Even though most people choose to stan for some other teams in the league, the New York Knicks have had an incredible start to this NBA season and are quietly improving with each passing day.
After being obvious overachievers throughout the 2020-21 season, these New York Knicks did not rest during the summer. The players worked on their game, while team management pulled off a few tricks to significantly enhance the team’s offense.
We are just six games into the season and the Knicks are enjoying the best record in the entire league, at 5-1, tied with a few other teams. If we were to exclude a few irregularities, every single part of Tom Thibodeau’s game plan seems to be running smoothly.
The New York Knicks have been rolling and nearly every player is impressing
That damn Thibs got the Knicks looking like the BEST basketball team in NEW YORK!!! Something about that Culture right now hit different! Carry the hell on...

On the other side of the spectrum, one would have to dig in pretty deep to find members of the team that have disappointed thus far. As Kemba Walker correctly put it, nobody seems to care about individual stats. All they care about is winning.
The New York Knicks have a pretty large selection of players that have impressed thus far, making it rather hard to handpick only three of them.
Want to know how good the Knicks have been in this small sample of basketball? Barely not making this list are Derrick Rose and Kemba Walker, who are both shooting over 54% from the three-point line. This team’s depth is just insane.
