The Official 2025/2026 NBA Season - The New York Knicks Are The 2026 NBA CHAMPIONS!!!

I hear you, too. However this is a special occasion where a franchise's savior gave up 113 million dollars. This goes beyond normal operating procedures so it takes a unique solution to make-good on Jalen's faith in the organization. That being said, this brotha came up with a good idea:
Really all the Knicks should do is max him out on his next contract and get him some endorsements to cover the money! That’s easy and fair…
 
D, I'm not arguing with you, but would be discussing this with "Becky."

Bob Cousy of the Boston Celtics won the NBA Most Valuable Player award for the 1956-57 season. During his MVP campaign, Cousy averaged 20.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 7.5 assists per game, and also led the Celtics to their first NBA Championship.

He was listed at 6'1.
Feels like these are outliers though…..infeel
What she was saying. Brunson himself was a second rounder despite being a great college player.

I'm sorry...

Hard to hear with all these championship winning cheers nationwide.
I’m tone deaf with the 6 my team won in my lifetime.. eardrums blew out within 8 yrs that my team won 6

Well, we will wait and see if Becky Hammon decides to stick with her stance about smaller guards, who happen to be the best player on their team in the NBA.

However, to counter her position I offered:
1. Bob Cousy (MVP 1956 -1957)
2. Isiah Thomas
3. Steph Curry
4. Jalen Brunson

Albeit, it makes for an interesting discussion, and of course she is entitled to her opinion.

Nevertheless, one must take into consideration that she said:

"If your best player is small you're not winning."
 
The Knicks finished with a 119.9 offensive rating, 104.5 defensive rating and a +15.4 net rating in the playoffs, all of which ranked first.

Data on the NBA's stats site goes back to 1997, which was the start of the play-by-play era.

In that time, no champion had a better net rating.

*Real-World Meaning

Think of net rating as the true measure of a team's dominance. It answers the question: If two teams played on a perfectly equal playing field (100 possessions each), how many points would one team win by?

A net rating of +15.4 means the Knicks were blowing teams out on both ends of the floor. They were the undisputed top team in the league. [1]
 
The Knicks won 13 straight playoff games, the second-longest postseason winning streak in NBA history, trailing only the 2017 Golden State Warriors. They finished 16-3 — a top-10 winning percentage among all playoff teams and tied for second-best since the postseason format shifted to seven-game series in every round back in 2003. They outscored their opponents en route to the NBA championship by a combined 283 points — far and away the largest point differential in playoff history.

Their +14.9 average margin of victory in these playoffs is the highest of any team to play at least four playoff games (shout out to the 1956 Minneapolis Lakers). They are the first team in NBA history to win three closeout playoff games by 20-plus points — and they won them all by 30-plus. They owned the postseason's No. 1 offense and defense, and their net rating — +15.4 points per 100 possessions — blew away every team in the play-by-play era, which stretches back to the 1996-97 season, with only the Shaq-Kobe 2001 Lakers (+13.4) and the Year 1 Durant-era Warriors (+12.9) even coming within spitting distance.


 
Told everyone since 2000 the earth fell into the twilight zone.. how do I know wtc is fell down, trump became president twice, we had a pandemic, and the Knicks won a championship

If I told you in 1999 that all this was gonna happen in the next 26 yrs , you would’ve thought I was crazy or joking.. yet we are here.. just waiting for that white guy to pop out and say we in the twilight zone with the music playing
