Varsity Letters returns to The Gallery at Le Poisson Rouge on Wednesday, February 22, with a night that looks at the sorry state of New York Knicks basketball.

Howard Beck, senior NBA writer at Bleacher Report, will be joined by Harvey Araton, longtime New York Times writer and author of When the Garden Was Eden, and Vocativ sports writer Robert Silverman.

Along with moderator Yaron Weitzman, Knicks beat reporter at Bleacher Report, the panel will look at whether the Charles Oakley incident represents rock bottom for the franchise and what the lead singer of JD & the Straight Shot could possibly do to Fix the Knicks.
