Knicks players are having fun, too
Knicks guard Jose Alvarado, who is from New York, couldn't be more happy to be experiencing this.
"Knicks, we won, and that's amazing. But I'm from here, and it's like, it's just home, different," Alvarado said. "I've been a Knicks fan since I was born, right? My parents [have] been Knicks fans. Just seeing this progress, that everything happened, can't really be put in words. It's just special to me. It's real special."
The Knicks topped the Spurs, 4-1, in the 2026 NBA Finals. It's New York's first NBA championship since 1973. The Knicks were led by Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns and OG Anunoby, who all had big-time performances over the course of the postseason push.
New York is going to have a summer celebrating the Knicks and their big championship over the next couple of months.
