The "New" New York Knicks Alex Caruso '17 Flashback to the 2012 NBA Playoffs: Carmelo Anthony leads the New York Knicks to a second round exit, the farthest the Knicks have gone in 12 years. Fast forward to the 2016 postseason: every player from that 2012 team is no longer apart of the Knicks, except for Carmelo Anthony. After coming off of a horrendous 2015-16 NBA Season, Phil Jackson looks to prep the team for an eventual playoff return. This past offseason has been the most productive in recent years for the Knicks, making key additions such as Derrick Rose, Joakim Noah, Courtney Lee, Brandon Jennings, and several other role players. The head coaching job was open after the departure of interim head coach Kurt Rambis over the summer, making room for the new head coach, Jeff Hornacek. As the 2016 NBA season nears, the Knicks have one of the most solid starting lineups in recent memory.

The Knicks first round pick of the 2015 NBA Draft, Kristaps Porzingis is averaging 20.3 PPG, 6.8 RPG, and 1.2 BLKPG. With a solid core putting up nice numbers, accompanied by solid bench players like Justin Holiday, Lance Thomas, and Brandon Jennings, the New York Knicks look to make their first playoff appearance since 2012.
The Cubs End the Curse Jon Cerini '17 For the first time since 1908, the Chicago Cubs won the World Series for Major League Baseball as they defeated the Cleveland Indians in a grueling Game 7 that will go down in history.
