The Knicks were in a downward spiral before the hiring of Leon Rose in February of 2020. Now, a year and a half later, Rose has the team turned in a completely different direction, turning New York into a legitimate on-the-rise team with an upper-echelon culture.

A free agent surprise that almost nobody saw coming, Kemba Walker represents perhaps the best point guard the Knicks have rostered since Walt “Clyde” Frazier. But he doesn’t come without concerns, namely, the injuries that forced Boston to pay to ship him off. Do the shortcomings even matter at his current price point, though?

Finding playing time might be hard this season for the first player the Knicks selected in the 2021 NBA Draft: Quentin Grimes. That said, could Grimes’ penchant for tough D and shooting cause him to stop “situational” from being a swear word among Knicks fans?

Previously a journeyman, Alec Burks perhaps found his home for the future last season when he signed a one-year deal with the Knicks, later re-upping on a two-year pact this summer. Could Burks come close to replicating his nearly historic pull-up shooting numbers from last season?

The new era of Knicks basketball is finally underway, with Kemba Walker and Evan Fournier taking the floor for the first time together as Knicks. Did they live up to the hype? Short answer: yes. Long answer: well, here’s the recap to tell you all about it.

The Knicks take on the Pacers in the first action of the 2021-22 season. Kemba suits up! So does Fournier! Mitch and Noel are hurt, womp womp. But excitement abounds!

Derrick Rose was the midseason ​​mercenary of the 2020-21 Knicks, proving to be their X-factor down the stretch of the regular season. With major investment into the point guard position this summer, how will his role change this season?

The most painful loss of the 2020-21 season seems to have laid the blueprint for the Knicks going forward. Could the Knicks be taking on the Hawks’ strategy for team building… but better?

While the Kemba Walker signing was a coup for the Knicks at his reduced price tag, the signing still comes with risks — namely, Kemba’s increasingly faulty knees. What can Tom Thibodeau do to keep the Knicks’ former All-Star healthy this year?

The first major domino to fall in the Knicks’ offseason plans, Evan Fournier should offer a level of scoring versatility that New York sorely needed last year. What do the film and stats say about the Knicks’ new shooting guard’s potential impact on the team?

Kemba Walker playing for the Knicks this year is about much more than just a near-perfect fit on the basketball court — it represents one of the most true New York-style point guards ever getting to come home and play on New York’s biggest stage again.

Kemba Walker is a New York Knick. The four-time All-Star is presumably a fit on any team, but just how perfect is he for this Knicks team?

The Knicks ended their five-game losing streak with a bang, crushing the Boston Celtics on the road in a 30-point romp. Shwinnypooh gets you caught up on the latest Immanuel Quickley tour de force, RJ and Randle’s big day, and the best game of Obi Toppin’s career, among other things.

The Knicks are still on the road, this time in Boston, to face a depleted Celtics team. Can they snap their five game losing streak?
