Four hours.
The New York Knicks are playing in the NBA Finals.
I saved the best pre-Finals piece for last.
Jalen Brunson. Three years. One city. All leading up to one defining moment.
This one's for the believers. ๐๐งก๐

Brian Windhorst says we are entering the Wemby era:
โShaq, third year, got the Magic to the finals... LeBron, in his fourth year, gets to the finals... Victor Wembanyama, third year, age 22, I feel the same way.โ

Iโve been holding onto this secret since Marchโฆ..
Every year since 2004, my pops and I travel to San Antonio for the Texas high school basketball championships.
It takes place at the Alamodome, where the Knicks lost Games 1 and 2 in the 1999 Finals, and ultimately, the series.
I was there covering the high school state tournament as media, so I had VIP access to the entire stadium.
I walked the locker rooms, back rooms and most important, the entire arena, with sage to cleanse the failures of 1999 for what I predicted then, would be a Spurs/Knicks rematch in this seasonโs Finals.
Have no fear, Beloved. We are cleansed. Letโs get this chip.
The Finals start tonight, beloved.
Christopher Nolan's Odyssey opens July 17.
I wrote about how the Odyssey and the Knicks are the same story. And what it would mean for the Knicks to end their 53-year exile.
Think about it: Madison Square Garden is Ithaca. Jalen Brunson is Odysseus. The villainous suitors were Isiah Thomas, Phil Jackson, Scott Layden, and even James Dolan.
Tonight, the wandering ends.
