The NHL and NBA finals are set, the Mets took two from the Phillies, the Yankees are struggling and Patrick Ewing wants to be the next head coach of the Knicks -- quite a bit to talk about.
If Derek Fisher was being true to his word after the Oklahoma City Thunder's season-ending loss Saturday night, he began contemplating the next move in his career Sunday.
Phil Jackson is either in over his head or in complete control as general manager of the Knicks. Which is it? Knowing the man, most likely the latter.
The two met recently and Phil Jackson says he told Carmelo Anthony that "it might be a good idea to hang in here and see what it's like for a year."
The Houston Rockets and Minnesota Timberwolves will play at the Mexico City Arena on Nov. 12. The Milwaukee Bucks will face New York at The O2 on Jan. 15.
Los Angeles has the cap space to sign Anthony, but sources told the newspaper that the organization isn't exactly enthralled with the idea of pairing Anthony with future Hall of Famer Kobe Bryant.
The expansion team will be owned and operated by Madison Square Garden and will play its home games at the Westchester County Center in White Plains.
Chosen 11th overall in the draft, Michael Carter-Williams was the only unanimous selection to the first team, which also includes Victor Oladipo, Trey Burke, Mason Plumlee and Tim Hardaway, Jr.
The reason the Knicks have been one of the least successful franchises in the NBA over the past 13 years is because they have ignored defense. That needs to stop immediately.
NBA Draft operates via a goofy lottery system. There has to be a better alternative than picking ping-pong balls out of a machine. Like maybe a dance off?!
Derek Fisher is Phil Jackson's Plan B, right? Maybe not. Now it looks like Brian Shaw is atop the backup list, even though he's said he's happy in Denver.
Even with Serge Ibaka on the floor, the Thunder would be hard-pressed to beat a well-oiled machine like San Antonio.
"He's a smart guy, smart mind," Durant said. "He's a great motivator, great speaker and can really relate to a lot of guys and demands that respect from everybody. He's a great locker-room guy. I'm sure he'll do a great job."
It's not going to happen, no matter how much Phil Jackson might try. Unless he actually has Zen powers of hypnotism, and even then it's a long shot.
Derek Fisher's basketball resume is a pretty good one, so good in fact that the aforementioned Jackson has reportedly expressed interest in perhaps hiring him to be the Knicks' next head coach.
