Villanova did not win the national title in 2006, but that team was arguably the most impactful.
For 2006 Week at @basket_review, I looked back at how its four-guard lineup changed the sport and laid the foundation for the 2016 & 2018 title teams: https://t.co/e5giMsPB7c
What a path for Collin Gillespie.
The Villanova stand-out is signing a four-year, $48 million contract with the Phoenix Suns.
He went undrafted and spent years in the G League.
“It really starts with Leon [Rose], I’m so impressed with his vision to put this together.”

Jay Wright to @nypostsports on Jalen Brunson’s stunning ascension, how he deals with doubters and more: https://t.co/Gl89SorGWa #knicks#novanation
In a world hellbent on celebrating individualism – selfies and influencers and likes and followers – New York won as a collective. They subsumed their personal quests for greatness in exchange for something bigger than themselves https://t.co/auOVtxQ8jD
From @TheAthletic: The Knicks accomplished so much that they don’t merely deserve to go down as the finest Knicks team ever, our columnist writes. "They deserve to go down as the greatest team in the history of New York sports."

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.
This has to be a proud moment for Jay Wright. Mentored three-fifths of the lineup that ended the Knicks’ 53-year title drought. A final feather in the cap of a legendary career.
