  • The NBA held their 2022 Draft on Thursday, June 23..
  • As they always do, the New York Knicks found a way to absolutely botch virtually every decision.

And as for the Knicks, well… the Knicks have been a trainwreck virtually my entire life. I have faint memories of the Ewing teams from the late 90s and the Sprewell/Houston days from the early 2000s — even that *one* fun season with Melo and Amare back in 2012 — but other than that, it’s nothing but disaster after disaster.
