JR Smith has reportedly been cruising around the streets of New York in an armored vehicle worth over 450,000 dollars. It is never safe to go inside the mind of JR Smith, but if I had to guess, i would say that Smith has realized how badly he needs a crash-proof car. Good to see he learned at least ONE lesson from Jason Kidd last season.

As you can see, the Knicks only have one home game this preseason, due to renovations taking place at The Garden. October 25th vs Charlotte is the date to book if you want to get to the Garden to see an exhibition game.
The season is only 76 days away, and the preseason is even closer. The wait is almost over, guys.
After rapper Kendrick Lamar got the internet buzzing after calling out every relevant rapper from his era Monday Night, another rapper has decided he is up for a challenge. That rapper happens to be Knicks guard Iman Shumpert, a promising young athlete who has dabbled in the rap game as his “side hustle”. Shumpert recently scored a gig on First Lady Michelle Obama’s upcoming rap album (yes, that is happening, but Michelle will not rap on the album herself), and is clearly feeling pretty confident. Shumpert dropped his latest freestyle yesterday, and just announced that “He Will Respond” to Lamar’s aggressive comments toward other young rappers.
Shumpert ended up making a response track called “Dear Kendrick”. First, he tweeted this:
Then, he dropped this
And at the end of the song, he says he wants to be a Knick for life. So this was a pretty fun sequence of events.

In a weird pairing, the FIrst Lady is slated to put the young Knicks guard on her upcoming album. Shumpert, who has pursued a career as a rapper in addition to his job on the court, will appear on a song called “Pass the Rock”. Read more here
Note: Apparently, Ms. Obama will not be singing on the album herself, despite it being her album.
Anyway, this should be interesting. -Tommy
Wait… that’s not news to anybody…
