What Josh Hart’s rebounding chaos brings to Mike Brown’s meticulous Knicks plans
NY Post
DALLAS — Mike Brown has everything charted, ready to recite and analyze after the final buzzer.
He has the number of drive-and-kicks, for instance, or “sprays,” as Brown calls them. He has deflections. He has verticalities. He has a handwritten minutes sheet to consult during games for his substitutions. He’s uber-organized, not coincidentally as the son of a military father, and there are defined rules about playing his preferred style.
It’s a contradiction, in some ways. Brown wants the Knicks to adopt a freestylin’ offense without a playbook, but he also wants compliance with his tenets.
Play free, but play fast, and make sure you’re rebounding, passing and dribbling within these charted guidelines.

SAN DIEGO — As you may have seen elsewhere in this newspaper (and also if you haven’t deleted me yet from your social media), I have a book coming out Tuesday called “The Bosses of The Bronx.” Much of it details the 37 years’ worth of antics, winning, losing, winning again and overall mania of George Steinbrenner’s time with the Yankees.

Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.

Wednesday was another positive day at Yankees camp. For the first time since March 6, 2025 — an outing in which he knew “something wasn’t right,” which began a weeks-long saga that ended on the operating table for Tommy John surgery — Gerrit Cole was back on a mound and facing hitters in game action.
