For fans of a certain age, this truly means everything.

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!

Patrick Ewing has known Jalen Brunson since Jalen was 2 years old and used to take him on family vacations. Last night, the Knicks legend got to hand Jalen the ECF MVP trophy.

39 years ago today, #Isles Legend Mike Bossy played the final game of his NHL career.

It feels almost impossible to process how short his career was compared to the legacy he left behind.

752 games.
573 goals.
1,126 points.
4 Stanley Cups

The greatest pure goal scorer the game has ever seen.
