Ever since the pandemic, the NCAA has been absolutely destroyed by litigation at every turn. Lawsuits have recently allowed Juco players to attain extra eligibility, COVID waivers, and the mass expansion of Name, Image, and Likeness that has turned the institution into a de facto professional minor league. The latest phenomenon includes players who have […]

It’s been an up-and-down journey for Tyler Kolek since the Knicks drafted him 34th overall in the 2024 NBA Draft. Despite flashes during his rookie season, the 2023 Big East Player of the Year was largely stuck riding the pine with Tom Thibodeau at the helm. He appeared in 41 games, but only played a […]

Win the NBA Cup now, deal with schedule losses later. That’s where the New York Knicks are at, right? Here’s a bunch of what we heard from the protagonists of yesterday’s affair. Mike Brown On the need for Towns to stop making dumb fouls: “With KAT, obviously, he can score. He had 40 tonight. I […]

The NBA must have expected this to be a lively game. For the New York Knicks’ (20*-9) visit to the Minnesota Timberwolves (20-10), the league enlisted an officiating crew of Josh Tiven, Sean Corbin, and Michael Smith. By my count, that’s 76 years of NBA officiating experience, and the league was right. With the Knicks […]

The New York Knicks have had plenty to celebrate this December, from being Emirates NBA Cup champions to winning eight of their 10 games. One of the most laudatory moments of the season, though, came off the floor. Most Knicks players earned about $530,000 for winning the NBA Cup. For Josh Hart, Jalen Brunson, and […]

Imagine their frequent flyer miles! Today, the New York Knicks (20*-8) will zip to Minnesota to face the Timberwolves (19-10) of the hinterlands. Then they’ll have to jet home in time to play the Christmas Day matinee. Let’s hope they’ve had time to wrap Christmas presents, or, like this extravagantly rich writer, have a well-paid […]

Erik Spoelstra is a legend. He’s on the short list of the greatest coaches in NBA history and is a surefire first-ballot Hall of Famer. He took over for one of the NBA’s all-time great coaches in Pat Riley and didn’t miss a beat, taking the job at age 38. Despite having to manage the […]

The Heat thought they could take advantage of a tired Knicks team. Too bad for Miami, they were cold and the Burner was hella hot. Here’s everything from the protagonists of Sunday’s affair. Mike Brown On Jalen Brunson’s MVP-level performance on Sunday: “For him to score 47, especially on 15-for-26 shooting, 6-for-13 from three-point range, […]

Jalen Brunson and the New York Knicks (20*-8) faced the Miami Heat (15-14) for the fourth and final time tonight. The Heat jumped out to a 37-30 first-quarter lead behind Kel’el Ware’s hot shooting and a 7-of-11 performance from three-point range, while Brunson kept the Knicks close with 14 points. New York’s bench sparked a […]

The Knicks enter the holiday week with little time to catch their breath, facing a stretch of familiar faces and balding foes. I count four plane rides, to-and-from arenas; one early game and one at noon . . . on Christmas, no less; and one contest that feels like a scheduled loss. This year, our […]

Let’s just say that was a schedule loss… …cause it was. Here’s the latest from your Knickerbockers. Mike Brown On officiating involving OG Anunoby: “I thought he was aggressive on his drives, he didn’t get any calls. It’s a weird game and the officials, they got a tough job but I don’t know if I’ll […]

Yesterday, the New York Knicks (19*-8) won a last 114-113 battle with the Pacers in Indiana. Tonight, they were back at Madison Square Garden to face the Philadelphia 76ers (15-11). The Knicks struggled with turnovers (again) and three-point shooting to start, but managed to close the first quarter tied at 29. Karl-Anthony Towns and Mitchell […]

Recently, a west coast friend tuned into a Knicks game and texted me, “Who’s the giraffe on skates?” He was referring to Mohamed Diawara, the 20-year-old French forward who the Knicks drafted 51st this past summer. Diawara stands about 6’9” with a reported 7-foot-4 wingspan and was targeted by the Knicks as a low-cost, high-upside […]

Ain’t it good to be home? The New York Knicks (19*-7) have endured a demanding stretch this week, with a trip to Vegas—including a hard-fought game with the Magic and Tuesday’s equally challenging NBA Cup win—plus a quick jaunt to Indiana for yesterday’s last-second win. Less than 24 hours later, the Knicks return to Madison […]
