’t wait to play,” Kyrie Irving said before the...

BOSTON — Lance Thomas’ return to action is imminent. Thomas, who underwent arthroscopic knee surgery Nov. 9, looked very active during Thursday’s morning shootaround at TD Garden, and Knicks coach David Fizdale indicated he is close to being back in the mix. The longest-tenured Knick, Thomas began the season as starting power forward, but his...

BOSTON — Up in the land of Kyrie, Knicks coach David Fizdale gave his strongest case yet that the Knicks have become an attractive free-agent destination after 25 games on the job.

Are the Boston Celtics finally getting things figured out? Big question for sports bettors heading into Thursday night’s battle between Boston and the New York Knicks (TNT, 8:05 p.m.).
