Good for the Knicks - they're the masters of coming from behind.

Jalen Brunson is broken up in the post-game interview. He mentions how important his work ethic was growing up.

I know we're down on a lot of sports (and NYC) these days, but this is a feel-good story for me.

Donโ€™t like the Knicks, but Brunson is a Nova guy , so very happy for him.

Glad to see this isn’t going back to NY for a Game 6. What a nightmare it was playing games there this postseason.

Spurs have Wemby and a bunch of six-foot-six guys

I gave up on the NBA long ago, but was a nominal Laker fan.

That said, I like to see the traditional teams win it. I dislike seeing Oklahoma City and Dallas Mavericks in there. I much prefer Lakers, Knickerbockers, 76ers, and Pistons.

Glad the Knicks beat the Woke Spurs.

Congrats, Knicks.

Obviously they weren’t able to keep the Knicks fans out of the arena.

We needed a championship here in NY. Been too long. One needs to remember that while the city itself is a cesspool, thereโ€™s a lot of NY sports fans that are very conservative. Just nice to see the Knicks finally win. Dolan on balance has been a terrible owner for both the Knicks and Rangers. I was 3 last time they won.

If New York couldn’t lose, I’m glad they won quickly to cut the NBA out of a couple more games of revenue. The last thing I wanted was for them to win in seven.

Good. I'm already tired of Wemby - the guy gets away with more no-call flagrant fouls than anyone I've seen in recent history.

Brunson was amazing tonight, and while KAT and Ananoby were huge in these Finals, Brunson is the driver of that bus. To think the Mavs had both Brunson and Luka and fumbled them both away.

Congrats to the Knicks - I got to see them in the regular season at MSG. Great fan base, well deserved.

Red Holtzman, who coached the 1970 & 1973 Knicks champions, won 613 games. The Knicks won the title tonight on 6/13.

I guess Brunson “spurred” them to victory.

I really question whether Karl Anthony Towns should have won the MVP. Brunson is great, best player on the team, but KAT's play against Wemby enabled them to win the series - and in five.

Compare it to when the Warrior won in 2015. Steph Curry was the best player on the team, but Andre Iguodala won the MVP for clamping down on LeBron James.
