That Fat Joe in the picture?
The guys look good! Jalen very poished! Crisp look. Kat, very nice!
OG looks like the first time he wore a suite. But in a good way!
Leon? He needs a stylist? Some skin care, facial accessories like hair, glasses, something? The some guys can pull off the black T with a tux/suit? Not him. The black sneaker shoe thing with white sole? Bit dated now. Not saying he has to be the best dressed in the room, but a bit more?
But, can't argue the results! Dude is getting it done.
WWW, fits in the moment. Daddy Rick, very nice.
Glad Dolan was not in on it.
Clarkson? dude looks smooth! Mikal? Also.
Shamet I guess is still in Italy with his girl? good for him! Josh maybe on vacation with the family? Funny line.
Good times! Enjoy it as it never lasts in that world.

Don't care about the ESPYS, but what we're seeing is the immortality that comes from winning a title in New York. We tried to tell guys over the years, but kept getting spurned. Oh well, you missed your chance!

LOL! To the victor the spoils!
Espy's are kind of lame but not this year!
Knicks are COOL!
Yes, they missed thier chance but some of them also knew if you don't deliver the NY experience can be dreadful.
In some aspects Melo got a free pass to some extent given he had Phil Jax took a good deal of the heat when things went south after he resigned and Melo did not really "Sacrifice". What we have seen in this knick team is many guys have to in order to win a chip. I don't "Blame" Melo or Amare for that era's dysfunction. Thats really still on Dolan for still insisting on the starphuch roster construction.

What is super cool is Jalen became a star under the bright lights of broadway. KAT made good on his potential, and OG got the exposure to what we have seen since he got here.

A team for the ages and it did not have a Westbrook, Durant, Lebron, Kobe, Donovan Mitchell, Giannis, etc type hype.

Even with the dysfunction - the Melo-drama, Stat and his fire extinguisher, Steph and his representation of the Isiah years - those guys are still getting love from the city. Credit Dolan - because we so rarely get to - Once a Knick, Always a Knick was such a fantastic move with this franchise in paying tribute to the guys who battled for us, even with their varying degrees of failure.

But I'm not just talking about loved in NY - Kawhi, Siakam, Van Vleet obviously loved in Toronto too, but didn't get this sort of love fest on this stage. The NY championship team is amplified at another level.

The national media tour this team has been on is prominently NY based, so a lot of these stops are going to have some bias towards our Knicks instead of someone like Toronto or OKC. But these are the voices talking to fans all over the country, not just on MSG.

Yeah, ESPYS are lame, and honestly forgot they existed until this week. But how cool was it to see OG stand in front of a crowd of his peers across all of sports and get serenaded with the OG chants?

Winning one here is just different.
