I was 17 when the Knicks marched heroic but hobbled into the ’99 Finals, following a bone-smashing triumph over the Corn Field Fuckfaces, our brave Achilles felled yet spirits strangely high off the fumes of a four-point mega-miracle that frankly feels in hindsight like the single-most passive-aggressive gift god ever bestowed upon a team and […]

WE FUCKING WON! 3 MORE TO GO!
