After 53 years, the wait is over.
The Knicks won the 2026 NBA Finals, defeating the San Antonio Spurs to bring the Larry O’Brien Trophy back to Madison Square Garden for the first time since 1973.
Jalen Brunson. Karl-Anthony Towns. OG Anunoby. Josh Hart. These guys actually did it.
The road through San Antonio wasn’t always clean, but that’s this team. Gritty, stubborn, refusing to fold. Brunson was everything this city needed him to be, and Towns finally got the ring his talent has always deserved.

The last time this franchise hoisted the trophy, Nixon was in the White House, “The Godfather” was still in theaters and the Garden looked completely different.
