I was rooting for Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs to win it all, but congrats to the New York Knicks for emerging victorious as the NBA champions for the first time in 53 years!
I would've rooted for the Knicks directly had they played against the Oklahoma City Thunder instead. Wemby and Co. blowing that 29-point lead in Game 4 made me want Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns, OG Anunoby and the rest of their teammates to finish the job yesterday.
The Spurs will no doubt be the favorites in the West to return to the NBA Finals next year... Let's see if the Knicks break the current 8-year streak of teams (including the Los Angeles Lakers in 2020) not winning a back-to-back championship after Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors were the last ones to do so in 2017 and '18, respectively. Happy Sunday!
