@CMGTheDuelist Stop making excuses and reasons for the Spurs. Knicks won cause they were better than the teams they faced period.
Hardly any of the “experts” talked about Spurs youth until AFTER they lost. Spurs were favored and were 62-20. They were in the finals. There’s no * to this title.

That narrative is annoying. NOOOOOWWW after the Knicks gentleman swept them, you say “It’s youth and inexperience of the Spurs.” That’s not giving credit to the Knicks. Don’t say, credit to the Knicks, but… BS
So why did you pick the Spurs?!?!

I’m loving this. Knicks broke the drought in the social media era. There’s going to be infinite angles. So many stories. I’m here for it! #knicks2026champs

Good lord this edit. Insane.

I don’t like this narrative that the Knicks were in the dark ages for decades until winning the championship. There’s been good times and struggles, we just never got the chip. The Melo era was special, Linsanity, Marbury gave us memories, Houston, Spree, Ewing era, King. No chip

It’s crazy I have met and made more Philippine friends here in Japan than anywhere else. The nicest most loving people! It’s pretty cool that we have such a multicultural Knick team. 👍

@BenStiller And this... @nyknicks Coach Mike Brown addressing NYC crowd & net worldwide with a big shoutout to Filipino-American @JordanClarksons being patient and all made me cry man! 😭 "Filipino pasensya" is unmatched! Congrats JC! We Filipino Proud!🇵🇭

Love it!!! Even from the bench they were helping their team.

One of the most underrated moments of Game 5: Ariel Hukporti, Jeremy Sochan, and Pacome Dadiet tell the Knicks road crowd to make some noise on Wemby’s free throws… Wemby missed the free throw. Whole squad was locked in and ready.

That's what's probably going to happen and no I don't care what Jim Dolan said about the 2nd apron because he does not have any idea what he's talking about when it comes to the salary cap and CBA. Just sign the checks.

The Knicks could keep their core together for the next 3-5 years IF Karl-Anthony Towns and Josh Hart are willing to take a pay cut, per @WindhorstESPN KAT is eligible for a 4-year, $272M extension. "If Karl Towns is willing to take a little bit of a haircut, you know, $7-10 million over the course of multiple seasons and Josh Hart is also extension eligible this summer, if both of them are willing to take a little bit of a haircut, you could see this core staying together for three, four, five years."

I met that side of me that was full of doubts and trauma, and pessimism, and I decided to let that mofo go! I rode the wave living in the moment and appreciating this team.

Who did you meet from Knicks Twitter during this Knicks playoff run?
English
Yup! He saw what a lot of us saw. Spurs crying tears of joy because they eliminated OKC in WCF.
Knicks won the ECF, and was like, “We’re not content with just being in the Finals, we still have a job to do.”
TOTAL OPPOSITE OF PARTICIPATION TROPHY BEHAVIOR! #nba @nyknicks

Josh Hart admits that when the Knicks saw the Spurs emotional and crying after winning the Western Conference Finals they knew they were food (Via @Roommates__Show, h/t @Kazeem)

Facts. Offense always gets talked about but the defense of this team went to a new dimension that nobody thought they could hit…
Many including myself said if only they hit 7th ranked defensively. Knicks was by some metrics 1!!! KAT and Brunson weren’t such vulnerabilities.
Jay Full@isojay914
It’s acknowledged in traditional hoop talk that great defenders just need to be good in their role on offense but it’s not talked about how Brunson led the offense and excelled as a defensive role player. Timely digs running back to his man to closeout and take away driving lanes 2 steals a game many clutch steals drawing charges gang rebounding. Fighting through screens to stay out the action tracking down loose balls

Jalen Brunson (@jalenbrunson1) with an all timer for the haters at the @nyknicks parade:
Success is the only revenge that matters.
Because as you grow, their criticism just fades into irrelevance.
As your impact gets louder, nobody can hear their opinions.
You don't defeat your detractors by arguing with them, you build something so massively impactful that they disappear in its shadow.
Because there's no greater waste of time than seeking validation from people living a life you wouldn't trade for anyways.

Tell me again how the Jalen Brunson hype is too much…
7 trophies in a single season?
Crazy. Work.
2nd Rd pick. Not Athletic. Too Small. Not Worth the Contract.
Bros still UNDERRATED.
