Bailey and Harper weren’t bought with their NIL… they had a very large corporate donor pay for the 2 of them, the rest of the roster was up to Pike from what I gather
Maybe the kid wants to go to a real school and play on a real team. Can’t blame him for that. If you have better options you don’t go to Rutgers.
So sick of this guy. Move on already. No place for him in the NBA so he has to come back, I guess.
I guess he wants more than the $150,000 or so Rick gave him last year. Will he be eligible?
Imagine where they would be if their All Star Randle wasn't out for the season.
Knicks were 12-2 with Randle after the OG Anunoby acquisition....
I remember seeing Walt, Earl, Willis, Jerry, Dave, Dean etc. in person. Walt is one of my favorite players.
Without a doubt one of the very best players in the NBA.
Early in the year I was listening to talking heads saying the Knick will not be a serious playoff contender because in every game they play they won't have the best or second best player on the court.
You don't hear them saying that now and if Randle was healthy they might have 2 of the 3 best players on the court.
I dont see either of these teams as going any further. Had no vested interest and didnt like how the basketball looked. (Where have you gone Red Holtzman, but that is all basketball today it seems?) I guess Embid doesnt care much about rebounding? The hartstein O board time after time was ridiculous. Embid sure has talent, but not my cup of tea. That Hart three was something a great team needs - double my star, you're gonna pay.
The Knicks with Randle could make noise I bet. Awful luck. Blowing 22 point early lead, going down by 10 away and winning, that is moxey. Loved an early comment, that the Nova guys were outscoring the 76ers. Never been a fan of Brean but listened to them as I like Clyde. Both were very un-homer, gave the 76ers credit. Nice job.
So to Prof Ed and HallDan and all the other Knicks fans, congratulations!!!!!

I'd imagine they'd be getting ready for a second-round playoff series with Indiana.
They did finish 14 games behind Boston in the East.
The Knicks would have had a much better record with Randle. One of the best forwards in the eastern conference. With him they would have had a chance to beat the Celtics. Without him the best I can see is a 6 game series.
And remember, OG also missed a ton of games down the stretch as well as Robinson, Yet the Knicks finished with the 2nd best record in the conference.

May 8th marks the 54 th anniversary of the first Knicks NBA title and I was there. I've lost some interest in the NBA but the current Knicks are fun to watch.
Nope. I was starting my freshman year at Seton Hall later that fall.
Just having a little fun Dan -- although it's true they are in the same place right now they would be with Randle, just with a few less wins.
The Knicks were 29-17 in games Randle played and 21-15 when he didn't play. Without looking it's probably reasonable they win four or five more games if Randle is healthy.

Before my time, but so many Knick fans share your views. They did a 30 for 30 on those teams a while back.
I love this Knicks team. Hard to not root for. Flawed and incomplete, but they play their a$$ off. And have all season. They do remind me of the 90s teams. Constructed differently and a different era where offense is more the norm, but they compete like it’s their last game every game.
Kind of crazy 3 Nova guys at the core of the Knicks current success. Brunson is a special player. Hart and DiVencenzo or tremendous supporting cast members who can do a little of everything.
They have been on a tear rebounding the ball on the offensive glass.
The Garden., the entire metropolitan area was electric in May 1970. Championship game is still considered the greatest event ever at MSG.
So true Prof Ed -- but my vote goes to Ali v Frazier --tho it is real close Garden event call
Just want to add most of those games were without OG. If those three were on the court together I would love my chances against Boston.
That was the Willis Reed game and after he hit his first two shots he added very little because of the injury. But Walt Frazier played what was probably the greatest final 7th game in NBA history. Reed won the final's MVP but that was pure robbery.
Reed was injured in game 5, didn't play in game 6 and did very little next to an emotional team lift in game 7.
This was before the NBA became known for offensive pinball stats. 36 points (no 3 pointers from the arc back then) 12-for-17 FG, 12-for-12 FT, 7 rebounds, 19 assists, and 5 steals. All against Chamberlin, West and Baylor.
Just another reason not to eat those crappy sandwiches!🤢 Support your local deli!
