Well that's an own goal on replay. But that's all Lukaku's presence being there to have them shook. Man literally just checked in and helped make this level. Amazing
Woooooow Lukaku. Just show up in the game and do that.

Cape Verde's gonna celebrate that draw like they won. And they should cause they survived that match where Spain lacked that burst/energy. Salute for a memorable moment.

Spain hasn't looked great this match but hopefully Yamal can be the golden child and give a spark like he tends to do.

Yup. Take all the $$$ you can because rule No. 1 - there’s no guarantee you’ll get it again. Plus. Best believe those players ain’t taking discounts again. Brunson is gonna want all his money when it’s time to re-up.
have so much respect for jalen brunson and what he's been able to accomplish but one of the worst lessons coming from this knicks' championship run is the idea that great players need to take less money to build a great team. that's owner propaganda, man. don't fall for it.

This is like seeing Dave Roberts geek out over Ice Cube the last 2 Dodgers parades. Love it. Mike Brown earned this. Put on a coaching clinic this postseason.
Mike Brown with the Terror Squad chain may have been my favorite moment 🧡

Dipped back into my basketball roots for this. Mikal Bridges cost the Knicks a pretty penny when they traded for him two Junes ago. After Bridges became an NBA champion, there’s no more room to criticize the trade or Bridges. It paid off handsomely. newsday.com/sports/basketbal…

Said it before but people are telling on themselves when 1) NBA history backs Becky uo, 2) she was a small HOF guard, 3) they don’t acknowledge how the Knicks changed this team up from 2023, 4) KAT was sooo key getting them better.
I’m not even trying to be funny and I do get that she was wrong, but why is there such an intense infatuation with making Becky Hammon apologize? Can someone explain? Because pundits are wrong all the time. Some cop to being wrong. Some don’t.

And that said. Brunson had a classic “on my back” performance last night that’s going down in history. That was his Sistine Chapel when the Spurs basically preferred him cooking vs KAT cooking. And he cooked.

Jalen Brunson, the guard who couldn't be the centerpiece of an NBA champion, is validated. Karl Towns, considered too soft to anchor a front line, is justified. Mike Brown, fired four times and often overlooked in his own profession, is verified. espn.com/nba/story/_/id/4905…

What a stat.
One of the craziest sports statistics I've ever seen: The Spurs led for 72% of the NBA Finals. They lost in five games.

Last night was special. Don't know how folks slept but seeing the videos, they stayed out as long as I did. Today's the Puerto Rican Day parade. Won't be surprised to see a ton of Jose Alvarado jerseys out there.

It's not done yet -- a special section in Newsday Monday, a parade on Thursday -- but thanks to all for following along from Abu Dhabi to the final buzzer of the season. Done this for a long (really long) time, covering since the early 90's, the OJ game, the disappointment of G7 in 1994, a lot of 17-win seasons so really thanks for reading and listening to all of it, the kind words, maybe some not so kind words and for following along.
