Against ALL ODDS, the New York Knicks become NBA champions for the first time in 53 years. A 5-game series victory for the Knicks over the up and coming San Antonio Spurs team who just could not hold on to a lead in the Finals. Over the course of the season, the Spurs at times had trouble closing out opponents and that was on full display in the NBA Finals. Jalen Brunson showed the world that he may just be the most reliable player in the world when it came to crunch time, as he always showed up when his team needed him. 45 points in a close-out Finals game from Jalen Brunson, tying the record for the most points in a close-out Finals game held by none other than Michael Jordan.
Enjoy it, Knicks fans, as this team is immortalized in NBA history forever.
