The NBA made massive waves this week with a blockbuster trade just ahead of the start of the regular season. The Minnesota Timberwolves sent former number-one overall pick Karl-Anthony Towns to the New York Knicks in exchange for Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo. On Thursday, the new Knicks star was seen rocking the blue and orange.

It has been a long time since the Knicks were able to call themselves NBA champions. For example, they haven't been able to say that at any point in my 31 years on this earth. However, the revival of Knicks basketball cannot go unnoticed. New York fell one game short of making the Eastern Conference Finals last season, and the franchise believes this trade will be the one that gets them over the hump.

Love them or hate them, the NBA is a better product when the Knicks are good. It's a new dawn, it's a new day, and Knicks fans are feeling good.
