Ariel Hukporti is the MVP of the championship celebration. He has … let’s say — enjoyed himself. Just stood to the side of Jalen Brunson’s press conference belting “YEAH JALEN!!” the whole time like he was a crazed fan and has now crashed his third or fourth presser.

One thing that is true for all great teams: The guys who don’t get a lot of play are universally liked/respected in the locker room. Hukporti, Dadiet and Diawara are so popular behind the scenes. Hard workers. Comedic relief. It’s so essential on any great team.

This trio crashing Mike Brown’s presser is hilarious.

NYK owner James Dolan interrupts Josh Hart’s press conference to deliver a message to New Yorkers. “Please be safe tonight; don’t get hurt, don’t hurt anybody.. we’ll have a parade in New York on Thursday … be safe (tonight).”

The most KAT thing of all time — he was holding up the walkway off the court because he wanted to share the trophy with Knicks fans, so he stopped and leaned into the stands to let a bunch of them touch it. They reacted like it was the best moment of their lives.

Mitchell Robinson deserved that offensive rebound, that moment, that may have clinched the title.
He's the longest-tenured Knicks and has been here for some bad basketball.

One of the greatest stories in recent NBA history. The Knicks are champs for the first time since 1973. It started with management prioritizing the margins, obsessing over details, and finished with a crew of players whose forever defining characteristic will be its resilience.
