Imagine telling someone in a 5-year coma:
- The Knicks won an NBA Championship
- LeBron James is a free agent
- Jaylen Brown is in Philly
- Kawhi is back in Toronto
- The Wizards are good
- Ja Morant is in Portland
- Giannis is in Miami
It is unbelievable to me that this wasn’t a red card + penalty kick
Balogun was completely obstructed here and still hit the crossbar
He earned two PKs that weren’t called
This didn’t get VAR but an irrelevant midfield tangle led to a red card
Unreal
Per FIFA rules:
A yellow card is awarded for a reckless challenge on an opponent such as tripping, tackling, grabbing, or interfering during play
A red card is given for a serious or dangerous foul that goes beyond what a yellow card would be merited for. -violent conduct (punching, kicking, biting, headbutting, etc.) or spitting on an opponent
What Faloran Balogun did was NOT so egregious that it should be straight to red. I’ll stand ten toes down on that. #usmnt
"It was a terrible call. ... You have to feel for [Folarin] Balogun. He's an important player, and now he misses the next game. It's a shame."

Balogun was in on goal. He beat the defender and was about to score.
No red card. No penalty. No yellow card. No foul. No review.
The bizarre thing is that Fox Sports showed a replay that began just AFTER the defender let go of the arm. So weird. How could the officials miss this? And how could the TV crew miss it as well? @USMNT
We broke an 80 year old (All-Time) NBA Postseason Record for the biggest Point-Differential within All-Time NBA Playoffs History.
+283
We not only broke the 2017 Golden State Warriors record of +230 (who featured Steph/KD/Klay/Draymond) but we shattered it by 53.
Never forget.
2026 KNICKS ARE THE MOST DOMINANT TEAM IN HISTORY!!
These unprecedented achievements melted the brains of the narrative cults, clickbaiters & rival fanbases.

In a league of killers, Jalen Brunson is one of the best winners of his generation. He won two chips at Villanova in three years, and he's made the New York Knicks into NBA champions. At 6-foot-1-ish. He's a great, GREAT basketball player.
