Orange & Blue Forever | OBF Network

May 10, 1973 was the last time the Knicks stood on top of the basketball world. Most Knicks fans weren’t alive the last time this happened. Some were introduced to this team by their parents. Some passed the pain down to their kids. Some of us, myself included, wondered if we’d ever live to see this day. On June 13, 2026, the wait finally ended. The New York Knicks are NBA Champions again. A thread 🧵

@Knickloyalty Super dope! Where did you meet the big fella at?

Bruhhh…🤯 My reason for being a #Knicks fan! #PatrickEwing #Knicks 🏆🟧🟦 #NewYorkForever #AlwaysKnicks

@AnxiousKnicksFn Dope angle bro!

Knicks vs Hornets

After sitting here watching NBA free agency this year and overall NBA movement over the past 2 years somebody has to say it.... The new CBA was sold as parity, but the first and second apron are starting to function like a hard cap on player value, team continuity, and player movement. Teams are no longer making purely basketball decisions. They’re making fear-based apron decisions. That means good players get squeezed, homegrown cores get broken up, fan-favorite teams lose their identity, and the overall product loses some of the nostalgia and continuity that made people fall in love with the NBA in the first place. This isn’t about players not understanding business. It’s the opposite. We understand that the NBA is a business. That’s why the @TheNBPA has to operate with elite business acumen, elite negotiating strategy, and real foresight. The owners and the league walk into these meetings with killers that continue to run circles around us time and time again with elite lawyers, economists, cap experts, media strategists, and long term business operators. Players deserve a PA that is just as sharp, just as prepared, and just as aggressive about protecting our upside. Too often, it feels like players are informed after the fact instead of being truly educated and empowered before decisions are made. That cannot continue. The next CBA is a do or die moment for us as players. It's only going to get worse for us. We need transparency, accountability, and a serious re evaluation of who is representing us and how they are representing us. This is not anti parity. This is pro player, fan, and product. The league is strongest when players are valued properly, great teams can stay together, and the people representing us are operating at the same level as the people sitting across the table.

👀 @nyknicks

Knicks got the East buggin out 😂

@DeadbeatCousin @TheDunkCentral @ShamsCharania He wants his jersey retired in Toronto. He shouldv’e never left tbh

@TheDunkCentral @ShamsCharania Don’t leave while you hot that’s where Mase screwed up

Kawhi Leonard is looking to retire in Toronto, per @ShamsCharania

@DeadbeatCousin @TheDunkCentral @ShamsCharania That bar fits Kawhi to a T 🔥

“Knicks in five” is New York for “peace be with you”

@My_Business_Man @jalenbrunson1 @joshhart @Roommates__Show Son wildlin bro! 😭

@Obfnetwork @jalenbrunson1 @joshhart @Roommates__Show

This is wild! 😭😭💀

I know it’s early, and free agency hasn’t even officially started yet, but I’m not moved by a lot of these offseason moves that the rest of the league has made so far. One of the most underrated advantages in sports is continuity. keeping your core together, building chemistry, and letting players grow alongside each other. Our core has been together for the last few seasons. If the Knicks bring back Mitch, Shamet, keep the starting five intact, and retool the bench, I like our chances of defending the title. 🏆

The narrative isn’t my main point. My point is we don’t need him. This team just proved it can win a championship. I’d rather defend the title with the core that got us here than alter the identity of the team for a 41 year old LeBron, even if the price is low. He had his chance to come here in 2010 and turned us down. I’m good now.

@Obfnetwork @TheLoopyBlgger I don’t care for LeBron on the Knicks but this is terrible reasoning 😭 if he can help us repeat on a good deal then you do it The narratives don’t matter they tried to twist the one we just won

KNICKS FANS WOULD YOU GUYS TAKE LEBRON ON THE NY KNICKS IF YOU GET HIM FOR CHEAP !!!!!!!!

@jayceepxrez 😂😂😂

Every PG yall said was better than Brunson getting traded for scraps 😂

I really don’t see Ant staying in Minnesota much longer if this is the direction they’re going. I get moving Julius Randle, but only getting two 2nd round picks back is rough. Then trading Naz Reid who would’ve had a bigger opportunity for a breakout season, for an often injured LaMelo Ball? Very weird. They needed a younger point guard next to Ant but I don’t know man.

BREAKING: The Charlotte Hornets are trading star guard LaMelo Ball and Josh Green to the Minnesota Timberwolves for Naz Reid, a 2033 unprotected first-round pick, three first-round pick swaps (2028, 2029, 2030) and three second-round picks (2029, 2032, 2033), sources tell ESPN.

@BGeltzNBA The plan is probably to retain Shamet and Mitch. Those rookies likely won’t see much playing time on a team trying to defend the title. Leon has worked his magic since he got here and delivered us a championship. Chill out and trust his process.

I know the Knicks are determined to keep this team out of the 2nd apron and keep the roster together as much as possible, but passing on quality talent like Cenac, Maleek Thomas, and Koa Peat doesn’t make a ton of sense just to be able to stash a guy in Europe for a year or two

New York, enjoy your title for now 😭

@WillTheSkillet2 @TheDunkCentral @ESPNMilwaukee 😂😂😂

@TheDunkCentral @ESPNMilwaukee He tryna play for the Brewers or sum? 😭

Giannis Antetokounmpo reportedly doesn’t want to leave Milwaukee — he wants to leave the Bucks, per @ESPNMilwaukee

@Fullcourtpass "Vince Goodwill"

The Knicks not extending Karl-Anthony Towns at the beginning of the season has stuck with him and he has not gotten over it, per @VinceGoodwill (Via @GetUpESPN)

@RebeccaChasen It’s going to be beyond crazy! , but i”ll be there too 🙏🏽
