ICYMI: The New York Knicks are NBA Champions, as called by @LT__Murray and @McNuttMonica !
Thank you to all of the incredible fans for listening to @ESPNNewYork this season. Your home of the NBA Champions.
Start building the Jalen Brunson statue. Brunson took a $100M pay cut to make this possible. This is the greatest championship run many of us will ever see.
The Spurs are the only team in NBA history to have:
76 or more points in the first half
30 or fewer points in the second half
...in any game, regular season or playoffs.
Most Playoff Points by a Player Drafted in 2018:
2,107 — Jalen Brunson
1,697 — Luka Doncic
1,600 — Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
1,004 — Mikal Bridges
974 — Michael Porter Jr.

Milan Momcilovic received an NIL package over $6.5 million from Kentucky after winning a bidding war against Louisville and Arizona.
Momcilovic, projected as an early 2nd-round pick, will make more than the No. 8 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft.
The power of the new NIL era.

Bombshell: The #Browns are finalizing a trade of Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett to the #Rams in a shocker, sources tell me, @TomPelissero & @AdamSchefter.
Cleveland would send Garrett to LA in exchange for star edge Jared Verse, a first-rounder, and more.
