  THE KNICKS ARE CHAMPIONS! NBA Finals Recap & Reaction | The Stepback

  Jun 19, 202650 min

  🏆 THE NEW YORK KNICKS ARE NBA CHAMPIONS. Suge and Josh break down one of the most dramatic Finals in recent memory — five games, three decided by four points or fewer, and New York refusing to let this one slip away. The Knicks close it out in San Antonio, and MSG is going to be loud for a long time. Suge and Josh unpack the full story: how a 3-seed went on an unreal run through the East — sweeping Philly, sweeping Cleveland in the ECF — and then outlasted a battle-tested Spurs squad that had just dethroned OKC in seven games out West. This wasn't a blowout series. This was a war. We're talking about the storylines, the moments, the MVPs, and what this championship means for the franchise, the Garden, and the entire city of New York.
