James Dolan invited his friend Donald Trump to watch Game 3. In order to do that, they have to ban the organic, historically joyous parties happening outside MSG for fans who can't afford to be inside. Modern sports in a nutshell
Michelle Obama has spoken fairly regularly about how the Obama’s would miss out on opportunities so they would not inconvenience the public because they were in the White House to serve others.
This the quintessential story of how sports reflects the state of the world. Thousands of fans have waited for Game 3 their whole lives and now they’re priced out of entering the game and can’t even celebrate outside because one billionaire gets to attend the game for free.
City vibes are hard to explain right now. There’s a guy smoking a cigar and holding a broom and everyone is shaking his hand as if he’s an essential worker during the pandemic.
I still can't believe the Knicks won a Finals game on the road in which they only shot 5 free throws in the second half and they had to use a challenge just to get 3 of them.

This is how serious NY is taking this Finals. Elmo had to retract his statement cause the city was like you a New Yorker this ain't the time for neutral shit

Now it’s 5-87.
