The catch phrase "Linsanity"— a word which captured the meteoric rise and city-wide euphoria of New York Knicks' sensation Jeremy Lin— has been awarded to the point guard by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. J-Lin captured New York's heart and playoff hopes with his Lin-credible rise from undrafted player to the face of a team and the NBA. "It'...

With Mike Woodson officially named Knicks head coach Friday night, general manager Glen Grunwald answered the $10 million-per-year question on why he didn't reach out to Phil Jackson to see if he could lure the Zen Master and his NBA-record 11 coaching titles to Madison Square Garden. Grunwald said Woodson's postseason interview was as impressive as his 18-6 regular-season...

There was speculation that the Knicks would bring in Phil Jackson as coach, but apparently the Knicks didn't want him. See why.

The New York Knicks were rumored to go after Phil Jackson this off-season to be their head coach, finishing his NBA career of where he started.However, the Knicks made the decision that comes to no surprise to many, as they signed Mike Woodson to a multi-year extension according to RealGM. Woodson served as the interim coach for the Knicks after Mike D'Antoni got fired mid-season...

Knicks guard J.R. Smith was arrested late Thursday night in Miami Beach after officers learned there was a warrant out for his arrest following a routine traffic stop. Yup, Smith had a warrant out for his arrest because he never addressed a past ticket for driving without a valid license. Come on J.R., how hard is it to toss a check for a few hundo in the mail so you can avoid this...

Miami Beach police say a New York Knicks player has been arrested on a bench warrant for not having a valid driver's license. Sgt. Bobby Hernandez says 26-year-old J.R. Smith was stopped Thursday night on Washington Avenue in South Beach. A routine search revealed the bench warrant and he was arrested.

The NBA revealed the selections for its three "All-NBA" teams (as voted by the media) earlier this afternoon.Though players like M.V.P LeBron James and Kevin Durant highlighted the "All-NBA" First Team, and both Andrew Bynum and Tony Parker paced the Second Team, it was the Knicks' own Carmelo Anthony and Tyson Chandler who represented New York, being honored...

After their playing days are over, most NBA players ride off into the sunset and enjoy the relaxation that comes with retirement. Senator Bill Bradley isn’t “most NBA players.” After a storied basketball career that included two NBA championships and an all-star appearance, Bradley decided to take the political world by storm. After spending ten seasons as a New York Knicks...

During this season's NBA playoffs, the Knicks received a bit of Deja Vu when two of their best players sat out with various injuries. Jeremy Lin (knee injury) and Amar'e Stoudemire (hand) both missed game(s) this postseason, preventing New York from making much noise for the second straight season.Injuries surely don't help things, but there's still no doubt interim...

Many assume that restricted free agent Jeremy Lin will stay in NYC, but his agent says that isn't necessarily what will happen this summer.

I don’t mean to turn this into a bash Carmelo Anthony post, nor am I insinuating that with more balanced scoring the Knicks could have beaten the Heat. They couldn’t have, but at least they could have made it more interesting.

Enter one Steve Nash. He’s experienced and is the epitome of a floor general the New York Knicks so desperately need. He clearly would not need to play 40 minutes a night with Lin coming in off of the bench.
