THE NEW YORK KNICKS ARE YOUR 2026 NBA CHAMPIONS
The knicks beat the spurs 94-90 to secure the nba championship congratulations to the New York Knicks and fans!
Call Batman NOW
I’m visiting NY in a few weeks will there even be a city to visit 😂 😭
Good that you’ll be there, they’ll need help with the rebuild
We’ll help with the roofs
Heard Fox is going to be out there for brick laying.
Fox can help lay bricks
Between this and the world cup going on, NYC needs Spiderman too
Puerto Rican day parade tomorrow as well. NYC gonna need the entire Avengers!
Lol if Haiti had won against Scotland tonight as well, j think you’d be right. The city will probably need to be rebuilt.
CALL THE WHOLE DAMN JUSTICE LEAGUE
DONT CALL MAMDANI HE ALREADY OUTSIDE
ALREADY BETTER THAN BATMAN WITH PREP TIME
Brunson is a top 5 player in the league imo, tired of him getting treated like he’s a bum.
EVEYONE’S BETTER THAN BRUNSON TILL ITS TIME TO BE BETTER THAN BRUNSON
Absolute baller. Guarantee he was probably playing on a grade 2 sprained ankle. No WAY he was coming out. Dude has heart.
Gonna need the whole damn Justice League to contain what is about to be unleashed on NYC.
we bouta have 49 states 🙏
If you ever feel incompetent. Just remember that the Kings fired Mike Brown last year.
Yeah yeah but we also helped knicks win by lobbing fox off to spurs
in this life you can either be mike brown or de’aaron fox
The quick Mike Brown jumps over De errant Fox
Knicks owe their title to the Kings. They got Mike Brown, and Fox was the sleeper agent. Kings should be co-champions lmao
Clutch player of the year
And the mavericks had Luka and Brunson on the same team.
And now has neither
Somehow this is yet another loss by Nico Harrison
And the Spurs had Sochan, and look at them now
Light the beam
I’m actually sick over how unclutch this spurs team was, this entire series. I’ve never seen anything like it. Missing layups, free throws, 50⁄50 balls, fouling on 3, turning the ball over in the clutch, you name it, the spurs were good for it.
Every game was a choke job. That shouldn’t happen. Fox is a clutch player of the year, crazy regression in the finals. It could easily be 3-2 Spurs right now if he didn’t fuck up.
They could have won literally every game. Never seen anything like this in terms of consistently getting a massive lead and consistently choking it away.
I can’t imagine being a Spurs fan and losing in this fashion. Painfully close and holding huge leads in multiple games only to choke it away repeatedly.
Reminds me a lot of the 2015 Mets, lost the series to the Royals 4 games to 1 despite being up late in every loss
Nice to be on this side of it this time lol
Idk lol I’m sure it hurts right now but they’ve got an insane team that’s all super young. They’re basically built to go back to the Finals multiple times and they took down OKC on the way.
This series obviously sucked for Spurs fans but the Spurs have a better future than at least 27 teams in the league, if not more.
They’re basically built to go back to the Finals multiple times and they took down OKC on the way.
Knicks played like this might be their best and only shot and they could not afford to lose a single game. Spurs played like they’d be back in the finals again next year and this was all pretty neat.
And it’s crazy how the first 3 quarters they seemed to be pretty legit. But 4th quarter it’s like they all forgot how to play basketball.
Tbf, the Knicks have done this to literally everybody besides the Pacers for practically the last two years
Thibs bootcamp goes hard.
The Spurs are so fucking bad at closing out games, holy shit dude.
Best gifts from France to NYC:
Spurs choking every 4th quarter
The Statue of Liberty
For real. I can’t believe they blew this one AGAIN
Honestly at some point it becomes predictable. Saw that we had cut it to 3 with 5 minutes left and knew we’d win this.
When I walked in and saw the knicks were down 11, I honestly knew they were gonna win. Saw a stat the other day they’re like 5-3 when down 20.
