Now I have to write about the Knicks. It just hasn’t fully sunk in yet that they won the East. You get to put a banner up for that. And next week we’ll be watching them in the NBA finals. But it’s the team that matters, not the trophies. Brunson is great, despite what I wrote after they went down 2-1 vs the Hawks in the first round. But the other players are great too in different ways. And there are so many of them, not just the starters. Every one with a distinct personality and all of them super smart and committed to the team and each other. What makes it work? You can see it in how they play — trust. They trust each other. Their fates are intertwined. And they knew it before they had this amazing streak of wins in the post-season. I love the Knicks even when they lose. I’m not sure how you love them when they are champions. We’ll figure it out. #
