JaVale McGee Had A Bad Minute During Last Night's Nuggets-Knicks Game [UPDATE: Now With George Karl Reaction GIF]
On Friday JaVale McGee performed a terrible, wonderful, perfectly awful feat and helped lead the Nuggets to a big win. He was less effective last night against the Knicks, picking up as many fouls as he had rebounds and only scoring four points. That's not to say our love for McGee is tempered; o...

Rasheed Wallace, Captured In One 56-Second Sequence
Perhaps lost in the action of last night's Knicks-Heat game was the sequence you see above. Nothing all that exciting happens in these 56 seconds, but they do offer a glimpse at just how wonderfully out of shape and unable to give a fuck Rasheed Wallace is. Let's break down his play in this nearly...

The Misfit Knicks Stole The Show Last Night
There were two things that were remarkable about last night's New York-Miami game, a 112-92 victory for the antique Knicks. The first, predictably, was LeBron James, who put up 18 points, five rebounds, and seven assists in the first two quarters—a perfectly played half of basketball, and a reminde...

Rasheed Wallace Just Got Ejected After 85 Seconds Of Playing Time [Updated With Video]
And it was for the best reason. His first tech, naturally, was for shoving [UPDATE: More of a whack, really] Luis Scola. Goran Dragic went to the line to shoot his technical free throw. He missed. Sheed yelled, "Ball don't lie!", as he is wont to do. Tossed. He'd been in the game for 1:25. The cro...

Slick Rick's Embarrassing Performance At The Nets Game Last Night Was Worse Than You Think
We told you about Slick Rick getting booed at halftime of the Knicks-Nets game, and about Frank Isola of the New York Daily News getting all kinds of grief on Twitter for wondering whether Slick Rick was indeed a hip-hop legend. Slick's got nothing to prove to anyone anymore, but after hearing thi...

The New York Knicks and the Brooklyn Nets finally got around to playing that game at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn that was canceled in the wake of hurricane Sandy.

Rasheed Wallace Yells "Ball Don't Lie" Because Sheed Likes To Yell Things
The absolute best conceit in basketball is there is some sort of cosmic justice. If a player makes an undeserved trip to the line on a ticky-tack foul, the telltale ball will betray the shooter. This worked to perfection last night, as Rasheed Wallace—the chattiest player in the game—felt he was d...

Somehow The Knicks Managed To Get Even Older
Popped on ESPN.com to check the boxscore of tonight's Knicks-Hornets game. Had to see how the local basketball team was doing. According to the boxscore, the Knicks have on their bench a 54-year-old guard/forward who last played in 1991. That's a veteran player, right there....

The People That Own Nets.com Are Now Redirecting The Page To The Knicks' All-Star Ballot
A while back, we looked into who owns Nets.com, and why that web address doesn't redirect to the NBA website's subpage for the Brooklyn Nets. Type in the name for any other team in the league, and you'll be redirected to NBA.com/TEAM. If you typed in Nets.com a few months ago, you were redirected to...

Jason Kidd Plus A Scalp Wound Plus A Headband Equals A Wes Anderson Character
The Knicks are playing the Pacers this afternoon at Madison Square Garden. As of this writing, the Knicks had a 16-point lead halfway through the third quarter. Sadly, Jason Kidd suffered a head injury and was replaced by what appears to be a scalped Bob Balaban....

The Ballad Of The Other J.R. Smith, Web Designer And Recipient Of Much Of The Praise And Scorn Meant For The Knicks' J.R. Smith
Via Trey Kerby, the above mournful tweet, from J.R. Smith, the web designer (and, as his Twitter bio puts it, "NOT A BASKETBALL PLAYER"). If you're wondering how the other J.R. Smith can tell basketball season has started up, well, social media really has a way of putting people in touch with their ...

"I'm 38 Years Old, Baby": Things Rasheed Wallace Said, Did, And Pointed At During Last Night's Knicks Game
Rasheed Wallace: lover, fighter, hilarious training camp invitee, and talker of the best trash in the NBA. On Tuesday, he yelled "Yeah, Aflac!" at Aaron Afflalo after Afflalo bricked a free throw; last night, he yelled everything at everybody after they did anything. Here is your courtside Sheed exp...

Tony Parker Crossover Leaves Raymond Felton Confused
In fairness to Felton, it looks like he was anticipating the screen from Tim Duncan, and that he was trying to avoid it. Felton eventually figured out where Parker was going about an hour later, but the Knicks still won. They're now 6-and-fucking-0....

Here's Rasheed Wallace Yelling "Yeah, AFLAC!" After A Missed Free Throw
After being out of the league for two years, you can't blame Rasheed Wallace if he's trying to force someone's hand on snapping up an endorsement contract. His surprising resurrection has been an unexpected bright spot this season for the (as of now) 4-0 Knickerbockers. Frankly, of all the things ...
