Tim Howard wants to help the Knicks with their defense

Does Carmelo Anthony need some supporting cast in New York? How does a World Cup star sound?

Well, Team USA goalkeeper Tim Howard offered up his services on Twitter on Thursday as a "Throwback Thursday" post.

The photo comes via a Sky Sports promotion from 2013, when the Knicks played the Pistons in London.

With how good Howard is at blocking shots in soccer, maybe he's the next coming of Dikembe Mutombo. What do you think, could Howard hold his own on the hardwood?
