For 53 years, the Knicks showed how painful sports can be. And then they showed how beautiful the payoff is. This one is worth reading. My column on the Knicks' championship: sportingnews.com/us/nba/new-yor…

@krispursiainen @JBBHoops1 I’ll second that assertion: you’ve been killing it. Well deserved.

One of my least favorite playoff traditions is projecting grand unified theories of basketball from the finals, as if star players can be easily replicated, when very few finals teams play anything alike

An anonymous Western Conference scout says Jalen Brunson has brought back the prototype of a small guard who can lead a team “Brunson has kind of brought back the smaller, scoring, tough physical point guard that can lead a team. And Acuff has some of those traits. He might even

The level of disrespect on this app always surprises me. The way some of y’all talk would get you punched in the face in person, but because it’s the internet it’s somehow acceptable. Embarrassing behavior.

I love listening to the Big Red Bus podcast, not just for the basketball content, which is also good, but because @cbefred and @Doug_Thonus spend the entire time arguing with each other like an old married couple and it’s hilarious.

Heartbreaking and so unexpected. He was the soul of the broadcast and an incredibly nice guy. Praying for his family. Rest in peace.

Watching KAT succeed in the right role after a decade of being called a soft loser should be an indictment of that type of analysis. Fit and opportunity matter. Now if we could find this for Zach LaVine we could kill the two biggest false “losing player” recipients in the league.

I’d like to be on record that this idea is bad, is based on a fake problem, and will make the real problems worse.

Breaking: The NBA's Board of Governors has passed new anti-tanking rules that include expanding the draft lottery from 14 to 16 teams, a relegation zone where the bottom 3 teams get penalized with lessened chances for the No. 1 pick, and flattened odds, sources tell ESPN.

@Doug_Thonus The draft also sucks the next couple years compared to the last two, but I’m sure the league will attribute less teams tanking to their new lottery rules instead.

@TripleJay28 I think Quinn has a good shot out of Miami, but there’s no way to really know with any of them until they get a chance.

I know it’s easy to make certain Bulls players the butt of every joke, but I think it does a disservice to the player, the person making the joke, and the audience. Seen it happen with a few different Bulls players over the years (Snell, WCJ, Denzel, Pat) but it’s always wrong.

@mustang6944 I’m not saying that teams didn’t egregiously tank, I’m saying that it’s not the “real” problem. And these reforms don’t accomplish anything positive for the league while creating a host of problems.

@mustang6944 It’s fake because people act like all these teams have gone rogue by tanking for talent, when in reality the league has systematically forced teams into doing this by flattening lottery odds and removing free agency for star players. Tanking is the symptom, not the cause.

It used to be the bottom 5 teams that tanked. People complained about Philly, so the odds were flattened, resulting in the bottom 10 teams tanking. Now the “solution” is to incentivize teams 7~16 to tank, but hey, the bottom five teams will try harder? Yay?

@VeryVegeta @theXExpert The league rules prevent them from spending more. It has nothing to do with ownership. The only situation where an owner matters in spending is going into the tax to retain your own players, but that’s not really relevant to this discussion.

@VeryVegeta @theXExpert The league has instituted apron rules, max contracts, and contract extensions to stop this from happening. Bad teams can’t simply spend more to get top players, so they can only overpay non-star players. And now their picks are worth less so trading for them is even harder.
