Congratulations to the Nova Knicks—Jalen Brunson ’18 CLAS, Mikal Bridges ’18 CLAS and Josh Hart ’17 CLAS—for helping lead the New York Knicks to the 2026 NBA Championship. It was the Knicks’ first NBA title in 53 years.

The #Knicks are NBA champions for the first time in 53 years, meaning the #Jets lose their closest “friend” on the NY misery index.

Years without a title:

Jets: 57 years
Nets: 50 years (ABA title)
Islanders: 43 years
Mets: 40 years
Rangers: 32 years
Yankees: 17 years
Giants: 14 years

Maybe one of these days …

THE GREATEST COMEBACK IN NBA PLAYOFF HISTORY.

“I’m just like the loudest fan.” 🎶

Tucked at the top of Madison Square Garden… Knicks organist Ray Castoldi has been providing the live arena soundtrack at @nyknicks home games since 1989. And now, for the third time, he gets to do so for the NBA Finals.

[The Sting @TheStingisBack]

Two great character actors going head to head and creating pure gold.
Richard Jordan and Joss Ackland only share three short scenes in The Hunt for Red October (1990), but every glance, pause, and polite line lands like a move in a ruthless chess match. Absolute perfection.

Every year, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.

They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.

France also gave us this land as American soil. #MemorialDayWeekend

@BDHerzinger @SamuelFByers Does any other field utilize the word “utilize” (or utilise for our Commonwealth friends)?

[U.S. Naval Institute @NavalInstitute]

It's National Winston Churchill Day to commemorate when the British Prime Minister became an honorary U.S. citizen. USS Winston S. Churchill (DDG-81) flies the Royal Navy White Ensign on special occasions and always has a Royal Navy officer as a member of the ship's company.

@BDHerzinger They need to learn to “cherish” the Strait

[Emir Han @RealEmirHan]

The most underrated James Bond ever, Timothy Dalton was born on this day.

He says his Bond was different.

“Bond movies had become rather spoof-like. It was one-liners and raised eyebrows and it had become, let’s say, too lighthearted.”
