New York Knicks to Be on ‘The Association’ Show Next?


“The Associaton”, the NBA’s PC-version of “Hard Knocks“, is reportedly interested in following the Knicks around for a season. The Celtics and Lakers were the show’s subjects during its first two seasons. From the NY Post: “The NBA reality show, ‘The Association’ has contacted the Knicks about being the subject of their third season, according to a television source. ‘The Association’ — an up-close, behind-the-scenes series — is similar to HBO’s NFL documentary series ‘Hard Knocks’ that once followed the Jets. Talks with the Knicks are only in their initial stage. Last season, ‘The Association’ followed the Celtics with Donnie Wahlberg as narrator. Two years ago, it featured the Lakers, and Andy Garcia was the narrator. The Knicks intrigue NBA TV because of the newly transformed Garden and their transformed team with the Big Apple 3 of Amar’e Stoudemire, Carmelo Anthony and Chauncey Billups.”