Because the reasons are always the same. This rotation was too short for a Finals that is very demanding. Players too inexperienced to hold a league when gassed, and coaching staff that got worked a bit as they too were inexperienced. But you can’t manifest things that aren’t there at the end of the day
Yup. Bad coaching and Kornet and Fox being ass.
Awful Coaching explosive video tonight prepare your eardrums (or don’t he’s gonna lose his voice 2 cuts in)
If I see Kornet around the ball I expect him to fuck up. Tall and that’s all.
Just not true. It won’t be popular now that the Spurs lost but Kornet is a great backup center; could even be a low end starter on a good team. He is a good PnR guy, and has great intangibles. He is almost always in the right place. Not gonna take this disrespectful to the Murder Kornet as a Celtics fan
Probably has to do with the fact that it’s their first postseason appearance in 7 years and that they are tied as the 2nd youngest team in the league..
The fact that they made the finals is already extremely impressive
Nah man. We have to fire everyone and trade all our players, that’s how winners are made
If you’ve watched the Knicks last few years, they are very good at coming back late. Maybe a little of A and bit of B.
Jalen Brunson with the absolute carry job cements himself as the greatest Knick of all time
:(
KG and KAT are the two who i will still never regret though. Those dudes stuck it out for us
100% agree. Was happy for KG then. Happy for KAT now.
completely reverses the fmvp conversation from og to him in a closeout game, props
You mean Fox isn’t a shoe in for the award?
I saw he put up 45 and was like damn
He almost scored half the points in a close out game JFC
I think it’s the highest percentage since MJ in 1998. Crazy stuff
45 out of their 94 total points. absolutely insane
Everyone’s better than Brunson until it’s time to be better than Brunson
Walt Frazier put up 36/19/7/5 on 71% from the field and 100% from the line in a game 7 of the NBA Finals to beat a West/Wilt/Baylor Lakers team and then won another title on top of that
All the convos on FMVP silenced in one game
Yep. After 2 wins it was Towns. After 3 it was OG. Brunson took that trophy tonight.
This man is about to be worshipped in NYC for generations
Not the biggest or most athletic player too. He’s the definition of will, determination, and grit.
Just happy Ewing is alive to see this
I’m happy Clyde is alive to see this and is still calling games
Him and Breen deserve this. They have sat through….a lot
Yes, Yes & Yes!
I’m so glad Clyde is here to see this too.
Sad Willis Reed couldn’t be here too 🙏 rest in peace
Insane chokejob all series long by San Antonio
Horrible coaching and frustrating to watch Wemby play in the second halves along with the entire team.
Does Mitch Johnson have brain damage? How the fuck could he still have Fox out there selling after game 4?
Chuck was right when he said gotta take Fox out.
The only reason he continued to play HAD to be to limit turnovers on offense? It seemed like every time Castle was the only one it would be turnover central.
Except Harper shouldve been the one with the ball in his hands the entire game (even with his smoked layups)
He is the Matt Eberflus of basketball.
I couldn’t even imagine being a Spurs fan. This was the worst coaching job I’ve ever seen (outside of Kenny Payne at Louisville).
Why did they foul with a 10 second difference (24 vs 14). How did they blow these leads. WHY DIDNT THEY CALL MORE TIMEOUTS.
Seriously bad coaching. I’d hate to be the Spurs GM because the coaching was so bad you have to consider firing Johnson but that’s brutal after getting to the finals.
I think they give him another year but he honestly probably doesn’t deserve it.
I have no idea how you can have a double digit lead late into nearly every game and blow each one
it was funny seeing them go into this fourth up 5 with my only thought being “that’s not high enough” at this point the choke was just predictable
Up 5? Seeing them up 15, I was thinking, “that’s not high enough”
Seriously. Yes, Spurs lost this. Absolutely pathetic performance
I know they’re a young team, but how the fuck do you choke four or five straight games where you blew a lead in each game?
Young team, young HC, minimal veteran leadership. These collapses only happen when you’ve got the amount of inexperience as they had in the end.
Game 2, Wemby loses the game twice with the turnover and the miss.
