OG. MJ.
OG Anunoby joins Michael Jordan (Game 6, 1998 Finals) as the only players in the play-by-play era (since 1997-98) with a steal or block and game-winner in the final 30 seconds of an NBA Finals game π₯
New York completed the largest comeback in Finals history (29 points in Game 4) to take a 3-1 series lead.
Jalen Brunson can show up and help fuel one of the biggest comebacks in all of NBA history, but he missed shots in the 1st quarter with 6:35 on the clock so it doesnβt matter
@KnicksMemes It sucks but for all the fans who had to watch Kyle OβQuinn post ups, Allonzo Trier isos and Lance Thomas 40 min games, this feels like heaven no matter whoβs on our bandwagon
@_the6thman Weβve been leaving shooters open all night. The spurs guards have been pressing 94 feet all night and our 2 best defenders have been playing off all damn night. Itβs mind numbing
The spirit, energy and vitality of NYC has developed into a main character during the Knicks' storybook run.
Fans have brought it to every road game. Atlanta, then Philadelphia and Cleveland, and finally to San Antonio.
Yet, the area in/around MSG has been the visceral epicenter of that enthusiasm, the primary power source, the beating heart of this magical playoff run.
Which is why it's so frustrating that, on the night die-hard Knicks fans have waited decades for, that space will be locked down and stripped of the very energy that made it special in the first place⦠all to accommodate one man.
