As likeable as the Knicks players are, this guy is exactly the opposite.

[Ben Yoel @Ben_Yoel]

I’m going to cry non-stop for days when the Mets finally do this.

[Howie Rose @HowieRose]

Thanks to the Knicks, I watched more NBA in the past 30 days than I have the last 30 years, and you know what? They remind me more of the 1969 Mets than any New York champion since.
What a likeable group of men. Congratulations. Savor every morsel. It’s forever!

[Rick Pitino @RealPitino]

That Grit & Fight is what Champions are made of. Let's Go Knicks! Awesome job players and coaches!

[Jose Reyes @lamelaza_7]

Hey @OG_Anunoby,

Happy for your success. Proud that you’re a Mets fan.

The Mets and I would love to invite you to Citi Field to throw out a ceremonial first pitch.

All the best,

Jose Reyes ⚾️🗽

The Knicks can really use a guy named Zuby Ejiofor on this roster. Just saying. #sjubb

[Ben Yoel @Ben_Yoel]

Brandon Nimmo really is one of the best human beings in the game.

[Howie Rose @HowieRose]

I don’t know where this Mets season is going, but I’m sure glad it’s going there with Benge and Ewing.

[Tommy Lugauer @tommylugauer]

Don’t look now, but the Mets are 7-3 in their last 10 & 4 games over 500 since May 1st.

Keep playing winning baseball.

Keep chipping away.

[Tommy Lugauer @tommylugauer]

Good win for the Mets.

They are 5-2 in their last 7.

Now go take care of business in San Diego.

Thank you to the producers of #ESPNSqueezePlay

[Tounde Yessoufou @ToundeYessoufou]

First and foremost, I want to thank God for always giving me the strength, courage, and faith to persevere through every challenge and moment of adversity. I also want to thank my family for standing by my side through thick and thin, especially throughout this process and this important decision.

I usually don’t speak publicly about things like this, but I feel it’s important to address a few things. Ever since I was a kid, my dream has always been to play in the NBA, and that dream has never changed. At the same time, I’ve always believed in myself and have always been self-aware enough to understand what I need to do to put myself in the best position to succeed.

I’ve seen and heard the rumors and speculation surrounding my decision. The truth is, none of that affects me. My entire life, I’ve been criticized, doubted, and questioned, and I’ve learned to stay focused on what matters.

I want to make one thing very clear: my decision to attend St. John’s has nothing to do with money. My decision was based on basketball, development, and winning.

I love what Coach Rick Pitino has built at St. John’s. His experience, leadership, and résumé speak for themselves, but what stood out most to me was the belief he has in his players, his relentless work ethic, and his ability to help good players become great players while also helping them grow as men.

At every level I’ve played, my goal has always been to compete for championships. I made this decision based on where I believe I can best develop as a player, grow as a leader, and put myself in the strongest position to achieve my ultimate goals.

This was a basketball decision. This was a development decision. This was a winning decision.

That’s the truth.

[Jaden Daly @DalyDoseOfHoops]

This also goes to show anyone still down on St. John’s for its portal movement that Pitino will not run anyone else’s race but his own. It’s always going to be a process that fans need to trust even though the natural instinct is to get restless.

Doubt Rick at your own risk.

[Johnny Thunderbird @newyorkgrooovee]

Tweeted this literally just 2 hours prior to the Yessoufou to St. John’s news dropping.

It’s rare to have a self made billionaire alumni. It’s even more rare to have a billionaire alumni who wants to see their school’s basketball team win as badly as the fans do.

Thank you, @RepoleStable. 🙏🏼❤️🗽

"Rick Pitino told Tounde Yessoufou: 'We want you, but no games. Here's our offer. But you take it now, or we move on.'

That's what elite recruiting looks like. That's what a Hall of Famer does."

[John Fanta @John_Fanta]

Tounde Yessoufou was in the mix to be a late first rounder. That’s a major overnight development for Rick Pitino and St. John’s to land the 6-5 guard. His athleticism & physicality fits the Red Storm’s style to a tee. Averaged 18 PPG/6 RPG/2 SPG as a freshman.

A splash for SJU.

[Lauren @CalmYourMitts]

I’m still going to Mets games because:
1) I’m a sucker
2) I didn’t wait all winter not to go
3) Cheap tickets
4) Going to baseball games >>>>> not going to baseball games
5) I just don’t know how to quit them (and I never will)

[Rick Pitino @RealPitino]

In 1989, I thought we had a chance to win the NBA championship after going 4-0 vs the Bad Boys. MJ put an end to that dream. Then in 1999 the Knicks caught lightning in a bottle but lost to the Spurs. I was a Jr at UMass when the last championship was won. This team gets it done. It's time. Deep & talented group with a great attitude. The Moët is on ice. Go NY, Go NY, Go!
