Neither Mindaugas Kuzminskas nor Sasha Vujacic are about to take Ron Duguay or Steve Valiquette’s jobs, but the Knicks forward and guard have found another passion outside of basketball.

The phone call came early in the morning Lithuanian time and the suspense began. Mindaugas Kuzminskas’ agent said an NBA team had made an offer to the rising European star and that details would come via email in about five minutes. Ever wait for the news that a baby was born? “I was waiting like […]
BY: LENN ROBBINS We were going to say that Knicks Knation has expanded to Knicks InterKnational, but the European contingent on this team already has taken care of finding a nickname. Meet ‘The Euro-Connection.’ Willy Hernangomez, Mindaugas Kuzminskas, Kristaps Porzingis, Sasha Vujacic, along with Maurice Ndour of Senegal, have given the Knicks as talented and […]
