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.
On Thursday night the Rangers made us party like it's 1994. And if you were alive and lucid in New York City back then, you recall the magic murmuring up the streets, from Herald Square to Harlem.
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.
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.
Knicks President Phil Jackson, who whiffed in his pursuit of Steve Kerr, is "open" to talking to Mark Jackson about the organization's head-coaching vacancy, according to a report.
If Phil Jackson interviewed him, perhaps Mark Jackson would promise to make changes. If he did, maybe it could work. But for the Knicks, that's a bet they cannot afford to make.
This could get interesting. The Knicks have long been linked to Love, and Phil Jackson is already "plotting" how to get him to Madison Square Garden, the Post reported.
"Well, I told him it never ends well there," Albert told Bob Raissman of the New York Daily News. "Just look at recent history. It's because of one man (Dolan). There is no happiness there."
Raymond Felton once said he was "better than any point guard." Well, he wasn't all that great in 2013-14, and apparently Knicks president Phil Jackson isn't interested in seeing if he'll bounce back.
What, you thought this was going to be easy? C'mon, it's the Knicks!
The Dynamic Radio Duo that is Boomer and Carton had plenty to discuss this Friday morning -- and they waited until the microphones were hot to do so.
Derek Fisher is still playing basketball. But if the Knicks have their way he'll be coaching them very soon.
On Wednesday, Kerr agreed to become the head coach of the Golden State Warriors. The news didn't sit well with WFAN co-host Joe Benigno.
This strikes a blow to everyone in the organization, from Jackson to Jim Dolan to Carmelo Anthony, who must be appalled by the notion that the most visible non-player in the NBA can't even get his own acolyte to coach for him.
