Among every championship team in NBA history, the 2025-26 Knicks are 1st in average playoff point differential, 9th in playoff winning percentage and 31st in opponents' regular-season winning percentage.
Take the average of every title team's ranks in those categories, and sprinkle in some credit for the total number of series each team won in the playoffs, and this Knicks team comes in at 5th overall.
Only the 2001 Lakers, 1996 Bulls, 2017 Warriors and 1950 Lakers come out better by that formula.
Objectively this has to be the worst Nba title team of all time right?

Just to reference how long it's been since the Knicks won the title, Phil Jackson was a PLAYER on the last New York Knicks team to win a title.

You may care about your favorite sports team, but do you care about it enough to assault random people and destroy property after every Finals win?

What's cool about the Knicks:
In the Finals, Brunson led them in points, OG led in 3s, KAT led in rebounds and /-, Hart tied with Brunson for the lead in assists and only trailed KAT by four rebounds, Mitch led in offensive rebounds and Bridges gave a little of everything.

Jalen Brunson was spectacular in the closeout game and finished the series averaging 32.6 points.
Only players in NBA history to play 100 minutes in a Finals and average more than 32.6 points:
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Rick Barry, Elgin Baylor, Kevin Durant, Allen Iverson, LeBron James, Michael Jordan, Shaquille O'Neal, Hakeem Olajuwon, Dwyane Wade and Jerry West.

Jalen Brunson of the @nyknicks is the second player in NBA history to score 45 points on the road in a title-clinching victory.
The other was Michael Jordan at Utah in 1998.

I think it's crazy to turn this into a free-throw contest with nine seconds left, especially after your team has already missed three and your opponent has a 7'5" guy on the block to rebound.
But it certainly panned out!

I enjoy when Victor Wembanyama reduces NBA basketball to nerf hoops.
