Still can't get over the fact that the son of a Knick who lost out on a ring to the Spurs in 1999, avenged his father 27 years later for the same franchise, AGAINST the same franchise and then celebrated the championship parade with half of the 1999 locker room.
Magic.
Mayor Mamdani at the Knicks Ceremony: “We as the city are often forced to come together in the moments in tragedy, what a blessing it is to come together in a moment of joy.”
Made me cry, because it’s true.
(Guys its not about Wemby shaking hands.
Its him refusing to show any respect to the opponent all series, flagrantly fouling them -maybe even trying to injure them- talking shit, choking, losing and THEN not shaking hands.)
The New York Knicks went 16-3 in the postseason.
Their losses were by a combined 6 points.
Their wins were by a combined 289 points.
One of the great playoff runs you will ever see in any sport. Truly unbelievable, man.
Wide awake thinking about how Jalen Brunson leading the Knicks to a world championship is genuinely one of the best stories in basketball history. I hope people understand and appreciate that. It’s as pure as sports gets.
Jalen Brunson is now the first player in NBA history to win Finals MVP, Conference Finals MVP, and NBA Cup MVP.
In just one season, he became a Knicks legend.
Josh Hart:
"Everybody wants to be the guy that scores the most, that puts the ball in the basket and that's not everybody's path. That wasn't my path and sometimes that's a tough pill to swallow but when you embrace that when you're a star in your role and you take pride in doing the little things that breeds winning basketball. For me as embraced as I was in this city wearing this jersey that sacrifice was easy. Some days it was tough don't get me wrong but you sacrifice for moments like this"
