This is the first time I have lived in a city that has won a professional sports championship. The closest was have been before was in 2017 when the Nashville Predators played in the Stanley Cup final in the National Hockey League (NHL).
It's fun when you are winning.
The Knicks certainly overcame the odds to win, especially a 29-point comeback in Game #4 to take the lead in the series when the San Antonio Spurs almost had the series tied up.
I can't say that I'm a Knicks fan. I'm not going to jump on the bandwagon when they just won the title. That would be rude.
Over the past several years, I haven't been a fan of any NBA team. I grew up as a fan of the Atlanta Hawks but after so many heartbreaking disappointments my interest finally grew cold. I endured many Boston Celtics-LA Lakers finals and also grew tired of watching during the Chicago Bulls dynasty.
I'm genuinely happy for Knicks fans. They endured many disappointing seasons and heartbreaking losses. It's nice to see them enjoy having a championship season.
The parade is scheduled for Thursday. We won't be going but it will be fun to watch.
