Also Harrison Barnes. He stayed on the court and sought out Brunson and gave him a full on hug.

The Knicks are an example of smart, courageous team building. Firing Thibs for Mike Brown was a ballsy decision by the Knicks. One of many that got them to this point. RJ & Quickley for OG, trading a 1st for Hart, signing Brunson to a big deal, the Randle for KAT deal, sending a ton of picks for Bridges, and moves around the edges like adding Shamet and Alvarado. Some teams are built through the draft. The Knicks were built through masterful trades and signings. Big time credit to Leon Rose and that New York front office.

Striking: New internal polling by Dems finds majorities of working class in some pretty red House districts blame Trump/GOP for their economic struggles. This is why Dems are contesting tough seats. Crucial that they're expanding the map. Details here: newrepublic.com/article/2116…

When your devotion to one man destroys your loyalty to your country and its laws. For many in MAGA, Trump is the law. And that is fundamentally un-American.

A 14-point deficit in Game 1. A 12-point one in Game 2. A record-breaking 29-point deficit overcome in Game 4. A 16-point deficit in the clinching Game 5. It all encompasses the heart of an NYK team that snaps a 53-year title drought. Massive congrats to the franchise & its fans

In a league of killers, Jalen Brunson is one of the best winners of his generation. He won two chips at Villanova in three years, and he's made the New York Knicks into NBA champions. At 6-foot-1-ish. He's a great, GREAT basketball player.

New York Knicks wins first NBA Championship since 1973.

Thanks to the Knicks, I watched more NBA in the past 30 days than I have the last 30 years, and you know what? They remind me more of the 1969 Mets than any New York champion since. What a likeable group of men. Congratulations. Savor every morsel. It’s forever!

EVERYONE IN NYC IS SINGING EMPIRE STATE OF MIND

Aged like milk.

From NCAA national champions to NBA champions. 2016 to 2026.

June 14, 1994: #11 breaks a 54 year drought June 13, 2026: #11 breaks a 53 year drought

It was always going to take an extraordinary group of men to get the Knicks over the hump. This was an extraordinary group. The truest definition of a team. Chemistry. Selflessness. Sacrifice. A group greater than the sum of its parts. Congratulations to the 2026 Knicks. It’s not often a team captures the imagination of an entire city, but this one did. What a ride.

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 53 YEARS, THE KNICKS ARE NBA CHAMPIONS 🏆 New York defeats San Antonio 4-1 in the NBA Finals, capturing their third championship in franchise history!

This is what it sounded like when the Knicks won their first championship in 53 years

This is why republicans are making it as hard as possible to vote

There is a lot of “Paraguay isn’t very good” talk. Full stop. Under Alfaro, they lost just once in WCQ and went 9 straight without defeat. They beat URG, Brazil, & Argentina. They were one of the best defensive teams in the 🌎. Paraguay isn’t bad. #USMNT made them look bad.

Breaking News from @TheAthletic: The Knicks rallied to defeat the Spurs in Game 5 and claim the franchise’s first NBA title since 1973. nyti.ms/4uEvA7Z

Crazy fact about this series: The Knicks trailed the Spurs by double digits in FIVE OUT OF FIVE GAMES. Still won 4 of them.

This is a huge, huge deal in Ohio and Iowa. Those are states that moved away from the Democrats because of white working class voters. If those voters come back in 2026, those two Senate races become very winnable.
