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!🇵🇭

ShwinnyPooh, Knicks championship enjoyer
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.
NBA Base@TheNBABase

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."

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)

There’s something poetic about the Knicks repudiating one of Phil Jackson’s famous concepts.

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.

@NY_Sky1 @SlamDunkSlugger EXACTLY! What’s the purpose of saying that your team dominated anything and you still loss??! It was STUPID when #BabyWemby whined about it and it’s STILL STUPID when people agree with it! Because in order to claim you dominated a team it means you won…..

@DanLauer62 I have respect for Draymond and some others who admitted that they were wrong about Knicks. Issued apologies. Many others just looking for an excuse. Doubling down. Or moving the goal post. Shows you what they are about…

@SlamDunkSlugger Amazing or telling to me is that I haven’t heard a single Spur push back on the Wemby choke/dirty narrative or the lack of respect shown to the Knicks

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?!?!

@Fitz2314 Exactly. What a cheap feather to put in one’s hat…. “At least we dominated the first quarter!” Give them the first quarter trophy then! How’s that for a participation award?!

@SlamDunkSlugger Been saying this since the Spurs and the media made up this narrative. So, you “dominated” if you win the first quarter/half of 5 games and lose 4 of them? You lost to the Knicks 6 of 7 games this NBA season and you’re better because you had big leads? What a joke
