Nick has previously toiled in the Knicks' organization as a player development intern and he later worked with the most recent edition of the Knicks Summer League team.
AUG 7 BRUNSON TOP 10 BALL-HANDLER Ratings for most of the players in the league have been released for NBA 2K25, so lists of the top 10 players in each attribute are available.
One of the most important aspects of a player's game in both real life and in 2K is ball-handling, and New York Knicks star Jalen Brunson comes in at No. 6 in the NBA with a 95 ball-handle.
Brunson shocked the sports world night in and night out with his handles and raw scoring ability this past season, and that is how the Knicks were able to finish with a top-five seed. He will be looking to repeat his success from 2023 and prove his 2K ball-handling stat correct.
AUG 5 RANDLE ON PHILLIPINES COURT New York Knicks star Julius Randle signed with Skechers towards the end of last year, and he is already getting his face painted on a basketball court.
As part of a promotional tour with the shoe company, likenesses of Randle and Los Angeles Clippers wing Terance Mann have been added to the famous Tenement Court in the Philippines.
Randle and Mann were the first two players to sign shoe deals with Skechers, then others players like Joel Embiid came and joined the party. This promotion could draw other athletes to sign with the brand, and Randle would be seen as one of the guys that laid the foundation.
AUG 4 HART RESPECTS LYLES Olympic track and field sprinter Noah Lyles went viral when he discredited the NBA Finals last year. But, Lyles just won a gold medal in Paris, and New York Knicks forward Josh Hart took to social media to give the Olympian his respect.
"Lol na he an Olympic gold medalist. He can talk for life," Hart said in a recent post on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Not many people get to say that they are an Olympic gold medalist, but whenever anyone talks trash to Lyles ever again, he can say that and end the conversation.
AUG 4 POWER OF FRIENDSHIP The New York Knicks are going all in on winning the NBA Finals this season, and Josh Hart appeared in a recent stream on XSET and talked about how the team will get it done.
"We're gonna have a very good season just with the power of friendship," Hart said.
The team made one of the biggest moves of the offseason when they acquired Mikal Bridges from the Brooklyn Nets. This gives the Knicks four former Villanova Wildcats, and they will be looking to use that chemistry to help propel them through this season.
