@AlexAndBooks_ Absolutely beautiful description of the broad and nourishing adventure that a true reader takes. The joys of discovering new ideas and worlds abound!

[Josh Chambers @JoshChambers]

Mike Brown has been to seven NBA Finals with four different organizations.

He’s coached LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Steph Curry, Tim Duncan, Kevin Durant, and Jalen Brunson.

When asked what all championship teams have in common, his answer had nothing to do with those nuclear talents.

“The commonality they all had is they all sacrificed for one another.

They were all connected.

They all had a competitive spirit.

And there was a high level of belief... Not just in the process, but in each other.”

He was able to boil down years of success in different places to 4 common traits:

🩸 Sacrifice
🎮 Connectivity
⚠️ Ownership
✝️ Belief

Championship teams don't win solely because they have the best player.

They create a championship environment from ownership starting with the best player all the way to the last player on the bench.

The entire organization is willing to surrender something for something bigger than themselves.

You need good players, yes...

But talent only determines your ceiling.

Sacrifice determines your capacity to reach it.

Congratulations to all of the @nyknicks players on winning an NBA World Championship! A special shoutout to the Knicks starting five: Finals MVP Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns, OG Anunoby, Mikal Bridges, and Josh Hart 👏🏾 Btw, Josh is one of the players I drafted in the first round when I was President of the Lakers, and he's one of my favorite players because of how he impacts winning without having to score a point!

reliving history

[Earvin Magic Johnson @MagicJohnson]

We just watched the Knicks make the greatest comeback in NBA Finals history! The first and second half were two completely different stories - the Spurs dominated in the first half and Knicks stormed back in the second. Jalen Brunson put the team on his back with his 36-point performance, but OG Anunoby was the true hero tonight, finishing with 33 points AND the game-winning tip in!

De’Aaron Fox made a huge mistake when he got the ball with seconds left in the fourth and decided to go for a layup instead of dribbling the ball out to be fouled. I think the Spurs have another win in them and the Series will stretch out to 6 or 7 games, but I still see the Knicks winning it all.

[NBA @NBA]

THE TIP-IN.

THE REACTIONS.

WHAT A MOMENT AT MSG.

OG Anunoby's putback completed the largest comeback in NBA Finals history last night! 🤯

[NBA on Prime @NBAonPrime]

Jalen Brunson channels his inner Kobe after Game 4. He knows it's not over until it's over 😤

[NBA @NBA]

AN ALL-TIME ANGLE OF AN ALL-TIME MOMENT.

OG Anunoby’s unreal putback gave the Knicks a 3-1 series lead!

[NBA @NBA]

THE FULL ENDING OF GAME 4.

UNCUT. 🍿🍿🍿🍿

[Shea Serrano @SheaSerrano]

the worst thing you can do against the knicks is be up by 20 in the fourth

it’s a death sentence

[Bill Simmons @BillSimmons]

This is incredible basketball from the Knicks — just a great watch. They’re not getting any calls and it hasn’t even mattered. I’m really impressed.

[NEW YORK KNICKS @nyknicks]

picture perfect.

[Earvin Magic Johnson @MagicJohnson]

I want to congratulate New York Knicks Head Coach Mike Brown, superstar Jalen Brunson, star Karl Anthony Towns, and the entire Knicks organization for advancing to the NBA Finals after sweeping the Cleveland Cavaliers!

[Earvin Magic Johnson @MagicJohnson]

The New York Knicks beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 121-108 and go up 3-0 in the Series. I was disappointed in the Cavaliers effort and body language tonight. There’s no way you’re at home, down 2-0 to the Knicks, and come out with a lack of effort and urgency.

The Knicks are on their way to the NBA Finals playing their best basketball, which is going to be trouble for the Oklahoma City Thunder or the San Antonio Spurs!

[Ian O'Connor @Ian_OConnor]

Jeff Van Gundy to @TheAthletic -"To me, the Knicks are the favorite now to win it all ...This is the greatest playoff run in Knicks history. They still have to win it, but there's never been a Knicks team this dominant. They are just waylaying people."
