While Garnett was optimistic about the NBA’s overall support for the Knicks, highlighting key players like Jalen Brunson, the injured Julius Randle, and Bojan Bogdanovic, Pierce believed that the team needed more time for development and cohesion, suggesting they require an additional year for “seasoning” and better chemistry with their new additions. “The Knicks is like an Instagram model,” Pierce said. “I be on Instagram and I be like, ‘Damn she fine.’ Then you catch ‘em in person and you’re like… ‘This you?’ It’s too many filters.” Garnett aimed to provide clarification regarding Pierce’s remarks. “It’s two different things – reality vs. digital?” Garnett asked his former teammate. “So what am I watching on TV then?” Pierce responded, “An Instagram model. They got that Fashion Nova on.”

You know, when I’m not your favorite player and you rooting for your favorite player, and the villain wins… But that’s all right, I’ll continue to be the villain.

Christopher Hine: Naz Reid on Anthony Edwards coming back from injury: “I called it a Paul Pierce moment. I’m never really worried. He’s tough enough, he’ll come back. That’s kind of like a joke that I always tell with him and Kyle, like, ‘You ain’t tired,’ or ‘You’re not hurt.’ “ -via Twitter @ChristopherHine / February 28, 2024
