A site I've been working on for the longest... One day... Historical boxing segments, analysis, and more. The sweet science... The lost art...

Yes 100000 times. It’s a game. In a world on the precipice of a world war, any opportunity at brotherly comradely even in the face of competition can’t be taken for granted. 👍

Lu Dort always targets star players, and then you can’t touch Shai……. 🤯🤯

@MrChuckD @KnicksFanTv Yes, Knicks are my last fix. Once they win a ring, I'm going to retire from sports like John Elway.

I’m down to 1 sport passionately and only 1 team in my sport following life. Go Knicks all this Eagles Giants Jets Phillies Mets Flyers Rangers Islanders poured in doesn’t matter to me. This is exciting. @KnicksFanTv

Josh Hart was asked what stood out about the Knicks' regular-season matchups with the 76ers: "I don't remember the regular season matchups. The regular season matchups are so idiotic to talk about in the postseason because there's so many variables that go into regular season stuff, in terms of your game schedule, back-to-backs, who's in, who's out. Those games are really just flushed. We got a good opponent. We got to make sure we are focused and locked-in."

The way KAT has transcended how the Knicks are viewed offensively isn't discussed enough. Everything is based on him, the opposing team must game-plan around him in the right manner or they face serious consequences

@TheKnicksRecap My condolences. I wish you his family and friends the best.

Writing this with a heavy heart. My best friend who I've known for over 16 years just passed way, losing his battle to cancer. I was with him the last two days and was finally able to bring my son with me. He used to babysit Lucas for me. One of the only people who supported my son's birth at the time because I was a young father. We had a moment yesterday where he smiled at my son and me during our visit. I knew he heard every word I said. I'm absolutely devastated by news. Life comes at you when you least expect it. Tomorrow's never guaranteed. We all inherently know this. But that doesn't mean you're ever ready for it when that call comes. Keep those who you love close. Tell them how much you care about them. Let them know it everyday. We're not here forever, only for a short time. RIP Alfred. I'm glad you're no longer suffering. I miss you. I love you. Keep watching over me as I navigate this life without you.

@GeoffRasmussen_ the nerds that know about the free throw line parking goes way back but Rodman made it a thing. He studied individual players shots and their arc. And 3s tend to bounce around the free throw line depending on the angle. Not directly in front but distance.

The evidence is ALL OVER and it’s been like this for DECADES!! How do you not see some players are called differently than others? One can be objective and rational and say this. I think you’re dismissing this point to make another point stronger, which leads to serious fallacy

OKC grabs and ORLANDO or PISTONS play rough defense which expands their wiggle room with the refs- you mentioned this yourself many shows ago. It’s the style they play that can impact a ref or their status. It makes people shout about the unfairness.

Yet on other side the other team can’t play that way. It’s almost like you’re saying this is some conspiracy theory. Which is beyond ludicrous because as you said which I agree it’s part of the game, some players are getting away with more. Some teams do too.

Even players have said it to each other, “you haven’t earned that treatment by the refs.” And yet, KAT gets banged around and no calls are made many times. There is a plethora of videos where Harden is able to swing his arms or LeBron just flops his head back and call is made.

All you need to do and there IS tons of material out there, SHOWING SGA barely getting touched, and calls being made on opponent. This isn’t new. This goes back to MJ where you can’t touch him. Even color analysts say that person gets the star treatment from refs.

I just found something that I totally disagreeing with @xavierjdesigns on. I totally agree with @GeoffRasmussen_ here. The foul calling IS distorted! Just because there isn’t statistical analysis on this doesn’t mean it’s not a thing.

@thelargestG @NBA_NewYork By that logic, every large city would outnumber smaller cities in every fandom, which obviously isn’t how demographics work.

@thelargestG @NBA_NewYork You’re confusing total population with proportional representation. A bigger city doesn’t automatically mean more fans of your team, it depends on migration patterns, fan loyalty, regional identity, and actual market share. Population ≠ fanbase.

"I have a message for our fans: Last time we played the Knicks this felt like MSG East Don't sell your tickets This is bigger than you Knicks fans travel There's gonna be people that need the money Don't do it We need you guys If you need money I got you" – Joel Embiid

@thelargestG @NBA_NewYork Yes and I know more than enough New Yorkers that MOVED to PA. You’re talking shit now. Move it on…

@SlamDunkSlugger @NBA_NewYork Alr then ur from NY, stick to what you know 😭🤣

@thelargestG @NBA_NewYork You’re from Philly. Stick with what you know… You’re confusing “diverse” with “not from here.” NYC has generations of native New Yorkers AND immigrant history, that’s the foundation of the city. Being a global city doesn’t erase that. It IS that.

@SlamDunkSlugger @NBA_NewYork This is so wrong. Im from Philly and most of the city is die hard philly everything. Sure you have some Knicks fans here and there. Half of fucking NYC is transplants and foreigners, thats 4million, If anything you got more philly fans in NY than knicks fans in PA

@jmslicknyc @NBA_NewYork Yup! That’s exactly it. My parents brother and niece all live in PA now. My friend from college lived in PA for long time. All from nyc. Friends I knew in high school live in PA. Less expensive.

@SlamDunkSlugger @NBA_NewYork Half my family left the city to move to PA. This is definitely a thing.

@jackinhoff6 @NBA_NewYork Exactly it! As with most narratives they’re super simplified lacking nuance or layer.

@SlamDunkSlugger @NBA_NewYork Yeah he’s falsely placing the blame on his own fanbase because his grasp of what the issue is, is fundamentally flawed. He thinks when Knicks fans come they’re like buying them from sixers fans trying to decide between attending or turning a profit.
