"I watched that game on TV and said 'wow, that's me!' That wasn't the norm for me. I got hot, seemed like everything I threw up went in. One of my defining moments in the NBA." - Knicks PG Charlie Ward on his 20 Point outburst in the Knicks win over the Heat on May 14, 2000

On this date in 1950, Earl Lloyd stepped onto the court and into history as the first Black player to play in an NBA game, becoming a Pioneer in the NBA. Fellow NBA Pioneers, Chuck Cooper made his debut for the Boston Celtics on Nov. 1, and Nat "Sweetwater" Clifton made his debut on Nov. 4 for the New York Knicks. The Pioneers' resilience, vision, and leadership fundamentally reshaped the game, laying the foundation for a more dynamic league and inspiring generations to dream bigger and push further. It makes me proud to see current stars Stephen Curry, Jaylen Brown, and Karl-Anthony Towns reflect on the 75th anniversary of these barrier-breaking debut games.

Jeremy Lin on what made this Knicks team so special more than any other Knicks team we’ve seen in the modern era: “It’s team and its grit, right? The team starts with Brunson giving up 113 million. The team starts, you know, in college, them learning how to win, them dealing with pressure, them being clear minded and focused in the clutch in end game situation, getting used to that. Also a lot of credit to Mike Brown coming in and you know, the atmosphere, the culture, the way they talk about each other, you could just feel it. You could feel they really love each other. They root for each other.” (Via Stephen A Smith)

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.

Knicks win the NBA Finals. My quick thoughts: -Team of destiny. Every game this series they were down double digits and found a way to win 4. That's grit, and it's an embodiment of the city itself. They won 15 of their last 16. Historic! -This whole thing starts with Jalen Brunson. His bball IQ might be the best in the league. He manipulated those young Spurs in the pick and roll. Love a good lefty! -Mike Brown finally got his. I've known him for years, and he's been int he game forever, and he put on a coaching masterclass with his staff. Shout out to Chris Jent too. Guy deserves a head coaching gig -OG Anunoby was incredible. Josh Hart was an engine, diving on the floor, squeezing the Spurs late. The Knicks wanted this one, bad! -As for the Spurs, no shame in this. You can't skip steps. They had to go through the heartbreak and they'll be back better for it. Wemby and Dylan Harper have the chance to be the next great All-NBA duo Congrats, New York. The city's gonna be hopping all summer.

Saint Louis’s Dion Brown is one of the best glue guy’s in this year’s NBA Draft. For the season Brown averaged 11/5/2 on 62/40/75 splits in only 24 MPG. While also playing a major role in Saint Louis’s 29-6 record. When it comes to role versatility and impacting the game without the ball in his hands Brown is one of the best in this year’s class. At just 6’4 Brown has the ability to play the 2-4 at a high level with his motor, strength, and instincts. Brown was one of the best finishers in the country this season where he shot 75% at the rim on 170 attempts and was the only non big to do that. Brown is an elite cutter with great instincts to get to his spots, while also being a high level slasher in the half court and he also has the ability to push in transition with and without the ball. Brown is also a strong shooter from three who shot 40% from three. Brown’s mix of shooting and finishing efficiency makes him an extremely valuable player. Brown is also a skilled passer as a connector and creator who uses his ability to get to the rim to find cutting teammates, or uses his passing vision. On the defensive end Brown was one of the best defenders in the A10 with his motor and instincts. Brown is also an elite rebounder for his height who is always attacking the glass. Browns mix of finishing, shooting, versatility, passing, rebounding, off ball scoring and defensive impact makes him one of the most valuable glue guys on any team he plays for.

🏀 In 1992, USA Basketball didn’t just send a team to Barcelona — they sent a message. Jordan. Magic. Bird. Barkley. Pippen. Ewing. Drexler. Malone. Stockton. Mullin. Robinson. And a 19-year-old named Shaquille O’Neal on the bench. 12 Hall of Famers. One roster. They didn’t lose a single game. They won by an average of 44 points. Their closest match was a 32-point win. Opposing players weren’t just beaten — they were asking for autographs and photos before tip-off. Coach Chuck Daly — who had just won back-to-back titles with Detroit — said it was the only job in coaching where he had no stress whatsoever. Because there was nothing to fix. The Dream Team is widely credited with globalising basketball. After Barcelona ’92, NBA viewership exploded worldwide. Kids in Europe, South America, and Asia grew up wanting to be these men. It wasn’t just the greatest team ever assembled. It was the moment basketball became the world’s game. 🏀 #NBA #BasketballHistory

