There's something cool about the fact that everything the Knicks have built is from the alternate path they had to take when they didn't get Ja or Zion in that draft. There's a universe where they do get one of them and the team is still spinning its wheels in no-man's-land.

In Zohran Mamdani's America, the Knicks are shockingly close to completing what would be one of the most dominant postseason runs in NBA history.

Air Corgi has fallen. We are through the looking glass.

Damn, the Knicks might actually do this

I honestly can't think of a better metaphor for what's wrong w ESPN's sports coverage than them indulging in the instant replay of a trespasser's selfie during the fourth quarter of the NBA Finals

If I was any of these four people, I'd be furious that ABC decided to show a replay of that fan taking a selfie on the floor

You can already tell this series has peak written all over it

These Finals are an intriguing matchup between a team with no mascot and a team with a mascot looks like it's tried every drug known to man

A big factor for tonight's game is that Air Corgi is in attendance and is no doubt blessing the Spurs significantly more than the nuns are

Think how much the center position has changed in the NBA that in the 90s the Finals center matchup was Luc Longley vs Greg Ostertag and now it's KAT vs Wemby

Other than the awful on-court Emirates ads, this is easily the biggest the NBA Finals has felt presentationally in a super long time.

(We all agree the Finals deserve to be on NBC instead of ABC, right?)

Too many of you sound like this

Seeing these Finals logos without a single YouTube TV logo ad underneath them >>>

Even if you were the most non-political person alive, I don't know how you could see this and not find it absolutely embarrassing.

It is now a day in which an NBA Finals game will be played

The more I've seen the Ant dunk over John Collins from 2 yrs ago, the more I've come to believe that it might be the best looking posterization of all time from the broadcast camera. Some dunks might look better on instant replay, but from the live game cam this is hard to top.

Wemby the first time he sees the Larry O'Brien trophy in person

So many mainstream sports talk discussions make sense when you consider that sports talk - but especially sports talk radio - is inherently conservative and traditionally dominated by guys who look at athletes and go "But are they proper enough?"

It's so weird to still be having discussions like this in 2026 when the face of MLB and MLS are foreigners and everyone agrees the leagues are unbelievably fortunate to have them.

A.J. Brown is so good that he made Ryan Tannehill one of the best quarterbacks in the league for two seasons. RYAN TANNEHILL.

All conservative commentary is just this now

It would've been interesting to see how TADC movie would do if it had been given a wide release with a regular exclusive window, because I have no doubt it would've done amazing business. Like zero hesitation that it'd annihilate the He-Man movie.

If Wemby played StarCraft I'd put it at 66% he'd be a Protoss with a 33% chance he'd be Zerg and a 1% chance he'd be Terran. I just can't see him playing Terran, it'd have to be one of the other two.

My watch is over

It's so heartwarming how a few years ago, we were all worried Covid was gonna kill off the movie theater industry or that only major tentpole films would be released on it, and now here we are with the box office surging around a pair of weird, low-budget horror movies.

When Agent Smith tells Neo that 1999 was the pinnacle of human civilization, he was referring to this.

THANK GOD. It really is unbelievable how putrid the YouTube TV ads were during the Finals the last few years. I mean it's almost comical.

The most 1999 thing about the previous NBA Finals between the Knicks and the Spurs might be that the Spurs were playing StarCraft against each other in between games

Just remembered this. Wemby has to share his MVP trophy with this dog now.

The only other NBA player I've ever seen who's ever lived up to their astronomical hype like this is LeBron. Wemby really does feel like the kind of phenom you only get to see a few times in your lifetime.

"Donald Trump is joining the Reform Party? Oh interesting."

NBA Cup disrespecters need to take a cold hard look in the mirror and see where their life went wrong

1999: we are BACK

SGA tonight

I love sports so much man. What do you mean Luke Kornet might've just come closest to replicating the LeBron chase down block in a Game 7? What a world.

Productive Luke Kornet minutes?!?!?

Hard to win when you're getting *this* little help from the other starters

They don't make basketball games much better than this

Julian Champagnie, AKA: The Toast

You know who would've loved watching this Game 7 if she were real? The realtor fish lady from SpongeBob

Anyone on Bluesky who isn't posting about tonight's Game 7 should be forced to explore the Titanic crash site in a homemade submersible

Holy hell what a half

Spurs-Thunder Game 7

It's gonna be funny if they ever make a movie about Wemby because they'll totally have to put his actor on crates and use forced perspective and stuff to try to make him look somewhat realistic.

Who wins tonight? I say San Antonio wins 114-113 on a 93-foot fadeaway skyhook from Stephon Castle, with 20 on the shot clock to boot - much to everyone's confusion and shock.

*Bill Simmons voice* Is gooning having a moment?
