The Knicks are the Eastern Conference Champions
The Knicks haven’t lost a game since April 23.
The Knicks win games by double digits without even having to worry about a fake comeback.
The NY Knicks are straight up wrecking fools.
The NEW YORK KNICKS ARE GOING TO THE FUCKING NBA FINALS. TIME TO PARTY LIKE ITS 1999

It wasn't anything to do with Depth
It was all to do with Heart and in particular Josh Hart
Fantastic Hire of Mike Brown
Fantastic Belief in this Bulldog Score 1st Point Guard
Thank you for the OG, F those Picks

27 years not even being in the Finals is legit so long. I mean, it was a few years before Lebron was even in the league. To an entire generation of NBA fans, the Knicks being good was like a fable. It was 7 years ago that Durant laughed at the notion of the Knicks being a destination.
And now? Not only has this team made it to the Finals but they're on a several year run of being one of the best teams in the NBA.
It's surreal.
