A proposito di questo titolo

Segment 1: The chronology of a championship (starts at 1:31)

  • First title since 1973, one of the most dominant playoff runs in NBA history (15-3, 13 wins in a row)
  • Leon Rose hired as head of basketball operations as the architect in March, 2020
  • Signed Jalen Brunson as a free agent, traded for Josh Hart from the TrailBlazers, OG Anunoby arrived from Toronto (trade), traded 5 No. 1 picks -- 4 wasn't enough? -- for Mikal Bridges, fired head coach Tom Thibodeau, hired Mike Brown, final piece of championship piece was the trade for Karl-Anthony Towns
  • You could call this team the (Villa)nova Knicks (Brunson, Hart and Bridges played together at Villanova and won two NCAA championships...Brunson and Bridges 2, Hart 1)

Segment 2: Thoughts on Game 5, Series (14:03)

  • Spurs have great talent and a very bright future
  • Expect Wemby to get bigger, stronger and better conditioned, needs to make better shot selections
  • Horrific, one-sided officiating throughout the series, protecting Wemby
  • Wemby committed some fouls that would be considered a penalty in hockey, obvious flagrant fouls not called so he would not miss a game (another flagrant and he would have served a one game suspension)
  • Spurs the more talented team, but the best player/closer on the floor was Jalen Brunson (45 points in Game 5, most in franchise history in the NBA Finals)
  • San Antonio still learning how to win, how to close games
  • Not one player hit two consecutive free throws in the last two minutes
  • Wemby went 44-104 from the floor, and 9-33 from downtown in the series
  • Rinse, lather, repeat: each game Spurs built a lead and the Knicks chipped away and found ways to win
  • Basketball IQ: Brunson drew several fouls when shooting 3s by using fakes, led to many free throws
  • Emotional moment after the game: Brunson hugging his father (Knicks assistant coach)
  • "Tired legs can't hit jumpers"
  • Knicks won all four series clinching games on the road
  • Savor the only Knicks championship in many fan's lives so far

Segment 3: Wemby Post Game Remarks (30:00)

  • Wemby sound bite
