Awesome story of Landry getting a four-year deal after two nonguaranteed contracts and two dislocated shoulders.
Happy ending and was fun documenting it.
The Knicks are an example of smart, courageous team building. Firing Thibs for Mike Brown was a ballsy decision by the Knicks. One of many that got them to this point. RJ & Quickley for OG, trading a 1st for Hart, signing Brunson to a big deal, the Randle for KAT deal, sending a ton of picks for Bridges, and moves around the edges like adding Shamet and Alvarado. Some teams are built through the draft. The Knicks were built through masterful trades and signings. Big time credit to Leon Rose and that New York front office.
Iman Shumpert (who hasn’t played for the Knicks in 11 years and won an NBA title with a different team) partying in the streets in his own Knicks jersey.
Only in New York.
I was here for the 94 and 99 Finals, the Larry Johnson 4-point play, a ton of other huge Knicks moments. Tonight’s historic comeback is the greatest thing I’ve ever witnessed in Madison Square Garden.
For years, New Yorkers have dreamed about nights like this.
We’ve accommodated thousands of protesters, countless demonstrations, and major events throughout the city. Yet somehow Knicks fans can’t gather to celebrate one of the biggest moments in franchise history?
I trust the Police Commissioner and the men and women of the NYPD to handle the crowds and keep people safe.
Don’t fence off a moment generations of New Yorkers have been waiting for. 🏀
Go Knicks!
