Jalen Brunson is the Captain.
He is the leader.
He was not going to let them lose.
Series MVP.
His number is going to be in the rafters.
One of the greatest Knicks and New York athletes of all time.

Jalen Brunson delivered an offensive masterclass, and the defense was relentless. The team was always built with championship caliber, once again showing resilience and coming back from a 20+ point deficit. In game four, the Knicks made NBA Finals history by storming back to win 107-106 after being down by 29 points at halftime. It was the greatest comeback in finals history, giving them a commanding 3-1 lead in the series
The San Antonio Spurs once again built a double-digit lead in game five, playing fast, frisky, and frenetic on both ends of the court, but the Knicks, as they’ve shown during this playoff run, just wear you down. Knicks sealed the deal 94-90, winning 4-1 in Texas.
As Knicks fans, we’ve endured misery for decades, including darker times when, for more than a few seasons, this organization had teams that won fewer than 20 games. The wait is over. We’re back on top of the world.
I’ve waited my whole life for this moment, 27 years if you want to specify—the last time the Knicks made it to the Finals—and now we celebrate.
I can’t really say much more than this was absolute cinema.
Good game, San Antonio.
Let’s go, Knicks!!!
