Wrote about this a few years ago. I know people are going to complain about it, and certainly EA could ruin the experience by pushing these too hard...but this CAN improve realism and give college programs more money

All-time great teams are great from October to June. The Knicks had a top-five playoff run. They’re not the 86 Celtics, 72 Lakers, 96 Bulls, etc.

Jay Willams says the New York Knicks are a All-Time great team:
“I think their All-Time great team because they had a All-Time great run. You have a great run at the end of the day regardless of name recognition because that’s how we like to associate great teams, like how many Hall of Famers are on a team, or how many names jump off the page. Beautiful thing about this squad is they were actual unit they did it collectively and for me that etches them in history of one the All-Time great teams.”

The Finals ending with a bricked Wembanyama 3-pointer pretty much sums up the whole thing. 9/33 for the series.
The Knicks played harder. The Knicks played smarter. The Knicks were the more poised team in crunch time.
Talent didn’t determine this series, maturity did.
