I don't know wtf this means.
Anyway, no...SA knocking off the previous champs, followed by taking care of the team that has steamrolled everyone else in the playoffs would be the better story.

Looks like I need to dust off the old Knicks fandom for the Finals.

Since the 2021-2022 season began, they been showing them at least once a week on national tv.. That was after losing in the 1st round in 2020-2021 season and missing the playoffs in 2021-2022. They just kept showing them once a week even though they missed the playoffs. After winning the East this year, they'll be on every week for another five or six years.
It felt like we had to watch the NY Rangers almost that much and they didn't even have a winning season.

I know the Knicks will be underdogs, but I don’t see how they can be seen as an easy out right now.

If the Knicks end up facing the Thunder in the Finals, the matchup EVERYBODY is going to obsess over is Jalen Brunson versus Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. And honestly, that shite deserves the hype. Brunson is one of those dudes who looks like he’s moving at half speed until you realize he just dropped 34 on your head with six midrange daggers and three possessions where he completely manipulated the defense like a damn chess master. But SGA is a different animal because his length changes everything. He’s not just scoring on you. He’s reaching around screens, poking balls loose, making guards uncomfortable for 94 feet, and then casually getting 12 free throws because defenders start panicking. Brunson would probably have moments where he absolutely fricking cooks OKC’s smaller defenders in switches, but the Thunder throw waves of long athletic freaks at you. That’s what makes them scary as hell. One bad cross-court pass and suddenly Jalen Williams is dunking in transition while the crowd loses its fricking mind. The Knicks would need Brunson to CONTROL tempo because if this series turns into a track meet, OKC starts looking terrifying.
Then you get OG Anunoby against Jalen Williams, and THAT feels like one of those ugly, physical, “who’s willing to bleed more” playoff battles. OG isn’t flashy, but that dude is built like a damn refrigerator with arms. He can bully wings, switch onto guards, and make life miserable for scorers. Jalen Williams meanwhile is one of those guys that keeps getting better every month. He’s smooth as hell, gets to the rim effortlessly, and has that annoying ability to hit momentum shots right when you think the Thunder are wobbling. I think people underestimate how IMPORTANT this matchup would be because whichever guy wins that battle probably swings two or three games in the series. If OG completely disrupts Williams, then New York can focus more help on SGA. But if Williams starts attacking downhill and forcing rotations, suddenly Chet Holmgren is getting open threes and backdoor lobs and the Knicks defense starts scrambling. That’s where OKC becomes a fricking avalanche.
Now Karl-Anthony Towns versus Chet Holmgren would be absolute basketball nerd heaven because it’s basically brute offensive skill versus weird alien defense. KAT offensively is still one of the most gifted big men in basketball. He can shoot from 30 feet, bully smaller defenders, and score in ways that make you forget he’s seven feet tall. But Chet changes geometry. You can literally SEE guys second-guess themselves around the rim when he’s there. The problem for Chet is strength. KAT can absolutely move him around if he decides to be aggressive instead of floating around the perimeter settling for jumpers. And that’s the frustrating thing about Towns. Some nights he looks like the most unstoppable offensive mismatch in the league, and other nights he starts doing dumb shite like pump-faking himself into trouble and committing offensive fouls 30 feet from the basket. If New York gets GOOD KAT consistently, OKC has a serious problem. But if Chet frustrates him mentally and turns him passive, the Thunder suddenly have the edge because Holmgren spaces the floor so damn well offensively too.
Josh Hart would become one of the biggest swing players in the entire series because he does all the grimy shite that wins playoff games. Rebounds over centers, dives into the crowd, somehow ends up with 17 points without anyone noticing. Thunder fans would HATE him by Game 3 because he’s the type of player that steals possessions purely through effort. But Lu Dort exists specifically to ruin nights for guys like Brunson and Hart. Dort is basically a fricking linebacker playing basketball. He bodies people up, fights through screens like they insulted his family, and never seems to get tired. There’s a real possibility this series becomes incredibly physical and ugly because both teams LOVE defenders who make every possession feel miserable. Not dirty basketball necessarily, just exhausting basketball where by the fourth quarter everybody looks like they survived a car wreck.
But if the San Antonio Spurs make it instead of OKC? Oh man, that series becomes WAY more dramatic because now you’ve got Victor Wembanyama hanging over the entire fricking court like a science experiment created in a lab. Brunson would still get his buckets because elite guards always find ways to score, but every single drive suddenly feels dangerous when Wemby is lurking. There are possessions where players think they’re open and then this 8-foot French alien appears out of nowhere and sends the ball into the third row. The Knicks would probably try dragging Wemby into pick-and-rolls nonstop to wear him down physically, but the terrifying thing is he recovers so damn quickly. You think you finally got him out of position and suddenly he’s blocking a corner three five seconds later. It doesn’t even make sense sometimes.
The KAT versus Wembanyama matchup would probably decide sports talk television for an entire month because it’s offense versus generational defensive chaos. KAT can absolutely stretch Wemby away from the rim with shooting, and that matters because the Spurs defense changes completely when Victor isn’t camping near the basket. But Wemby’s length affects shooters too. He contests jumpers from distances normal humans simply cannot. And offensively, Wembanyama against the Knicks frontcourt would create constant stress because you cannot guard him conventionally. Too tall for wings, too quick for centers, too skilled for basically everybody. You’d probably see OG Anunoby get some possessions on him because OG is strong enough to bother him physically, but even then Wemby can just shoot over the top anyway. It’s absurd.
The sneaky matchup in a Knicks-Spurs series would actually be De’Aaron Fox attacking New York’s perimeter defense. People focus on Wemby for obvious reasons, but Fox at full speed changes EVERYTHING. That dude gets downhill like his shoes are on fire. If Brunson has to spend energy chasing Fox around while ALSO carrying the offensive load, you start wondering whether the Knicks have enough gas over a long series. And that’s where New York’s toughness gets tested. Because the Knicks under Tom Thibodeau don’t really quit. They’ll ugly a game up. They’ll slow it down. They’ll make it feel like a bar fight in the rain. But San Antonio suddenly has this weird combination of speed, length, and confidence that can overwhelm teams when they get rolling.
Honestly, the Thunder matchup feels more complete and balanced. OKC has the depth, the defense, the shot creation, and the playoff composure where every weakness gets covered by another strength. The Spurs matchup feels more chaotic and emotional because Wembanyama changes the entire psychological atmosphere of a series. Guys stop attacking normally. Coaches start overthinking rotations. Fans hold their breath every time he rotates defensively because something insane might happen. Either way, the Knicks would not have an easy Finals. Brunson would have to play like an absolute DOG, OG would need to be a menace defensively, and Towns would have to avoid those random low-IQ stretches that make fans scream at their TVs. But from an entertainment standpoint? Both series would be fricking incredible.
Knicks in 6!!!

How you write a TL-DR wall of text on the Knicks and not mention what Mitch did against Wemby at the NBA Cup… we’ve seen this movie already

A NYC team winning does nothing because they're going to be a media topic no matter what. Wemby announcing himself as the face of the league by taking down OKC then the Knicks is the best thing.
Nobody cares about the spurs even during their dynasty years they were outshined by the lakers and the Heat
What you really meant was Wemby to the Knicks becoming the face of the nba would be the best thing.

Commentators are such pussies. Sometimes it’s the push offs, sometimes it’s the charge….I don’t know we see that a lot.