Knicks fans screaming about the league not retroactively upgrading Victor Wembanyama’s foul should actually be counting their blessings tonight. Why? Because while they were focused on Wemby, I'm told the NBA league office was reviewing this entire bench clearing sequence and specifically the actions of Jose Alvarado who previously served a major three-game suspension for having been involved in a nearly identical bench-clearing incident in 2024 against the Miami Heat. When the scuffle kicks off under the basket, several Knicks players leave the bench area in violation of the rules and Alvarado gets right in the middle of the scrum. He is seen pushing, heavily engaged with both Luke Kornet and De'Aaron Fox, waving his finger and escalating the tension getting face to face with Fox. Under the NBA’s strict bench-clearing rules, he is undeniably not acting as a "peacekeeper." The Knicks players left the bench before San Antonio called timeout. If the league had decided to apply the letter of the black and white law regarding bench conduct and physical escalation, as they have multiple times this season, New York could easily be down a crucial backcourt piece or 4 for Game 4. Take the Wembanyama non-upgrade as a wash and be thankful, because the Knicks dodged a massive suspension bullet here. 🧵 #GoSpursGo #PorVida #NBAFinals

Mike Brown has been to seven NBA Finals with four different organizations. He’s coached LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Steph Curry, Tim Duncan, Kevin Durant, and Jalen Brunson. When asked what all championship teams have in common, his answer had nothing to do with those nuclear talents. “The commonality they all had is they all sacrificed for one another. They were all connected. They all had a competitive spirit. And there was a high level of belief... Not just in the process, but in each other.” He was able to boil down years of success in different places to 4 common traits: 🩸 Sacrifice 🎮 Connectivity ⚠️ Ownership ✝️ Belief Championship teams don't win solely because they have the best player. They create a championship environment from ownership starting with the best player all the way to the last player on the bench. The entire organization is willing to surrender something for something bigger than themselves. You need good players, yes... But talent only determines your ceiling. Sacrifice determines your capacity to reach it.

SGA’S EXCELLENCE: FUELING OKC’S DOMINANCE & AN MVP CAMPAIGN “That was a masterpiece,” said Thunder coach Mark Daigneault after Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s 45-point outburst in Thursday’s win over Indiana. “Shai was outstanding … He was at his own pace the entire night. Great blend of passing and attacking. Great blend of shooting and attacking. He just had total control of the wheel.” SGA’s masterful outing extended the Thunder’s league-best win streak to nine games. Tonight, OKC will face Charlotte (6 PM ET, NBA TV), looking to match its longest win streak in a single season since 2013-14 — with Gilgeous-Alexander firmly in the driver’s seat. MVP Level: Ranked third on the Kia NBA MVP Ladder, SGA (31.1 ppg, 6.1 apg, 2.0 spg) is the only player in the league averaging 30+ points, 6+ assists and 2+ steals. Leveling Up: Amid the win streak, he’s elevated his game, averaging an NBA-best 33.8 points and 2.6 steals while raising both his FG% (54.2) and 3P% (37.3). In Thursday’s win, SGA shot 15-of-22 (68.2%) from the floor, 4-of-5 from deep (80%) and 11-for-11 (100%) from the line, becoming just the fourth player in NBA history to score 45+ points on 65/80/100 shooting splits or better. One game prior, he dropped 41 points with three steals and three blocks — a feat no other player has accomplished this season — proving his impact extends well beyond scoring. Since 2018-19, his first NBA season, SGA leads all players in 30+ point, 3+ steal games with 39. In that same span, he ranks first among guards in games of 3+ blocks and 3+ steals with seven. This season, SGA leads the Thunder in total steals (57) and blocks (32), and 72% of their forced turnovers come when he’s on the floor. His all-around excellence drives OKC’s success on both ends — at an unprecedented level — as it’s on pace to become the first team to record more steals than turnovers since turnovers were first tracked in 1977-78. “There’s two sides of the ball on every possession,” said SGA after Monday’s win. “I try to affect the game anywhere I can on every possession and help my team win.” Tonight, the Thunder will not only look to match their longest single-season win streak since 2013-14 but also equal their best 30-game start since moving to Oklahoma City with 25 wins — a mark set by the ’13-14 squad. That team was led by Kevin Durant, who went on to win that season’s Kia NBA MVP. Eleven years later, OKC has another MVP-caliber player leading a historic start.

In my opinion, Tarris Reed Jr. (UConn) would be the most seamless fit for the Knicks in the 2026 NBA Draft. The Knicks have the 24th & 31st pick and have more than enough access to target Reed Jr on the board. There’s even potential for them to move back from 24, acquire more draft capital and still get Reed Jr. Here’s why I love the fit. From a position of need standpoint, he’s a legitimate plug and play NBA Center who can log 10-15 minutes right away. There’s a possibility that the Knicks lose both Mitchell Robinson and Ariel Hukporti to free agency. Reed Jr. comes from a winning program in UConn played for winning obsessed coach in Dan Hurley played in the Big East, which aligns with the Knicks core mentality. In Matchups vs Lottery prospects in the tournament, there were legitimate times where he was the most productive player on the floor. Reed Jr. is a throwback big, bodies dudes in the paint, good touch around the rim. Nice bag that can only improve. UConn is the farthest thing from a iso offense, but Reed jr, bailed them out time and time again with post touches, a look the Knicks don’t really feature and can open up more diversity in their offense. From a scheme standpoint, the Knicks could actually play some high low concepts with Towns and Reed Jr. In addition, Reed Jr, projects to be a really good rebounder and will end possessions on defense and extend possessions on offense. The main concern for me is his versatility on defense, as it relates to being switchable on the perimeter. Day 1? Won’t be anywhere near what Mitch’s ability on film. Mitch is a guy that blocked Kevin Durant on the perimeter, closed out to the whole Boston Celtics team on one possession in game 6, and got a hand up on Wemby at the end of Game 2 in the NBA Finals. Simply put, if the Knicks lose Mitchell Robinson, they cannot replace him. However, I think Reed jr. will adapt to the needs of the NBA game in his own way, which will make him at least serviceable when playing out of drop coverage. There’s also the reality that Reed jr. isn’t a modern day stretch big that’s going to space the floor. While It’s not an accomplishment, I do think he has some more potential than Robinson/Hukporti to step out in space and knock one down eventually. All in all, these are the reasons Tarris Reed Jr. is a slam dunk pick for the Knicks in the 2026 nba draft - Position of need - Rotation player on a rookie deal - Winning Player - High Motor - Plug and Play From Day 1

