The NBA mock drafts look like they did last spring — overpopulated with teenagers, who dutifully served one season in college. The 10 freshmen — and 18-year-old Frank Ntilikina — selected with last year’s top 11 picks couldn’t wait to enter the league. They couldn’t wait to become millionaires. And Miles Bridges couldn’t wait to…

Freshman Kevin Knox plays the position the Knicks crave — he’s a rangy, 6-foot-9 athletic small forward who can shoot daggers from 3-point range and possesses a 7-foot wingspan. But John Calipari, who coached Knox at Kentucky, warned at the draft combine any team that drafts his former player must be patient because “you’re going…

Enes Kanter wasted no time in imploring LeBron James to join the Knicks this summer.

The Celtics are concerned that Kyrie Irving will bolt in free agency, with the Knicks as a realistic landing spot.

Knicks’ brass will travel to Chicago next week to meet with Missouri freshman forward Michael Porter Jr., a league source told SNY.tv.

What a difference a year makes.

Remembrances abound in the wake of Anthony Bourdain’s shocking suicide last week. But one is a short story about the beloved celebrity and the fame he brought to Hilma’s Windsor Castle, a tiny restaurant on the Dutch side of St. Maarten-St. Martin island in the Caribbean.

Many still Access a poor ride

Rockaway Beach: A once-in-a-while good experience with Access-A-Ride is, in my opinion, just that — once in a while (“Better service for Zelda,” editorial, June 1).

Yes, Mets fans. It can always get worse.

It was an unprecedented…

As the Mets dig themselves deeper and deeper into the depths of mediocrity, the Yankees, it seems, can do no wrong.

Mickey Callaway made some bold lineup moves in search of offense that paid early dividends, but then he made some curious bullpen decisions that may well have contributed to the Mets losing still another ballgame.

Where does it end for this team?

They finally broke out of their offensive funk,…

Well, that didn’t take long.

A Bronx man was wounded in a shooting — just hours after he was released from prison, police sources said Saturday.

Both victims…

When you train three horses only to come up short three times in a bid for the Triple Crown — none as agonizing as Real Quiet’s loss in 1998, when he lost by a nose — you might start to think that the ship has sailed on winning horse racing’s Holy Grail.

But after Justify won Saturday’s Belmont…

STOP IN HER TRACKS, GO ANOTHER WAY

I dreamed I saw a woman walking ahead of me wearing a navy suit and a navy hat that was flat on top. Suddenly she stopped in her tracks, bent over and bowed her head all the way down until her hat touched the ground. The moment the hat touched the ground, a secret…

Of all the history that was made at The Belmont on Saturday evening, it was history repeating itself that provided the most distinct local flavor.

That is, the Giants still always come out on top in any championship-level head-to-head battles with the Patriots.

Justify, partially owned by Chris…

Twenty years ago, jockey Mike Smith nearly had his racing career come to an end after he had a hellish fall at Saratoga. Smith got launched off his horse and landed on the turf before the 1,300-pound mare he was riding, Dacron, fell on top of him, breaking two of Smith’s vertebrae. Smith was in…

The messages from Sandy Alderson and Mickey Callaway have been clear. They’ve been pushing for Yoenis Cespedes to return to the lineup as soon as possible, with Callaway harping on how much of a difference Cespedes would make to the Mets’ struggling offense once he’s back. Alderson even mentioned…

If a couple of months ago someone had told you that Mickey Callaway would say on June 9 he was building his lineup around Brandon Nimmo in the No. 3 spot, you’d have probably thought the Mets were in serious trouble.

And you’d have been right, of course.

To be fair, Nimmo has been something of…

Shaun O’Hara has not been shy about the confidence he has in Eli Manning, and on Saturday the former Giants center took things a step further.

Accused of making the sport uncompetitive, the Warriors won the N.B.A. title by the largest combined point margin of any champion that has swept the finals. But other sweepers have been close.

Kevin Durant was named the finals’ M.V.P. again, after the Warriors won their second straight championship over LeBron James and the Cavaliers.

If James wants to beat the Warriors, he may need to take a page out of Kevin Durant’s playbook and find a team that makes the game seem unfair.
