Mitch Johnson deciding to let Brunson shoot is just hilarious. I love Mitch Johnson.

I’ve been lurking here from Italy since… forever (2011?). I was with you guys through the Isiah multi-faced debacles, vaseline-sniffing Stef, JeromeJames-Eddy Curry-broken down Joakim Noah, TDDWTDD, Jorts, Phil Jackson hired to do the only thing he can’t do in basketball, Mudiay and Frankie Smokes et cetera.
Every day in the last month I was on the verge of writing something, but I refrained, worried that I might jinx it all (Max and Farfa – shout out to them – know we’re pretty superstitious in Italy 🙂
And now this. The Tip. OG stoic face. Brunson’s clutchiness. Pollicino-Alvarado! Towns turning into a butterfly. Mike Brown outcoaching his rivals. Josh Hart doing it all (and being saved). Mitch gassed and bricking and still beloved. Landry hitting everything until he stopped. Mikal’s heroics (send’em more picks!). Method Man. The universe loving Brian Cronin. And the nagging fear that this couldn’t be real. And then Mitch’s Rebound. And Jalen fuckin’ Brunson!!! I just wanted to rejoice in person with you for once, my Knicks family at large. Thank you for everything.
Ps: I had the pleasure to watch Mo Ndour’s sweet-and-infamous midrange jumper take my Italian team to the playoffs finals and to second place in regular season (both all time team records) in the last couple of years, so now everything is vindicated. Send him his ring. 🙂

I’m a fucking mess right now. Been waiting for this moment for my ENTIRE life. One of the greatest moments of my life right now.

Brunson is just so authentic. How can you not love the guy.

I’ve waited my whole life for this
It doesn’t feel real yet
Thank you all for waiting all these years with me
I love you guys

Mitch Johnson deciding to let Brunson shoot is just hilarious. I love Mitch Johnson.
Send him a ring, and Wemby too, since he said to Mitch “i’m in your head” it was all downhill from there… don’t play with karma!

Love you all!
This is so much more special that I’ve been able to share all of these years with you. What a fucking ride.

Tears Of Joy!

Clyde smiling was so great to see 🙂

I never thought I’d see this
2
I love what a mess Brunson was in that interview.
This team deserves it. And as the British announcer said “after years of Lou Amundson and Andrea Bargnani the Knicks fans richly deserve this.”
He can hang out here anytime, with some of the greatest people I will never meet in real life, the best people you could ever hope to spill digital ink with.
You guys are the best.

It was 2 months ago when I thought we were dead in the water and then everything fucking changed, starting with KAT playing team ball and Brunson letting him cook

I haven’t posted in months. Why? Every time I posted the Knicks lost so I stopped. This is my first post since then!
I’m in tears, sitting on my bed in a hotel in Verona Italy. I had to watch the entire finals in Italy, at 2:30 in the morning!

Tampering works

Knicks going 5 vs 8 every game and still pulled it out in 5!!
Unbelievable!!! Not even ‘The Extender” could stop this ship.

Okay I’ll take that Larry O’Brien now

D’Aaron Fox co-MVP.

Just want to say, I can’t imagine a better, smarter, funnier group of people to go on this long, painful, winding journey with. Love you all.

I can’t think straight, I’m shaking, I’m crying, I’m laughing, my head feels light.
After all these years there are a lot of things to say,

LOVE YOU GUYS, WE DID IT!

Leon Rose, all the flowers

I am 38 year old man crying. I love this team. I love this city. I love my fellow fans

It’s hilarious how Ernie Johnson is SO choked up about this win. Like, why does HE give so much of a shit about it?

Welcome Knicksfaninmilan, and welcome back GoNYGoNYGo… i missed you man, but we’ve done it! 😉 🙂

I am halfway around the world in Mongolia, but didn’t feel alone at one of the best moments of my life because of you all… Thanks for the community. Thanks for the humor during the bad years. Thanks for the analytics and education. Thanks.

I think I’m in shock, like I’m going to wake up tomorrow and this will have been all a dream!!

Fox and Mitch Johnson HAVE to be gone by next season after that spectacle.
All you guys are the best. Greatest sports community ever. They actually did it.

Coach went Wild!

When my dad died in 2012 I thought I would never have another outlet for my Knicks outbursts. This group was something special and now we have climbed the mountaintop together.

Mike brown is out there …

Congrats again to everyone! Such fun!

I love this blog, and I wouldn’t be as crazy about this team as I am without all of you. Much love.

