The 2024-25 New York Knicks are attempting to become the first 50/40/80 team in NBA history.
According to @basketball-reference.com, 3 teams have flirted with it before, coming at least w/in 1 percentage point in all 3 categories: the 7SOL Suns, the KD/Steph Warriors and the KD/Kyrie/Harden Nets.

Jalen Brunson is averaging 25.1 ppg on 49/43/85 shooting splits + 7.5 apg with the best AST/TO ratio (3.39) for high-usage players
He's taking ANOTHER huge leap this season

I'm gonna lose my mind listening to people call OG Anunoby the Knicks' best "two-way player" for the next few years. Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns are both better two-way players than OG

At least Morey and the Sixers won the offseason
Amick says the Sixers knew about the full extent of Embiid's injury before they signed him to the extension.
He added that the odds of keeping him healthy "are OK, they're not great, and they felt good enough about it to do that deal. But they certainly can't guarantee that he's gonna be OK."

Gutsy win from Seton Hall over VCU. Needed that after a rocky start. Chaunce Jenkins is a baller and the Pirates can defend anyone

The Knicks defense is gonna be a work-in-progress until they get healthy, but the offense is gonna carry them to a ton of wins. Almost impossible to stop #KnicksSky
