Athlon Sports – New York Knicks

A special issue commemorating the New York Knicks’ remarkable season highlights all of the fourth-quarter heroics, dramatic comebacks and historic achievements along the team’s journey to winning the franchise’s first NBA Championship since 1973. Earning the Eastern Conference’s No. 3 playoff seed with a 53-win regular season, the Knicks fell behind the Atlanta Hawks, two games to one, in the first round of the playoffs before rattling off three straight victories to reach the Eastern Conference Semifinals. New York then went on a dominant run of epic proportions, sweeping both the Philadelphia 76ers and Cleveland Cavaliers before winning each of the first two games of the 2026 NBA Finals in San Antonio. The Knicks secured their first title in 53 years when star guard Jalen Brunson, the 2026 NBA Finals MVP, erupted for 45 points in a series-clinching Game 5, solidifying himself as one of the greatest players in franchise history. As much of a must-have for Knicks fans as it is for basketball fans in general, this collector’s edition provides full coverage as well as perspective from the winning players who thrilled fans throughout one of the most compelling seasons in NBA history.
