Like many New York Knicks fans, Carmelo Anthony has heightened hopes and a deep belief in his team for the 2025-26 season.

There are very high expectations for this team, and every reason to believe they can reach them.

Speaking about the Knicks, Anthony talked about why the team could be such a force in the East this year.

“They have everything…The players…the point guard…We have the best big man shooter possibly in history…Mike Brown…Brunson offball…Clarkson…Brogdon…I watch preseason, see the fast pace, the system…I just…Knicks would be #1 seed–and I just dropped the mic,” Anthony said.

When he puts it that way, it’s easy to see the many exciting things the Knicks bring to the table.

The addition of Karl-Anthony Towns last season was outstanding for New York, and he instantly fit into the rotation.

The fans and the players are elated to get another season with him.

Jalen Brunson’s greatness cannot be questioned at this point, and he is one of the most celebrated point guards in the league.

He has become a Knicks hero in just a few years and has shown he has what it takes to lead under pressure.

Their new head coach Mike Brown has a lot to prove himself, but there is belief in what he has done with previous teams and how he’ll seamlessly move into his role in New York.

There are plenty of supporting stars on the roster, too, such as Josh Hart, Mikal Bridges, and newcomers like Malcolm Brogdon and Jordan Clarkson.

Plus, it’s worth noting just how different the Eastern Conference will be this year, with the absences of both Jayson Tatum and Tyrese Haliburton.

There are many reasons to think this will be a big season for the Knicks, and it’s not only former players who think so.
