Former Knicks CEO Dave Checketts says Michael Jordan is the only player whose playoff game failed to sell out—and believes he’d have at least four rings if Jordan never existed “When I went to the Knicks in 1991, we played the Chicago Bulls in the first round of the... playoffs.” “We got beat in the first game by 41 points.” “We came home for Game 3, and this is a moment in history because it’s the only time in history that a Michael Jordan playoff game failed to sell out.” “The New Yorkers just turned their nose. They just said, ‘You have no chance.’” “We sold 6,000 seats in the Garden for Michael Jordan in that playoff series. It was embarrassing.” “I feel like if Michael had never been born, I’d have four rings—two with the Jazz and two with the Knicks—at least.”show more

Kevin Johnson says he had to pray before guarding Michael Jordan in the NBA Finals: “Dan Marley, great defensive player guarded Jordan the first two games. Jordan averaged 45, and we down 0-2 and we had home court. We go game three. Paul Westfall, our head coach, says Kevin, we trust you. You gonna guard Michael Jordan. I’m thinking this don’t even make no sense. The best defensive player can’t guard Michael Jordan. How in the world you going to put me on Michael Jordan? I guard him. Like, I didn’t know for sure if it was real till before the game when you put the matchups on the chalkboard and they like, you know, BJ Armstrong and Jordan and Pippen, the whole team. I’m just dear Lord, please don’t put my name next to Michael Jordan. You know, you just hope he don’t put my name next to him, when he did I was like Oh my god.” (Via Byron Scott Fast Break)

Listen, Austin Reaves is great, but the question alone is flat-out INSULTING. Luka Doncic is 2nd only in NBA history to Michael Jordan in playoff points-per-game, and has multiple playoff game-winners + a buzzer beater 🗣️🗣️ What are we doing?? 😂😂

“Even the years when the Knicks were terrible, there’d be a game in early April - They’d been out of playoff contention for two months. And if it’s a one point game with two minutes to go, The Garden sounds like it’s Game Seven of the finals.”

Kelly Oubre Jr. feels that the Sixers' quick turnaround following their series win over the Celtics played a factor in their Game 1 loss to the Knicks: "I would say so, yeah. It was a quick turnaround. We had to travel, didn't have a full practice before the game. In my time, I remember in the playoffs, you always had at least a practice before the game. If we were able to get some rest, get some recovery, and then get a good practice in...we would've been a little bit more prepared. But we don't make the schedule. We just have to go out there and play."

Isiah Thomas says every NBA player today is still benefiting financially from what Michael Jordan built “What Michael Jordan did for the NBA… we all still eating off of that.” “At that time, being president of the Players Association, we were getting 53% of the gross.” “We got 53 cents on every dollar that came in.” “Michael Jordan was good for business.” “What Michael Jordan did for the NBA and our league, he took it to a level that none of us could.” “We appreciate him for that.” “We honor him for that.” “We’re still getting paid off of that.” “Business-wise, great move. Marketing-wise, great move.” “When he came in, he came in with a megaphone with Nike.” “We had never seen nothing like that.” “The commercials and everything they did… that was good for us.” “It was good for everybody.” “It was good for him.” “Those are the facts.” “Michael Jordan made a lot of money for this league.”

Kevin Johnson telling a story about guarding Michael Jordan in the finals “So we fly in from Phoenix to Chicago. I fall asleep on the plane and then the head coach wakes me up, right? He says, Hey, I just want to let you know, game three is going to be your game. Said, Cool. You know I believe that I’m going to have a bounce back. He said you are guarding Michael Jordan. And I’m thinking we down 0-2 our best player is getting scorched. Know you going to put me who had a rough two games on Michael Jordan, right? So I go back to sleep. Plane land. I wake up. I’m like, damn I had a nightmare. I thought the coach came and told me I’m guarding Michael Jordan. We walking off the plane. The coach was right there. And I’m like I had this dream you came and woke me up and told me you want me to guard Michael Jordan. He said, you are. God as my witness we get on the team bus we take it from the airport we staying at the hotel downtown. I get off the bus. I tell equipment manager to take my bags. I see a church across the street. I walk straight in that church and sit in the front row and I’m like, Jesus, I don’t believe in you no more. There’s no way if you loved me and died on the cross and did all the things you would be having me guard Michael Jordan” (Via Club520podcast)

