Seriously, Are You Guys Posing for These?: A Knicks Photo Year in Review

Man, do the New York Knicks know how to take a mean bench photo. I guess that's what happens when your team racks up an impressive 56 losses. Here's a look at some of the great Knicks photos of the year...I think you'll probably see some kind of trend.

THE "STARBURY"

I'm not sure anyone has mastered the "towel on head" look quite like Stephon Marbury, the selfish superstar turned high interviewee turned absolute nutcase. Some glimpses into his favorite look:

THE NEW HOPE

They say that in order to be a serious contender in basketball, you have to have a solid big man; someone you can throw the ball to down low and get an easy basket. Zach Randolph was supposedly the "big addition" to the Knickerbockers this off-season, and boy did he...well, not really improve them at all.

THE YOUNG TALENT

Teams with bad records often pride themselves on their hope for the future through their young and talented yet inexperienced players. These young players know they aren't wasting away their prime playing for an awful team, and if their team does poorly, the greater their chance of getting in the game. Except for the Knicks, where everyone sitting on the bench is just depressed.

ALTERNATE UNIFORMS

The Knicks fashion sense has been just about the best thing they have going for them. A motley assortment of injured/insane players were present on the bench throughout the season showing off the new unis.

THE FEARLESS LEADER

But what would the Knicks be without their noble shepherd, leading his flock from the darkness into even more darkness? Isiah knows how to take a depressing photo with the best of them.
