President Donald Trump and Ultimate Fighting Championship CEO Dana White arrived to attend mixed martial arts bouts at a specially built arena on the White House’s South Lawn
Jalen Brunson was LOCKED IN 🔥
The 2026 NBA Finals MVP was special in last night's close out win, dropping 15 of his 45 PTS in the 4Q to lead the Knicks to their first championship in 53 years!
do you understand what the New York Knicks just did to 53 years of suffering...
every fan who lived through this knows the number. 1973.
Willis Reed. The limp. That's the last time this franchise won anything.
Since then: 15 coaches, 4 rebuilds, the Isiah Thomas era, the James Dolan era, the lottery picks that never worked, the trades that always failed, the Garden that became a punchline.
53 years and last night it ended in San Antonio, 94-91, Game 5
> 53 years - that's longer than most NBA players have been alive. the entire city of New York waited a lifetime for this
> Knicks won 15 of their last 16 playoff games - the most dominant postseason run in franchise history
> 11 consecutive playoff wins all by double digits - highest scoring margin +262 points of any postseason team in NBA history
> defeated Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs 4-1 - the kid who was supposed to be the next dynasty, gone in 5
> Jalen Brunson. Karl-Anthony Towns. built through patience, not superteam shortcuts
> Donald Trump personally congratulated Jim Dolan on social media. even the president felt this one
Think about the fan who was 25 in 1973 watching Willis Reed walk out of that tunnel.
They're 78 now. they watched Game 5 last night.
That's who this championship is really for.
Every city has a curse. New York just buried theirs.
