Taylor Swift And Amar'e Stoudemire Are Buddies(?)

Phil Jackson Gets Mad At Perfectly Legitimate Criticism
The New York Knicks aren't a very good basketball team, and at times this season they have clearly struggled to implement coach Derek Fisher's version of the triangle offense.

We Have To Talk About Carmelo Anthony's Hat
Carmelo Anthony wore this hat during his postgame interview on Friday night, and boy, is it a hat. It's debatable whether acid-washed pork pie hats are a real thing, or if Anthony created this in a laundry accident that involved a lot of bleach....
The Kings Introduced The Warriors With The <em>Full House</em> Theme
Visiting teams are used to getting booed during the introductions of their starting lineups. So maybe, the Sacramento arena crew figured, they might be thrown off by getting laughed at. At Wednesday's opener, they cued up the Full House theme music to welcome the Bay Area squad....
Oh Nothing, Just Taylor Swift Hanging Out With Her Pals From The Knicks
Taylor Swift is the new Queen of New York, or something, so she went to Madison Square Garden to hang out with Carmelo Anthony and Amar'e Stoudemire.

Video Finally Surfaces Of Willis Reed Fighting The Entire Lakers Team
Everybody knows about Knicks center Willis Reed's legendary walk onto the court for warmups before Game 7 of the 1970 NBA Finals, a game he wasn't supposed to play. Reed only made two shots in 27 minutes, but as Bob Ryan said in the linked SportsCentury documentary: "The spiritualism of the mome...
Amar'e Stoudemire Bathes In Red Wine, For Some Damn Reason
This morning, Knicks forward Amar'e Stoudemire posted a photo of himself bathing in red wine on his Instagram page. At the time, I honestly did not believe he was actually bathing in red wine, because why would a person do that? I was wrong. Amar'e Stoudemire bathes in wine all the damn time....
Did Everyone Know That Cole Aldrich Has A Gross Fake Tooth?
I did not know about this fake-tooth situation, and I find it a bit unsettling that he can remove it and pop it back in so quickly. It's even worse when you incorporate sound:...
Phil Jackson Says Melo Will Move The Ball. So Did These Guys.
"The ball can't stop," is definitionally just some flatulence squeezing out of a hundred basketball coaches at any given moment.

James Dolan Is A Shitty Boss, Part 4,593
New York Knicks owner and crap-ass wannabe blues musician James Dolan tried to set some kind of world record for the most people playing kazoo in one room. He enlisted New York Knicks Amar'e Stoudemire and Carmelo Anthony, who would have probably rather been anywhere else, to help him lead the crowd...
James Dolan And His Dopey Band Went On TV And Things Got Awkward
James Dolan went on Good Day New York this morning to talk about his corny-ass blues band and play multiple(!) songs in studio.

Reports: Carmelo Anthony To Return To Knicks
On Wednesday, Frank Isola reported that Carmelo Anthony would return to the Knicks, "barring a last-minute change of heart."

Report: Carmelo Is Going Back To The Knicks (Update: Maybe?)
One down, apparently. Frank Isola at the NY Daily News is reporting that "barring a last minute change of heart Anthony will re-sign with the Knicks." The Knicks can offer him a five-year $129 million contract. ...
Melo has officially opted out of his option for 2014-15. The Knicks can still pay him the most—about $129 million over five years to four years $96 million for everyone else—which means at least something since Anthony is 30 now. The Bulls, who have not scored a regulation field goal in two years, a...
