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 Roster, Salaries, Cap Space, Available Draft Picks and More
(Note: For more information on CBA terms and their impact, read this breakdown from June 2024.) The New York Knicks are NBA champions. Every last move over the last several years, every tweak of the salary cap, every bold decision has all led up to this moment, with the Knicks ending a 53-year long nightmare […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘I’m just proud of the guys’
Second day waking up as a fan of the reigning NBA champs. Truth be told, it feels the same as it did yesterday, if not better. Here’s the latest, including a brief and unexpected cameo from the man who built the house! Tom Thibodeau (via Taj Gibson) On his reaction to the Knicks’ championship: “Man, […]
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 […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘It’s everything I dreamed of. It’s why I came to New York.’
New York Knicks. 2026 NBA Champions. Mic drop. Mike Brown On Jalen Brunson being a true No. 1 star: “I hope you guys will listen to me, he is a top-three MVP candidate. Everybody kind of mentions his name in passing, they don’t do it seriously enough — people say he’s too small, people say […]
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. […]
Jalen Brunson earns NBA Finals MVP as Knicks win championship
The New York Knicks entered the NBA Finals looking to complete a postseason run that had already turned into one of the most dominant stretches in franchise history, with the ’Bockers winning 13 games in a row before just losing one of their final four. 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!!!
For 53 years, the New York Knicks chased a championship that always seemed just out of reach. Generations of fans came and went without seeing a banner raised above Madison Square Garden. On Saturday night, that wait finally ended with a 94-90 win over the San Antonio Spurs. The New York Knicks are the 2026 […]
NBA Finals Game Thread: Knicks at Spurs, Game 5, June 13, 2026
The Knicks return to the Frost Bank Center to face the Spurs in Game Five of the NBA Finals. They’ve already won there twice—Games One and Two—and are coming off a 29-point comeback for the ages to win Game Four at home. Now, with the Spurs stunned by another blow-lead and heartbreaking loss, the Knicks […]
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 […]
48 minutes from a title, Knicks fans are running out of ways to protect their hearts
5,242 days. That’s how long it’s been since a major 4 pro sports New York team played for a championship, when the New York Giants defeated the New England Patriots on February 5, 2012, winning Super Bowl XLVI. Since then, the Yankees, Mets, and Rangers have all advanced to their respective championship series, but all […]
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 […]
NBA Finals Game Preview: Knicks at Spurs, Game 5, June 13, 2026
The New York Knicks visit the San Antonio Spurs tonight at Frost Bank Center for Game Five of the NBA Finals.

Is This Finally The Year Mikal Bridges Wins A Ring?
It’s been five years since Mikal Bridges walked off the court in disappointment after the Phoenix Suns lost Game 6 of the NBA Finals against the Milwaukee Bucks.

Knicks Bulletin: ‘Zero-Zero’
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. Mike Brown On the need for staying focused with the title one win away: “The biggest thing is everybody has to stay present. You have to be […]
What did the Knicks figure out in their exhilarating second half comeback in Game 4?
Through four games, the 2026 NBA Finals have been even in just about every way. The Knicks may lead the series three games to one, but as many pundits and salty NBA fans will tell you, all of these games could’ve gone the opposite way with a few different possessions or calls going differently. Unfortunately […]
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. After the Knicks’ epic Game 4 comeback against the San Antonio Spurs, they have pushed their opponent to the brink of elimination, but […]

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 […]
Knicks Bulletin: ‘If you are going to talk trash, you can’t let this happen at the end’
There’s a chance we are a little over 24 hours from the biggest celebration in Knicks history. There’s no chance you miss it.
