Kevin Durant is relishing playing the successful, older brother to the NBA’s dysfunctional, younger one — also known as the Knicks.

LOS ANGELES — Derrick Rose has some secrets. He often plays chess online against random people who have no idea that their king is being attacked by the 2011 NBA MVP. He was a decent tennis and baseball player in high school. He’s spent a good amount of time this summer studying the life of…

No more triangle, no more Sasha Vujacic. The Knicks’ backup guard of two years will now be a guard with Fiat Torino of the Italian league, the team announced Tuesday.

When Steve Mills took over for Phil Jackson, insiders said he would try to reach the fans in a way the former Knicks president couldn’t. And so he is trying.

It’s no coincidence that the two biggest draws on live television are “Game of Thrones” and live sports.

When the Cavaliers talked to the Knicks about Kyrie Irving, Cleveland brass had no interest in discussing Carmelo Anthony. Kristaps Porzingis was their lone focus.

Artis, who is 24 and averaged 18.2 points, 4.9 rebounds…
