Knicks Meet-Up Trivia

Mike Kurylo — Thu, 28 Oct 2010 10:32:00 +0000

At the first ever KnickerBlogger Meet-Up, I had some posters to give away. Looking for a fair way to distribute them, I came up with the idea of a trivia quiz. Unfortunately my questions were a bit harder than I thought, especially without the help of the internet. So I ended up giving the winner [...]

Kevin McElroy — Thu, 28 Oct 2010 04:54:56 +0000

Unsung Knick History – When the Knicks Pulled the WRONG Name in a Lottery

Brian Cronin — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 00:11:27 +0000

This is the fifth in a series (of indefinite length and regularity) of examinations into different games, events and decisions that impacted Knicks history in some way, shape or form. Stories that are not as famous as, say, LJ's 4-point play or Willis Reed playing Game 7, but still have a place in Knicks history, especially for die-hard fans.

We are all familiar with one of the greatest days in New York Knicks history, when the Commissioner of the NBA, David Stern, pulled out an envelope that had the New York Knicks' name in it that signified that the Knicks had won the #1 pick in the 1985 NBA Draft (a pick that everyone knew would be Patrick Ewing).

But do you know about a different lottery, of sorts, that took place over thirty years before the Ewing lottery? A lottery that the Knicks had a 2 in 3 chance of getting a Hall of Famer? A lottery that the Knicks managed to pick out the sole non-Hall of Famer in the bunch and yet came away from the day thrilled with their pick? Well, if not, let me tell you about the 1950 Chicago Stags Dispersal Draft Lottery and how Bob Cousy was nearly a New York Knick.

Unsung Knick History – Four and a Half Davids Beat a Goliath (Named David)

This is the fourth in a series (of indefinite length and regularity) of examinations into different games, events and decisions that impacted Knicks history in some way, shape or form. Stories that are not as famous as, say, LJ's 4-point play or Willis Reed playing Game 7, but still have a place in Knicks history, especially for die-hard fans.

Today we look at an amazing 1995 game between the New York Knicks and the San Antonio Spurs (a season after David Robinson was voted the NBA's Most Valuable Player) where the Knicks defeated the Spurs in double overtime with a line-up of Herb Williams and four guards!

[Part 1 is here.] [Part 2 is here.] David Lee – Power Forward/Center What the Stats Say Amid all the hubbub about David Lee “playing out of position at center” and the Knicks “needing to find a true big man so that Lee can move back to his natural position,” one simple fact has largely [...]

Knicks 2009 Season Preview Part III

Mike Kurylo — Sun, 26 Oct 2008 13:00:17 +0000

Part I here. Part II here. SMALL FORWARD: If guard is the Knicks' most plentiful position, then small forward is their least. Let's take a look at these two players:

Richardson Should Sit

Mike Kurylo — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 13:10:26 +0000

During the Knicks offseason, there has been a lot of conjecture on who will be in the starting lineup. Marbury’s continued presence makes him a threat to Chris Duhon at the shooting guard spot. Should Duhon have an awful preseason it’s possible that he could lose his job to Marbury or even Robinson. There have [...]

Knicks Acquire Junior

David Crockett — Sat, 30 Aug 2008 17:44:19 +0000

According to multiple sources the Knicks have acquired Patrick Ewing, Jr. from the Houston Rockets in exchange for the rights to (the infamous) Frederic Weis. Can Ron Artest be far behind? (Tee hee…) Ewing, Jr. appears to be slated for the role played by the recently dealt Renaldo Balkman of defensive-oriented forward who can guard [...]

Draft Measurements Are Available

caleb Said: Draft news — NBA has released official measurements and athletic testing results from the Orlando combine. http://insider.espn.go.com/nba/draft2008/insider/columns/story?columnist=ford_chad&page=CombineResults-080603 On first glance I didn’t see any huge surprises. Except, Patrick Ewing, Jr. registered the highest vertical jump of anyone in the camp. (like DJ Strawberry last year). Of the top guards, Mayo, Gordon and Bayless [...]
