It only took 53 years!
That’s how long Knicks fans have been waiting for this moment. Over a half-century later, New Yorkers are going bonkers over our Knickerbockers.
Cheers of excitement were heard across the five boroughs last night as our beloved home team earned the NBA championship title in a nail-biting 94-90 win against the San Antonio Spurs.
Even Timothée Chalamet, one of the most notable Knicks celebrity superfans who has been nominated for four Oscars but has yet to win one, couldn’t contain his excitement for last night’s historic win as he loudly shouted to cameras, “Way rather this than the Oscars, c’mon, baby! Knicks are champions, baby!”
The actor celebrated by jumping up and down with the winning team, holding up a mockup of The Post alongside Mikal Bridges on the court at Frost Bank Center.
If you’re still trying to wrap your head around this incredible New York City moment, The Post has a ton of commemorative items up for grabs in our store, including the real star of the show, our entire June 14, 2026, edition.
Don’t miss your chance to score an original print of the day’s issue featuring front and back covers of the boys in orange and blue celebrating their victory.
Let’s ride this high for as long as we can. The Larry O’Brien Championship Trophy is back in New York for the first time since 1973, and The Post has been there covering the entire wild ride. Take home a copy of our paper for the ultimate collector’s item.
But why stop there? This type of thing doesn’t happen every day… or even every decade. We’re offering these iconic covers in a variety of options.