New York Knicks are the first team in NBA history to win the Cup Championship and NBA Finals in same season.

Mike Brown.needs a Xanax more than JK
OG! OG!

I am 38 year old man crying. I love this team. I love this city. I love my fellow fans
Don’t worry, a 52 yo man is crying too! 😉
2
After the ECF last year and the Nesmith/Hailburton game, I don’t know if I’ve ever felt lower as a fan. It really felt like that was our best shot at that time. Having to get through that to get to this? Worth every painful second.
1
You can’t win a championship with a small PG
You can’t win a championship with a bad defender at C
You can’t win a championship without building through the draft
You can’t win a championship trading 5 picks for a role player
The Knicks can’t win a championship
3
Don’t worry, a 52 yo man is crying too! 😉
41 and I’ve been crying since Wemby threw up that last shot.
1
Thanks cyber!
OG doesn’t break character even at this moment! 🙂 Love it

This team is so goddamn special, it is genuinely inspiring how they never gave up and clawed their way to being champions refs be damned.

Lmao at Hart talking about the picks for Bridges.

Poor Donte though.

Never thought id see kat hoisting that trophy

I’ve been on this blog for over half my life. I spend more time complaining about the Knicks here than talking to my friends. This can’t be real.

MAX EXTENSIONS FOR EVERYBODY!!!

For how many minutes did we lead in this series. Like six? Hahaha.

35 and I’m in my car because I needed to get away from everyone to cry and read KBer

No longer in purgatory! Finally in Paradisio!! JB was our Beatrice! Let’s gooooo!!!
1
I’m here with my son and the two guys that I got season tickets with the day they drafted Ewing. I can’t express how fucking happy and relieved we are! Love to all KBers who have been loyal throughout!
2
Mitch should have gotten a shot at the mic as a longest tenured Knick but it’s ok…
Happy he had a couple critical plays at the end there
2
I’ve been waiting for this as a fan for over 35 years. And now it’s real. We did it!
I can’t even really comment bc I just am speechless and it doesn’t feel real. I’ll probably need a day before I can really write about what this means.
1
Clyde looks so happy
2
No longer in purgatory! Finally in Paradisio!! JB was our Beatrice! Let’s gooooo!!!
The view from the mezzanine has never been better
1
It’s time that Adam Silver hear from Knick fans that 5 on 8 basketball is not fair. There’s NO QUESTION in my mind that the NBA did everything they could to keep the Spurs in the series. There were at least 10 no-call flagrant fouls on the dirtiest player in the NBA.
Happy he had a couple critical plays at the end there
Mitch’s rebound was huge! Happy he didn’t have to shoot free throws at the end.
1
Cool ass squad.
The is team man. This might be my favorite team ever. Up there with the great Yankees teams.
1
When I was a kid I was in the Knicks kids fan club. I used to put out every poster, the little pennant, everything that came in the box for every game. I cried when they lost against Houston. Now I’m shaking 30+ years later. I can’t wait to rock the Champions Jacket I just ordered! Especially in Nashville. Lol
1
Been lurking for years and rarely post, but man I love you guys. What a year, what a team, what a group of online folks. Love this team, love you weirdos
2
I can’t believe Brunson did what he just did.
What a ridiculous, out of body performance. Against that defense, against the level of contact that was allowed. Insane. Historic.
3
I love all of you guys.
2
I’m here with my son and the two guys that I got season tickets with the day they drafted Ewing. I can’t express how fucking happy and relieved we are! Love to all KBers who have been loyal throughout!
Go party, my friend! We deserve this! 😉
1
What a slugfest. 36% from the field versus 38% from the field.
Getting to share this momentous achievement and the journey to it with the KB group has exponentially expanded the joy I have. I have learned so much about the game on here. Thanks to all. Much love to all, especially our overseas brothers who soldier on sleep deprived for the cause.
2
It was fitting Mitch secured this win with that rebound.
2
Very rarely post here but lurking since 2011. Fan since ‘89 out in Australia.
What a fucking fairytale run. We deserve every moment of this. Love to all of you. In shock, we fucking did itttttttt

Wow wow wow. So many heartbreaking and not good moments over the years. I’m 46. This just fills my heart. You all are awesome too. I love the blog. Been mostly a reader over the years and sometimes poster. But much love of it and you all.

I just wish this happened at the Garden. NY deserves this. The Knicks own New York!

