This is also an early birthday gift, so I'm really really happy regardless of this start. I blew off studying for the bar for two weeks in June to celebrate our win. Game 4 is the greatest sports high I've ever felt and easily beats becoming barred if I'm being honest🤣🤣 Go Knicks!!!

The Basketball Gods have given us a portent that surely ensures a Knicks winning streak, praise unto them. Ball is truly life.

Knicks are not going back to back folks. It’s alright, most teams don’t these days!

Only the multi-stacked Heat/Warriors teams have accomplished this within the last 15 years (each one overcoming a 3-2 deficit along the way).

Once you heard ownership say no to going in the 2nd apron, you already knew what time it was…

It should still be a fun season of basketball for the NBA as a whole. And regardless of who else wins the title in 2027, their fanbase will not have the same impact of a rapid Knicks Fanbase!

How much would you sell this for?

I’m based in the UK and not sure 100% sure where I got the jacket from - I did go to a Knicks game back in 2013, so not sure if I got it from there or from a vintage shop in NY or a vintage shop here in the UK sometime in the 2010s.

What era is it from, is it rare or anything? If I was to sell it how much should I list it for?

Sarcastic comments not helpful, please. I’m just looking for some information so that I can list it accurately when trying to sell. I have no idea how much it’s worth.

I know these past 3 games was a rough start for our guys but I just wanted to share how KAT just keeps evolving with every game. Despite it all, he keeps his head in the game and manages to keep us afloat knowing they may not make it all the way. He's been pulling dunks, allyoops, and even downtown 3s that he normally wouldn't be so comfortable doing off the bat. Watching him so far, it seems like the hesitation is melting off of his plays and he looks really confident. It's really awesome to see in the clumsy-moving goofball that I always kept believing in even when people questioned if he was even worth the trade. I fucking love this dude and his game. His growth is never ending and it's always a blast watching him on the court.

Sorry for the tangent, just wanted to let out how awesome KAT was during these games 😅

The Knicks are shooting the ball as if the court is made of Jell-O, but only when they’re on offense. They’re lacking in physicality. They’re not running.

These are all the signs of a team with tired legs, but it’s the first week of the season. How could that be? The aftermath of winning a title still appears to be lingering into the next season.

It’s not time to panic. At all. Don’t. The Knicks deserve grace. They’re the defending champions. They’ve gotten off to slow regular-season starts before and then looked the part come the postseason.

But it is time to wake up and replace some of the talk about turning the page with action. The East is going to be unforgiving this year. Too slow a start will make it that much harder to get the coveted home-court advantage in the playoffs

Mike Brown said Drummond will remain the first backup in Tuesday’s game against the Pistons. 

“I felt our transition defense wasn’t good during that time, not just because of [Drummond], but I wanted to go with a change,” Brown said. “Wiseman’s been playing well in practice. I wanted to give him an opportunity and I thought he was pretty good in his first stint [in the first half]. And so I decided to go with him for a second stint. But Andre will go out there as a backup in the next game.” 

I spent my entire life enduring constant pain and suffering from all the losing, playoff disappointments, and more losing. Which is why last season's success meant so much more. Winning the tournament cup, absolutely dominating the playoffs, all the clutch comebacks during the finals, that shit broke my brain and now losses don't feel as bad. I know logically we should try to compete and aim for a repeat, but I just don't care as much anymore. Fuck it, we're the champs ain't we? Idk I'm drunk

With the Sacramento Kings starting their season 0-3, many people are discussing what that might mean for their championship aspirations this season. I was curious and wanted to see how many teams that eventually won the championship that season opened the year with a losing streak (a streak being 2+ games).

In NBA history, 6 teams have started the year 0-2 or worse and went on to win the title. Almost all of them were coming off of a trip to the Finals or winning the championship.

Hey Everyone,

I won these shoes in an online contest sponsored by Skechers Basketball (the typical "Follow, Comment, Tag 3 Friends"... yes, it actually worked) and I plan on donating them to a nonprofit's fundraising gala.

I'm new to all this - I've never gotten memorabilia graded and don't know how to properly price a signed piece. Considering the exclusivity of the sneaker, OG's Game 4 tip-in, and Knicks winning the title, how much would I price these at? What's the value and what do you suppose the starting bid would be?

I do not have a letter of authenticity but I do have a DM history with the official Skechers Basketball instagram. I reached out to them explaining my intentions with the sneakers and if it's possible for Skechers Basketball to send a letter acknowledging the shoes / signature's authenticity.

Looking forward to your comments. Thanks for reading!

Hi everyone!!
My husband and I will be attending a Knicks game at Madison Square Garden for the first time!
I live in Europe, and this will be my first time visiting MSG and watching the Knicks play in person! I’m a huge Knicks fan, and my husband is a big sports fan, so we’re both really excited!
Do you have any tips or recommendations for first timers? Anything we should know, do, or experience to make the most of our visit?
Thanks in advance! 🧡💙

Every time things start going well, I catch myself waiting for something to go wrong 😂

Years of watching this team will do that to you. Even when we have a good squad, I can't just sit back and enjoy it without thinking about what could go wrong.

The difference now is that I actually have reasons to be excited, which somehow makes me even more nervous.

I just want to watch a Knicks game without doing playoff math in my head or checking injury updates every five minutes.

Anyone else still have that automatic Knicks fan pessimism even when things are looking good?

We have a contest at my job that is for decorating the pumpkins, not carving them. So I had the bright idea to do OG’s tip-in as my pumpkin display. It came out pretty much exactly as I envisioned, and I’m hoping the Knicks good will ends up winning me first place lol. Thought I’d share with the community cause I know y’all will appreciate it.

For the life of me can’t understand why this guy can’t get a run of games with consistent minutes. He’s obviously competing with Alvarado for minutes but he offers something so different that I think we could use especially during the regular season.

His biggest strength is being a true, pass first PG. He defers to all the starters and is looking to get them easy looks at all times whether it be in transition or the half court.

I even would like to see him in some lineups with Brunson. I don’t know if his shooting is there yet where we can play with Josh on the floor too, but he can run some offense while taking some on ball pressure off of JB.

Am I the only one who feels like he’s earned a chance at some real minutes!
