  • Reassessing Nico Harrison’s Role in Dallas

    Nico Harrison was arguably the Dallas Mavericks worst nightmare. He went beyond lengths to shatter what would have been a culture shift without Mark Cuban.

    Obviously, take Luka Doncic for example. The Mavericks traded Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers for Anthony Davis and Max Christie. What was worse is Jalen Brunson.

    Many NBA pundits claimed that the Doncic deal was a nightmare. Well fast forward to today, Brunson has one ring with one of the hardest organizations to play under, the New York Knicks.

    What is entailing is that even though, Doncic led the NBA in scoring this year and is still young, Brunson offered to stay in Dallas but Harrison declined.

    Brunson was averaging 20 points and 6 assists without Doncic in the Dallas lineup. Just like he is now, only six points higher with the Knicks.

    Harrison was a detriment to basketball. Reassessing the current situation he traded away two young, phenomenal, talented basketball players who should have never gone anywhere in the first place. Instead, it is time to remeasure the faith led by Brunson’s Knicks.

  • Jalen Brunson Brings Angry Critics to an Uproar Celebration

    When Jalen Brunson was 2, he never thought the Knicks dream was possible by the help of teammates such as OG Anunoby, Karl Anthony Towns, Josh Hart, and Mikael Bridges.

    Rick Brunson helped Jalen up at this age whether feeding or changing diapers. That time would pass and Jalen developed strong relationships that included Bridges and Hart. Whether ordering Wingstop in the middle of a conference or enjoying simple press room bloopers, Hart was there.

    Brunson was there for the heart of it. He would eventually meet his wife in school and graduate a proud Villanova Wildcat. There he not only met Bridges and Hart, Brunson would say hello and goodbye to the rich, silky, smoothiness of them all, Donte DiVicenzo.

    There were many cast players who the New York mayor listed as credibly worth a mention other than DiVicenzo but Brunson.

    He did not need a silver spoon. He was granted the keys to the city which was great but Brunson stood tall at the picture of hand.

    There were 2 million fans flocked to see the Finals MVP to receive a strong look at what Brunson was going to say.

    He said, “There is a lot of negative critics and when you prove them wrong, you don’t have to say s*** to them. They don’t deserve it.”

    Simplicity at its finest. Congratulations to the 2026 New York Knicks!

  • Jalen Brunson Turning Heads

    Nico Harrison was big news to the public when the Dallas Mavericks first let him go of his duties as a general manager. As a former Nike executive, he oversaw one of the biggest trades in the 21st century by trading Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers for Anthony Davis, Max Christie, and a 1st round pick. Doncic had such a big year by leading the league in points and converting 47.6% of his field goals.

    Doncic is truly an international legend, already, but besides him, Nico Harrison, and the newest plug to the Mavericks front office, former ESPN analyst Mike Schmitz. Jalen Brunson is turning heads in this year’s NBA postseason.

    Say what you want about Doncic, Harrison, and Schmitz, but Brunson has taken a commanding 3-0 lead over the Philadelphia 76ers in the postseason and keeps adding to the load of potential the Knicks came off last year between the Indiana Pacers.

    If the Sixers series were to be over today (which is possible), the Knicks would face either the Detroit Pistons or Cleveland Cavaliers. The Pistons have a 2-1 lead.

    But, talk about the load of potential on Brunson. He has converted 86.4% of his free throws and is the 3rd leading PPG postseason scorer. Him and Karl Anthony Towns have been consistent without OG Anunoby in the lineup and seem to be just having fun lighting up the garden, especially the media.

    No better days could mean Mike Brown is not on the hot seat.

  • The Dormant New York Knicks

    The New York Knicks have lied dormant recently in their quest toward a NBA Finals championship. That is what James Dolan recognizes as he left the midst of a Knicks game, Monday night. The Knicks have lost 9 of their last 11.

    Carrying on this tradition, is awful so bad for the Knicks fanbase. They fired Tom Thibodeau last year and are following through with their new head coach, Mike Brown.

    Brown has gotten some flack. Knicks fans are ruthless as it be when one head coach is swapped for another. The name of the game is to win basketball games even when the coach managed Lebron James.

    There is no slight controversy as to what Jalen Brunson has assembled in his time wearing Knicks uniform apparel except criticism of breaking down the defense. He has been the proven All-Star to finish games in overtime, atop, during his prime.

    There have been Karl Anthony-Towns trade rumors following the NBA Cup win over the Detroit Pistons. What could the Knicks possibly want for him rather than ship multiple 1st rounders for Mikael Bridges?

    Giannis Antekounmpo has been in trade talks, also, and has separation anxiety from his brother, Thanasis, according to former NBA players that worked with him. He is a reminder of the Dwight Howard controversy if traded to New York because of the inevitable, increased hype for superstardom, also.

    The Knicks lie dormant because of many reasons besides the fact that the New York fanbase cannot make up their minds. The New York Knicks must travel to each potentialize home game and simply cheer on their team to the very end, and that includes James Dolan.

  • Why Tom Thibodeau Legacy Flashes Back

    Why Tom Thibodeau Legacy Flashes Back

    Tom Thibodeau was once described as one of the most interesting, rising head coaches in the NBA league.

    It did not take long for critics to realize his nature of coaching style with the likes of Derrick Rose, Joakim Noah, and Luol Deng. The Chicago Bulls were a team of the past. They were engined to run fiercely as fast as Thibodeau timed.

    And, the best part of it all is now. Thibodeau’s coaching legacy is timed on the clock in New York City.

    He is no longer a legend in Derrick Rose. Although, after becoming the all-time leading scorer tonight in Knicks postseason history, Jalen Brunson forgettably is on a legendary quest down 3-2 to Indiana to seal fate.

    And, Karl Anthony Towns has been wheeling and dealing with his last game 24 pts, 13 reb, and 3 ast. Speaking of which, some of the TNT crew had a foot fetish of Towns. I would not understand the reasoning for that.

    But, Thibodeau is a man who focuses on the court and retrieves the media’s questions. As a former Boston Celtics assistant, his primary job now is to tailor a cut throat fan base as the Mecca and learn from his mistakes as only Timothee Chamalet, Michael Imperioli, John Mcenroe, Law & Order Detective co-star, Spike Lee, Kylie Jenner, Ben Stiller and many others in Madison Square Garden can only count on it.
