Thought the best part of the Bol Bol performance was how his defense got it started in the fourth quarter. Made a few key plays and that momentum got Durant going. Then he went nuts. Very good first half too. Another encouraging performance. Needs to play every night. – 11:00 PM

One person who is impressed with what he’s seen from Leon Rose so far is none other than Knicks legend Carmelo Anthony, who recently took to his 7PM in Brooklyn podcast, presented by Wave Sports + Entertainment, to heap lofty praise on the executive. “What Leon did with the Knicks is impressive…He came in…ship was sinking…sunk…He wiped all that s**t out––front office, players…cleaned house. Imma bring in a cultural guy: [Tom Thibodeau]…hold you accountable…ain’t gonna get no sleep…Now you get to mold your team the way that you want…build the pieces…draft picks…players Thibs really trusts…” said Anthony, per New York Basketball on X, the social media platform formerly referred to as Twitter. -via Clutch Points / February 22, 2024
Carmelo Anthony described how he almost joined the Los Angeles Lakers in 2011 before the Denver Nuggets ultimately traded him to the New York Knicks. Melo said that the one responsible for the deal not happening was then-Nuggets coach George Karl. “The deal was done with the Lakers,” Anthony said while visiting Dwyane Wade’s “The Why” podcast. “Me and Nenê for Lamar Odom and Bynum. That deal was done. I never thought about New York… When they turned that deal down, when George [Karl] had that deal and turned that deal now, now it’s like: ‘Oh, y’all don’t want me in the West, gonna send me to the East. Get me to New York.’” -via EuroHoops.net / February 20, 2024
George Karl: Happy bday to the champ, the ultimate team guy and the greatest player to wear #15 in Denver hoops history. -via Twitter @CoachKarl22 / February 19, 2024

Kevin Durant mentioned you as a potential face of the NBA. What was your reaction? Tyrese Maxey: You have to appreciate that. He is one of the greatest, honestly. As kids, my generation looked up to him when we were growing up. He is probably one of the most unguardable players to ever play the game of basketball. To have that recognition from him is much love, and I really appreciate him for that. -via For The Win / February 23, 2024
