Erik Spoelstra tried to warn everyone:
“What you have to respect about the Knicks, you have to put them away every single possession. You can leave anything to effin’ chance…that’s what they do, what they have is will to win.”
In the Tracking Era, there have been 568 players with 500+ touches in a single playoff run. No one has produced more points per direct touch than OG Anunoby in 2026
2024: Mike Brown on braindead Fox play: "If you're up 3, you gotta guard your man at the 3. I need to go back and watch Fox. Should NOT be in position to help. Should be hugged up to your man. 100% told guys, can't give up a 3. Stay connected. I even drew an example."
(Brown was fired the next day)

Grew up in Brooklyn and Queens. Likely powered by butter rolls. Christ the King High School. Georgia Tech. Undrafted. Deemed undersized. Slayer of giants.
Carmelo Anthony:

Facing the largest halftime lead by a road team in non-bubble NBA Finals history, and a dead silent Madison Square Garden, this declaration is when the comeback started.
New York native Jose Alvarado:
"I'm not gon' sugar coat this, I was about to cry. Obviously, there's one more. But I'm in Madison Square Garden, in the fourth quarter, playing for something special ... It was really something I couldn't put in words."
