After yesterday's parade, Giannis Antetokounmpo hugged Jon Horst, stood on a Jeep and then chatted with me about the Bucks' championship run.
"Now they respect us, man. Milwaukee is on the f**king map again."

I used to believe in karma. I don’t anymore. I never believed in destiny. I do now.
The Knicks, one win away from an NBA title, feel like the chosen ones.
My column after they made the impossible possible yet again:

What De’Aaron Fox thought versus what De’Aaron Fox did were two very different things.
And the disastrous disconnect between them might have cost the San Antonio Spurs a title.

Mike Brown said he “challenged” OG Anunoby at shootaround this morning: I told OG as big, as strong, as athletic as he is, he’s gotta be a monster in the offensive glass tonight. I don’t know if there is a play bigger in the history of Knicks basketball.”

Jalen Brunson thrives under pressure in a way few ever have.
Because of that, and my very recent 12-round bout with anxiety, I wanted to learn more about his relationship with pressure so I can continue to better understand myself.

Condolences to the Adelman family. Rick, who was the first coach I ever covered, was one of the most underrated and innovative minds in the history of the game. Above all that, I always loved how he put his family first, even in this crazy NBA world. Rest in peace, Rick.
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver issued the following statement today regarding the passing of former NBA player, head coach and Naismith Basketball Hall of Famer Rick Adelman:
"Rick Adelman was one of the most respected and accomplished coaches in the history of the NBA. Following his NBA playing career, Rick turned to coaching where his leadership, innovation and genuine love for basketball left a lasting impression on generations of players and fellow coaches over his nearly 30-year run. He was a brilliant strategist and teacher of the game, and an even better person. I send my deepest condolences to Rick's family and many friends throughout the league."

Per a league official, the NBA has warned Victor Wembanyama after he decided not to fulfill media obligations last night. He was not fined.
