Story summary

Andre Drummond, an experienced NBA veteran with 967 games under his belt and two All-Star appearances, has joined the New York Knicks to replace the popular Mitchell Robinson. Drummond, born in nearby Mount Vernon, boasts four league-leading rebounding seasons and was named to the All-NBA third team once since 1946 when only about half a percent of players achieve this honor. The 33-year-old forward is not intimidated by taking over for a fan favorite on one of New York's most beloved sports teams, confidently stating his ability to contribute both offensively and in the locker room.
