The Knicks' assistant coaches did not receive their championship rings during Tuesday's ceremony, despite being handed ring boxes, according to league sources.

Before Lane Johnson was an Eagles All-Pro, he was a "pretty boy" quarterback at a junior college in Texas.
Entering his senior year of HS, his coach said he weighed "maybe" 180 lbs.
