FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 53 YEARS, THE KNICKS ARE NBA CHAMPIONS 🏆 New York defeats San Antonio 4-1 in the NBA Finals, capturing their third championship in franchise history!

now that we know they can change calls in 5 seconds from the booth, all of this is totally inexcusable

Pass Interference is still the most ridiculous penalty in football. Referees are TERRIBLE at making the call in real time, but they threw a year-long hissy fit when the league tried to make it reviewable.

I was about to write something defending Belichick's legacy and then I saw he had *only two playoff appearances* in 11 NFL seasons when anyone other than Tom Brady was his QB. Obviously he's good, but is he really better than Andy Reid? Those two guys are on the same level for me.

You will like Jalen Green so much after you read this.

This article by Jalen Green is worth your time. "Some guys, they get traded and call up their 1 or 2 dudes on the team and that’s a wrap. Me, I was calling the whole roster. Started calling in the morning + it was dinner time before I said my last goodbye." www.theplayerstribune.com/jalen-green-...

great job!

Knicks can start: Brunson, Bridges, OG, KAT and Mitch Rob Off the bench: Hart, Clarkson, Deuce, Yabusele, Kolek, Hukporti and Dadiet That's an excellent, deep team.

Haliburton has now made five or fewer field goals in 7 games this playoffs. He's made 10 shots only 4 times. For context, Shai has made 10 shots 16 times. Never seen anyone get credit for others' good play like Haliburton.

Stop telling me Haliburton doesn’t have subpar games. I don’t care if he has another buzzer beater, there’s no reason why he should only have FIVE points in the 4th!!!

With 10:05 to go in the fourth quarter, Jalen Brunson picked up his fifth foul and exited the game. In the two and a half minutes that followed, the Knicks have gone on a 14-0 run.

“Whenever I’m at the house I see the finals jersey hanging up on the wall,” Brunson said. “And it’s pretty cool to see.”

Jalen Brunson is making less than $25 million this season. Players making more than Brunson this season include: Nic Claxton Tobias Harris Jonathan Isaac Devin Vassell Jordan Poole Jerami Grant Immanuel Quickley RJ Barrett

Off the charts enjoyment level all game. Still screaming and cheering every play at that end while Knicks are up by 40. Will not be this happy when he wins an Oscar.

Timothee Chalamet is a big fan of the challenge while up by 37 points decision

Jalen Brunson committed 0.059 fouls per minute in the regular season. Last night, he committed 5 fouls in 8:26 in the 3rd quarter. The first 3 fouls were called within 3 minutes after the Knicks took the lead. Reminder that if the Knicks won, the NBA would have no games on Friday.

One more and I'm done (maybe): if the NBA plays with fire here and the Knicks somehow lose bc of shady officiating as they try to extend the series, I'm out on the NBA. I will forgive this one instance bc I get the business part, but that's it

I gotta say, this was gross tonight. I get it -- you lose millions without a game 6 if you're the NBA, and every series has been too short so far this round. But this was just too much. Shades of Draymond being suspended for Game 5 back in 2016. Hopefully this goes better for the Knicks.

Btw on one of the fouls Derrick White elbowed him in the face

Rob@robpergament.bsky.social

I can't believe a league that rigged the lottery also called five fouls on Brunson in one quarter. Truly shocking.

The Knicks put together 21 minutes of perfection, and now they’re on the cusp of ending a 25-year drought. This wasn’t fluky. This wasn’t a collapse. This was New York basketball at the best we’ve seen it, at the most important time to date: www.nytimes.com/athletic/635...

nytimes.comThe Knicks are one win away from ending a 25-year drought. Here’s how it happenedNew York has the defending champs on the ropes. Now, the Knicks need to finish the job.

You may be surprised to hear it but Knicks fans are not tame leaving the arena. One dude is screaming into the stairwell hallway at MSG, “We sucked for 20 f——— years but we don’t suck anymore!” as others chant Knicks in five.
