I was here for the 94 and 99 Finals, the Larry Johnson 4-point play, a ton of other huge Knicks moments. Tonight’s historic comeback is the greatest thing I’ve ever witnessed in Madison Square Garden.
The Knicks wiping out a 22-point deficit in the fourth quarter against the Cavaliers in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals turned out to be a warmup act for what might be the most memorable win in franchise history and the biggest comeback in NBA Finals history.
#Eagles QB Jalen Hurts addressed the A.J. Brown trade, the ESPN story from April about him, his contract and other topics today:
On the A.J. Brown trade and Brown saying they weren’t as close, but that he wishes him all the best:
“I’m not in the place to challenge anyone’s perspective on anything, seemingly so, it was. That’s where I am. I’ve always been focused on the collective. I’ve always put my energy towards that. As a leader, I’ve always put an onus on giving maximum effort to achieve the shared mission we have on the team.”
Any disappointment with how it ended for A.J. with the Eagles:
“You come into it and you have a sense of pride with how it began, and definitely what we were able to accomplish. … Nothing can take that away. For the great things that we did, now it’s time to focus on achieving great things with this iteration of the team.”
On the ESPN story that characterized Hurts as being resistant to change, among other things:
“I’ve never really asked for an opportunity to respond to anything. So just let it live and go do my job.”:
On if he asked for the “four verticals” last play of the season, as reported in the ESPN story:
“Nah. No.”
On his being resistant to change:
“I’m always open to growth. I’m always open to improving. I think a lot of it is what do we put our time on task? What are we exhausting? What are we repping. And so, I’m looking forward to seeing how training camp goes so we can just continue to build on the foundation that we’re beginning to lay down.”
On his contract and if there is a restructure coming:
“For me, I’m truly focused on being the best I can be right now. That’s where my energy is. There’s a lot of change as is. I’m focused on this offense. I’m focused on building with Sean [Mannion] and being my best.”
96 days until week 1 so we will start with a play from one of the most fun games in Eagles history, the 44-6 beatdown vs Dallas in 2008.
Brian Dawkins forced his 2nd fumble of the half, this one taken back 96 yards to the house by Joselio Hanson to ignite the crowd even more.
The Count Down rolls on 🦅⏳
President Of Basketball Operations Mike Gansey When Asked About Joel Embiid’s Future With The 76ers On @975Middays:
"Joel [Embiid] is ours right now. I have had great conversations with him... We just have to get Joel on the court. He is still a dominant force. He can get 25 in his sleep... He wants to play, wants to be on the court. That is on me, on our whole staff, to get him to his best self."

The Phillies have the best record in baseball at 24-10 since Don Mattingly took over as manager, after the Milwaukee Brewers lost tonight. And now the Phillies have the best starting staff ERA in the majors since Don Mattingly took over, at 2.79, over that span.
After everything that came to light, it’s hard not to view the 2024 #Eagles as one of the greatest teams ever assembled
To deal with locker room issues, still go 14-3, and then dominate their way through the playoffs says everything about how special that group was #FlyEaglesFly
