Comedian Druski and adult content creator Sky Bri stirred buzz online after attending the Knicks-Lakers game together in New York on Sunday. The pair were all smiles sitting next to diehard Knicks fan, Spike Lee, on celebrity row at Madison Square Garden. Druski, born Drew Desbordes, and Bri were seen getting out of a dark SUV together as they entered the world’s most famous arena.
Dave McMenamin: “At the end of the day, everything has to come to an end at some point. So, no matter what it is, it's going to be like, ‘S—, I'll never play again in Madison Square Garden. I'll never play again in certain arenas. I’ll never play again, period’” - LeBron on his uncertain future

Oh No He Didn't: Michael Jordan's advice to a star player playing at MSG: "Be you. What they're trying to get you to do is not be you and to me that is a challenge for a young kid, but it's a privilege, it's an honor. If they're coming in and they're yelling at you you're an impactful player. Shut em up. If you're not you they win"
Oh No He Didn't: Michael Jordan on playing at MSG: "It was never hostile towards me, it was more motivating at trying to get me off my game. I'm gonna keep you quiet for a while. I was never afraid of playing in New York City"
Caitlin Clark is headed to the NBA, at least for a couple of nights. NBC announced Tuesday that Clark — the Indiana Fever star with an enormous following within the game — is joining the network’s pregame coverage for its debut of “Sunday Night Basketball” this weekend when the Los Angeles Lakers play the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden. It’s set to be a two-night gig for Clark, who plans to return to NBC in another pregame role on March 29 when the Knicks visit the Oklahoma City Thunder. “There’s no more iconic figure in basketball in the women’s game right now, or the game in general,” Sam Flood, executive producer for NBC Sports, told The Associated Press. “So, we said, ‘let’s have a bigger conversation.’”

You better have deep pockets to see LeBron James at MSG. Tickets on the secondary market for Sunday’s Lakers-Knicks showdown have been purchased for an average of $912, according to TickPick, which is the most expensive in the NBA since Kobe Bryant’s final game in 2016. James has not announced his retirement, but, at 41 years old with an uncertain contract future, it might be his final appearance at his favorite arena. According to TickPick, the price of Knicks-Lakers is 20 percent higher than the second-most expensive game this season, which is Warriors at Lakers on Feb. 7 ($760).
One more tricky variable: Antetokounmpo has long been assumed to have strong interest in playing at Madison Square Garden in front of the NBA's most fervent fanbases and taking on the challenge, like he did as a Buck, of leading the franchise to its first championship after a wait of more than 50 years. Yet it's unclear whether the Knicks and everything that comes with playing in Gotham appeals to him today in the same manner it was reputed to tempt Antetokounmpo in August.
Karl-Anthony Towns on the bench in crunch time is starting to become a familiar sight. He didn’t play the last 6:51 of the Knicks’ 103-87 win over the Kings Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden, with coach Mike Brown opting for Mitchell Robinson instead. “He saw what he saw,” Towns said after the game. “We got a win, that’s the most important thing.”
Chloe Peterson: PER RELEASE: Caitlin Clark will join NBC Sports as a special contributor for the newly-launched Basketball Night in America on Feb. 1, preceding the Lakers-Knicks game at Madison Square Garden. It will be CC’s first time in an analyst-type role on TV.
Last Monday, the Knicks were harshly booed by Madison Square Garden fans in their 114-97 home loss against the Dallas Mavericks. “We talked, but it wasn’t like some big thing. So that got dragged. We didn’t have a players-only meeting,” Hart added. “We know what we have to do. We cleared stuff up yesterday in film and practice and today in walkthroughs. "We know we haven’t been playing up to our capabilities, but we’re gonna continue to play off this win.”

But the Knicks were mauled 114-97 Monday night at Madison Square Garden, extending their losing streak to four. It’s their second four-game skid in their past 11 games. They went 2-9 in those 11 games and are now 7-11 since their NBA Cup triumph. In a season that was set with Finals-or-bust expectations, the Knicks sit just 1 ¹/2 games above the play-in. “We didn’t show up,” Jalen Brunson said. Any idea why? “No,” he responded. It now feels like ages ago that Brown was being praised when his Knicks were firing on all cylinders. The alarm bells around his team keep growing louder, and it was Mavericks coach Jason Kidd — who The Post previously reported the Knicks had strong interest in hiring but were denied permission to interview — who delivered the latest gut punch to Brown’s team.

Draymond Green: So who are the teams that could go after Ja Morant? The Sacramento Kings—I could see that. The Miami Heat? Absolutely. The Toronto Raptors? Possibly. A dark horse I’d throw out is the New York Knicks. I haven’t seen any reports linking them, but imagine Ja Morant at Madison Square Garden. That’s box office. Needless to say, if Ja Morant is traded, whatever team lands him instantly gets better. Make no mistake—when you have that level of talent, your team improves overnight."
The first boos of the season have cropped up at Madison Square Garden. And Mike Brown isn’t blaming the fans. “As a fan, you have the right to panic,” Brown said. “You have a right to boo, you have the right to cheer. That’s what this is, this is a sport. Knicks fans are passionate. They’re pretty knowledgeable too, from the little bit of time that I’ve been here. I’m good with whatever they do. “It’s up to us to make sure that we take care of us and we handle the process the right way. That’s what I’m more concerned about than anything else. I love Knicks fans, whether they panic or they don’t, or they boo or they cheer, I’ll still love them.”
