Got a generational playoff whistle, bricked clutch shots for five games, tried to injure guys, had an objectively terrible offensive series, took no accountability as a leader of his teammates.

Jalen Brunson taking that $113M pay cut is the most important move in Knicks history. New York turned that sacrifice into KAT, Mikal Bridges, OG Anunoby staying long term, and the franchise’s first NBA championship since 1973. That decision changed everything. 🏆 🗽

John Starks says the fans' passion and energy helped this team fight until the end.

ny forever 🗽

Mike Brown is one hell of a coach. Pulled the right strings all postseason and Game 5 was a fitting end. With Karl-Anthony Towns in foul trouble all game, Brown picked the perfect moments to roll with Mitchell Robinson or Ariel Hukporti, and when to use small ball. The Knicks took a lot of heat for firing Tom Thibodeau one year ago. But there's no way New York wins the title with a coach as rigid as Thibs. Brown showed adaptability and quick thinking all playoffs: Putting the ball in KAT's hands against Atlanta, Shamet over Hart in the East Finals Game 1 comeback, rolling with Alvarado in Game 4. What a masterful coaching performance.
