Jalen Brunson hits 3-pointer as Knicks hold on to win NBA Finals

9. I'm definitely not a Knicks fan

but I like even less when the NBA, the refs they employ, and the announcers are all in the business of promoting "the next big star". That is how the NBA has been for basically the whole TV era whether we are talking Magic and Bird, Michael, Durant or now Wemby. That no-call when Wemby didn't give Brunson room to land. That's is a textbook case, but if they made the call, then Wemby would have received a one-game penalty, and we can't have that.

So kudos to the Knicks for having the toughness to win. Virtually all the national goofs had already declared this series for the Spurs before the series even started.

Last year's series betwen Pacers and OK was great because it was just hoops -- two teams playing hard without the league putting their finger on the scale. There were appealing young stars on both teams, but not the kind the league likes to promote.
