Jeremy Sochan, NBA Champion

One thing that we see every so often across sports ahead of a championship series is the “Guaranteed Ring”. When a player plays for both finalists in a sport, they’re essentially secured a ring, as all players who suited up for a specific team in a season usually get one for their efforts, no matter […]

Knicks 94, Spurs 90: “Everyone knows we’re gonna do it”

It is finished. Pigs are flying first class. Climate change hit hell, got it looking like Buffalo in February. New York City has a well-loved mayor and an NBA championship. The old world is dead. The new world is born. The monsters in-between? KO’d. They dunno what him ‘em. 1 loss in 51 days. A […]

The greatest paycut in sports history belongs to New York

Jalen Brunson was overpaid. That was the consensus when the Knicks signed him in free agency on June 30, 2022, inking him to a four-year, $104 million contract. It was the first time in NBA history a non-All-Star had inked a nine-figure contract in free agency. The consensus was that he was given too much […]

Knicks Fans Deserve This

Your New York Knicks are the 2026 NBA champions. Full stop. And hey, it was very obvious from the moment the final buzzer sounded inside that sad-for-the-hosts arena in San Antonio, that the thing that mattered the most to everybody in New York City was going outside. Going mad outside. There will be two banners. […]

The Knicks put all haters to bed on Saturday night […]

Knicks 94, Spurs 90: Scenes from a championship.

It was nearly a home game. According to TickPick data, New York and New Jersey residents bought 45% of the tickets to Game Five in San Antonio. You could hear it in the opening minutes, when the ‘Bocker backers were just as loud as the Spurs fanatics. Unfortunately, the visiting team didn’t give a lot […]

The New York Knicks are NBA Champions!!!

This Is The Closest The Knicks Have Been To Glory In Decades

The New York Knicks are one step away from basketball immortality and winning the NBA Finals for the first time since 1973. It’s been a long time coming for the Knicks and their fandom, especially considering the fact that most of them have never seen a team this close to the championship. There was the […]

Madison Square Garden Has Never Felt More Alive

Up until Wednesday, we knew Madison Square Garden was the Mecca of Basketball. There were loud Garden nights. There were celebrity Garden nights. To be fair, there were all sorts of nights inside the Garden because there is no event—no cap to its greatness—the Garden hasn’t graced. But then, there was Game 4. Like many, […]

Comparing These Knicks To The 1990s Teams

For the past 25 years, any remotely good New York Knicks team would eventually get compared to the 1990s Knicks. Makes sense, considering they were the most modern-era squad close to going the distance after New York last celebrated a title in 1973. If you’re like me, you weren’t around back then. If you’re like […]

The Day has arrived, folks. It’s win-and-chip for the Knicks in Texas. Here’s the latest from San Antonio, half a day from the most-anticipated tip-off in Knicks history.

The Pressure Is Suddenly On The Knicks To Finish The Job

It’s been ten years since a team leading in the NBA Finals 3-1 blew the lead, and the New York Knicks are hoping they aren’t the latest squad to join that list.

NBA Finals: Who Will Win Finals MVP?

The New York Knicks are one win away from their first championship since 1973. You read that right, folks.

Fraternizing with the Enemy: Discussing Disaster, Dreaming of Glory Before Game 5

Here is my latest conversation with J.R. Wilco of Pounding the Rock. Through the Finasl, J.R. Wilco and I have spent a lot of time discussing basketball, but also writing, family, perspective, and the emotional bargain we make when we invest ourselves in sports. The chat flowed easily while our teams traded punches and neither side […]
