This Halloween, the New York Knicks (2-3) finished a three-game road trip with an Emirates Cup game against the Chicago Bulls (5-0).

There are many different archetypes of NBA players. There are, of course, differences between superstars, stars, starters, role players, and benchwarmers. There are stylistic differences, whether you’re a distributor, shooter, or defender. There’s the glue guys, 3-and-Ds, and rim protectors. There’s also a key distinction of knowing your role.

The Knicks have lost two straight games to drop to 2-2 on the season, which isn’t ideal, but it’s still relatively acceptable. Right? I mean, it’s very, very early in the season, the team is dealing with injuries, and they are adjusting to a coach who has introduced an offense unlike the last coach’s. Well, […]
