the death of a parent is one of the most sobering things you can experience and i felt this so deeply. i feel like i’m constantly looking for signs that my dad is listening or guiding my steps, and i take every single one i can get. he playing for something different.
The Knicks sweep these boys, and you have to put them in the conversation of one of the greatest teams ever assembled. Nobody wins fifteen playoff games straight for the Larry. Conversations will be uncomfortable
Landry Shamet responds to the Knicks now having 13 straight playoff wins:
"We got Game 3 in Madison Square Garden, that's what we're worried about. All those other games are in the past"
With Mikal Bridges as the primary defender in these NBA Finals,
Stephon Castle, De'Aaron Fox, and Devin Vassell are a combined 2-of-15 from the field (13.3%) with more turnovers (5) than assists (4) when guarded by Bridges.
The soul of the 70s Knicks
Won it all twice
Best Game 7 ever
The heart of the 90s Knicks
Couldn't win it all
Worst Game 7 ever
Both traded
Past their primes
Team moved on
Both came back
Decades of darkness
Never left
Both literally bleed orange & blue
This is for them
If you hate KAT, I suggest you reconsider...
"I feel like other than losing a child there's nothing worse you could go through and it builds you up and it strengthens you beyond measure. That's why I got Philippians 4:13 and the date tattooed on my neck. I could do all things through Christ who strengthens me but I was strengthened on April 13 when I lost my mother. That's been my favorite Bible verse my whole entire life since I was little. I didn't know the significance it would have in my life when I became an adult. But what I do know is that I truly can do anything when I walk in faith, when I walk with the angels beside me. I feel anything's possible, I feel nothing's impossible...
I'm just grateful to be in this position because I know a lot of friends in mind that are not here to see this moment. I know a lot of people I love tremendously that aren't here to give me that hug or to give me that text message. I'm doing this for them. I do this for them, I do it for my mother's country, I do it for everybody in Dominican Republic, I do it for everyone in the city that welcomed my mother when she immigrated over. I do it for all my family in New Jersey that allowed me to be raised and allowed me to love this game of basketball and allowed me to be a kid with my mother and enjoy those times. It takes a tribe to get here and it takes a village and I'm so blessed that I've had the village I've had in my life to get to this point"
things Carter Bryant has been compared to on this app so far:
- a "medium rare sugar cookie"
- Ducky from the Land Before Time
- the "human embodiment of a dumpling"
- Biggie Littles from NBA Street
- 'Lamb Chops' with cornrows
- a "6 year old who made a wish to get "bigged like Tom Hanks in the movie, Big"
- an unreleased Muppet that will be the cousin of Abby Kadabby
- the bottom of a stingray
Honestly... that was great analysis from Barkley... Wemby probably never experienced this. He's lost before but I don't think he's been outplayed head to head to this degree before
Almost exactly 1 year ago they were (wrongfully) scapegoating Towns for the Knicks losing in the ECF.
Now they're just GOATing him in the Finals.
What a redemption arc for Karl-Anthony Towns.
