The New York Knicks went 16-3 in the postseason.
Their losses were by a combined 6 points.
Their wins were by a combined 289 points.
One of the great playoff runs you will ever see in any sport. Truly unbelievable, man.
It’s funny. Every team analytically beat the Knicks, yet analytically the Knicks just completed the most dominant run to a title in NBA history. Make it make sense.
Jalen Brunson taking the pay cut to come to New York, getting his friends on the team and actually winning the Championship. One of the most gangster stories in NBA history
Jalen Brunson: took a $113 million pay cut to stay with the Knicks and give the team a real chance to win.
Aaron Judge: could’ve made more money elsewhere but chose to stay loyal to the Yankees.
Juan Soto: squeezed every possible dollar out of free agency — money he arguably isn’t worth — and reportedly made his decision over perks like a family suite at Citi Field.
I’ve got nothing but respect for the first two. The last one made a deal with the devil, and players who chase only the bag rarely end up winning in the end.
