FUCK THEM PICKS chant for Mikal. amazing. love it.

also a hell of a day to remember Thibs, Randle, DiVincenzo (and the double bang v. the Sixers a couple of years back), because this team doesn't win this chip without them. Brown got the Knicks to this moment, but Thibs turned around an org that just had a 17 win season. love those guys forever 💙🧡

hell of a day to wake up as a Knicks fan. our team has a title for the first time in my lifetime, and we're gonna have the parade to end all parades. bing bong everyone. 💙🧡

Jose Alvarado out here leading the Bushwick Puerto Rican Parade. I love this city so much.

was texting about this w/ @thetattooedprof.bsky.social , but it was such a contrast to the ECF - Spida was going around and congratulating and hugging not just the Knicks players, but even Spike Lee. and that was after being swept and losing at home in brutal fashion. nothing but respect for Spida.

Good morning your New York Knicks are NBA Champions 💙🧡

psa for @veghistory.bsky.social and @wildstreet.bsky.social and anyone else enjoying the various postgame vibes - Mitch is now doing the postgame interview now on MSG TV and i am cracking up.

while we're ripping on all the Brunson naysayers who questioned the signing on day 1, we gotta remember fake ass fan Stephen A Smith who dismissed him when he joined the Knicks, and then was commenting on Brunson being selfish and playing to win MVP rather than playing to win after the Game 3 loss

also I am so happy that Charles Oakley was there to see this. love that man forever.

Jalen Brunson has been doubted as an NBA player so often. Contract with the Knicks was called an overpay. Then the 1A conversation. Then various critiques about his efficiency this series. Took over a closeout game in the Finals. Finals MVP. Champion. That's my Captain.

I fucking love Brown and he was the perfect coach for this team. but also, I hope Thibs gets an invite to the parade and a shout out then. we don't get here without Thibs.

EVERYBODY IS BETTER THAN JALEN BRUNSON UNTIL IT'S TIME TO BE BETTER THAN JALEN BRUNSON

for the last time this season EVERYBODY IS BETTER THAN JALEN BRUNSON TIL IT’S TIME TO BE BETTER THAN JALEN BRUNSON.

these will be the longest 8.8 seconds of my life

Jalen I trust you with my life.

Surprised they didn’t call a foul on Brunson for landing on Wemby’s foot

Wemby with an obvious dangerous closeout, and the officials suddenly go blind. As always, the absolute worst officiating of any major professional sport. #Knicks

OAK

Yeah. To the people saying they’d rather have them win it at the Garden, I say: No. This is not a situation where we pick and choose.

The call by THE Mike Breen. He SOOOO deserves to be in that seat for this run 🧡💙 #knickssky

It was the Wu Tang Clan. MY MAYOR MUSLIM MY BAGEL JEWISH WU TANG RESTORED THE VIBES KNICKS IN FIVE

Some of us season ticket holders were never going to sell our Finals tickets. This is why.

Nobody is leaving. We're singing GO NEW YORK GO NEW YORK GO I'm crying

Omfg 🧡💙🧡💙

all these celebs to try and break the trump curse when they just need to invite oakley back

Folks that became Knicks fans 14 games ago: “What the heck is this?!!??” The OG’s:

Wu Tang is forever Halftime show better than the game so far

I don’t EVER want to hear the words “integrity of the game” come out of Adam Silver’s mouth ever again. #knickssky

I'm beginning to understand how Braves fans felt during the Eric Gregg game

Back at the Mecca.

KNICKS IN FIVE

22 second half FTs for Spurs. 4(!) for the Knicks.

[into earbud] this is Adam Silver. Rule in the Spurs’ favor and I’ll let you make a bet on Polymarket as a treat

Heard a LOT of people saying it would only be rich casuals and a mild crowd without many serious fans w these finals prices. #Knicks They were fucking wrong. It's nuclear here. 🧡💙

Can confirm it was LOUD inside

Nearly a two hour wait outside, 3 security checkpoints, midtown is an utter mess... but I made it. #Knicks

I was born in the city and have never lived more than 15-20 miles from my place of birth. Many of the New Yorkers I've known and worked with in my life started came here from somewhere else. That's OK. That's our thing. That's our brand. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

if you're jumping on the Knicks bandwagon, LFGK and BING BONG EVERYONE 🧡💙

this is a new low when it comes to NYT bothsidesism. this is fucking crazy

Hey pocket friends! Many of you know that my wife, Lisa Kaul, is running for NY State Senate. I just wrote and directed my first political ad for her (for the upcoming Dem primary), and I think it's kinda good. Check it out!

I want Mitchell Robinson to decide the punishment for idiots who run onto the court

THIS THIS THIS THIS #knickssky 🧡💙

Here are remarks I gave at the Keeping the Republic Conference at Notre Dame. If you’ve followed me over the past decade or so, my skepticism toward the field’s fixation on polarization likely won’t come as much of a surprise. But here they are, for what they’re worth. substack.com/home/post/p-...

I saw this announcement with shock and sadness. Raul put his heart and soul into teaching and mentoring.

My goodness, this is absolutely heartbreaking. Raul was not just a good friend, he was such an immensely kind and generous mentor who did so much to support junior colleagues and anyone on the margins in academia. This is devastating.

Fresh out with @salilb.bsky.social at PRQ! We find that even after accounting for ideology, Republican primary voters are more likely to reject climate action while Democratic primary voters increasingly support it, making primary electorates more polarized. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

I took some time today to read posts on the Cornyn loss from folks like @stuartpstevens.bsky.social @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social @sykescharlie.bsky.social and Michael Wood, among others. I spoke to a few Texas GOP friends and colleagues for their take and sharing my two cents, as well.
