New York Knicks guard Jeremy Lin has become something of a revolutionary. In just three short weeks, Lin has changed the infrastructure of the NBA.

2011 NBA Mock Draft: Making a Mockery of All Mock Drafts (HUMOR) 2011 NBA Mock Draft, Carmelo Anthony, Humor, NBA, NBA Atlantic, New York Knicks | Comments Off
After the ping-pong balls settle, countless mock drafts will be made. Instead of making a cookie-cutter mock draft like everyone else, I will present a humorous mock draft.Some mocks will be made by so-called experts who have a stunningly accurate rate of 5.4 percent. Oh wait, that's the free-throw shooting percentage of a blindfolded Ben Wallace shooting backwards. Never mind—that's his actual shooting percentage from the line.It is no secret this year's draft class is very thin—so thin, in fact, that Dick Vitale wonders whether Kyrie Irving can be the first ever player taken first and second overall. Some other ...

With Amar’e Stoudemire, the Knicks Don’t Need LeBron James (Satire) Amare Stoudemire, Carmelo Anthony, Humor, LeBron James, NBA, New York Knicks | Comments Off
SATIRE: Amare Stoudemire recently gave Knicks' fans the vote of confidence despite the Knicks striking out in free agency this summer. "Man, who cares if we don't got LeBron or Wade. You got me, Amar'e Stoudemire. I mean, we lost David Lee and all, but hey, we won't be any worse, right?" The Knicks are now hoping to luck out and get Carmelo Anthony next offseason and maybe Chris Paul. "Everybody is saying we need somebody else to contend, but man...nobody can stop me! I'm a monster." Stoudamire said. What Stoudemire needs to realize is that he's a carbon copy ...

Could THIS Man be The Key to the Knicks Making the Playoffs? Danilo Gallinari, Eddy Curry, Humor, Mike D'antoni, NBA, NBA History, New York Knicks | Comments Off
The Knicks are in position as is, to battle for one of the last three Eastern Conference playoff spots going into the 2011-12 season. There is a gaping hole for a backup big who can score, grab some rebounds and black a shot or two. Can Eddy Curry, like a slightly inflated Clark Kent, turn into a rotund Superman for eight to 10 minutes a night and send Metropolis (er, New York) into the playoffs? Let's examine the case...Begin Slideshow

To The New York Faithful: A Letter To All Knicks Fans Humor, NBA, NBA History, New York Knicks | Comments Off
Dear New York Knicks fans, Rejoice! Hard times have finally gone. We have a brand new team, and things are looking good. Be excited, a new day dawns over Madison Square Garden. It is important to fully understand the position our New York Knicks have put themselves in. This is a team that has not had a winning season since 01/'02, and has not seen the postseason since '03/'04. The last ten year have been nothing short of a harsh, cruel joke. To Scott Layden and Isiah Thomas, on behalf of all New Yorkers, we hate you. We have had to endure losing season ...

Knicks Already Dumping Cap Space for Shot At LeBron Again in Six Years Amare Stoudemire, Free Agency, Humor, LeBron James, NBA, New York Knicks | Comments Off
The New York Knicks have decided it's not too early to start preparing once again to make a run at LeBron James. Team president Donnie Walsh announced immediately after "The Decision" was made that they had cut new signee Amar'e Stoudamire in an effort to make cap space available for LeBron James in 2016. The team has long been speculated to have dumped salary and good players over the last five years to be able to land LeBron this summer, but he seemed largely uninterested in their advances. Now they are getting ready to do it all over again. "We will not ...

New York Knicks Declare Commitment to Underwhelming Seasons Humor, NBA, New York, New York Knicks | Comments Off
New York, NY (WI-OH SportsNet) — Confirming prior suspicions and months of poorly-kept secrets and rumors, the New York Knicks recently announced their intentions to blow the NBA's 2010 offseason "bonanza" of free agency in any way possible. "Don't worry about it," Knicks team president of basketball operations Donnie Walsh told a group of reporters at an eagerly-anticipated "Disbelieve In 2010-11" media event this morning. "Whatever you weren't expecting us to achieve, we've got you covered." Recalling the team's recent history, marked by constant underachieving and implosions in team chemistry despite the varying presences of large names, Walsh promised similar behavior heading into the ...

Knicks Announce Plan B in LeBron Sweepstakes (Satire) Humor, NBA, NBA History, New York Knicks | Comments Off
The Knicks are in a similar situation with most other teams. A free agent exits their meeting and then they tell the media how persuaded they are. Deep inside, the free agents may not be that exited about a team. That is why the Knicks have unraveled their No. 2 plan to make hit big in the NBA Free-Agent market. This is all on LeBron James. If he signs, the Knicks may not need to got to this plan. The way I see it, many people believe that their Plan B is stronger than their Plan A with LeBron. Begin ...

New York Knicks president Donnie Walsh waited patiently at the house as his wife came back from the first day of the open free agent market. When she arrived with the groceries, he followed her into the kitchen to see what she brought home. Donnie - "Hi honey, what did you pick up today at the market?" Wife - "Well, I got you some of your favorites here, I got you a Chris Bosh and a Joe Johnson!" Donnie - "A Joe Johnson! Honey you shouldn't have!"

