🚨 New Words 🚨 Knicks News and Rumor Roundup Something funky going down in Dallas?? Injury issues in the NBA... tommybeer.substack.com/p/knicks-new...

def worth keeping as eye on the J Kidd situation in Dallas... * Unlike Ime Udoka (who agreed to an extension with the Rockets) and Billy Donovan (who has purportedly inked an extension with the Bulls), the Mavs have not yet agreed to tack on additional years/money to Kidd’s current contract.

🚨 New Words 🚨 Knicks News and Rumor Roundup Something funky going down in Dallas?? Injury issues in the NBA... tommybeer.substack.com/p/knicks-new...

Always happy to re-post this during Game 7s… Bill Russell played in a total of 10 Game 7's in his NBA career He was 10-0. He averaged 18.6 points and 32.3 rebounds per game in those 10 contests.

The following players drafted with Obi in 2020 had logged more career NBA minutes than Toppin on the day the Knicks traded him to Indiana: Xavier Tillman, Josh Green, Aleksej Pokusevski, R.J. Hampton and Théo Maledon.

Obi Toppin started a total of 15 games in his three years as a Knicks. In those 15 starts, Obi averaged: 20.8 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.1 assists and, 2.7 made three-pointers, while shooting: 57.6% from the floor, 44.0% from 3PT range, 83.7% from the FT line

KD over the past 4 years: Playoff series victories: 1 Playoff series in which he was swept: 2 Trade demands: 2 Teams: 3

On Opening Night of the 2022-23 season, this was the Suns starting lineup: PG: Chris Paul (who led the NBA in assists and finished top-10 in MVP voting the prior season) SG: Devin Booker (who was 1st Team All-NBA and top-5 in MVP voting the prior season)

The Rockets have made five top-20 picks in the past three years (Amen Thompson, Jabari Smith, Cam Whitmore, Tari Eason, Reed Sheppard) - and the Suns couldn't pry any of them from Houston in a deal for Kevin freakin' Durant.

In 2024-25, Kevin Durant became the first player in NBA history to shoot above 52% from the field and above 42% from three-point range in the same year (min. 1,000+ FGAs and 300+ 3PTAs).

Highest scoring average over the first 7 games of a postseason in NBA History: 1. Michael Jordan: 41.6 points per game (1988) 2. Michael Jordan: 40.0 PPG (1990) 3. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: 37.1 PPG (1977 4. Jalen Brunson: 36.6 PPG (2024)

What the Suns gave up for Kevin Durant: Mikal Bridges, Cameron Johnson, Jae Crowder, Unprotected 2023 first-round pick Unprotected 2025 first-round pick Unprotected 2027 first-round pick Unprotected 2028 first-round pick swap Unprotected 2029 first-round pick

Highest Scoring average in playoff elimination games in NBA history (minimum 10+ games played): 1. LeBron James: 33.1 points per game 2. Michael Jordan: 31.3 3. Wilt Chamberlain: 31.1 4. Kevin Durant: 29.9 5. Steph Curry: 28.9

Obi Toppin is the first player this century to score more than 75 points and grab more than 25 rebounds off the bench in an NBA Finals series. He is the only player in NBA history with 75+ points, 25+ boards and 10+ three-pointers off the bench in the Finals.

Talked about this on the pod with @zachlowenba.bsky.social today, though neither of us had the stats handy.

Two weeks ago, Gilbert Arenas had this to say about Knicks C Karl-Anthony Towns: “He's built like a whole fucking bitch. He's built like a female… He's built like a girl! He has girl hips. He's like a full WNBA player." (And like the 5th dumbest thing Arenas has said this season.)

pretty cool thing to have in your apartment

really is incredible how things have played out in NYC since Durant chose the Nets over the Knicks and signed with Brooklyn six years ago... Playoff wins over the past four years: Knicks: 23 Nets: Zero

We've had 7 different NBA champions in the past 7 years (from 2019 thru 2025). What's crazy is that LeBron played in eight consecutive NBA Finals series in the 8 years prior (from 2011 through 2018). crazy
