Current, former New York Giants react to Knicks winning NBA Finals

The New York Knicks are champions once again.

After 53 years, Jalen Brunson and the resilient Knicks captured their first NBA title since 1973, defeating the San Antonio Spurs, 94-90, in Game 5 to win the series, 4-1. Brunson poured in 45 points, including a clutch fourth-quarter surge, to earn Finals MVP honors as New York rallied from another double-digit deficit on the road.

Building on their historic 29-point comeback in Game 4, the Knicks overcame early struggles and Victor Wembanyama’s defensive dominance to complete a storybook playoff run filled with resilience and heart. Those at the Madison Square Garden watch party and Knicks fans everywhere erupted in celebration.

As New York savors its long-awaited championship, current and former New York Giants players shared their reactions to the historic moment.

The Knicks’ run is 1 of the most impressive I’ve seen in the NBA playoffs.
Brunson elevated to an absolute, bonafide Super Star! OG stepping up to new 2 way player levels, Kat ran Philly, Hart & Bridges had stretches, & Thibs D foundation-> Brown’s adjustments… Masterful!
