This whole table is gold. I’d love to see this for future NBA-wide events that every fan base might react differently to

And the legacy part.

“What does this mean for Luka/Dame’s legacy?”

“This is uhhh… not good for Mitchell’s legacy.”

Yea I liked the “Congrats” section. Felt like half the league was pulling for the Knicks on account of former fan favourites

Missing the Sonics sub “Thank god it wasn’t OKC”

I love how a third of the teams just happy they have a former player on this roster lol, this Knicks team represents the whole NBA not just NY

Agree, this is the content I didn’t know I needed until reading it. Excellent work, OP.

Idk you should have seen the Thunder sub LMAO

One of the top voted posts of the month is titled something like HAHA…..HAHA

Can confirm, good friend lives out in Sac-city and he was a lot happier than i thought hed be

The Thunder sub was ready for a parade. I didn’t check the Knicks sub at all these past few weeks but the Thunder sub was pure gold after every finals game.

Knicks used to be Kings east man I hope one day the Kings and their fans will have this moment too

Funny as hell. I guess fox is really that hated but lmao the fact that Mike Brown won it is just beautiful

I enjoyed the Hawks sub reactions the most this playoff.

Kings winning a championship is completely unfathomable for me at this point so Mike Brown + Fox bringing one to the Knicks is close enough

Im a mavs fan and I feel bad for kings fans

Basically

I feel like Wolverine looking longingly at the picture frame of our championship…

Nosebleeds of Game 5 will always be the greatest purchase of my life. I knew this shit wasn’t gonna last.

Jokic-style phrasing 

Raptor fans were right about this dude not getting attention because where he was playing. Dude is fucking amazing. I’m watching the same thing happen to Scottie Barnes in real time. Not getting the recognition he deserves.

Yeah we’re happy for Mikal (and Shamet), but are way more sad and desperate about it lol

I was rooting for the Spurs and even I’m happy for OG. He played amazingly the whole series and did it with composure and grace. That game 4 tip in was the stuff of legends and will live rent free in my head for the rest of my life.

A choke is still a loss. And a good team can make another team choke. That doesn’t invalidate what the hawks did imo

We love cj

CJ turned into Halliburton for a few and we almost had a collective stroke about what would happen if we lost thst series. I want the Hawks to be crazy good next year just to show that their playoff performance was not a fluke cause I was stressed.

We also did it without a center.

Well the Spurs choked every single game we beat them in, they’re still wins

as a nuggets fan, taking the thunder to 7 felt a lot better when they destroyed the wolves. so, relatable 

A year ago we were going into Game 7 of the NBA finals. The excitement was crazy. Then our franchise player tore his Achilles, we lost, we tanked and then lost our first round pick, and the Knicks won a title. Pacers fandom is cruelty.

the sub is in SHAMBLES lmfao. we are deeply unhappy 💔

If I was a Knicks fan reading the Pacers sub would give me life. Instead, I’m a neutral fan, and I felt so bad reading it. Imagine losing game 7 of the Finals AND an entire season cuz your star player got hurt and then in that season you have to watch your biggest rival (who you beat in the playoffs the last year) win the Finals. I’d be in pain.

I’ll admit I spent some time lurking in a few rival team subs just to drink some tears, and r/pacers was so sad I actually felt bad for those hicks for a minute.

I was expecting it to be “I’m glad this season from hell is over” or “Next game, Haliburton plays”. But disgust is apt too. Well done OP!

Text to my homie right after the buzzer. “I am disgusted”

Off season shitposting can’t peak this early, please.

One of the most dominant post season runs in history too

you are mistaking 2026 brown with 2006-2012 brown.  2 very different guys

He won one with y’all lol

he’s won a few

You guys had Doncic, Brunson, and Porzingis together at one point and now you guys don’t have any of them thanks to Nico Harrison’s disaster-class. At least you guys now have Cooper Flagg under a better front office?

Now they’re realizing Nico kicked out their elite medical guy in totally fucked up circumstances… and we scooped him up. I feel for them.

At least they have Cooper and time to rebuild what Nico tore down. We made those shitty moves for 2 decades to hang it all on like Emmanuel Mudiay

I think a lot of us were rooting for the Knicks to win because of Jalen + the Spurs give us Vietnam flashbacks, but damn does it still hurt. I remember most of the sub having very ??? reactions to the FO not fighting harder to keep JB, he was easily my 2nd favorite player at the time. Life is pain, so happy that he got a ring though

Yeah, the vibes are pretty bad. During our “window” pretty much every one of our rivals/title competitors have won a championship and we’re still stuck in the same place we’ve always been.

Orange and blue teams have to stick together

We got y’all last year, y’all had us this year. Back to back years of successful finals hate watches for each of us lmao.

I thought it was pretty funny seeing their reactions. And why wouldn’t they talk shit? The Spurs led the charge on “ethical basketball” claims and they were viewed as the ones who would save basketball lol.

The Chet vs Wemby memes are so funny on there. I feel like a child laughing at them but they get time every time 😭

We are a bunch of wild and crazy guys.

Together ape strong

Need more Dillon Jones love

Chet having a ring and Wemby not is just comedy gold. I mean he will probably get one eventually but for now it is hilarious.

lol, pleasantly surprised that OP nailed our sub reaction. Haven’t had such a mix of pain and laughter in a while.

It’s still insane just how many times they blew double digit leads

Like as soon as they were up by 10 in game 5 the entire game thread just knew lol

Nuggets getting embarrassed round 1 was the cherry on top

Accurate to how I feel. I want specifically rooting against the Spurs so much as I have enjoyed rooting for the Knicks most of the Brunson era.

Although I don’t really care about Luka’s legacy rn.

Yeah, we want to yeet Nico Harrison into the sun. Fans loved both guys and were heartbroken

The Nets sub is by far the saddest. A lot of, “we’re here and we matter!” which I get they have fans, but out all the teams in the NY Metro area they have by far the smallest fanbase.

They never will, but they should go back to New Jersey, that was their fanbase and where they belong.

As a Nets enjoyer, it’s functionally a funeral for franchise relevance. There was a white hot moment of “The Big 3” when people imagined the team supplanting the Knicks as the New York team (especially with the Knicks circling the drain for decades). Now? The Nets are below the Mets. Hell, they’re probably sub-Clippers when it comes to “two teams in the same city.” There is some absurd hope on the sub that they can magically move back to NJ (not happening, obv). It’s the equivalent of a man in a failing relationship dreaming of “going out for a pack of cigarettes” to never return.

It’s that bad.

I read the Nets sub and I could only feel sad for them. They really shouldn’t be in NYC. I know the potential revenue even as a secondary team is pretty crazy but at the same time its like a constant humiliation ritual. Imagine how bad it’d be if the Knicks had the same playoff success as the Lakers.

The people salty about Mikal winning were wild. Went on there and just rolled my eyes.

Man, add on that Daniel Jones on the Colts tore his Achilles right after we were ranked #1 in the league and Caitlyn Clark missed almost the whole year with a leg injury, it’s been a bad bad year for Indy pro sports.

Looking forward to another ECF matchup next year.

got the blazers coach tho so that’s something

Apathy is the general tone for the Bulls for the past 10 years

I think the price for NBA Champion Mikal Bridges starts at 5 first round picks.

It is pretty bad as a Sixers fan. It’s either a consolation or a greater curse that these Knicks are probably the most Philly team ever to win a national title.
