 The NBA playoffs are underway right now. With teams like the New York Knicks and Phoenix Suns finally breaking their long playoff droughts, we are in for an exciting post-season run. The Nets, 76ers and Bucks are all seemingly cruising to the second round, while the Knicks and the Hawks are in an insane intense battle for a spot. With the Knicks traveling to Atlanta tomorrow, the team has to steal at least one game away from the Hawks if they want to tie this series. STEPHEN A. SMITH BASHES KNICKS FOR QUESTIONABLE DECISION DURING THE SEASON The Knicks are certainly lacking in is the guard position. While Derrick Rose [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/derrick-rose/] is a perfect spark plug option, he has had his injury issues in the past. Given Rose’s dwindling health, the Knicks are forced to start Elfrid Payton. But before Rose’s arrival, the Knicks had a good shooter and guard in Austin Rivers. Analyst Stephen A. Smith spoke about why he Rivers didn’t deserve to be traded [https://www.nba.com/news/report-76ers-acquire-george-hill-in-3-team-trade-with-thunder-knicks] from the team. “Austin Rivers a really good guy, a good player who shouldn’t have been sitting at home unemployed waiting for his phone to ring before he had to accept a 10-day contract.” The veteran analyst also spoke about why Rivers’ presence could have been the game changer for the Knicks and would have been essential in taking some pressure off of Derrick Rose. ” I think about how Austin Rivers could have been in New York this year that’s what I was thinking about last night…. When I watched Austin Rivers drill those threes I said, ‘he’s supposed to be with us. He’s supposed to be with us here in Atlanta right now getting ready to reclaim home advantage.'” A player like Austin Rivers could certainly have been handy for the Knicks. The 27-year-old is coming off of a fantastic 21 point performance against the Blazers and helped the short-handed Nuggets to lead the series 2-1. Given the offensive woes Julius Randle [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/julius-randle/] and RJ Barrett have shown till now, Rivers could have added in the guard rotation and could have hit important jumpers for the team as well. Will the Knicks regret letting go of Rivers in their playoff run? 

Stephen A.Smith in a recent appearance at the First Take questioned the Knicks'
decision to let go off veteran guard Austin Rivers.

<h2 style="text-align: center;">New York Knicks 2021: News, Schedule, Roster, Score, Injury Report</h2>
The Knicks are one of two teams based in New York City, with the other being Brooklyn Nets. The New York Knicks are a part of the Atlantic Division in the NBA?s Eastern Conference and have won two championships to date.

<img class="size-full wp-image-409145 aligncenter" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201013150553/1200px-New_York_Knicks_logo.svg.png" alt="" width="1200" height="974" />

The Knicks are currently owned by Madison Square Garden Sports Corp., a company that manages professional sports teams. Besides the Knicks, MSG Sports also own NHL?s New York Rangers.?

The Dolan family owns a major stake in MSG Sports. James L. Dolan, the Executive Chairman, and CEO is also the owner of the Knicks franchise. Leon Rose is currently serving as the President of the Knicks, while Scott Perry is the team?s General Manager.?

The New York Knicks play their home games at the celebrated Madison Square Garden, colloquially known as ?The Garden? or ?MSG? by Knicks fans. The Madison Square Garden is the oldest arena in the NBA and has been ranked as one of the most <a href="https://seatgeek.com/tba/sports/the-top-ten-most-expensive-sports-stadiums/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">expensive</a> stadiums ever built.?

The Knicks hired Tom Thibodeau as their head coach in 2020. Thibodeau, who won ?NBA Head Coach of the Year? in 2011, replaced interim coach Mike Miller to join his third team in the association as a head coach.?
<h2 style="text-align: center;">History</h2>
The New York Knicks were formed in 1946 as one of the league?s original eight teams. In fact, the Knicks are the only team besides the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/boston-celtics/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Celtics</a> to have never moved from their founding city. They were first affiliated to the Basketball Association of America (BAA) and then joined the NBA after the merger between BAA and NBL (National Basketball League) in 1949.

The Knicks found tremendous success in their early years under Hall of Famer Joe Lapchick. From 1951 to 53, he coached the team to three-successive finals, but they failed to win a championship during his tenure.?

After Lapchick left his job, the team desperately needed a head coach. The struggles were visible until Red Holzman took over in 1967, the same year Walt 'Clyde' Frazier signed for the team.?

The Knicks won both their championships in the 70s decade, under the guidance of Holzman, who is regarded as one of the top 10 coaches in NBA history. But during the 80s, the Knicks slowly lost their dominance in the East.

The Celtics reestablished their authority, and the Knicks struggled to cope with the competition. However, they struck gold by selecting Patrick Ewing as the #1 overall pick in the 1985 NBA draft.?

