sportsMay 26, 202631189

The New York Knicks clinched an NBA Finals berth, becoming the first team to win the NBA Cup and also reach the NBA Finals in the same season. Jalen Brunson, the NBA Cup MVP, anchored New York through decisive playoff performances, and the Knicks closed three series with wins by 51, 30, and 37 points. The NBA Cup was the franchise's first trophy since 1973, signaling a major turnaround for New York and raising expectations heading into the Finals.

Brunson got an Conference Finals MVP and NBA cup MVP before Tatum and Haliburton

Tickets for a Knicks home game in the NBA finals might be more expensive than the FIFA World Cup final

One thing to say so exciting this Knicks team so close to reach the NBA finals to go for a chip. Last December they won the NBA Cup now on the brink to be the best team in the east!

As a person rooting for the San Antonio Spurs to make the NBA finals, a note that a potential Game 6 against the Knicks would take place at the same time as the World Cup match between France and Senegal in MetLife Stadium

There’s something about the US hosting the World Cup that gets the Knicks all hot and bothered. The last three times the Knicks have made the NBA Finals have been years the US has hosted the World Cup Final

The Knicks have advanced to the NBA Finals for the first time since 1999. They won their 3 closeout games to get there by 51, 30, and 37 points. They are also the first NBA Cup champion to advance to the Finals.

The last time the Knicks were in the NBA Finals, America was hosting a World Cup and OJ was being chased down the 101. John Starks ain’t walking through that door, so bing bong I guess. Unless it’s Spurs-Knicks, then lol of course.
