TWO TROPHIES. ONE HISTORIC SEASON. ππ
The New York Knicks are the FIRST team in NBA history to win the Emirates NBA Cup and an NBA Championship in the same season!
Jalen Brunson on winning an NBA title with his Nova guys:
"Wouldn't trade it for the world"
Is he already hungry for another title:
"After the parade yeah. I think I've done a decent job of being able to not look ahead, not look past anything, staying in the moment. I'm gonna try to enjoy this for a little bit and then once it's time to get back to work, it's back to work"

The Nova Knicks trio are Champions once again. Jalen Brunson, Mikal Bridges, and Josh Hart have winning imbedded in their DNA π§¬
The Nova Knicks Championship was SPECIAL but someone was missing π’π«£
Donte Divincenzo went for 31 PTS | 5 REB | 3 BLK to secure @NovaMBB their 3rd National Championship in program history π€
Obviously, Knicks fans would love another championship with this group. Failing that, I think there are two βtie a bow on itβ things New York still wants out of this era for the Knicks:
1. Getting OG Anunoby into an All-Star game.
2. Beating Indiana in a playoff series.
Jalen Brunsonβs introductory press conference with the Knicks:
"Everywhere I've gone since high school, it's always been 'Jalen Brunson's good, but...' Always that 'but' like they're going to say something negative. Too slow, not athletic enough, too small, all those things that don't measure heart. That's what I have."