( Huck will be able to tell his kids and grandkids that he rocked a + 3 in the championship game)

Happy he had a couple critical plays at the end there
It was poetic, Mitch deserved it, and i hope this gets his mental problems to go away. We did it, Mitch, celebrate it as much as you can! 🙂

I’m feeling extra satisfaction from beating this Spurs team and Wemby.
3
I’m going to watch the entire playoff run again during the summer. Glorious!
1
I guess the Hawks are the second-best team in the NBA.
3
Brunson is limping off the court.
Never thought I’d see this day as a fan. So much disappointment all these years. I can’t believe this. Congrats to everyone and all us Knicks fans
2
Want to thank all of you who contribute to this blog… got me through a lot of years of pretty miserable basketball. You all are the best. Congratulations to us!
2
I was thinking the same thing about Mitch — they should’ve had him speak up there

How bad does DeAaron Fox suck
Kat taking pics with Ewing…nice

So happy Patrick is there for this

I guess the Hawks are the second-best team in the NBA.
Brian, you’re THE MAN !! 😉
I guess the Hawks are the second-best team in the NBA.
well third because analytically the cavs just won the title
2
Wemby two weak games in a row. I’m shocked
1
How bad does DeAaron Fox suck
I just ADORE that Mitch Johnson kept going with him over and over and over and over and over again.

AAAAAHAHAHASSSSAGEMFGIGMCZAQ&$&!!!!
OUR BOYS DID IT!!!! THEY FUCKING DID IT!!!

AHAHAHHA I DONT WANT YOUR FUCKING WHACK ASS CONGRATULATORY PHONE CALLS YOU FUCKING TROLLS!!!!!!!!

The Oak and Sweeny close-out!
2
Mitch Johnson about JB “he’s a heck of a player, he deserves everything he’s got”
2
Letting Fox shoot long 2 after long 2 as the Knicks closed the gap was one of the most insane things I’ve seen a coach do.
1
Also F you Wemby
2
well third because analytically the cavs just won the title
LOLOL
Atkinson will be mad he doesn’t get the analytical ring !! 😀
6
How incredible is this! We close them out in 5..on the road for the chip while playing 5 on 8 ALL FUCKIN SERIES!
This will live forever as possibly the greatest single championship in NBA history considering the wait, the city, somehow underdog superstar, and the officiating.
I wanna make sure I’m gracious and appreciate the Spurs. Such a good fuckin team. I love the way they play defense and they have a truly transcendent player. Unfortunately for them, the coach and the roster just didn’t have enough experience. But they do now. I fully expect them to be back in the Finals next season.
But make no mistake- what our Knicks did is phenomenal. Down double digits in every game but won in 5 as the underdog. Beat 2 teams in one series. The Spurs and The Refs. A naysayer better not have a muthafuckin thing to say outside of “Congratulations, job well done” about this championship.
Knicks for-fuckin-EVER
Side Note:
I still don’t forgive Charles Smith lmao
2
“Had that been called a flagrant, Wemby would have had to sit game six.”
Chuck: “He can still sit game six.” Hahaha.
3
All the demons have been exorcised! Bargnani is forgiven! Ron Baker is forgiven! Howard Eisley is forgiven! WE CAN NEVER AGAIN COMPLAIN ABOUT INCINERATED PICKS!
I can’t fucking believe they did it. I saw the Yankees win the World Series in person in 96. I was at the Mr November game. I watched the giants take down the unbeatable Patriots (on tv). None of that holds a candle to how I feel about this.
4
They should still upgrade the Wemby foul and let him sit on opening night.
3
OUR BOYS DID IT!!!! THEY FUCKING DID IT!!!
CDiggy, don’t troll the trolls back, it’ll hurt even more. 😉
And enjoy this, man, it’s a f*ck*ng amazing feeling!
Letting Fox shoot long 2 after long 2 as the Knicks closed the gap was one of the most insane things I’ve seen a coach do.
It was truly astonishing. Just one of the most insane coaching jobs I’ve ever seen.
I just wish someone recorded what was said in the locker room after game three of the first round.
Can’t wait for the doc about this season.
To be fair, Castle gave them nothing tonight.
Do you think now we will hang the cup banner too?
To be fair, Castle gave them nothing tonight.
True, part of the problem with Fox was that his teammates were all choking, and he at least had the confidence to keep chucking like a moron.
Katz: “ The most KAT thing of all time — he was holding up the walkway off the court because he wanted to share the trophy with Knicks fans, so he stopped and leaned into the stands to let a bunch of them touch it. They reacted like it was the best moment of their lives.”
“Had that been called a flagrant, Wemby would have had to sit game six.”
Chuck: “He can still sit game six.” Hahaha.
LOL
How weird must it have been for Clyde to do the voiceovers for that commercial?
Can we give a collective shout out to our Knicks physio staff. A season of game balls for each of them.
4
It was truly astonishing. Just one of the most insane coaching jobs I’ve ever seen.
And then with 5 minutes left in their elimination game, he took Wemby off the floor for Kornet!
Unbelievable. Congratulations folks. Didn’t think this would happen in my lifetime