<img class="size-full wp-image-283205 aligncenter" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200603134226/patrick-ewing.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="640" />

Ewing completely changed the dynamics of the team when he became their franchise player. The Knicks grew into a feared team in the 90s, largely because of their physical game. During a promising decade, the Knicks made it to the finals twice but failed to seize their opportunity.?

After the Knicks? 90s dominance was overthrown, they?ve found it hard to recuperate ever since. The franchise has suffered a major slump over the past two decades through failed signings and imperfect trade deals.?
<h2 style="text-align: center;">New York Knicks: Logo and Mascot</h2>
The Knicks have come a long way with their <a href="https://www.sportslogos.net/logos/view/2nn48xofg0hms8k326cqdmuis/New_York_Knicks/2012/Primary_Logo" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">logos</a>. The team has been around for several decades and the logos have evolved along with the trend. Their current logo is a simplistic one that contains the team?s name in blue and orange, which is placed above an orange basketball on a gray triangle.?

Surprisingly, the New York Knicks are one of the <a href="https://www.sportscasting.com/do-the-new-york-knicks-have-a-mascot/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">four teams</a> in the NBA that doesn?t have a mascot. It is quite strange to know that the team has never pushed for a mascot since it attracts large crowds, especially children.?

<img class="size-full wp-image-409149 aligncenter" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201013150827/New-York-Knicks-MSG.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="650" />

The Knicks, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/los-angeles-lakers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Lakers</a>, Nets, and the Warriors are the only teams in the association without an official mascot! The lack of a mascot makes one of the richest teams in the NBA look incomplete.?

Traditionally, the Knicks wear white uniforms for their home games, with stripes of blue and orange surrounding it. Their primary uniform colors include blue, orange, silver, black, and white.?
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Team?s sponsors</h2>
Back in 2017, <a href="https://www.nba.com/knicks/knicks-and-squarespace-announce-signature-partnership#:~:text=New%20York%2C%20NY%2C%20October%2010,York%20Knicks'%20first%20jersey%20sponsor." target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Squarespace</a> became the Knick?s first jersey sponsor through a multi-year deal. The website building platform is also the team?s main sponsor currently. Besides this, the Knicks have running partnerships with other <a href="https://sponsorpitch.com/deals/royal-caribbean-sponsors-new-york-knicks" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">companies</a> like Pepsi and Royal Caribbean to name a few.?

Derrick Rose 2021: Net worth, salary and endorsements

Derrick Rose was born in Chicago, Illinois, on October 4, 1988. He is an NBA player who currently plays for the New York Knicks.

Rose initially played one year of college basketball for the Memphis Tigers before being drafted as the first overall pick by his hometown club, <a href="https://www.nba.com/bulls/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Chicago Bulls</a>, in the 2008 NBA draft. He was also named the NBA Rookie of the Year.

Two years later, Rose, at 22, became the youngest player to win the NBA Most Valuable Player (MVP) Award in 2011.

[caption id="attachment_672620" align="alignnone" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-672620" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2021-05-30T162531Z_727120404_MT1USATODAY16177836_RTRMADP_3_NBA-PLAYOFFS-NEW-YORK-KNICKS-AT-ATLANTA-HAWKS.jpg" alt="Derrick Rose" width="1920" height="1280" /> May 30, 2021; Atlanta, Georgia, USA; New York Knicks guard Derrick Rose (4) warms up on the court prior to the game against the Atlanta Hawks in game four in the first round of the 2021 NBA Playoffs. at State Farm Arena.

His time in Chicago ended with the 2015/16 season, after which he played a season each for the New York Knicks, Cleveland Cavaliers, and the Minnesota Timberwolves, before joining the Pistons.

After suffering multiple injuries, he had a good comeback with the Pistons, but with his playoff ambitions, Rose asked to leave and rejoined the Knicks via trade in February 2021.

<h2>Derrick Rose stats</h2>
During his MVP days, Rose was one of the best scorers in the league. He averaged <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/r/rosede01.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">25 points</a>, 4.1 rebounds, and 7.7 assists in the 2010-11 season, which made the youngest MVP in NBA history.

In the 2020-21 season, Rose recorded 14.9 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 4.2 assists per game. He played only 35 regular season games and then became the team's top scorer in the team's five playoff games (averaging 19.4 points).
<h2>Derrick Rose 2021 net worth:</h2>
According to <a href="https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-athletes/nba/derrick-rose-net-worth/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Celebrity Net Worth</a>, Derrick Rose is valued at around $90 million.

After being drafted in 2009, Rose showed promise which earned him a five-year $94 million deal from the Bulls. Injury troubles forced him to take minimum deals to stay in the league, but a return to form earned him a two-year $15 million deal from the Pistons.
