Last weekend, once the NBA Finals matchup was officially set between the New York Knicks and the San Antonio Spurs, I wrote about why I believe this is the perfect NBA Finals for the NBA. You have the future face of the league in Victor Wembanyama, who has already established himself as arguably the best player in basketball, going up against one of the sport's most iconic franchises in the league's biggest market. New York is a basketball-starved city looking for their baske
For most of this NBA season, it felt like a foregone conclusion that the Oklahoma City Thunder were going to be back in the NBA Finals and be competing for a second straight championship. After all, this was a team that came into the season as the defending champions. They started the year on an incredible run, opening the season at 24-1 and conversations began about whether they could challenge the historic 73-win record set by the Golden State Warriors during the 2015-16 se

And right now, this is just the culmination of a complete revival of a once storied organization. The Knicks in the 1970s were one of the great organizations in the NBA (and is the last decade they captured a championship in) and in the 1990s, they made the NBA Finals twice, but just couldn’t ca
Listen, I know Adam Silver and the NBA have taken a lot of criticism over the past few years, even from a guy like me who loves the league. I've had my fair share of issues with it, whether it be the play-in tournament, as I think 82 games is enough to decide playoff teams throughout a regular season. Whether it's the NBA Cup, which I don't really think has picked up a full head of steam, whether it's how the contract structure is now, or players sitting out more games than t