Letting Fox shoot long 2 after long 2 as the Knicks closed the gap was one of the most insane things I’ve seen a coach do.
Over multiple games! I can’t believe Pop is watching this.
Yal! We..we fuckin champions!
I’m scared to go to sleep tonight because, what if I wake up and this was just a dream??
What’s really crazy is how absolutely unworried I was for almost the entire series. We were down 10 in the 4th and there was so little stress. Part of why it feels so unreal
2
Letting Fox shoot long 2 after long 2 as the Knicks closed the gap was one of the most insane things I’ve seen a coach do.
There I started thinking, These morons, we might really win this, I couldn’t believe my eyes.
I can’t still wrap my head around the sequence “non-flagrant on Wemby stepping under JB ankle / no foul called when Mikal got hit in the face”. Winning with this refereeing is truly a sight to behold :)))
1
Never thought anybody would replace Ewing as my favorite Knick ever but officially Brunson is not only my favorite Knick ever but might be my 2nd favorite athlete ever after Jeter.

That’s been me since Hawks Game 5!

Is Wemby at the presser still saying how he’s sure they’ll win
1
It won’t be remembered as such because we won in 5, but this has been one of the best NBA Finals.
2
Love you all. Thanks for talking me through the past 12 or so years.
2
It won’t be remembered as such because we won in 5, but this has been one of the best NBA Finals.
Yeah, that’s what I was saying the other day, that I am THRILLED that they won, but it DOES hurt a LITTLE bit that the greatness of this Finals won’t be duly appreciated.

How much coke do you think Chalamet consumed through this playoff run?

Is Wemby at the presser still saying how he’s sure they’ll win
LOL
Never thought anybody would replace Ewing as my favorite Knick ever but officially Brunson is not only my favorite Knick ever but might be my 2nd favorite athlete ever after Jeter.
I feel the same, minus the Jeter thing. Brunson is my new GKOAT…really need to workshop a better acronym for that.
Ernie Johnson just said the Knicks lead for all of 56 or so minutes during this series. IN-FRICKIN-CREDIBLE