Game 4, the worst finals collapse of all-time, Fox cements himself as a Knicks legend and GOAT bonehead.
Game 5, the team comes together for an all-round embarrassment, everyone shares the load.
I WAS HERE to watch the spurs fumble every game ☹️
Knicks came back from double-digit deficits in all four of their wins
Knicks would have choked away leads too. Good thing we never had any.
Coach was absolutely horrible all series long and Wemby disappearing when it mattered. Congrats knicks but make sure your fans stay somewhat, maybe a little bit classy and not hurt anyone.
City gone by tomorrow, sorry I don’t make the rules
Mamdani needs to get that Giant Knicks jersey for the Statue of Liberty ordered ASAP in time for the parade
And *Jon Stewart needs to cut the ribbon at the reveal! Haha
*edited
Jon. Unless you meant the Green Lantern cutting the ribbon with giant green scissors?
NEW YORK HAS OFFICIALLY HERALDED MAMDANI AS THE PROPHET
ONLY LOSS WAS THE TRUMP GAME, MAMDANI 2028
Kat got a ring 🥹
KAT & Wiggins got rings before Jimmy lmao
lol let’s be real. at this point, jimmy isn’t getting a ring
And Mikal 🥲
I genuinely cannot believe it
I’m hindsight, not raising a banner for the NBA Cup is one of the all-time gangster moves.
So many people were making fun of them saying they need to celebrate the wins where they can. I love this outcome lmao
People been lolknicks for 25 years. Now we hang both baby. What a series.
They should do it alongside the Championship banner, all time troll move
I remember watching the Knicks as a kid. We were a joke for decades. I can’t tell you how good this feels.
NYC GONNA BURN DOWN
Pray for the city
We party now! Good luck everybody else!
And it was already full of drunk Brazilians.
Welp they don’t have to worry about Bridges 5 picks, Kat 60 mil Po, OGs health.
SEND MORE PICKS
we call those fun coupons
Amazing that they give Thibs the boot and immediately win.
He created the culture, his role as a floor raiser can’t be understated
100%. Thibs was a huge part of this and deserves credit.
One of the most dominate yet unexpected champions ever. Somehow the first round team was the only one that took them to 6
Those birds have hands
Talons, actually.
IIRC, Hawks also took 2008 Celtics to G7 in the first round 1-vs-8.
Wu Tang with the generational aura flip
They’re the entire reason we keep Staten Island around.
They should get rings. They resurrected the vibes.
‘so i got with THE NEW YORK KNICKS and went all out’ shoutout raekwon top 5 doa
Jalen Brunson with one of the greatest single game performances of all time this Game 5. Nobody else showed up to score, and he carried them to the win and clinching performance
What did it say? 45pts for him 49 the rest of the team?
Exactly. He tied Jordan for the most points in a road finals close out. He played out of his mind tonight.
It’s not that, it’s that his team was fading and seemingly throwing in the towel only for him to say “nah son, not today.”
Seriously. It seemed like everyone else wanted to either clinch at home or was intimidated by the moment, but Brunson refused. So much so that when anyone else took a shot in the fourth I was outright asking “why are you going away from Brunson here?”
Gotta be up there, if not the best. I’ve never seen a team so off be so carried.
He dragged them. It seemed like everyone else (other than Bridges) wanted to win at home/was not ready for this, but Brunson just wanted to close and did it all himself.
Hart showed up too but yeah, crazy
2021 Giannis game 6
Brunson postgame speech GOATed. Nothing phony or canned about that one.
WE DID IT!!!
Tatum catching strays lol.
He’s a real one for sure
that’s why, among MANY reasons, we knicks fans love him. He’s just comfortably himself.
START SPREADING THE NEWS
MAMDANI FIRST YEAR IN OFFICE AND KNICKS WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP. COINCIDENCE?
THEY WON EVERY SINGLE GAME THAT TRUMP DIDNT ATTEND!!!
IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A SWEEP IF NOT FOR HIM
I, for one, welcome our new Muslim socialist overlords
Castle and Fox yikes
One is young the other just sucks ass
The rookie in their team schooled them both, youth is not enough to justify this
This is Castles second year I’m sure he is frustrated by this. Fox I honestly believe sports bet or something
Dylan Harper’s been ballin out all playoffs. He’s got a bright future.
GG Knicks, you earned it.
Castle at least had a good series , idk what the fuck Fox was doing. I better found out Dude was playing drunk , that’s the only thing that makes sense
Castle is young and will learn from this. Fox has been terrible and I swear to fuck, needs to be investigated
Brunson is going to be an actual god in new York.
Free drinks forever
free everything forever
THE KNICKS WIN!!!!
CONGRATS!
Congrats Knicks Fans
Wemby just walked off without shaking hands?
And reddit still won’t hate him. He can do no wrong.
This series made me like Wemby a lot less I feel like that isn’t uncommon
As a spurs fan, I feel the same. He needs to learn to control his emotions on the court.
Idk man, all the live threads were turning on him this series due to all the violence and shit talking he couldn’t back up
Plays dirty and is a sore loser, no surprises there
Ethical hoops
Off to go meditate on another mountain.
Dirty player with a bad attitude
Just wanted to say fuck you, James Dolan
It’s such a terrible decision to have the owner be the first one with the trophy
Like congrats on being rich
u cud hear boos durin his phony ass speech 😂
My mayor still Muslim My bagel’s still Jewish Black Jesus was in the mix KNICKS DIDN’T NEED SIX!!!
My mayor still Muslim! My bagel’s still Jewish! The Popes on our side KNICKS IN FIVEEE
BIG OLE WOMEN DOWN BAD
Churros shaking in their boots rn.
An amazing run by the Knicks. Congrats!
Brunson just proved you can win with a guy my height as your number 1 option.
Sucks as a Spurs fan but man what an inspiring journey.
Knicks were just the more consistent team, they deserved it. I like the Knicks players, very humble. Congrats to them. Wemby is too prideful, needs to take a page from Pop and the humble team-focused mentality of the 2014 Spurs
BINGBONG!!!!!
FUCK YA LIFE
Lmao Josh Hart is hilarious in this ending ceremony.
“Ay, forget them picks, forget them picks!”
GET IN HERE
MITCH ROB WITH ONE OF HIS BIGGEST REBOUNDS OF HIS CAREER
BRUNSON WITH 46
LETTTTSSS GOOOOOOOO
Jalen Brunson has officially reached the Mount Rushmore of the All Time Greatest Knickerbockers
Nah:
*All time greatest NY sports athletes. FTFY
FUCK THEM PICKS
THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP PREVAILS
Fox is an NBA championnnn
Is there any owner more unlikable than Dolan?
Not a Knicks fan, but I’m getting emotional for the team.
From Bridges losing in 2021 to KAT getting traded from the Wolves.
Of course Brunson, taking the HUGE paycut, to many people calling him good but “not good enough”. To people saying the paycut was dumb since the Knicks would never win.
And he proved them all wrong.
All the sacrifices, were worth it.
Only lost when the orange man was there. Knicks are champs. So good to watch and see this happen for their fanbase. So well deserved🔥🔥🔥
Everyone always said you cant win a championship with Brunson as your best player. Well turns out you can win one if youre not sure who your best player is between Brunson, KAT, and OG.
Congrats Knicks. Completely deserved. Great for the league.
Brunson is their best player
You thought we were obnoxious BEFORE…
One of the most truly earned titles ever, what a insane postseason run.
The last time the Knicks won was when my Dad 1st came to the United States. He is now 84 and in shock. He never thought he would see this day.
Well played well played
KAT won a ring before Butler lolol
You gotta shoutout the front office in this one too. Signing Jalen Brunson in the offseason when people had doubt if he was worth all the money for that many years, trading 4 unprotected 1st round picks for Mikal. All worth it in the end. See you guys in 50 years.
Wemby such a sore loser wtf
Danhausen broke the curse!
Scott foster tried
Mamdani should be mayor for life because of this
