Dolan will probably refuse to hang the NBA Finals Championship Banner as well, just to spite Silver.

As a lifelong straight, and a lifelong hater of pop-music, I find myself strangely drawn to Harry Styles. Something about that guy shines.

I think we agree on the following positive takeaways:
-It was a blast to watch! Must-see Knicks TV. But then again, I watch everything, from summer league to preseason. Still, this was special, no doubt about it.
-Mike Brown deserves credit for deciding to go all-in on the game, even if an argument can be made that it was unnecessarily risky. He’s trying to built trust, community, confidence, vibes…and to put the Thibs stuff that much further into the rear-view mirror. Clearly it was a great win from a team-building/locker room perspective.
-It was a great win for the fan base and the credibility of the franchise. The pundits and bloggers were all over it. NBA fans of all persuasions got to see the in the most positive light they have been seen in since the Ewing era, maybe even since the Clyde-Willis era.
-The Legend of Jalen Brunson continues to grow, and his performance, in the tournament, on the podium, and in the media frenzy that followed, was first class. He’s certainly the greatest Knicks captain since Willis, and anything that bestows grace upon him is something we can all get behind. As OG would deadpan, Congrats Jalen, well deserved.
-It was great to see OG, Mitch and Kolek have magnificent games against a formidable opponent. We might disagree on what that means going forward, but it was still beautiful. Maybe it’s not Linsanity, but the Kolek hype is definitely a fun thing.

“True exhibitions have no stakes and are arguably non-competitive (or faux-competitive).”

You musta missed Rocky vs. Thunderlips.

I’m with Zman on this all the way. If they wanted a cash game they shoulda had every team ante up. Like 3 million each. I woulda watched that like im waiting to see who won the billion and a quarter power ball.

I totally get it Hubert. My panties are dropping for Harry faster than you can say “vanity fair photo shoot with visible filler injection holes.” You hear that Harry. You can do whatever you want to me.

Another thought on what the cup final should count for — it should ABSOLUTELY count as “a game” for everyone who played in it and who might be eligible for various end-of-season awards. Even if the stats don’t count (which is also stupid).

Just to emphasize, I don’t have an issue with anyone taking anything they want away from this cup game, exhibition or not. My beef is with Adam Silver that we are even having a conversation about it.

lol no Clarence I wasn’t that creepy. I was just scrolling through my instagram feed and night after night it was flooded with footage of happy women at MSG. Happier looking than any Knicks fans, I’ll tell you that.

Being a single woman in NYC is kinda like being a Knicks fan, and Harry was the New Colossus: Give me your tired, your poor, your resting bitch faces yearning to breathe free