LeBron James Chooses His Team (Satire) Free Agency, Humor, Lebron, LeBron James, NBA, New York Knicks | Comments Off
LeBron James has hit the free-agent market. He may not have signed with a team just yet, but he knows what he prefers. For a while, the world has been split on LeBron's possible choice of where to go. It basically comes down to two teams. Team Edward or Team Jacob? The Cavaliers star has decided not to make a decision on which he will side with officially, but reports from Stephen A. Smith and Magic Johnson have noted that James has chosen Team Edward. This is contrary to the first reports that LeBron James would decide to be a part of team ...

Nets Agree To Trade Jay-Z To The Knicks (Satire) Humor, LeBron James, NBA, New York Knicks | Comments Off
In what's being called "the sign-and-trade heard 'round the world" the New York Knicks have reached an agreement to send Nets' part-owner Jay-Z to The Big Apple. ESPN's John Buchigross (No I don't care that it's spelt wrong) was first on the scene this afternoon reporting this shocking news story. In the trade Knicks' GM Donnie Walsh agreed to send himself, Wilson Chandler, Danilo Gallinari, and newly signed and traded players David Lee, Reggie Miller, Michael Jordan, Joey Chestnut, Kevin Boss, and Trent Dilfer to New Jersey in return for Nets' part-owner Jay-Z and five Nathan's hot dogs. When asked if he thought ...

2010 NBA Draft: Knicks Fans Dissapointed LeBron Not Selected (Satire) Humor, NBA, NBA History, New York Knicks | Comments Off
The fanatics of the New York Knicks got loud when their team was announced on the clock in the second round of the NBA Draft. Unfortunately, nobody told them that they were a few years late and looking at the wrong draft board. The crowd started to chant, "We Want LeBron!" They were hoping to draft a messiah and lead them to the NBA Finals. LeBron James is that man, but sadly he was not available. The Knicks took Andy Rautins from Syracuse and Landry Fields from Stanford. They were shot in the heart by not hearing the name LeBron James. Many fans ...

The Worst NBA Free Agent Rumors: LeBron James and Dwyane Wade A Bad Pair? Amare Stoudemire, chris bosh, Dwyane Wade, Free Agency, Humor, Joe Johnson, LeBron James, NBA, New York Knicks, Opinion, Preview/Prediction | Comments Off
With the NBA’s free agency period set to begin on July 1, fans are becoming giddy over what could be the most monumental offseason in recent memory. I haven’t seen this many people ignore the NBA Finals (http://bit.ly/bYLPxk) since the Cavs and Spurs played in 2007. To be fair, that series was as fun as waterboarding, so people had an excuse. But with this kind of free agent crop, people should be excited. There are normally only a few big names available each summer, but this year’s plethora of players could give the league an entirely different face come this fall. Hopefully ...

NBA Free Agency: Imagine the Possibilities Amare Stoudemire, Basketball, chris bosh, Dwyane Wade, Humor, LeBron James, NBA, New York Knicks, Steve Nash | Comments Off
With 2010 NBA free agency looming, it's time to let the speculation begin. Let's just say that the league's top free agents were willing to take a pay cut in order to all play together. Imagine how good they could be? Here is how it would go: It would start with the Knicks signing LeBron James, and then Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh would follow. After losing in the playoffs, Amare Stoudemire and Steve Nash decide to join their former coach in New York. Nash would be able to control the flow of the game, so that all those super stars aren't fighting over ...

The New York Week That Was (Slam Dunks, Olympics, McGrady and Cousin Mose) Basketball, Humor, New York, New York Knicks, New York Rangers | Comments Off
The first-ever slam dunk competition was held this week during halftime of the ABA All-Star game at McNichols Arena in Denver. Julius Erving of the New York Nets wowed everybody with his running dunk from the foul line. Dr. J bested Denver’s David Thompson , Artis Gilmore of the Kentucky Colonels, and San Antonio’s George Gervin and Larry Kenon . As for the game itself (after some pregame entertainment by top-of-the-chart recording artists Glen Campbell and Charlie Rich ), the league eschewed its former format of East vs. West, instead having the first place team at the break taking on a ...

Seven Seconds Or Less: Mike “No D” Antoni’s Recipe For Disaster. Basketball, Humor, Mike D'antoni, NBA, NBA Atlantic, New York, New York Knicks | Comments Off
After years and years of embarrassment, turmoil, scandal, and chaos, Donnie Walsh has done a great job cleaning Isiah Thomas' mess. We knew that he would have to make drastic moves, many that I would disagree with, but ultimately had to be done. It broke my heart when he traded Jamal Crawford, but he shed salary, which he needed to do for the future. The loss of Zach Randolph hurt as well, but again, more money off the cap along with ridding themselves of a locker room destroyer. So many of the Knicks failures were because they refused to rebuild from the ...
