The Brooklyn Nets were unstoppable. Then, Kyrie Irving returned and Kevin Durant got hurt, and now James Harden has been traded. Was it more than a coincidence?
NBA general managers are responsible for constructing championship-caliber teams. So, it's telling when they identify your team as the favorite to win a title.
Kevin Durant is a great basketball player. He is not, however, the greatest at taking a joke, and the legendary David Letterman decided to put that to the test.
Monday night, New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso had just hit his 18th home run of the season. He was rounding 3rd base and as he faced his teammates in the dugout he began to do an imitation of a Pete Towsend guitar windmill. Alonso was indicating to his fellow Amazin's that they were rockin'. Pete Alonso likes to have fun and he's not afraid to show it. Following his second Home Run Derby Championship, the young first baseman is blossoming into a star. But is Pete Alonso one of the Top 5 Sports Stars in the Empire State, I don't think so. Let's take a look.
With the Knicks and Nets officially eliminated from the NBA playoffs, the focus of the New York basketball scene shifts to another target. The 2020 Olympics.
After years and years of the New York Yankees handing out some of the biggest contracts in all of sports and all the massive endorsements you see New York stars getting it odd there isn't more New York talent on Forbes' latest list. Forbes just released "The World's Ten Highest-Paid Athletes" and only ONE member of the New York sports scene has made the list.
Last night, however, NBA superstar Kevin Durant added a different form of hardware to his trophy case, and he joins an elite group of NBA players to do what he did.
This season the New York Knicks clearly "Tanked" in an effort to land the number one overall pick in the draft. There were moments where all Knicks' fans envisioned Duke's Zion Williamson as well as two max contract free agents in blue and orange next season. Now we're grateful to have Duke's RJ Barrett but very unsure who if any free agents will be joining him.
Forgive me paying far more attention to the NBA off season then the NBA Finals that tip off this Thursday but as a New York Knicks' fan the playoff haven't mattered in YEARS. So in hopes that I can experience the NBA playoffs sooner than later I'm totally focused on getting the top Free Agents and potential trade targets. Here are the Vegas odds for the top NBA stars potentially on the move and where they could be headed.
The NBA has announced the All NBA teams today and this shoudldn't come as a shock to anyone, there are no New York Knicks on the First, Second OR Third team. That could change sooner than later. There are key free agents that the Knicks are already rumored to have a serious shot at signing on the All NBA teams.
