Came back. New account. Only here to join in the celebration of the "Michael" movie being release and a little after release day.
Big 3: MJ, Prince, Stevie
ABC and ESPN scored the most-watched NBA Finals since 1998, according to Nielsen Big Data + Panel. Saturday’s NBA Finals Game 5 on ABC delivered an average audience of 24.5M viewers and peaked with 33M viewers watching the closing moments of the Knicks Championship victory. It was the most-watched NBA Finals Game 5 since 1998 as well.
Close out game Knicks different. Tonight is the night. Celebrate on their floor, under Becky Hammond’s jersey. Let them speed walk back to their locker room to discuss how they won the chip analytically 😭😭
Man….
The day I came home and saw Das Efx’s “They Want Efx” Video on Rap City….was the end of dancing and New Jack Swing as we knew it in high school. Hip-Hop was “Dead Serious”….after that….lol
Charlamagne tha God: “Donald Trump wasn’t responsible for the loss of the game, but he was responsible for the loss of joy the Knicks fans had been feeling. Donald Trump came here yesterday and sucked the joy out of the city”
First, the loyal fans who supported the Knicks for decades when the team sucked (emptying thier wallets for tickets, shirts, jerseys) get priced out of the building when New York finally reaches the Finals (by insanely wealthy patrons willing/capable of casually blowing $20k on a pair of tickets to a basketball game, many of them having just hopped on the bandwagon or purchased tix to Game 3 solely b/c MSG is “the place to be” this week).
Then those same loyal, working-class fans get a second middle finger from ownership. Due to Dolan's desire to host Trump, thousands of diehard Knicks fans are denied the chance to gather outside the Garden, watch the game on a big screen, and share a once-in-a-lifetime moment with the community that helped keep this franchise alive when nobody else cared.
Access is reserved for the powerful, rich and/or connected, not the fans who stuck with this team through 20+ years of misery.