Draymond Green says he don’t respect everybody in the NBA, Kawhi Leonard is a guy he got the utmost respect for: “I don’t even talk junk to Kawhi Leonard because I have so much respect for him. Like, you talking a special, special player Kawhi is one of the better, top 5 offensive player in our league, he’s also a top 5 defensive player in our league. This man had more steals than fouls on the season. Almost by double. Like, that’s unheard of for someone that defends. But he’s a student of the game, right? So he play clean defense. Kawhi is special man. I heard his comments after the game, later last night I heard his comments. I was flattered because ultimately, as players and I know everybody think like, “Oh man they spoiled they make this amount of money, they stay in this hotel, they do this.” Man it’s hard, it’s hard when every day you on front street, you have a bad game and people say you’re trash and you suck, they dissect your personal life it’s hard. And ultimately what matters to you the most is the respect from your peers and not just any peer, the respect from peers that you respect.” (Via The Draymond Green Show)

This man had more steals than fouls on the season. Almost by double. Like, that’s unheard of for someone that defends. But he’s a student of the game, right? So he play clean defense. Kawhi is special man. I heard his comments after the game, later last night I heard his comments. I was flattered because ultimately, as players and I know everybody think like, “Oh man they spoiled they make this amount of money, they stay in this hotel, they do this.” Man it’s hard, it’s hard when every day you on front street, you have a bad game and people say you’re trash and you suck, they dissect your personal life it’s hard. And ultimately what matters to you the most is the respect from your peers and not just any peer, the respect from peers that you respect.” (Via The Draymond Green Show)

"OG, there's more to life than basketball!" –– OG Anunoby's 8th grade teacher Suzanne Luther On Monday as the Ogugua "OG" Anunoby Court was unveiled at his alma mater Jefferson City High School, Luther formally apologized to the NBA champion for uttering this blasphemy 15 years ago 😂 "It haunts me to this day," Luther said OG accepted her apology "I moved to Jefferson City when I was 4," OG said in his speech. "I'm blessed to have grown up around so many amazing people" "I played college basketball at Indiana…made the NBA and won 2 championships with the Toronto Raptors and New York Knicks." "But it all started with the people who believed in me in Jefferson City, supporting me from day one.” "OG thought he was a baseball player," one of his coaches Jordan Chapman said. "Actually I'm pretty sure OG still thinks he's a baseball player." "When they see OG on the screen and what they hear about him…it's true, it's who he really is," Chapman said. "The person is a million times better than the basketball player," another coach Ray Hughes said. "His character, who he is and what he stands for. That's what I'm so honored to be a part of." OG was also presented with his old violin, which he signed and will now be put on display in the orchestra room. The court is where OG played and returns each summer to host a free basketball camp for boys and girls

In the 2025 playoffs, Shai Gilgeous Alexander attempted the MOST free-throws by a player (217) in the last 14 years. There were tons of viral videos during that run of flops and phantom foul calls that ultimately made fans everywhere question the legitimacy of their eventual NBA title. Other videos also went viral of OKC players like Lu Dort not being whistled for mauling their opponents. Basketball fans noted the hypocrisy. That also carried into this season too, where NBA coaches like Chris Finch, Nick Nurse, Mike Brown, and JB Bickerstaff made public comments about OKC’s favorable whistle. In many arena’s fans let Shai and OKC know about it as the “free-throw merchant” chants echoed in the building many times when Shai went to the line. The issue many have noted isn’t the number of free-throws that Shai gets, or the number of attempts disparity between OKC and their opponents, but it has always been about the type of fouls that are called. It seems that OKC’s strategy going into games has been to foul multiple times every possession, using the “they can’t call them all” approach. The problem with that strategy is that every team hasn’t been afforded that same luxury. If OKC fouls on every possession of a 48 minute game, and their opponent only does it 25% of their possessions, but OKC takes 5 less free-throws, did the opponent really get a better whistle?? Now the world is watching as the 2026 NBA playoffs begin. Will basketball fans finally see a level playing field for all 16 teams?? Only time will tell.
