A former six-time NBA All-Star is now pursuing a post-playing career that Shaquille O’Neal did, having described it as a ‘childhood dream’. Life after the NBA looks very different for various players.
After 53 years largely defined by disappointments, doubts, and setbacks, the New York Knicks ended their title drought with one of the most impressive postseason runs in recent history.
Anyone expecting the New York Knicks to come out like gangbusters in their title defense this preseason may be a bit disappointed. Through four preseason games, the Knicks sit at 0-4, fresh off a 148-98 shellacking from the Toronto Raptors on a second night of a back-to-back (they do that in preseason?) in which all of the Knicks’ starters sat.
Expectations following a franchise’s first championship in 53 years are bound to be through the roof, and those largely responsible for making such a historic mark will be under a microscope as the team looks to repeat.
Karl-Anthony Towns’ contract uncertainty has prompted Cedric Maxwell to deliver a simple reminder to the New York Knicks: remember who helped bring home the title.
Who is the X factor for every NBA player this season? We’re not talking about the go-to guy, like Nikola Jokic or Steph Curry. It could be a big-name player, an all-star, or a bench player, but they are the pivot point for their team.
The Knicks have one roster spot left to fill, and it will more than likely go to a third center. James Wiseman fits that profile. At 25 years old, he's showing that he can handle the role, and the film backs it up.

Heading into the offseason, there were some questions surrounding if Clarkson would return. He had won his first championship, and the Knicks let it be known early on that their priority was to bring back the bench core of Landry Shamet, Jose Alvarado, and the up and coming Mohamed Diawara.
Many would argue that the first step in defending your title is keeping everyone who helped get you there. Outside of big men Ariel Hukporti and Mitchell Robinson, the New York Knicks have done just that this summer.