ORANGE AND BLUE SKIES
Wow wow wow. So many heartbreaking and not good moments over the years. I’m 46. This just fills my heart. You all are awesome too. I love the blog. Been mostly a reader over the years and sometimes poster. But much love of it and you all.
I just wish this happened at the Garden. NY deserves this. The Knicks own New York!
( Huck will be able to tell his kids and grandkids that he rocked a + 3 in the championship game)
It was poetic, Mitch deserved it, and i hope this gets his mental problems to go away. We did it, Mitch, celebrate it as much as you can! 🙂
I’m feeling extra satisfaction from beating this Spurs team and Wemby.
I’m going to watch the entire playoff run again during the summer. Glorious!
I guess the Hawks are the second-best team in the NBA.
Brunson is limping off the court.
Never thought I’d see this day as a fan. So much disappointment all these years. I can’t believe this. Congrats to everyone and all us Knicks fans
Want to thank all of you who contribute to this blog… got me through a lot of years of pretty miserable basketball. You all are the best. Congratulations to us!
I was thinking the same thing about Mitch — they should’ve had him speak up there
How bad does DeAaron Fox suck
Kat taking pics with Ewing…nice
So happy Patrick is there for this
Brian, you’re THE MAN !! 😉
I guess the Hawks are the second-best team in the NBA.
well third because analytically the cavs just won the title
Wemby two weak games in a row. I’m shocked
I just ADORE that Mitch Johnson kept going with him over and over and over and over and over again.
AAAAAHAHAHASSSSAGEMFGIGMCZAQ&$&!!!!
OUR BOYS DID IT!!!! THEY FUCKING DID IT!!!
AHAHAHHA I DONT WANT YOUR FUCKING WHACK ASS CONGRATULATORY PHONE CALLS YOU FUCKING TROLLS!!!!!!!!
The Oak and Sweeny close-out!
Mitch Johnson about JB “he’s a heck of a player, he deserves everything he’s got”
Letting Fox shoot long 2 after long 2 as the Knicks closed the gap was one of the most insane things I’ve seen a coach do.
Also F you Wemby
LOLOL
Atkinson will be mad he doesn’t get the analytical ring !! 😀
How incredible is this! We close them out in 5..on the road for the chip while playing 5 on 8 ALL FUCKIN SERIES!
This will live forever as possibly the greatest single championship in NBA history considering the wait, the city, somehow underdog superstar, and the officiating.
I wanna make sure I’m gracious and appreciate the Spurs. Such a good fuckin team. I love the way they play defense and they have a truly transcendent player. Unfortunately for them, the coach and the roster just didn’t have enough experience. But they do now. I fully expect them to be back in the Finals next season.
But make no mistake- what our Knicks did is phenomenal. Down double digits in every game but won in 5 as the underdog. Beat 2 teams in one series. The Spurs and The Refs. A naysayer better not have a muthafuckin thing to say outside of “Congratulations, job well done” about this championship.
Knicks for-fuckin-EVER
Side Note:
I still don’t forgive Charles Smith lmao
“Had that been called a flagrant, Wemby would have had to sit game six.”
Chuck: “He can still sit game six.” Hahaha.
All the demons have been exorcised! Bargnani is forgiven! Ron Baker is forgiven! Howard Eisley is forgiven! WE CAN NEVER AGAIN COMPLAIN ABOUT INCINERATED PICKS!
I can’t fucking believe they did it. I saw the Yankees win the World Series in person in 96. I was at the Mr November game. I watched the giants take down the unbeatable Patriots (on tv). None of that holds a candle to how I feel about this.
They should still upgrade the Wemby foul and let him sit on opening night.
CDiggy, don’t troll the trolls back, it’ll hurt even more. 😉
And enjoy this, man, it’s a f*ck*ng amazing feeling!
It was truly astonishing. Just one of the most insane coaching jobs I’ve ever seen.
I just wish someone recorded what was said in the locker room after game three of the first round.
Can’t wait for the doc about this season.
To be fair, Castle gave them nothing tonight.
Do you think now we will hang the cup banner too?
True, part of the problem with Fox was that his teammates were all choking, and he at least had the confidence to keep chucking like a moron.
Katz: “ The most KAT thing of all time — he was holding up the walkway off the court because he wanted to share the trophy with Knicks fans, so he stopped and leaned into the stands to let a bunch of them touch it. They reacted like it was the best moment of their lives.”
Also, Fred’s book is now available for preorder: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Under-the-Bright-Lights/Fred-Katz/9781668204832?utm_campaign=under_the_bright_lights&utm_content=&utm_medium=author_social&utm_source=author_post
LOL
How weird must it have been for Clyde to do the voiceovers for that commercial?
Can we give a collective shout out to our Knicks physio staff. A season of game balls for each of them.
And then with 5 minutes left in their elimination game, he took Wemby off the floor for Kornet!
Unbelievable. Congratulations folks. Didn’t think this would happen in my lifetime
Over multiple games! I can’t believe Pop is watching this.
Yal! We..we fuckin champions!
I’m scared to go to sleep tonight because, what if I wake up and this was just a dream??
What’s really crazy is how absolutely unworried I was for almost the entire series. We were down 10 in the 4th and there was so little stress. Part of why it feels so unreal
There I started thinking, These morons, we might really win this, I couldn’t believe my eyes.
I can’t still wrap my head around the sequence “non-flagrant on Wemby stepping under JB ankle / no foul called when Mikal got hit in the face”. Winning with this refereeing is truly a sight to behold :)))
Never thought anybody would replace Ewing as my favorite Knick ever but officially Brunson is not only my favorite Knick ever but might be my 2nd favorite athlete ever after Jeter.
That’s been me since Hawks Game 5!
Is Wemby at the presser still saying how he’s sure they’ll win
It won’t be remembered as such because we won in 5, but this has been one of the best NBA Finals.
Love you all. Thanks for talking me through the past 12 or so years.
Yeah, that’s what I was saying the other day, that I am THRILLED that they won, but it DOES hurt a LITTLE bit that the greatness of this Finals won’t be duly appreciated.
How much coke do you think Chalamet consumed through this playoff run?
LOL
I feel the same, minus the Jeter thing. Brunson is my new GKOAT…really need to workshop a better acronym for that.
Ernie Johnson just said the Knicks lead for all of 56 or so minutes during this series. IN-FRICKIN-CREDIBLE