Charles Barkley explains why every NBA Star owes Michael Jordan Shannon Sharpe: How different would your career have been if you weren’t drafted and played in the era of Michael Jordan? Do you win a title? Charles Barkley: That’s a great question. I don’t know, but I’m glad I played in his era because you want to play against a great player. If it wasn’t for Michael Jordan, I wouldn’t make millions of dollars from Nike a year. LeBron, Kobe, we all wouldn’t make millions of dollars from Nike a year if it wasn’t for Michael Jordan. None of us had a shoe deal until Michael, none of us shot commercials until Michael. Whether you want to debate who’s the greatest, that guy is the reason we make the money we make. I always felt bad that I wasn’t able to bring a championship to Phoenix, I was getting so depressed in Philly because I was saying to myself, “Damn… am I not good at basketball?” Then they called me for the Dream Team, I was like, “Damn, I am pretty good.” When I got traded to Phoenix, I told those guys, “I think I’m the best basketball player in the world, we’re going to play the Bulls for the championship. Michael Jordan just had some more help.” Then we played the Bulls, and he just kicked our ass. I told the guys, “That guy sent me a message tonight. I didn’t like the message, but I received it.” We got to the Finals, and that’s the first time in my life I said, “Damn, that guy’s better at basketball than me.”

Nick Wright says the Knicks have just completed the single most dominant month of basketball in the history of the league: “The Knicks have the record for most lopsided three game stretch in playoffs history, is the 2026 Knicks. The record for the most lopsided four game stretch in playoffs history, is the 2026 Knicks. The record for the most lopsided 5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13 and now 14 game stretch in playoffs history all belong to the Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns, Mikal Bridges, OG Anunoby, Josh Hart, Mike Brown New York Knicks.

Jalen Brunson is the most clutch player of our generation. Not a hot take. A pattern. He's led the NBA in playoff clutch points three postseasons in a row. He and Kobe Bryant are the only two players in NBA history to lead the league in total playoff clutch points for three consecutive seasons. The Spurs led by double digits in all five games. The Knicks won four of them. Every single win was a comeback. • Game 1, he scored 13 in the fourth. • Game 4, down 29, he put up 36. • Game 5, on the road, 45 points. Thirteen straight for New York in the fourth. Broke Willis Reed's franchise Finals record that stood since 1970. Since quarter data has been tracked, no player has averaged more fourth quarter points in the Finals. Brunson's at 11.2. Nobody else has ever cracked 10. And one more number nobody's ready for. Since 1997, only one player has scored at a higher rate in playoff crunch time than Brunson. Michael Jordan. Take out free throws and Brunson passes him. Guys spend whole careers chasing one moment like this. It's just another day at the office for Brunson. The clutch gene isn't a myth. It just plays point guard for the Knicks.

We’re going to play the Bulls for the championship. Michael Jordan just has more help. I’m just as good as him.’” “Then we played the Bulls, and he kicked our ass.” “I knew he was sending us a message because he thought we’d see them again in the Finals.” “When we finally got to the NBA Finals, I had my chance to prove my point.” “That was the first time in my life I said, ‘Damn… that guy’s better at basketball than me.’”

Michael Jordan has never come on record and said he’s not a leader, Michael Jordan led the pack. Michael Jordan was first in sprints, Michael Jordan took pride in playing 80 plus games competing on both ends of the floor. Michael Jordan was not that guy, he didn’t run situations people ran to him. So, when you talk about KD, like, to me and I respect Isaiah Thomas but I’m disagreeing with him on this basketball take.
