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.

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.
