This week we are talking to Paul Knepper, author of the book The Knicks of the Nineties: Ewing, Oakley, Starks and the Brawlers That Almost Won It All. We talk the Knicks, Pat Riley, John Starks, Anthony Mason and whether this team was badder than the Bad Boys of the ’80s.

We also have Choice Words about the latest news in the efforts to wrest justice from the clutches of the Washington Football Team. Then we have Jake’s Takes as well as an NBA preview session!

From Minneapolis to Venezuela, from Gaza to Washington, DC, this is a time of staggering chaos, cruelty, and violence. 

Unlike other publications that parrot the views of authoritarians, billionaires, and corporations, The Nation publishes stories that hold the powerful to account and center the communities too often denied a voice in the national media—stories like the one you’ve just read.

Each day, our journalism cuts through lies and distortions, contextualizes the developments reshaping politics around the globe, and advances progressive ideas that oxygenate our movements and instigate change in the halls of power. 

This independent journalism is only possible with the support of our readers. If you want to see more urgent coverage like this, please donate to The Nation today.
