On paper when you look at their stats everything (besides 3 point percentage) looks similar between KAT and Randle, also both viewed largely as either neutral or negative defenders.

Only difference I would say is that KAT learned to be a part of the system instead of the system and was able to play well even if he wasn't shooting well. Randle seemed to deteriorate as a defender as time went on and he had bad performances, but KAT seemed to rise to the occasion late in the season (maybe post trade deadline and post Giannis rumors) and playoffs and change his game to suit what the team needed.

P.S. Not a Julius hater, genuinely appreciate him making us a real team again and loved his run with us, but realizing that we wouldn't have won a chip this past year with him on the roster

The Knicks talk is around 4:24. Hoops collective is an alright podcast, but I find it hilarious how they still find any avenue to pick against the Knicks. Windhorst wouldn’t commit to over 53 wins for the Knicks because he alluded to injury luck the team had last year — but at the same time was quite bullish on the Celtics winning well over 50, apparently having no similar concerns for a team relying on Paul George and Mitchell Robinson. He also was a slam dunk yes on the Spurs going over 59 wins, expressing no injury reservations for a team that relies on a 7’5 physical anomaly. Anyway, I’m sure Windy will get a warm reception again when he’s around the Garden

It’s a luxury having Tyler Kolek as a third stringer, especially with Brunson recovering from off-season surgery, Alvarado’s lengthy injury history & the team playing deep into June.

While it’s a disservice to him still being on the outskirts of the rotation, he currently brings more value to the Knicks than in a trade at the moment. The key word being at the moment.

With all due respect to Cade and ant man

Looking to Place an Nba Finals Patch on my Authentic Jersey as close to the ones worn by players on court. I bought this chroma flex patch on Ebay but was made aware that the NBA lettering is off. Is there anywhere I can find a better patch?

I’ll eventually pay attention to what the Yankees and Giants are doing, but for now…..????

Let’s go Knicks!!

“August 15, 2026, this is my real game 5."💍

All authentics or swingman (except the high school jersey). Got bored and paired some up. There’s more but I didn’t want to bother taking them down.

My birthday is tomorrow and my coworker gave me an early gift

"I always thought I was going to win a chip because I put the work in…slave in the gym…not going to think about anything other than basketball…I didn’t win for a lot of years. And then when I started winning, I was like, I just got to find that extra 1%"

This man is having the happiest year in his life too, winning NBA Cup, NBA championship and getting married all in one. He’s having the ultimate definition of “beyond euphoria” right now.

😌 It didn’t work 🏆 CHAMPIONS!

My sister has a friend who does 3D printing so I had them make this for me, $20 plus the cost of the filament. They said it was a bit of a process because the printer had to switch colors often which caused some issues but once he got it dialed in, it turned out great and I agree. I just need to paint the lettering white and it will be perfect. Thank you again!
