So you really believe the most credible reporter has zero sources with the Knicks? :lol:


When did he report on something about the Knicks as the first source in regards to breaking news?

The OG trade, the KAT trade, firing Thibs, trading Grimes, trading Sims.

Shams was not the first to have the breaking news about Thibodeau. Knicksfantv said Thibodeau was already on thin ice during the playoffs, while every reporter, Shams included was saying Thibodeau will be here for the 2025-2026 season

Before Woj left everyone knew Woj was a source for front offices, while Shams was the source for agents and players.

OG, KAT, Grimes, Sims < Agents/Players

When Shams reports something it's always coming from agents or the individual themselves.

Micah Nori? Anyone know anything about him? Those interview clips sound like Gomer Pyle. Please tell me he is great at something other than funny hick quotes.

He coached the Timberwolves in last year's playoffs after Mike Conley bumped into Chris Finch.

Knicksfantv isn’t a real source. They get majority of things wrong. Saying Thibs is on “thin ice” is just playing safe. They never broke the news about Thibs actually getting fired. Shams did. They’re already wrong about Bryant being a top candidate for us.

Shams breaking the news about Thibs being fired, and all those blockbuster trades is all the proof you need.

Incorrect. He absolutely is a source. He knew KAT before anyone else and specifically said Thibs on thin ice was not speculation at all. He has hit on other things too. He has a VERY good source within the organization. Shams is the one that gets a TON wrong with the Knicks,

How many games? Did they win those game's? What was his input? Did he just continue doing what Finch was doing? Not really impressed by a guy who was interim coach for three minutes.

Micah Mori on the roommates podcast would be hilarious... but the important thing is: can he coach? Not be a friend, not be funny...not worried about being engaging. From what I've read - he's like the Thibs opposite in the fact that he allegedly excels in situational management, particularly late-game situations, and is a game-execution guru. And prioritizes player development

I don't know a damn thing about Nori but he seems like a good guy you'd have a beer with. Not sure if that makes him the right guy to coach this team. And we'll see how funny he is when we have a 5 game losing streak and everyone here wants to tear it down and tank.

I’m excited about them interviewing Nori. Like I’ve said before I’d rather a hot shot assistant with mike brown as lead assistant than either brown or Jenkins has head coach.

He has got to be the funniest coach in the NBA. “Our paint is like 7-11, open 24 hours!” He is definitely the Anti-Thibs. :lol:

Jay10 explained this to you as well even bringing up how Shams was associated with Klutch (more specifically its an agency that partnered with Klutch).

Not going to argue with you. You keep on believing that then. You are one of those dudes that when he has made up his mind on something right or wrong there is no convincing you other wise :lol:
