It's been way too long since I posted here or commented on a thread. My last visit was apparently back in 2023. I used to be on here all the time and broke bread back in the day in Harlem with people from this forum whom I had only known from this forum in what seems like another lifetime ago. It still doesn't feel real that the KNICKS ARE NBA CHAMPIONS!!!!!
It's been a long road. I remember lying on my back in my living room, 11 days after my 17th birthday, in disbelief that the Rockets had won. In '99, I truly didn't think that the Knicks could win without Ewing, and I was right, but I didn't think it would be 27 years until we were back on that stage. I wanted us to face the Spurs so bad for revenge, even though a lot of the players weren't even alive back then. It makes sense if you know where I'm coming from.
I could write forever about what I've been through, what we've all been through as ULTIMATE KNICKS FANS, but we're the F***ING CHAMPS! Everyone has their story about where they were when it happened. It's a moment none of us will ever forget, but to me, it was one of the greatest moments of my life to watch it happen with my 20-year-old son, whom I brainwashed, like any good father would, to love the Knicks. He jumped into my arms, and I jumped up and down while my wife looked at us with a smile on her face.
Tomorrow will be the most amazing championship celebration ever in NYC! We have Yankees/Mets, Giants/Jets, Islanders/Rangers, and even though there's another team, this will always and forever be a KNICKS city! I'm off from work and will be planted in front of my TV before 10 AM with my son and watch it from start to finish. I might finally cry, which I thought would happen when we won. I've become teary-eyed since, but haven't let it out yet.
To those who remember me, what up? For the others, "Nice to meet you."
BLUE & ORANGE 4 LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There is another team? Didn't realize
It really hasn’t fully hit. With the championship then the draft and free agency right after, there’s no real period of reflection until later on. It’s just a whirlwind. Once we hit a downtime it will be fun to just enjoy the idea that this really did happen.
Doesn’t feel real because it’s the matrix
