The Philadelphia District Attorney Trolled Andrew Bynum's Bum Knees
Today Philadelphia's district attorney got on the Twitter to muse about opening an investigation into Andrew Bynum's lack of contributions to the local basketball club. This fellow Seth Williams did so because Bynum, a very talented and thus very expensive professional basketball player, has earned ...
Steph Curry Found His Swagger
This is what Steph Curry was put on Earth to do: shoot. We've seen him do magic on the floor this year, from this frankly unfair bounce pass to a pair of filthy crossovers just two nights ago. But he's a pure shooter, and for 48 minutes at MSG—you don't take out a hand that hot—he shot. Pure. ...
Stephen Curry Was Out Of His Mind Tonight
Curry had 38 points and two filthy crossovers last night and he went and topped himself tonight. In 48 minutes on a quick turnaround, Curry finished with 54 points and shot 11-13 from behind the arc. The Knicks won 109-105, but it felt like they were fighting a losing battle of catch-up with him....
Mike Woodson's Shirt Is The Best Shirt
This amazing picture comes to us courtesy of the Wall Street Journal's Chris Herring. That's Knicks head coach Mike Woodson wearing a shirt that bears his own stoic visage above the word "Coach." It's so simple yet so hilarious, and it's the best wardrobe decision that any NBA coach has ever made....
Carmelo Anthony Slaps Spencer Hawes, In That Special Carmelo Anthony Way
Last night as most of us were watching Renee Zellweger maybe overdosing onstage at the Oscars, the New York Knicks defeated the Philadelphia 76ers in a semi-important game, since it put an end to New York's four-game skid. The most notable thing that happened, though, was midway through the third q...

Ladies, J.R. Smith's Twitter Come-On Will Have You Sopping Wet [UPDATE: J.R. Responds]
Last month, as the Knicks were in Philadelphia to play the Sixers, J.R. Smith was up to his old tricks. J.R.'s got something of a history with Twitter, and women, (and asses), so it's not like the young lady who chatted him up via direct message couldn't have known what she was getting into. Still, ...

You are not the only one somewhat inconvenienced by the white stuff on the ground outside: The Knicks spent last night stuck in Minneapolis, the Spurs couldn't escape from Detroit until an hour ago, and the Nets had to take a train:...
John Wall Blocks Carmelo, Jukes Out Jason Kidd, Reminds Us That He's Still Very Good At Basketball
Remember when you saw a John Wall highlight reel for the first time? My first experience with him came courtesy of this mixtape from his high school days, in which Wall fast-twitches all over various high school gyms and generally looks like a space alien come to destroy our previous notions of wh...
J.R. Smith Airballs A Free Throw, Crashes A Children's Basketball Game
Knicks guard J.R. Smith is a career 74 percent free-throw shooter, and his nickname is "J.R. Swish." So, he's not the player you would expect to airball a free throw, and yet that's exactly what Smith did during the second quarter last night's Pistons-Knicks game. Everyone found the moment to be r...

James Dolan Spent Friday Night Spying On Carmelo Anthony
According to the Star-Ledger, New York Knicks owner and talentless, flubby musician James Dolan has no qualms about creepily spying on his players during games. During Friday night's Bulls-Knicks game, Dolan ordered two MSG Network employees to keep tabs on Knicks star Carmelo Anthony....

J.R. Smith Has Become Self-Aware
It's not clear who actually took this photo, but J.R. Smith just posted it to his Instagram account along with the hashtag, #ThatWhatTheHellYouDoingLook. He is of course referring to the look of consternation that head coach Mike Woodson is throwing Smith's way during a team huddle....
Carmelo Anthony And Kevin Garnett Got Into Some Kind Of Scrum In The Belly Of Madison Square Garden
The Boston Celtics beat the Knicks in Madison Square Garden Monday night 102-96 and it sounds like Carmelo was pissed. The hostility began when Garnett and Anthony got into it a little bit in the fourth quarter during a dead-ball period that resulted in double technicals for the two. At the end of t...
A Group Of Bros Infiltrated The Knicks Locker Room, Asked Gregg Popovich About J.R. Smith, And Got Kicked Out After Snapping A Picture Of Half-Naked Carmelo
On Thursday night, Peter and his friends had courtside tickets to Knicks-Spurs, a gift from a family friend that meant an up-close view of the game in which Stephen Jackson injured himself tripping over Mike Bloomberg's waitress and J.R. Smith did this. After it ended, they did what anyone would do ...
J.R. Smith's Reverse Alley-Oop Shouldn't Be Humanly Possible
The game was out of hand at this point—San Antonio, playing their fourth in five nights, had benched most of the starters, and the Knicks had followed suit. That doesn't take a thing away from the athleticism required to put home this reverse alley-oop, fired by Pablo Prigioni from about 15 feet a...
A Stone-Cold J.R. Smith Sank A Ridiculous Buzzer-Beater To Down The Suns
J.R. Smith hit two jumpers in the last 11 seconds of tonight's Knicks-Suns game to tie the Phoenix Suns and, with one second remaining, take a 99-97 lead for the Knicks in one of this NBA season's most clutch performances....
The Bulls-Knicks Game Went To Complete Shit Last Night, And Produced This Beautiful GIF Of A Dismayed Spike Lee
When you're not particularly used to losing, any downturn in your fortunes seems like it must be the result of some malevolent scheme from outsiders that bear you ill will. Such was the case for the Knicks last night when they fell down big in an ugly game against the Bulls and decided they didn't ...
The Knicks Tried To Trade Amar'e Stoudemire For Basically Anyone
Yesterday, Howard Beck of The New York Times wrote about the impending return of Amar'e Stoudemire to the New York Knicks. Most of the story is about the problems that Beck foresees coming along with Stoudemire's return, but buried within it is this bit of information:...
