The Knicks Take Podcast

The Knicks Take Podcast

The Knicks Take is a weekly sports podcast where two brothers discuss the biggest Knicks topics and debate them from their own perspectives. Hosts Jelanie (Jah So Focused) and Khiari (French) are two brothers from the South Bronx who grew up in an expressly loud Knicks household. With Jelanie being an 80’s baby, and Khiari being the 90s, they experienced the New York Knicks through different generational views. These differing viewpoints allow them to talk about the current Knicks team from their own unique lens. The two will bring you a fair, balanced and interesting representation of the team without the reactionary bluster usually found in sports media. Light on statistics and heavier on results, opinions, funny moments, and guest appearances...this podcast is made for easy listening!
